Life sciences has been hallucinating facts and theories for a while and it is only through experimentation we learn. AI will just connect plausible, probable, factually false and truth statements into a grand hallucination. Live your Myth in Fable

Wise words from Steve...
Also this is a big argument in the alternative. For technical reasons related to context limits and training data, none of this shit actually works well enough to replace software at any meaningful scale. To paraphrase @pluralistic by way of Jensen Huang: AI will not take your job. A boss using AI to fake their quarterly KPIs will take your job.

Unlike the raid on John Bolton, the targeting of Omar has elicited zero condemnation from NYT, WSJ, and Washington Post. https://theintercept.com/2026/10/15/ilhan-omar-raid-corporate-media-coverage
Thousands of student protesters clashed with riot police in Albania, partly over a luxury resort deal backed by Jared Kushner.
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama rejected calls to resign as protesters smashed windows and police fired tear gas and water cannons in Tirana for a third straight day. Protesters are angry about corruption, the cost and quality of education and a deal to sell off parts of Albania’s southern coastline for a Kushner-backed resort development. “Our prime minister is the meaning of the word corruption,” one student said. The resort has faced legal challenges, and Reuters reported that a man who sold land for the project was wanted on drug trafficking charges, though it found no evidence of wrongdoing by Kushner.
Parliament canceled its session as the violence spread.

Many people have shared this article about #AI and #cybersecurity, featured in CSO Online and written by (the amazing) Cynthia Brumfield (@metacurity).
Well, I'm posting it again, because it's a fantastic article that everybody in #infosec should read.

Anyone has a digital copy of The File Formats Handbook by Günter Born?
I have it physically, but it seems unavailable in a digital format.
My best friend's contractor didn't show for work yesterday.
Last night, his brother showed up and knocked on his door.
"My brother was picked up by ICE at his immigration hearing. When he called me, he told me to come to your house and finish the job." They gave him money and told him to go home.
My friend found a lawyer for the contractor last night, but as he said, "I'm not sure if I'm more shaken as an American or as a Jew."
We have to end this nightmare.
let me tell you, the president of the united states and all of his many surrogates attempting to strip me of congressional representation after failing to subjugate me under his fascist paramilitary force sure does make focusing on B2B SaaS difficult

I used to volunteer at (& very, very briefly was an executive director of) a nonprofit whose mission was to help girls & trans youth get into programming.
We were all-in on Apple products. We taught them Swift & used Xcode on MacBooks. The kids made iPhone games.
We gave demos on campus at Apple. Tim Cook shouted out the organization by name on stage.
Apple never gave us a single dollar. Not even an Apple Pencil or iPod touch.
But they spent $25,000,000 to kiss the ass of a wannabe dictator.
"The market is waking up to the fact that AI demand and a profitable business model are two very different things," said Axel Rudolph, chief technical analyst at IG Group.
A reminder for folks in the US, early voting has either already started or will start soon (for me it starts saturday the 17th) and it would be an excellent idea to go vote early if you can do that, due to the likelihood of shenanigans on election day.
Also handy for folks who, for reasons of work, can't reasonably make it to the polls on election day. Early voting often has no lines and is really quick, so if you don't have time on election day you probably have time before that.
Accenture telling their employees that they are restricted to $29/month on Claude Enterprise costs pairs interestingly with the news going around about how the expectation for Linux kernel maintainers is that they need to have access to top level AI tools if they expect to contribute

For all the talk of AI destroying the web I think we need to confront the fact that the financial underpinnings of the web have always been toxic, a delivery mechanism for unwanted or malicious code, data and experiences.
