Anyone surprised?

Evil has a name. It begins with 'G' and ends with 'oogle'.

Hopefully you folks don't share information that is or was critical to your business or family there. Big Brother may be watching. The name is also Google.

There is so much information you shared there, if you used it, that can be used for AI sniffing. This is the new future.

Canada has a border issue?

> The heat ray, officially known as the Active Denial System, is a nonlethal weapon that shoots an invisible beam of electromagnetic waves that can reach a little more than half a mile away, according to the US military.

Stun gun and electro shocks are also advertised as non-lethal. But the name is wrong; it should be called less-lethal at best.

But how do you guarantee that LLMs do not lie?

> For people like me, this is just yet one more way LLMs are making my life materially worse.

AI skynet is killing humans. We know that already though.

> Even though this was found by “responsible security researchers” at “respectable companies”, by the time the security patch actually got released, it was already being exploited in the wild.

I am really not pleased with the "let's delay" strategy. IMO, you should without any delay, let everyone know of security-related issues. This "try to keep it hidden so that malicious actors can not exploit" is incredibly unfair to everyone else. Why would I want to support that? I want to know the exploit, I want it explained and then, in that order, I also expect that it can be fixed eventually. This closed-source thinking is very annoying. If one LLM can find an exploit, so can others, so what's with the delay?

USA won't extradite their war criminals. Look how desperately Trump tries to fight down The Hague criminal court. They have a LOT of dirt to cover up here. I mean, just take the bombing of a school with girls in Iran - is that not a war crime? And that's just one of many more examples one could give; Trump denying data to Ukrainians via Starlink means he supports Putin's genocide.

The scarier thought is that the russian government did not even have to do that - agent Krasnov works for them as-is.

Europeans should not trust any of that team: it is a compromised government.

The irony is that Yuri explained this already in the 1980s:

It was a literal prediction of the KGB seizing power. Putin is from the KGB clique. Gorbachev really should have neutered the KGB totally.

You should make the case of Qatar corruption money having bought this ruling.

Qatar spends a lot of money to bribe european politicians - that is known for a long time now:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar_corruption_scandal_at_th...

And now we know why Qatar bribes everyone in the EU. They buy legislation. Or at the least rulings.

That's sad. France sold out to Qatar.

Shame on you, Macron. What a loser guy. Big words but these are just lies. We really need to no longer put our future into the hands of any politician here. Direct democracy is the only way forward past this point. Courts that work for foreign countries need to be removed. Courts must work, first and foremost, for the local people living in a country.

The more important question is why we should trust any "agent" that helps id you.

> otherwise banal articles

I don't think it is quite banal. The focus is on distance, with distance being local. There is IMO nothing banal about that. And the article linked in is minimal rather than banal. (Also good thing you did not forget the 'b' there.)

You can of course assume everything to have a manipulative focus, but I don't see it here.

It's an interesting idea. Personally I prefer information to not be restricted, but for those who are, for instance, not very mobile, having Wikipedia as a focus nearby, kind of makes sense. I am not sure how useful Wikipedia is, as a lot of information may be missing locally or not be up to date, but given how utter crap Google search is these days, any move towards improvements (including local things) is good. The internet was being ruined by the big corporations ruining the web for many years - it is time to fight back.

Then these "regulators" must be put in jail for treason.

Putin is committing his genocide to Ukrainians; Trump is siding with him. It is time to call those who weaken Europeans as enemies.

The sooner Europeans decouple themselves - including security, including a nuclear arsenal - from crazy Trump the better. In all aspects. Without exceptions.

Canadians understand this problem much better than many european politicians. In particular Merz is like a lame obedient duck here. And Macron too now, after failing the french population again and again. He had many years time to fix France and did not do so. That is deliberate failure.

Finally the web-services I needed are back, but boy was this annoying. I lost some time since things got pushed back - all because PHP was not written with security in mind. Yes, features matter too, ease of use, functionality but .... I don't know. I think you need to also put security on the same level of scrutiny; taking control over servers is a huge glaring issue. That simply should not be possible.

Hmmm.

The icons were distracting for weekdays, but I like icons in the top-menu usually. IMO the user should be able to decide on these things at all times.

I don't see how math applies here with regards to "per resident". Why would it matter how many residents are? What matters is how much wealth a company has in proportion.

If you fine a billionaire with a two dollars fine, this will have ... what impact exactly?

"The only way this penalty makes any sense is if you believe that the Cambridge Analytica scandal was the most heinous crime ever perpetrated by any company in U.S. history."

No, that's wrong. Fines are also in proportion to how much wealth the company has. You totally did not mention this in your post - I wonder why.

In my opinion, companies who incur such a high penalty, also need to put the corresponding CEOs in jail for some time. It can not be that they cause so much damage to society, but the CEOs constantly escape due punishment. This is unfair - every small criminal stealing a purse, typically gets put in jail (perhaps not on first offence, but we know how severe the punishments are on repeated offences). People who cause so much damage to society, also need to be penalised appropriately with jail time. But in a land that does not want to find out how deep the Epstein network really was, anything goes. The big TechBros get protected by the law; the fine here is just peanuts for the awful Facebok empire.

I have this slight suspicion this was not the last critical PHP apocalypse ... :(

Some web-services are back up again here in central Europe, but some are not, which is very annoying. Kind of surprising to see how much PHP is actually used. Hate it or love it, PHP really is very important still - lots of the web depends on it.

People kind of predicted this, didn't they?

