Publish and perish!

oneshotted, a term that means, roughly, to be destroyed and subsequently remade by a single experience.

Strikes me as incorrectly translated. The remaking is extremely optional, in fact that definition feels like defining blackpilling as being healed by vile propaganda.

Those bacteria better be so supreme they can’t even be killed with regular antibiotics

Yup. If their backups (if they even had any) were this available to a rando with a single ssh key, it’s lucky they got wiped by an insider threat instead of ransomware.

Another day, another company that hooked up the random text generator to production and lost their entire prod db and backups: https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/claude-powered-ai-coding-agent-deletes-entire-company-database-in-9-seconds-backups-zapped-after-cursor-tool-powered-by-anthropics-claude-goes-rogue

Cue the long drag (https://x.com/amyngyn/status/1072576388518043656)

But also, damn, the random text generator did not “go rogue”, it generated text, randomly!

Is there a more generalized form of “weird hill to die on but at least you’re dead”? Because a new-to-me way for too-rich people to end their gullible lives has emerged https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/30/1134780/r3-bio-brainless-human-clones-full-body-replacement-john-schloendorn-aging-longevity/

As a pal remarks, finally they found a novel way to use the blockchain for drugs.

A German writing Manifest Destiny fan fiction without any idea of the facts on the ground? We seem to have here a Karl May cosplayer.

It’s no comfort that an acquaintance who works at a slop company says they’d been doing that for years now. That surely makes it fine then.

I’ve never seen a more compelling reason to enforce strict and short retention rules for every corp communication medium, holy shit https://www.forbes.com/sites/annatong/2026/04/16/ais-new-training-data-your-old-work-slacks-and-emails/

 

Got the pointer to this from Allison Parrish who says it better than I could:

it's a very compelling paper, with a super clever methodology, and (i'm paraphrasing/extrapolating) shows that "alignment" strategies like RLHF only work to ensure that it never seems like a white person is saying something overtly racist, rather than addressing the actual prejudice baked into the model.

 

They have Nik Suresh (the author) on, as well as Robert Evans. I haven’t listened to it all yet, but it’s fun so far.

 

They invited that guy back. I do have to admit, I admire his inability to read a room.
