Wendy's puts in the very first sentence of their advergame's steam page that it's made by human artists. WENDY'S. Do you have at least as much praxis as a fast food corporation?

We're going to the Assiniboine Zoo this morning, so I checked their rules to see if I could bring in a water bottle. This is the section on visitor behaviour.

I saw someone reply to a slop email: ai;dr

I love it. Lets normalize ignoring all slop

Why don't we meet in the middle and call it superficial intelligence

Just look at the outpouring of love and respect for Patrick Stewart and compare him with the mediocre men at the head of the tech industry, sitting alone in their castles made of money and algorithms. How jealous they must feel, longing for the genuine affection they will never get, the popularity earned and not bought, the love they will never understand.

okay, so here's what I'm thinking right now:

1) we, people who like things to have some reasonable baseline amount of safety in our everyday tools, have been complaining for years that VS Code's plugin model is absurdly unsafe and an absolute open sewer; Microsoft shrugs and says it's the user's responsibility to only install reliable plugins

2) as foretold by the prophecy, a major plugin from a major company is compromised and begins pushing shell scripts to automatically install ssh backdoors, which is a thing VS Code plugins can do despite being fucking JAVASCRIPT PLUGINS for a TEXT EDITOR

3) within hours, Binance, the exact sort of company that would be using Claude for daily programming tasks, suffers a massive compromise through a devops laptop and literally billions of dollars in cryptocoins are funneled into the North Korean war chest, the largest heist in history. (We don't know for *sure* at the moment that these are connected, but they sure sound pretty likely to be connected.)

Microsoft, what exactly are you planning to do about your share of responsibility for this catastrophe?

So someone pwned the Anthropic Claude VSCode extension, deployed the pwned version, and used *that* to pwn Binance for billions of dollars. Hey @davidgerard hope you brought enough booze for the weekend
