A bunch of clients of mine are getting hammered with AI bot traffic. Installed a couple of monitoring tools (Dark Visitors) and it was really eye opening. Good to see more light shed onto this.

I think if someone tried to tell me joke at a bus stop about something in the national media I would assume they work for a crap newspaper with a deeply weird agenda and slowly edge away and hang out with my fellow Londoners in the glorious sunshine enjoying life.

If you use "AI agents" (LLMs calling tools in a loop) you need to be aware of the Lethal Trifecta Combine access to private data, exposure to untrusted content and the ability to externally communicate and an attacker can trick the system into stealing your data simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/16/...

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

Regarding some of the discourse around Bluesky. Maybe it’s okay that something doesn’t grow at 10x every second and gets pumped with VC money to burn. Maybe a sustainable, resilient platform with a no inconsiderable user base is, like, okay.

Love that renewables discourse is now about maintaining grid stability, like all for solar, wind but what about the spinning turbines yo. That’s why Sizewell C nuclear power plant makes a lot of sense. 24/7 for 100 years keeping the grid humming at a nice 50Hz. Also the rock star that is Dinorwig.

There is a designer that has spent years in Apple with a secret folder labeled ‘Skeuomorphism’. Hiding in the back whenever Jonny Ive walked past whispering ‘one day drop shadows shall be mine’

If you’re looking for quality independent reporting on what’s happening in Los Angeles, I’ve put together a starter pack for it. If you’d like to be added or know an indie who should be added, hmu

Razer finally released Synapse for the Mac!? There are Dinosaur bones younger than the last working version.

Time to nationalise this. No way can this be allowed.

God DAMN

I never, ever want to hear again that women are too emotional to be leaders.

Taking the muted words off for a little.
