Some sanity:-
"This Alternative Defence Review challenges the dominant war narrative — cultivated by political elites, the military-industrial
complex, and the mainstream media—and offers a new vision
for peace, justice, and security."

Das war tatsächlich die ERSTE Metal-Band, ohne Modern/Alternative/Core/Post/sonstwas-Zusatz auf dem Leineweber, oder?
Weiter so! 🤘

The #OpenAI paper by Baker et al, "Monitoring Reasoning Models for Misbehavior and the Risks of Promoting Obfuscation" comes to a troubling conclusion: #LLM s with #reasoning or

If CoT pressures are used to improve agent capabilities or alignment, there may be no alternative approach to yield the same improvements without degrading monitorability. In the worst case, where the agent learns to fully obscure its intent in its CoT, we ultimately revert to the same model safety conditions that existed prior to the emergence of reasoning models and must rely on monitoring activations, monitoring potentially adversarial CoTs and outputs, or improved alignment methods. Model a…

Another week, another essay. This time, it's an essay for the Florilegium, my native plant gardening blog, a deep dive into the Japanese garden aesthetic in the United States, why it is not just lazy but harmful in so many ways and what alternative might we seek. Link in the comments.

Wow, what a weird rabbit-hole I just ended up down.
So, the “Spread Mastodon" page (tutorial?) recommends a cool-sounding browser extension as an alternative to all those constantly-dead 'fedifinder' / Twitter-person-looker-upper-tools: the ‘Whosum Social Assistant' browser extension.
Sounds cool! Sounds like the correct solution to this problem!

Au départ, j'avais pensé que d'un point de vue fonctionnel, github.com/OriPekelman/alpair était une sorte d'alternative open source Š

"But there were technologists and open source projects in attendance. Notably, representatives from the Mastodon and Bluesky teams were at the Festival. The Newsmast Foundation was also present, incisively taking part in conversations to help newsrooms onboard themselves onto both of them. I got to hang out with them all, connecting with people I’d spoken with but never interacted with in person. Mastodon has undergone a transformation, has doubled its team, and is working on smoothing out some of its rough edges, while not letting go of its core ethos. It’s also beginning to position itself as a European alternative to American social media platforms, with a community-first values system and new services to directly help organizations join the network.
Bluesky, on the other hand, has done an able job of bringing journalists onto its existing social app, and is now hard at work explaining why its underlying protocol matters. Both want to engage with newsrooms and journalists and do the right thing by them. They each have something different to prove: Mastodon that it can be usable and accessible, and Bluesky that it can provide a return to its investors and truly decentralize while holding onto its values. I’m rooting for both of them.
These platforms’ messages dovetail with my own: news can own the platforms that support them. Lots of people at the Festival were worried about the impact of US big tech on their businesses — particularly in a world where tech moguls seem to be aligning themselves with a Presidential administration that has positioned itself as being adversarial to news, journalists, sources, and, arguably, the truth. The good news is that the technology is out there, the values-aligned technologists are out there, and there’s a strong path forward. The only thing left is to follow it."
