Everybody's Lost Their Minds
A pretty great rant about all things AI.
Felony Bench
Site that tracks questionable behaviour, or at least claims of questionable behaviour, by LLMs/agents.
LLMs reward expertise
Too many people who are pushing for LLMs and agents in a business environment seem to fail to understand that you can't replace expertise with them.
I feel many organisations will find this out too late.
AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decision-Making — Ludicity
I feel this so much. I wish the people who need to read this would read this.
Honesty gets Emacs patch rejected
The FSF, in effect, do what the FSF is there to do: defend the copyright of GNU Emacs. Meanwhile someone attempts to contribute a patch written by a large language model, and seemingly gets offended that it's rejected. I think the worst part about it is they seem to think that being honest about using an LLM should let their contribution in.
LinguaCelta: The Community is the Achievement; the Achievement is the Community
An article on how community is one of the important properties of where tech has taken us, and the threat that AI poses to this.
The LLMentalist Effect: how chat-based Large Language Models replicate the mechanisms of a psychic's con
An article in which the author talks about the con played by psychics, and how large language models pretty much do exactly the same thing.
The Jqwik Anti-AI Affair
The Jqwik author's perspective on their Markdown-based "malware".
AI Agents Enable Adaptive Computer Worms
Paper about agents enabling worms.
Potentially Useful | Hating AI in 2026
Kind of hard to argue with the content of this.
The Eternal Sloptember
This post more or less reads like how I feel. The author seems to have had more problems with the generated code than I have, possibly, but I know where they're coming from and feel the same sense of concern.
Is AI Profitable Yet?
I mean, for Nvidia, I guess?
LM Studio - Local AI on your computer
Tool for installing and managing local models. Might be worth a look.
tokenspeed — feel LLM tokens-per-second
Emulator to get a feel what N tokens/sec really feels like.
Slop Cop
Does your writing look like it was done by an LLM?
Does Gas Town 'steal' usage from users' LLM credits & paid services to improve itself? · Issue #3649 · gastownhall/gastown
AI eating itself... kindof hilarious.
Is Your Site Agent-Ready?
This looks daft at best, useless at worst. But I'm keeping it around because I know it will be something that's useful to demonstrate a point eventually.
The AI Great Leap Forward
Seeing AI rolled out in some places, with all the emphasis on adoption and use and zero talk of measuring results, and how this really concerns me and what might come of it... this reall hit home.
Was the Iran War Caused by AI Psychosis? | House of Saud
Is the current state of the US government, and its war on Iran, down to use and abuse of AI?
Lzon.ca. A personal blog, by a programmer and IT expert.
Interesting wander through one person's experience of the early days of modern AI.
TeamPCP Supply Chain Campaign | Attack Timeline & IOCs
So this is... horrible.
MCP Vulnerabilities Every Developer Should Know - Composio
I've not really got into the whole MCP thing yet. I know it's a thing, I just haven't really paid proper attention to it. This feels like a thing I should file away for future reference.
Markdown, llms.txt and AI crawlers
I'm seeing the rise of a "serve Markdown when asked" and "you need llms.txt" movement, driven by the idea that LLMs/AI is the new source of visits. While there might be some merit to this idea, what does seem to be interesting is that the facts of what's happening when you provide those things don't seem to match the claims.
No right to relicense this project · Issue #327 · chardet/chardet
Well this is a whole furball of legal and AI issues. I think the thing that gets me here is the apparent motives of the current maint'. It doesn't matter how you cut it with the legal side of things, what they've done, for me, is a real ethical issue.

A paper that asks the question: does AGENTS.md make any difference?
The consequences of outsourcing thinking | Neil Sainsbury
Yet another post about the impact of the use of "AI" on our ability to learn and do things. It was hard not to nod along to this one too.
Outsourcing thinking – Erik Johannes Husom
A pretty good post going over the issues of relying on LLMs. I found myself nodding to a large part of this.
