Tomorrow! In Toronto! Come see @nprofile1q... and I talk at Open World Map (part of the Toronto Games Week) about how @nprofile1q... uses game development and game jams to advance network freedom! https://luma.com/8nvmyatm

And a whole bunch of other awesome speakers as well! It's no cost to attend so register and come hang out with us!

Someone's AI agent has been performing a wide variety of manipulation to the project for a while to the Fedora project. https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1077035/c7e7c14fbd60fae9/

It's clearly linked to an account that precedes the, ahem, "agentic AI era", but it also seems the account wwas probably compromised, but everything is unclear, including motivations or the extent of damage.

Oh remember when I made a blogpost speculating about an "AI worm" which would use the credentials it found on each machine to pay for itself and would mutate each time it changed? https://dustycloud.org/blog/the-first-ai-agent-worm-is-months-away-if-that/

Yeah so a research lab tried that and uh, it was a "spectacular success". They're very assuring that "don't worry it didn't break containment" but holy damn it worked well, it infiltrated systems incredibly well and changed itself and scanned networks for known vulnerabilities and wrote new ones as it spread https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.03811

My current video game is currently Blender's Geometry Nodes. Hard game to get into initially but now I can't stop thinking about it and want to keep playing it. I can't stop thinking about strats.

I miss when corporations covered their products in rainbows and sparkles because of a half hearted gesture towards pride month instead of because they are throwing AI tooling nobody wants in my face

"Christine, you need to build your tech on a blockchain" - a bunch of people I ignored for a decade who now would never say that

- spinners
- bubble wrap
- bits of paper you tear up without thinking about it
- blender's geometry nodes
