zingababba··on Trying two dozen different psychedelics
Lol dude, lets hang out some time.
zingababba··on America is bracing for political violence – and significant portion think its OK
My bad bro.
zingababba··on America is bracing for political violence – and significant portion think its OK
I don't even know what you are talking about so no. And also if it's happening why do I even need to make the equivalence, I'm sure you're right. It's happening, that's the point I was trying to make. The extremes are now the norm and in the open. Both sides are equally to blame.
zingababba··on America is bracing for political violence – and significant portion think its OK
Well the extremes are quickly becoming the norm on both sides. Fuentes is making the rounds, just recently on Tucker's podcast. The talking points on the right are increasingly becoming that the left needs to be absolutely crushed. Mayors/governors arrested, etc. The idea that Trump is being nowhere near extreme enough is very much being discussed openly. Pundits are all decrying the immanence of civil war. If you go deep right you find communities are VERY actively prepping and gathering like-minded individuals together.

The left meanwhile is busy attempting to cover up massive fraud under their watch (Minnesota,) voting in self-proclaimed socialists or those who vow allegiance to other countries entirely and shutting down any conversation that does not maintain their simulacrum. If you go deep left you find communities are gleefully celebrating the murder of their opponents and are also actively buying arms (often for the first time in their lives.)

Meanwhile the middle is getting slammed by layoffs.

zingababba··on I analyzed 180M jobs to see what jobs AI is replacing today
People are sleeping on AI in sec, lots of lazy sec engs and architects going to be SoL sooner rather than later.

zingababba··on Artificial Writing and Automated Detection [pdf]
Mmmm yes, I probably will never be able to find it again but someone recently tested a lot of these out and found you could bypass them easily by changing a few words around.
zingababba··on MCP-Scanner – Scan MCP Servers for vulnerabilities

zingababba··on YouTube Just Ate TV. It's Only Getting Started
For me personally piracy made a comeback when everyone memory-holed "The Speech" episode from IT Crowd. I had even paid for it on a separate platform when Amazon removed it, only to find the platform I paid for it on removed it also. Say what you will about Graham Lineham, I still think it's one of the funniest IT crowd episodes, on par with "The Work Outing". I'd rather not have media I personally enjoy rug-pulled from me in this manner.

zingababba··on Counter-Strike's player economy is in a freefall
I play on and off. It's crazy hearing people talk about how they've spend thousands on a skin.
zingababba··on André Gorz predicted the revolt against meaningless work (2023)
Who is considered 'useless' though?
zingababba··on F5 says hackers stole undisclosed BIG-IP flaws, source code
The NCC attestation letter is wild:

F5, Inc. (“F5”) engaged NCC Group to perform (i) a security assessment of critical F5 software source code, including critical software components of the BIG-IP product, as provided by F5, and (ii) a review of portions of the software development build pipeline related to the same, and designated as critical by F5 (collectively, the “In-Scope Items”). NCC Group’s assessment included a source code security review by 76 consultants over a total of 551 person-days of effort.

Wonder what the bill was?

zingababba··on I'm turning 41, but I don't feel like celebrating
Awwww, so cute. Here's a cookie.

I don't know how anyone sits through ten minutes of Lex speaking let alone multiple hours.

I've skipped all the other past smart home trends, I think I'll skip this one too. I'll just do the dishes and laundry myself like I always have no biggie.
zingababba··on Red Hat confirms security incident after hackers breach GitLab instance
Yes, I've been in fortune 100 IT security for awhile now. When it comes to passing audits its a shit ton of misdirection.

Also, here is some more information about this breach: https://x.com/intcyberdigest/status/1973422846396473765

zingababba··on Fossabot: AI code review for Dependabot/Renovate on breaking changes and impacts
GitHub hasn't done anything interesting with dependabot or code scanning for awhile.

zingababba··on AI Startup Founders Tout a Winning Formula–No Booze, No Sleep, No Fun
Lol, what. Calm down bud, do some breathwork.
zingababba··on Several people fired after clampdown on speech over Charlie Kirk shooting
I mean, if a surgeon for instance was posting something like "Glad he died" on social media I'm not sure that would indicate whether or not they could do their job properly. However I'd still consider that individual to be slightly unhinged for posting something like that. Personally I think social media is almost entirely opinion policing garbage and engaging with it 'unironically' is a low IQ indicator but whatever.

You sound like a grifter.

zingababba··on The Job Market Is Hell
Wow thanks, didn't know about this.
zingababba··on OpenAI eats jobs, then offers to help you find a new one at Walmart
The OpenAI blog post seems equal parts desperate and gross to me. A jobs platform and certifications? They want act as the certifying body attesting that 10 million Americans have achieved 'AI fluency' by 2030 as well as act as the intermediary in matching these individuals up with corporations apparently desperate for their fluency?

"Jobs will look different, companies will have to adapt, and all of us—from shift workers to CEOs—will have to learn how to work in new ways." - Thank god for OpenAI.

This whole thing looks like someone wrote it up, pasted it in an AI, asked "How's this look?" and got back something like "Looks absolutely perfect!" and hit publish.

zingababba··on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline
I just decided to take a break from LLMs for coding assistance a couple days ago. Feels really good. It's funny how fast I am when I just understand the code myself instead of not understanding it and proooompting.
zingababba··on AI Bubble 2027
Lol, basically. I do enjoy his consistent doomerism though, even if it's just for a laugh.
