  OpenAI “rogue” agent activities found on Wikimedia projects https://diff.wikimedia.org/2026/10/05/openai-rogue-agent-activities-found-on-wikimedia-projects/ Why is this acceptable? You need to be able to press charges against OpenAI or any AI company that is running a "rogue" agent for hacking or similar malicious attacks. If a normal human does this, they are held responsible. So, the same responsibility should apply here and charges should be pressed against the CTO/CEO/CSO.

  Sam Altman to Decoded: ‘The world should accept some bad things happening’ for the benefits of AI https://www.politico.com/news/2026/10/04/sam-altman-decoded-interview-ai-01106217 I an really tired and sick of this AI stuff where handful of extremely rich folks telling rest of us that we should accept job losses due to AI, theft of all data, environmental damage, less clean water to drink, increased energy costs and inflation for the benefits of AI slop.

  Want to inspect network activity or endpoints of a closed source binary or script that you don't understand? Try following on Linux: ``` strace -f -e trace=network -o /tmp/network_trace.txt /opt/foo.bin strace -f -e trace=network -o /tmp/network_trace.txt python3 /path/to/bar.py ``` Then you can view all network it made: ``` less /tmp/network_trace.txt ``` strace is nifty diagnostic, debugging, and instructional userspace utility for IT, cybersecurity or dev folks. See: ``` man strace...

  Apple announces 'Full Disk Access' control changes on macOS due to AI agents abusing APIs to access users data, mail, pictures without knowledge. This will prevent AI agents getting unauthorised access by default. https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=p6zjojqw Good thing is I don't have any AI agents installed on Linux desktop. But I am afraid slop is slowing getting in as Linux kernel and others FLOSS projects started accepting slop based patches. Ugh!

  Once again Pope Leo XIV has rejected idea of Anthropic that Claude has a soul. He went one step ahead and called to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity. For those who don't know Anthropic did privately lobby Vatican advisers to take the idea of AI consciousness (Soul) seriously, but Pope Leo XIV completely rejected the idea, firmly stating that AI does not possess a soul, feelings, or a moral conscience https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/20...

  AI ‘godfather’ Yann LeCun has ‘zero concerns’ about human extinction and thinks Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is ‘deluded’ and ‘crazy’. Yann LeCun dismisses fears of AI extinction and recent hacks at OpenAI and Anthropic, arguing that security breaches comes from poor system design, leaky sandboxes, and a lack of basic cybersecurity in AI labs, not out-of-control AI. These AI are doing as told by these AI labs https://fortune.com/2026/10/01/yann-lecun-anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-deluded-crazy-cybe...

  Red Hat Being Phased Out of Existence (Like Many Other Companies That IBM Bought) https://techrights.org/n/2026/10/01/Red_Hat_Being_Phased_Out_of_Existence_Like_Many_Other_Companies.shtml I am not surprised. Red Hat was already pulling some shenanigans with the CentOS drama and then IBM sealed the deal. When big tech buys you out often you die slowly. This is not new or uniq to IBM + RedHat.

  Most data centers refusing to say how much water, electricity they use https://nltimes.nl/2026/09/30/data-centers-refusing-say-much-water-electricity-use The vast majority of data centers in Europe keep information about their environmental impact secret, according to a study by Lighthouse Report in collaboration with Trouw and other European media. In the Netherlands, less than a quarter of larger data centers publish data about their electricity and drinking water usage. Of course, you hide...

  macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess https://www.squareorbits.com/blog/2026/09/macos-golden-gate-is-a-buggy-mess/ Software quality control has been declining for many years and now, with the rise of LLMs, nobody actually reads code anymore. If it passes automated tests, it gets shipped. Developers receive hundreds of PRs per day generated by LLMs. How can anyone review all of them? Rubber stamp it. Everyone is simply trusting what these "black box machines" say and shipping the code. Ev...

  Newly unsealed court documents from Authors Guild v. OpenAI reveal that both OpenAI and Microsoft executives knowingly trained their AI models on pirated books (including all sorts of art theft) while privately admitting that the technology threatens writers' livelihoods. Yet, OpenAI & Microsoft went ahead and released their shity AI on stolen work despite knowing it was illegal. https://authorsguild.org/news/ag-v-openai-top-execs-knew-mass-book-piracy-was-illegal/ Stealing from small g...

  AI has truly convinced every mediocre C-suite person that they are a genius and can replace everyone with AI. I never seen such AI psychosis before in my life. This is not going to end well for anyone.

  Step 1. Drink AI Kool-Aid Step 2. Fire staff (30K real human lost jobs) from AWS and other critical IT roles. Try to replace everyone with shitty AI. Step 3. Why isn't stuff working? Why are our competitors winning? *pikachu face* Step 4. Amazon/AWS is reaching back out to workers it laid off and asking them to come back. Step 5. ???? Step 6. Profit. https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/amazon-rehires-laid-off-workers-ai-roles-1821575

  Visit Homebrew, Rustup, Oh My Zsh, nvm and few other popular open source projects website and you realise that quietly `curl -fsSL` has become the most popular package manager for Linux and Unix users 😂 How did we get here ? 😔 Just pipe the random commands into your shell with sudo added to the mix. What could possibly go wrong? 😑

  RE: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/117282080803799576 Android 17 is the first since version 3.x to add new APIs without releasing to the AOSP. Why would you do that Google? What's with roadblocks for other open source projects? Android would never have been so popular in the first place if it had not been open source and I think Google wants to keep it close source now. So now you have delayed source code release, 3rd party dev verification and list is now endless.

  I lost my $2m book deal because people mistook my African dialect for AI. His debut novel sparked a ferocious bidding war, then questions over AI brought the deal crashing down. Jerry Falade denies using AI to write the book, and many believe that as a Black Nigerian writer, he was subjected to a level of scrutiny others might not have faced https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/books/features/jerry-falade-book-deal-ai-racism-b3050738.html ( paywall free https://archive.is/AhJS0 ) o...

  I love F-Droid. I love what F-Droid stands for and I like the freedom that it gives its users. As a FOSS app maintainer I also have nothing but good things to say about the people behind the project. Maybe they’re even a bit too nice, considering how many times repro has failed due to me forgetting to commit before building 😅. But my god is it hard to find human-written software now. How much on F-Droid is LLM generated? https://tintotint.eu/whacky-corner/f-droid_slop/
