If "Copilot is for entertainment purposes only" (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot/for-individuals/termsofuse) then will HMRC require UK employers giving their workers Copilot subscriptions to treat it as a P11D taxable benefit in kind?
It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one’s acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis.
Executive Summary This article analyses a supply chain attack from last week, dubbed "SANDWORM_MODE", initially described by Socket.
AmIaTechBro? 18 statements. Just agree or disagree.
A couple of weeks ago, we noticed something odd on Suga. New users were signing up but not doing anything, they weren’t creating an org, a project, or a deployment, they just left an account sitting there.
Passing thought on the Claude code leak, and how messy and wasteful the code apparently is (as many of us suspected):
There’s been a lot of focus on the energy & environmental costs of running LLMs. There are also energy & environmental costs to deploying LLM-generated code.
Similarly, there’s a lot of focus on the kickbacks cloud vendors who fund AI get from LLMs renting their servers. There may be a similar kickback from computationally inefficient LLM-generated software renting their servers.

There is a little-known far-right political party registered in Scotland, with politics similar to Reform. It doesn’t really operate as a party. It seeks no publicity, delivers no leaflets, does no canvassing. It lies low and does zero campaigning, avoiding attention, hoping not to be noticed … until polling day.
Its plan is that on polling day, voters quickly scanning down the list of parties will put their cross against one that superficially looks like the Greens. (1/4)
For the last two years, technologists have ominously predicted that AI coding agents will be responsible for a deluge of security vulnerabilities. They were right! Just, not for the reasons they thought.
This country’s a dump. I don’t mean that metaphorically. I mean it literally.
You must imagine Sam Altman holding a knife to Tim Berners-Lee's throat. It's not a pleasant image. Sir Tim is, rightly, revered as the genial father of the World Wide Web.
Walk into my lab and the first thing you'll notice is the dots. The walls are lined with clear boxes, each one labeled, dated, and covered in dot stickers. Some boxes are buried in dots of every color.

- Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile
- people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend
- now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source
What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???
