A few dozen companies, some of them Fortune 500s, are among those that executed proof-of-concept code. At least one misconfigured site is directing visitors, human or AI, to live malware.

> The potentially dangerous content is in llms.txt and llms-full.txt files, an emerging convention websites employ to provide machine-readable summaries of the site’s content and its high-level structure. These files are the AI equivalent of the robots.txt standard that instructs search engines how to index the site’s content. Google Lighthouse, a tool for helping web developers, has more here.

Techbros losing their minds after talking to ChatGPT/Cluade is a sight to behold.

Dear producers, if you don't want to be too "ripped from the headlines," make a movie about this guy instead. We'll all get the parallel, I promise

The administration has terminated or moved to terminate TPS for more than a million of the 1.3 million people who held it. Six countries still have a designation, two only because a court said so.

The game is rigged.

@brooke I mean, at this point, it buys like, 5 peanuts.

"The Boat Strikes (in the Caribbean) by the Trump Administration Aren’t Part of a War. They’re Murder. War crimes are violations of the law of armed conflict. By contrast, the boat strikes conducted by the U.S. military are extrajudicial killings. That is, they are deliberate killings that are outside the law. That means murder under domestic criminal statutes, and now likely crimes against humanity under international law":

#Spotted on a Rainy Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A man (80s?) in a neat suit and a green beanie is walking across a car park as rain starts to fall.
A woman (40s?) hollers from her car window: "D'you need a brolly? We've got an old one here. You can have it. It's not a problem."
He says: "If that's okay? Don't want to catch a cold!"

A tiny human (2?) is marching down the footpath with a fist full of daffodils. Holding them out in front of her like a magnificent talisman to ward off the grey of the day.

A teen (18?) is sitting across from Mum in a cafe. Rain hitting the window next to them as they talk softly in German. Mum buttering their scones as he pours their tea.

A teen (14?) waiting for Mum at a Daffodil Day Stand, says at MAXIMUM volume: "Hey, if they have daffodil day for all cancer, do they have, like, donut day for bum cancer?"
Daffodil Day Volunteer bursts into great peals of laughter.
Teen says to Mum: "What?! It's LOGICAL! EVERYONE loves donuts!"

Two cafe workers are leaning against the counter facing each other during a quiet moment. Sipping coffee from big mugs. Sharing plans for the coming weekend. Laughter and smiles as the rain pours outside.

Yummy memories. Not sure if that’s still how they do it, but that was how Camellia Grill in New Orleans made their potato omelets (minus the harissa). They made them with flair on the big grill. And yes, there were more fries on the side!

This is a threatening development.

I say this with love, even though it's going to sound a lot like hate.

They desperately need a short and sharable description of the problem for people who aren't leftists and don't like leftists.

You know, something that points out why this this a bad thing for everyone, yada yada yada.

That blog post isn't sympathetic at all if you aren't another leftist.
