Great article by @geekybodhi about the privacy dangers of AI Powered Browsers.

"At first glance, these features read like useful convenience upgrades. But beneath the sales pitch, digital-rights and privacy experts see something else taking shape. They warn that AI-native browsers could reshape the internet’s architecture, weaken privacy protections, and hollow out the open web."

I'm being bombarded with this again today and I've had enough so please forgive me some yelling.

THERE IS NO WAY TO USE AI ETHCALLY.

(Regarding, of course, the most popular uses of the term 'AI' today.) Stop saying you're using it 'ethically' or 'responsibly'. There is no such thing. It is built on massive theft, the undermining of humanity, and the willingness to give up food security, among other major issues. Stop pretending. Stop trying to force others to use it. Just fucking stop! The only way you're using it 'ethically' is if your ethics are bad.

And no, I don't give a shit how you want to reply to this, whine your way out, or excuse yourself as some shining exception.

What? You're using #AI to write your posts? And here I am using my own brain, like a sucker.

Me, a sucker because I didn't use AI to write this. @HadasWeiss

Kimi Linear: An Expressive, Efficient Attention Architecture

A great new piece by Anil Dash ( @anildash) on the *shitshow* (my words) that is OpenAI's Atlas, and the dangers of anti-web technology in general:

https://www.anildash.com//2025/10/22/atlas-anti-web-browser/

I disagree with him, however, and fundamentally, about CLIs, but that is the *only* part of his piece I feel he gets wrong. I think he either doesn't like them (ie. a subjective taste thing) or simply doesn't understand their capabilities and culture enough. That is not uncommon, and its perfectly ok. He's a brilliant thinker and writer and we're lucky to have him crafting and sharing his essays with us so often!

On a related note, I've been privately sketching out some pieces about the power and pleasure and idealism of CLIs for several years, mostly as private WIPs. Seeing Mr. Dash get CLIs so wrong (cue the obligatory XKCD about seeing someone being wrong on the Internet -- the worst sin to a hyper-geek) has pushed me over the edge into deciding I should polish something up and share it too. About Terminals, CLIs, shells, REPLs, APIs and TUIs in general. I've been using them daily -- and building things out of them, and shipping -- for several decades. Ditto on GUIs. So... I have *thoughts* on it. 😄 Backed by loads of observation and hands-on experiences.

I got a new phone and I clearly need to disable the Google AI "helper" that is tied to search. @pluralistic has written about #enshittification, and #AI is going to enshittify things faster than ever.

I asked Google to give me the time around the nurburgring for an Audi S6 e-tron. And I got the following response, which is mind-blowing since I drive the damn car.

OpenAI apparently burned through $11.5 billion last quarter. Luckily, their sugar daddy Microsoft made $27 billion to cover the tab.

When someone cites something from an "AI" chatbot as a fact, point them to this site:
