Combining two ideas from my feed.

First there is the account of @pluralistic on how AI are the perfect bullshit machines and spit out hard code bugs. This is especially true when forced upon people (the reverse-centaurs).

Second, an old account on how improper use of image compression algorithms in Xerox scans lied about numbers, at scale.

These two things are related, and someone will take the fall for failure.

🥳 New Kitten Release

• Fixed regression: Since we switched the h() render function to return a generator (for seamless async support in html templates), two other methods that were calling h() directly – kitten.safelyAddHtml() and kitten.js() – had begun to fail. This was also affecting the fetchiverse, streamiverse, and kitten-chat family of examples.

Enjoy!

(Run kitten update to immediately install the latest version on your development machines. Your production machines will automatically update in the next few hours.)
