DuckDuckGo, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT's web search, Ecosia, and Qwant all stopped working this morning because of Bing API. 😂 And they want Microsoft Copilot deeply integrated with Windows OS. Imagine someone is unable to book emergency medical appointments because Microsoft Copilot is down or you can't withdraw money or transfer funds through netbanking because AI and screenshot services are down. This is a good example of why we must not trust someone like Microsoft for anything serious.

DrupalCon Portland will likely be remembered for the #drupal Starshot announcement from @dries. Now that I (and others) have had a few days to think about what it means, I have some thoughts:

"Just use Linux" is much like "just ride a bike" or "just shop at a refill store" - accessing the non default option can be time consuming, expensive or unavailable locally. We need to recognise you need a certain degree of privilege to have the capacity to complicate your life voluntarily. We need to be trying to make the better, harder thing more accessible, not blaming people for not using it.

"The use of probabilistic techniques to determine who is worthy of death – wherever they’re used – is, to me, the most chilling example of the serious dangers of the current centralized AI industry ecosystem, and of the very material risks of believing the bombastic claims of intelligence and accuracy that are used to market these inaccurate systems."

Probably not a bad time to encourage you all to register for a postal vote. You never know when you might be sick / hit by a bus / on holiday.

The moment “Things can only get better” kicked in Sunak had a look ij his eyes I’ve seen a million times over my career: the moment a comedian realises they’re dying, that what was supposed to be the easy gig has got away from them with no way back and their confidence has gone. All you can do then is go through the motions and do your time

Personal theory: LLMs deliver all of the enthusiasm of a 7-year old breathlessly describing a stegosaurus while less than the guaranteed accuracy of the same.

Ask me a question and I'll mansplain an answer to you, while consuming much less water and energy.

I asked my small biz customers to pay by check or e-check and many actually have! I have to invoice them separately so it’s tedious but the real ones are down. well, the real ones plus the lady from Texas who told me she was happy to start getting in the habit of paying for things by check due to the 15 minute city people eventually using credit cards to shut down commerce from longer distances 🤗

If you're in the #drupal community, you probably know this to be true, but here's a couple of data points as well as some action items to get things going in the right direction:

Not linking directly because I don't want to shit on projects I believe are genuinely trying to make the web better, but every time I see a post about "the small web" or a more "humane" web or whatever that includes phrases like this about content: "created without the motivation of financial gain" I sigh so deeply lol

I am begging ethical web enthusiasts to understand what an extreme privilege it is to spend time working on something without worrying about money

For some reason, what3words, and how crap it is, popped into my head, so I had to check and see if “misheard.plural.location” was in their location database.
It was so much better than I expected.

Of all the things I have seen “die” in programming since I started in 1998, the one I lament the most is the death of education and training. The grifters cashed in via scummy bootcamps and ripoff courses. Now search has been ruined for quarterly profits and folks are blindly trusting ChatGepetto to give them correct answers. It’s a fucking mess and the people who need to care won’t because they are contemptuous of us all.
