@jordanmorgan @mattiem he has a spectrum of views, the troubling ones are his ardent advocacy for deeply racist solutions. The tech ones are just your typical tech people passionate one way or another.

That is what I found off-putting when I started to read your blog. I just couldn’t make it past it.

While that is true and I've been pointing it out for over a decade myself, and personally stopped this after getting fed up with hitting "update" on a hosting platform...

Getting into something called #HomeLab recently has got me back enjoying this. The hashtag has an old style super helpful, knowledgeable community on here.

Self hosting can be fun! Or at least learning about the issues and how to solve them. I'm not sure I'll be hosting anything public but one day maybe...

I think I may dramatically underestimate how horny a lot of people are a lot of the time.

What we've all seen from higher oil prices and higher gas prices here in the US is that drivers will still pay the higher prices and continue to drive the way they always have. They love their death traps so much that even higher prices won't get them to drive less. If the war with Iran ever ends, why in the world would big oil and big gas lower prices?

3,50€ geht doch noch.

Da habe ich an einer Autobahnraststätte schon mal mehr bezahlt.

Complex software behaving in unexpected and sometimes harmful ways has been a persistent problem since software was invented. The phenomenon used to be called “bugs” or “defects”, but I guess “going rogue” sounds cooler. It also implicitly frames “rogue” behavior as some kind of inexplicable exception, as if software is somehow usually trustworthy. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/technology/openais-ai-us-government-websites.html?unlocked_article_code=1.EFE.RfLT.x6YBjHa1PMz6

“Our software went rogue!” No. You programmed it wrong.

“In order to be useful, my AI robots need unlimited capabilities, and have to be equipped to murder people.”

What? Huh? That’s just silly. Maybe find another line of work.

@lake I've definitely seen stray cable and splice boxes hanging all the way down to the sidewalk. It looks as if zero fucks are given and every provider does whatever the fuck they want.

also, I've only been to two other cities in Romania and they did not have this, so it may be a Bucharest-specific issue that they never invested in underground piping (and don't care enough to at least make it tidy like they do in Spain)

A subset (I want to believe a small minority) of people in the current AI industry seem to be part of some kind of wacky AI death cult, driven by a bizarre belief in a mission to create uncontrollable agents of a technological apocalypse.

And then there are the rest of us, who retain the capacity to understand that all this is just computers and software, whether you dress it up as “AI” or not.

Similarly I saw my first wild mantis last week and got excited because that's a cool bug, but then looked it up and it was a European mantis. There are smaller native mantises here, I hope I see some eventually...

@thomasfuchs i really miss the 16 color artwork from back then.

I should note that the linguistic trickery here is in claiming that the software “went” rogue, as if that was an independent decision beyond human control. Software behavior might BE rogue, whether AI is involved or not. But, either way, it lacks the inherent agency required to “go” rogue. Software does only what it was programmed to be able do, within the capabilities its configuration allows. That programming and configuration is where any roguery comes from.
