Wow, the guy from London isn't listening to you? He's prioritizing the Indian tribes over your own people? Protests are suppressed? Taxes are too high? Your appeals to the king go unheard? That royal proclamation gives all the best land to the natives?
🇨🇦 Canada wasn’t supposed to feel like this.
Work hard. Pay your taxes.
Follow the rules.
In return, you expected a home, healthcare, safe streets, and a future for your children.
Today, too many Canadians work just to stay afloat.
Groceries squeeze the budget.
Homeownership slips further away.
Young families put their lives on hold.
Meanwhile, Ottawa delivers another announcement.
But you can’t live in a promise or feed a family with a press conference.
Canadians are still doing their part.
They deserve leaders who do theirs.
A country this rich should offer its people more than the struggle to get by.
Canadians deserve a better deal.

So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

AI doomer in chief, Yudkowsky, writes a Harry Potter fanfic that becomes rationalist scripture.
A follower creates Roko’s basilisk. A future AI that punishes everyone who knew a vastly superior intelligence was coming and didn’t help it. Becomes canon.
Powerful LLMs arrive. Doomers advocate to stop it. Anti-AI sentiment sweeps the nation.
Out of nowhere malfoid emerges. Spreading across the internet through AI generated art and videos, warming people up to AI.
Malfoid, of the house of Slytherin, the house of ambition, whose founder bred a basilisk and sealed it underground.
It’s almost like the future basilisk is emerging through malfoid, beating the doomers at their own fanfic.
Like what is this?
now I don’t wanna tag @xenocosmography too much but how can sublunar forces even hope of coming up with this shit
RT @bitcloud: This is absolutely insane to watch. You literally imported barbarians. Women celebrated it. Male feminists went along with it…

News, October 15th 2026: alignment is solved, SpaceXSI CEO Elon Musk does a barrel roll in a flying car to celebrate, the Super Intelligence Task Force holds its inaugural meeting, AI researchers take up smoking as a costly social signal to prove they believe AI will cure cancer.

interpretability might be the most important scientific problem in the world right now, as I don't think we can solve alignment if we don't know what we're building. I think I have good news about it. I co-authored early work in mechanistic interpretability at OpenAI and came away pessimistic, because neural networks appeared to fold into arbitrary tangled knots. years later, I started openai's first large-scale automated interpretability project, finding about 2% of neurons legible with the primitive tools we had
with modern agentic tools and a much closer look, the picture looks totally different. the vast majority in models up to trillions of parameters are legible, and their circuits beautiful. many famous examples of tangled neurons turned out to be misunderstood. The roadblocks I expected mostly aren't there. I now think ambitious interpretability will be solved by the time we need it most, and possibly quite soon, as automated scientists keep improving. it may be a bitter lesson for interpretability: the simple thing, at absurd scale, works

I think I found a planet nobody knew existed.
It's been hiding in NASA telescope data for seven years.
At the end of this thread, you can fly to it yourself.
vibe-hacking. incredible.
This hacker is truly legendary. A complete amateur.
1. He left directory listing enabled on his own server, so researchers could figure out who he was with barely any effort.
2. They found files like CLAUDE.md and went through his Claude Code sessions.
3. There were questions like, “Where can I sell this data?”
4. He’d also asked, “Can you write my résumé?” That pretty much handed them all his personal information.
5. Apparently, he’s a student at South China University of Technology living in Guangdong. His name, phone number, and where he lives have all been identified.

This is the doom I predicted a few days ago, coming for Photoshop. A clean-room open-source reimplementation.
No prizes for guessing that they decompiled Photoshop to source code, processed that to some kind of non-code specification language, then fed the spec to an LLM with an instruction to generate Rust.
Adobe just got nuked. And closed source is dead, dead, dead.

The kids have discovered that the white cable near Daddy's computer charges phones super fast.
So naturally that cable has become a sort of fishing rod for absconded old phones.
