I fully expect Israel to throw their entire political weight into trying to get the rule changed, then rage quit before the next contest as they can't spend a few million to try and get a major international event on the cheap for propaganda reasons.

The next time anyone says 'you can't tax the rich, they will leave!' just point at JK Rowling's ongoing attacks on vulnerable communities and weaponisation of the courts against charities and then ask them if they think any one person having that level of influence in a nation is really a good thing.
If someone attended a birthday party and started eating everything, unwrapping and stealing gifts, bullying other people and making threats to anyone who said no, you'd ask them to leave, buying an electric car company or writing child cop wizard books doesn't exempt them from playing nice with others.

So, dear reader, the real hacks in the recent Anthropic and openAI containment breach stories were the journalists covering them unquestioningly all along.

Watching right wingers who've been calling LGBTQ+ people groomers and p*dophiles rally around the Tate brothers, who have years of content about how to groom underage women for sexual exploitation, and tailor their content to groom angry teenage boys, sure is a thing.
They believe in nothing but obtaining power.

Imagine being in charge of.a project where a million small, but vital things are mintained by unpaid volunteers who are often neurodivergent, LGBTQ+ or both and thinking 'yeah, I'll open the door for people who are making their lives worse and let them add slop to the project that will make the tasks they do voluntarily so much harder, and if they complain, I'll tap the 'Capital G Gamers' sign to show the SJWs whose side I am on! That'll show them!'

They were against exploitation, ultimately,, and that gets ignored entirely by the culture because history is written by the victors. Fortunately as more and more people find themselves staring at the child crushing engines of the present day, they're beginning to actually look back at the luddites and realise they have a point...
Naturally the AI bros are horrified by this as their favourite insult is losing it's sting, and are pushing the only way they can, writing long, angry substacks about how the luddites were bad actually, exploitation of workers and children downplayed or ignored entirely.

'The progress was worth all the crushed children who found themselves unwillingly shoved I to the workforce to replaces skilled craftsmen because the machines couldn't do every job! Think of how much richer the people who were already rich enough to build factories became!'

https://www.geekwire.com/2026/microsoft-announces-2-5b-frontier-company-to-embed-ai-engineers-inside-customers/ you know when a dying, virus infected cell starts to bulge before the membrane splits, releasing more virii to go infect other cells? We're at that stage with AI now, first with anthropic sending out kids to act like Mormon missionaries, now this.

I was going to jokingly suggest someone make a tech startup dedicated to doing for keycaps and switches what AI and Crypto did to graphics cards and RAM, then I remembered the techie bumholes buying vintage tech to 'salvage' the vintage keyswitches from working retro computers and keyboards. They're already ruining things without my help.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/jun/03/martin-scorsese-accused-of-throwing-artists-under-bus-with-ai-storyboards Amazing how rich people who don't have to worry about losing their livelihoods continue not to value the contributions of people whose work they cannot do like storyboard and VFX artists, and view them as entirely replaceable cogs in the machine to produce 'their vision'.

The machine can't 'get it wrong' when you view civilian casualties as a bonus and as part of your wider goal. All the machine does is provide a figleaf to help give people who want to make excuses for genocide something to glom onto and point at when they claim the deaths weren't an intentional choice just down to flawed tech.
Who made and sold the tech to kill people knowing it was flawed?
Who knowingly deployed the tech to kill people knowing it was flawed?
Doesn't matter, it was the tech's fault, no further action needed. No blood on anyone's hands, just that bad AI again. Nothing to be done.

I think this says all anyone needs to know about Mike Masnick. 'I don't code, I haven't coded in a long time, but I'm learning so much from what the plagiarism box tells me... Isn't that a skill? I completely get coding now.'

I kind of suspect the loud voices frustrated at Mastodon and declaring it dead or an echo chamber are doing so because they cannot find a way to rig the system in their favour or at to win like Twitter.

A platform's success is now measured by the tech press in terms of exponential growth only. If you don't double or quadruple in size every year, you're doomed, dying or already dead. Stable isn't enough, even for things not designed to be for profit.

Centralising everything for convenience was a horrendous mistake and led to large chunks ofnthe web endinf up the fiefdoms of absolute sociopaths like Dorsey, Spez, Zuckerberg and the willing funder of Nazis over at Substack. Why should anyone visit a site when every update is on Twitter first and all community discussion buried on discord and reddit?
I want a decentralised livejournal, complete with goat mascot and the ability to make my page funky pastel colours, damnit!

Remember when Brave mysteriously started integrating the alt right wiki Infogalactic into their search options? I wonder who at Brave would have pushed such a thing..?
