There's at least one more option: roll back the networkification of all software over the last 20 years. Some software must be networked, but a lot is networked only because that enables more lucrative subscription business models. We could undo that. xitter.cf/sachaservan/status/211…
There are two approaches to cybersecurity now that we’re in the vulnpolcalypse:
1. “patch the planet” by burning mountains of tokens, red teaming, and patching until you think there are no more exploitable bugs in the software
2. Shrink software components into their most minimal essence, tailor them to a particular system, and then formally verify it
Both approches are now enabled by LLMs. But only the second one can be done on a budget and without having access to frontier cyber models like mythos.
This is why I’m excited to see more legacy software get boiled down, hardened, and verified

Today Israeli authorities barred me and other European elected representatives from entering the West Bank to meet Palestinian students and civil society leaders, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
We knew that by crossing into the occupied Palestinian territories, we risked being detained, interrogated and turned away by Israeli authorities. And that, alas, is exactly what happened.
For more than eight hours, we were held, interrogated and made to feel as though we had done something wrong simply by attempting to enter.
The simple truth is we had done nothing wrong. We went to show our support for the Palestinian people and highlight the terrible injustice and violence being perpetrated against them. We want to ensure that people back home do not look away from the reality of what is happening.
Ultimately, we went to show solidarity. But we left with an even greater determination to speak out. We will not be silenced, and we will not look away. None of us should.

I'm coding the engine for Chessamphetamine from scratch, by hand, in C89, with no libraries, and absolutely no AI code.
But I'm not doing it as an ethical statement. I just enjoy coding from scratch.
But everyone wants labels! Or don't they?
27%Label human vs AI code
2%Boycott AI-coded games!
25%Boycott virtue signalling
46%Who cares?

"Owning the means of production" sounds ancient but we really need to get people to understand that all of that stuff applies to "Frontier labs own the magic labour machine & will rent it out to the captains of any industry that can pay, who will hire former artisans to pilot it"

Il y a 12 ans, le 26 octobre 2014, le militant écologiste Rémi Fraisse, âgé de 21 ans, trouvait la mort à Sivens après un tir de grenade offensive.
Le 9 janvier 2020, un non-lieu pour le gendarme auteur du tir était confirmé en Cour d'appel.
