arkady2025-02-21Law Technology

Looks like it’s time to set aside that iPhone: the U.K. has demanded that Apple compromise iCloud backup encryption. And Apple just announced that they will comply. Now, in theory, the way they’ve said they’ll comply will only affect users…

No More Kings: A Civics Lesson For The Treasonous

arkady2025-02-20Culture Law

I’ve said it here before: you literally cannot get more Un-American than caring about the King or Queen of England. But trying to be a King of America comes a very close second. This is very well established, historically if…

You Should Read This: The Generative AI Con

arkady2025-02-19Culture Read This Technology

I’ve made no secret here of my, let’s say disdain, for all the generative A.I. hype. Ed Zitron (at Where’s Your Ed At) is also no fan, which is very clear in his latest post: The Generative AI Con. We…

American Kakistrocracy: Rule By Plausible-Sounding Bullshit Generators

arkady2025-02-12Culture Law Politics Technology

The Minions taking over the U.S. government have been connecting a Large Language Model (LLM), referred to as an “A.I.” by people who don’t know what words mean, to various government databases. This is truly History’s Stupidest Coup. I have…

Doubleplus Ungood: Duckspeak From The Upfuckers

arkady2025-02-11Culture Politics

Of course they’ve put out a forbidden words list. Several, actually. That link up there is about the NSF list, but the NSA has a different one; I don’t think anyone’s made a list of lists yet, but I’ve seen…
