Plague Poems

My friend
who studies viruses
says we are in
an epidemiological crisis.

My friend
who studies computers
says we are in
an epistemological crisis.

So I asked
my friend
who studies history
which it is
and after a moment
she said: yes.

Don't go looking for this guy - for your own sake. He's probably not real and he wants to convert you to fascism. It's a waste of time and energy. I share his toots so you can see how this works.

Had a reply guy (possible bot) on here try to get me with a fascist talking point that really makes my blood boil.

PSA: if someone is trying to convince you that democracies are bad and what you really want is a 'republic', that's a fascist.

Republics and democracies are not mutually exclusive.

Made a post on Tumblr about this, 'cause I see this shit way too much these days: tumblr.com/rhube/8128056921876

- major web service providers generally sign agreements with their largest customers to provide "five nines" of uptime: 99.999%.

- Github, one of the most important pieces of infrastructure for computer programming in general, has been getting increasingly unstable over the last several months.

- Github's own official downtime tracker is extremely, uh, conservative, because the more they officially acknowledge as downtime, the more trouble they're in with major customers. But even by their rosiest estimates, they've lost several nines

- This third party tracker concludes that Github has dropped below 90%, that is to say, to zero nines, for the last 90 days. Note that this is counting any big observable problem as downtime, even if the entire site isn't completely dead.

Anthropic: We have PLEASE and IGNORE *baked into our source-code* because we have no fucking idea how this thing works

MikroTik is on the fediverse, and they posted an AI slop image as a cute photo.

(If it isn't slop, then that's the weirdest rack shelf I've ever seen.)

So Anthropic employees are using Claude Code to contribute AI-generated code to open source repositories and hiding the fact using their own internal “undercover mode”.

Totally trustworthy people.
