Nice article, about a serious problem/risk with AI models. AI poisoning.
"Part of the problem is that AI models can offer wildly different results depending on exactly what is asked and what kind of information they are drawing on. Search for “bixonimania”, and Google’s AI overview might treat it as a legitimate condition. Ask it “Is bixonimania real?” and the same AI overview might confirm that it isn’t legitimate."

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real
Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional illness?

So, something from my car's buildlog made it into Google's AI summary (yes, it links my buildlog as the source and and only source for this)...
Problem for me isn't that Google uses it (that debate can go on for ages, not worth my time), the problem is that this "fix", isn't actually a fix.
It was a band-aid fix to make something work "alright-ish" for me to get certain usable data but isn't actually a proper fix.

The Deficit Reflex: Why Change Management Keeps Solving The Wrong Problem
Change management keeps failing, even when execution is disciplined. The problem isn’t resistance. It’s the reflex leaders use to decide what needs fixing.

Consider these points the thread makes:
- Maintainers can't trust submitters have properly reviewed code
- so review burden increases
- and submission success rate decreases
- OSS is thus in deep trouble
- and though LLMs are the catalyst, trust issues are the root problem.
That sure paints a picture — one that rings true to me.

When the government offers to provide rebates or tax credits to low income Canadians, as recently announced by our Federal Government, most welcome the extra cash. But it doesn't address the key issue in affordable food, housing, or utilities. All of that extra government cash, provided by taxpayers BTW, gets sucked up by corporations that continue to rake in record profits. If you want to truly attack the #Affordability problem then implement laws that penalize excess profit taking by corporations.

Submodular Maximization over a Matroid $k$-Intersection: Multiplicative Improvement over Greedy
Moran Feldman, Justin Ward
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.08473 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.08473 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.08473
arXiv:2602.08473v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study the problem of maximizing a non-negative monotone submodular objective $f$ subject to the intersection of $k$ arbitrary matroid constraints. The natural greedy algorithm guarantees $(k 1)$-approximation for this problem, and the state-of-the-art algorithm only improves this approximation ratio to $k$. We give a $\frac{2k\ln2}{1 \ln2} O(\sqrt{k})<0.819k O(\sqrt{k})$ approximation for this problem. Our result is the first multiplicative improvement over the approximation ratio of the greedy algorithm for general $k$. We further show that our algorithm can be used to obtain roughly the same approximation ratio also for the more general problem in which the objective is not guaranteed to be monotone (the sublinear term in the approximation ratio becomes $O(k^{2/3})$ rather than $O(\sqrt{k})$ in this case).
All of our results hold also when the $k$-matroid intersection constraint is replaced with a more general matroid $k$-parity constraint. Furthermore, unlike the case in many of the previous works, our algorithms run in time that is independent of $k$ and polynomial in the size of the ground set. Our algorithms are based on a hybrid greedy local search approach recently introduced by Singer and Thiery (STOC 2025) for the weighted matroid $k$-intersection problem, which is a special case of the problem we consider. Leveraging their approach in the submodular setting requires several non-trivial insights and algorithmic modifications since the marginals of a submodular function $f$, which correspond to the weights in the weighted case, are not independent of the algorithm's internal randomness. In the special weighted case studied by Singer and Thiery, our algorithms reduce to a variant of their algorithm with an improved approximation ratio of $k\ln2 1-\ln2<0.694k 0.307$, compared to an approximation ratio of $\frac{k 1}{2\ln2}\approx0.722k 0.722$ guaranteed by Singer and Thiery.

“How may the compulsive programmer be distinguished from a merely dedicated, hard-working professional programmer? First, by the fact that the ordinary professional programmer addresses himself to the problem to be solved, whereas the compulsive programmer sees the problem mainly as an opportunity to interact with the computer. The ordinary computer programmer will usually discuss both his substantive and his technical programming problem with others. He will generally do lengthy preparatory work, such as writing and flow diagramming, before beginning work with the computer itself. His sessions with the computer may be comparatively short. He may even let others do the actual console work. He develops his program slowly and systematically. When something doesn't work, he may spend considerable time away from the computer, framing careful hypotheses to account for the malfunction and designing crucial experiments to test them. Again, he may leave the actual running of the computer to others. He is able, while waiting for results from the computer, to attend to other aspects of his work, such as documenting what he has already done. When he has finally composed the program he set out to produce, he is able to complete a sensible description of it and to turn his attention to other things. The professional regards programming as a means toward an end, not as an end in itself. His satisfaction comes from having solved a substantive problem, not from having bent a computer to his will.”

The history of the term "anarchist" is itself adversarial.

I think I have said some useful things in my post, or at least repeated things others have been saying for years in a useful way, but this post is really the thing to look at (again, if you didn't miss it like I did) and think. There was definitely a time when I would have fallen for that whole hoax, and maybe even have struggled to argue against the things being highlighted. But it's clear that there is still a problem, and I hope repeating these things in my dude voice catches the attention of some folks who might have otherwise missed it... And I hope my adversarial approach doesn't pull focus away from the self-reflection that needs to happen.
Men are the problem here. Men need to fix this. Men are responsible for looking at some of this really horrible shit and acknowledging that we've all been part of the system that makes them possible and have an obligation to destroy that system.
