1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.

It is a campaign of erasure: the systematic extermination of an occupied people, not for defense, but annihilation. Every man woman & child is marked for death or exile, every home, school, hospital reduced to ash. Now, even shedding a tear for this horror has become a crime in the land of the free.

I couldn't attend because my wife is sick, but most Jews I know in the US had a Passover seder tonight and rightly appreciated the commemoration of people being freed from bondage. I guess behaving like genocidal fucking maniacs for the 553rd day in a row is also an option. Chag pesach sameach.

I understand the situation people are in. I really do. But we have to be real about what is happening - both to the climate and our country.

They’ll do it in a few high profile cases to set examples. People will say, “No way this holds up in court.” Maybe. But we now know the plan: they’ll do it first, then dare the courts to stop them. And this too will be very difficult for courts to undo. This is end of democracy stuff.

They’re gonna destroy anything worthwhile in this country. We’re frankly all pathetic cowards for not stopping them.

Just reluctantly heard a clip of a Benson Boone song from Coachella that sounds like the music in the credits of a low budget 80s BMX movie. Not my thing but you do you.

Screened the first episode of the 2023 PBS Disco documentary for my pop music class today and it’s a really great. I never show things in class I haven’t seen before (or maybe seen 50 times) but seemed like decent bet and it was.
