Faster than understanding
"Is this really a productivity boost? Probably only for people who do not care about whether or not they produce software that works correctly."
Oof, that captures the core concern with AI "work" painfully well.

According to Mandiant's latest threat data, the median time between an initial access event and the hand-off to a secondary threat group dropped from more than 8 hours in 2022 to only 22 seconds in 2025.
Check out my latest CSO report for more insights on how attacker dwell time rose, voice phishing topped email phishing, and threat actors increasingly targeted backup and identity systems.

What @… says is what a lot of us have been lamenting since the ICE invasion started. Shouldn’t local police protect citizens from ICE?? Why this hasn’t happened is a really good question. Factors to consider:
- “Obstructing a federal agent” is illegal, and local police / politicians feel constrained by that (even if the agents themselves don’t seem constrained by the actual law at all, only by what they think they can get away with)
- Police can in theory cite federal agents for e.g. traffic violations or illegal plate swapping after the fact, as long as they’re not “obstructing” the agents — but how do you cite a masked person with fake plates who refuses to give ID?
- Some police are visibly supportive of ICE, chumming it up with them and giving literal fist bumps; a nontrivial subset are outright closet Nazis. A lot of people don’t really see any need to go past “ACAB” as a full explanation for all of this — and certainly The ACAB Hypothesis is…um, not really being proved false right now in Minneapolis.
- I think some police quietly resent ICE for stepping on their turf, but that does not seem to have boiled up into actual confrontation in MSP. One police leader here painted it in early Dec as “some people want to instigate a confrontation between Minneapolis Police, and that’s not going to happen.” Police culture says that police should be a neutral party in a dispute between ICE and residents, and actually protecting residents would be taking sides. (Duh, yes, taking sides that way is your literal job, you dumbasses…but I digress.)
- Some police (especially leadership) really want to get on the community’s good side after the murder of George Floyd, and see this as an opportunity, but unfortunately this has materialized entirely as non-interventionist support: “We responded to a 911 call and help a distressed resident after her husband was abducted!” “We transported children left parentless on the streets by ICE safely back to their home!” “Our officers volunteered at the food shelf!” OK, nice, good for you buddy.
So yeah, I’m wondering this too, and am bitter about it. https://tilde.zone/@n1xnx/115928447564126393

To review, I am not going quite so far as to saying the thing is “entirely without use”. I am saying:
* There’s a lot of FOMO around LLMs.
* There are money-men heavily invested in you using them *no matter* their efficacy.
* The ethics are… not good IMO.
* Building software is a lot more than writing code that “technically works”.
* There are definitely at least *some* times where doing it yourself is faster.
* I’m fucking tired okay.

The US-Israel war on Iran is a disaster for the climate, according to an analysis that finds it is draining the global carbon budget faster than 84 countries combined.
As warplanes, drones and missiles kill thousands of people, level infrastructure and turn the Middle East into a gigantic environmental sacrifice zone, the first analysis of the climate cost has found the conflict led to
5 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in its first 14 days.
“Every missile strike …