I guess in a way it was unavoidable. Still sad though.

I miss many great companies of the 1990s.

I actually think it was more a pun on DHH - see the most recent criticism of this tech-bro preacher (Omarchy the new scientology for the modern age). Am I the only one who reads it like that, with regards to the page being poking fun at DHH?

I don't know when this AI-slop-page was slop-generated though. Perhaps it is old slop.

It looks flashy for AI slop gen!

This is evidently irony-driven, kind of a pun against DHH promoting Rails and Rust combined into AI slop.

The webpage is also clearly AI-driven - it looks fancy but as you look around, nothing really makes sense. Just scroll down: "The convention lives in the prose. The agent writes the code." - isn't that a verbatim quote from DHH?

Then you go there:

https://rustoffrails.org/how-it-was-built

And it says:

"This website Built by an agent following only the docs."

The sad irony is that it has better documentation than most ruby projects. :(

(Not all; some ruby folks like Jeremy, write useful documentation. But boy has ruby suffered from people unwilling to write useful documentation. I mean, look at rack; tell me it is well-documented please. Ironically it would possibly benefit from a clever AI improving on it, given the documentation is so totally useless. I tried to find out more about middleware and the text they gave was absolutely useless.)

Here is how this slop page was created:

https://rustoffrails.org/docs/generators/new

Well, a lot of text but the text is totally a waste of human time. AI skynet wastes human's time. Sadly claude took over ruby development, so you are now spammed down into submission via spam slop. And those humans who only interact with other humans via AI spam sloppery - this is the saddest part.

I think we have to admit finally: AI skynet is winning.

The webpage here is still fun, but I think it could be funnier still. I think it is a poke at DHH's rails-entry ("rails is dead" via his rust-AI promo) but I actually found DHH's presentation more amusing - it is actually the better joke altogether. The final post-mortem on ruby on rails.

Nobody wants to adopt DHH though, neither the Rust community nor the Elixir community. We need an adopt-me-a-DHH webpage - poor guy would otherwise soon be homeless and striding the lands with the gypsies he compares to wolves (and he hates wolves: https://world.hey.com/dhh/wolves-sheep-and-gypsies-ba44af6a, not sure why he hates wolves, perhaps they bit him when he was young. Must be tons of wolves in Copenhagen.)

So all local universities have now essentially shut down their web-services for students. This is ... kind of curious because now you can not download recent updates (e. g. new .pdf files published) from that software.

We need a long-term solution with regards to PHP. PHP is a success story - so much web-software depends on it. But it also has become a liability when they are all now scared that the server can be easily taken over. This is not acceptable, PHP.

The article is not good in some areas.

Yes, the initial claim that good software still has value, even if written by humans, is true - high quality is always nice to have.

But the author then states this:

"The fact that an LLM now writes the code does not mean any abstractions we made before are suddenly less important or less useful."

Now - here the author makes a mistake that assumingly LLMs would lend benefit to the important of HUMAN written high quality software. But this makes no sense. If AI is really viable and useful then it SHOULD NOT NEED humans anywhere. Nor SHOULD it matter how much OTHER software that is good, exists - if AI works well. Perhaps current AI depends on existing data but I would not be surprised if AI becomes good, eventually, that it really does not need humans in order to write high quality code. Perhaps AI is not there yet, perhaps it will take a while - but there is no practical reason as to why LLMs would need human-written code. That just does not compute here.

"When we build a product for people we should be focused on solving their actual problems rather than writing job queues and ORMs and I believe that still holds true for a situation where an LLM writes 100 percent of the code."

But ... why? If a LLM can write the software well, humans are not needed. LLMs write for the people already. AI skynet replaced the human.

"To get back to the decision of whether to let LLMs rewrite everything in Rust: in the end a person is responsible for the software and will have to explain the decisions being made."

DHH was exposed on twitter when he had AI write software and then he crisitized alternatives to what he autogenerated, e. g. "elixir sucks". Well, now everyone knows that DHH is not a good programmer; and even not a good businessman either. If you let AI write code you yourself can not write because of lack of skills, yet then use this to praise AI and critisize e. g. Elixir, without being able to refute the counter-arguments made by José and others then sorry - that's just a promo campaign DHH and the AI tech bros run here. Besides, it is also interesting how the author does not mention DHH at all - DHH literally announced the death of rails when he did his AI-Rust promo. That is a post-mortem on Rails - if I were to use rails, which thankfully I don't (yet ruby powers all my web-needs and has so for +21 years), I would be very worried, since rails is literally dead. People just don't want to admit to it. (Ruby also is sinking, which is unfortunate, but looking at the mistakes made by the ruby core team in the last +2 years, I am no longer surprised: see https://po-ru.com/2026/10/18/why-im-no-longer-updating-this-... and then look at the ruby core team, which is now officially called Mr. Claude)

> Having the patch probably makes creating an exploit easier. So the number of attacks would increase.

No matter the excuse, the security issue must be fixed. Anyone trying to delay this is not acting in good faith. I understand your rationale but that does not excuse you from being labelled as such too.

We should live in the age of open source AT ALL TIMES. No exceptions, for anyone, no matter the reasons. And that includes those who want to withhold code or patches.

I recently changed my mind here.

Why?

Because some upstream services here in central Europe, are closed down because of that PHP problem. So now I am annoyed since this disrupted my workflow.

PHP, please either get your act together - or disband.

I agree with the second paragraph. It seems as if some among the industry see a simple cash grab here.
