Dear god. It's never in open play, but in the jagged moments in between. A slip and fall, a series of ludicrous rebounds, a corner developing into a second effort in which the players fail to close down.
Villa are good, but this is absolute charity for their offense. And every single case is just a failure to execute very basic things.

Managers have one job: articulating coherent intent on which their teams can execute. Unfortunately, they have been failing at this job for decades.
AI gave them a timely out. Now anyone can ship code without knowing what they're doing, why they are doing it, or how it makes money.
But it turns out that shipping code is not the end of the work...

LLMs Corrupt Your Documents When You Delegate
"Delegation requires trust - the expectation that the LLM will faithfully execute the task without introducing errors into documents. We introduce DELEGATE-52 to study the readiness of AI systems in delegated workflows. DELEGATE-52 simulates long delegated workflows that require in-depth document editing across 52 professional domains, such as coding, crystallography, and music notation. Our large-scale experiment with 19 LLMs reveals …

RE: hachyderm.io/@skinnylatte/1166
I’d just like to remind everyone, because it’s easy to forget, that in the US Constitution’s system of government, the legislative branch creates the law — including the function and duty of federal agencies — and the executive branch is bound to faithfully execute that law.
Not that you can tell.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are poised to disrupt knowledge work,
with the emergence of delegated work as a new interaction paradigm
(e.g., vibe coding).
Delegation requires trust
- the expectation that the LLM will faithfully execute the task without introducing errors into documents.
Our large-scale experiment with 19 LLMs reveals that current models degrade documents during delegation:
even frontier models (Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude 4.6 Opus, GPT 5.4) c…

“In this work, we conduct a large-scale simulation of how users might delegate work to LLMs across 52 professional domains. We find that current LLMs are unreliable delegates: even frontier models corrupt an average of 25% of document content over long workflows, with sparse but severe errors that silently compound over time.”
Good to see the issue addressed explicitly, even though the results aren’t surprising—why would anyone expect LLMs to be reliable!?

"Current reporting accurately notes that ZionSiphon requires only a minor fix to its targeting logic to execute. But, even with that fix, the follow-on code is riddled with logic errors and invalid assumptions and would fail to achieve its intended objective. In other words, the error in targeting logic is only one of many problems."

Funny story, that Claude thing. But I hate when I read that „AI goes rogue“. A „misdemeanor“. Or it „apologized“ and „admitted“.
It’s a fricking text extruder that does random things because the algorithm thinks those words fit into its context. If you let such a program execute whatever command it spits out - that’s on you. If the cloud provider keeps backups on the same drive as the original data, that’s on them and you should try suing them.

Until we can guarantee we'll never execute another innocent person, and until we can start holding people criminally responsible for the part tehy play in wrongful convictions, The State has no business killing people.

Not the most intuitive interface, but tinyman trigger setup is pretty neat if you are doing trades on algorand. This probably applies to only a handful of people considering the wasteland that algorand has been but I thought it was pretty cool. I have been taking advantage of certain price moves without having to watch the charts or execute trades myself. #algorand

Did you know? Commodore PC's had the setup program in ROM (but no keyboard combo to get to it!). You had to launch DEBUG (a standard DOS command) and then jump to a specific address to execute the setup program.
(IBM PCs needed a you to boot from a special SETUP diskette, better not lose that one!)
