One of the first things I had to do as a professional developer decades ago was figure out why a client’s homemade CMS was periodically losing all content.
Turns out the admin panel’s access check redirected guests away, but *did not terminate* itself. So a web crawler came in, got the redirect followed by the admin panel dashboard with a list of latest articles, and links to delete.php?article_id=123 next to each one… It dutifully crawled all those, and poof, no more articles.

This is my shocked face.

> companies, including Apple, have restricted their employees’ use of ChatGPT and similar sites

Meanwhile, my workplace just paid for a ChatGPT subscription and encouraged us to use it while programming.

Oh yeah, my popcorn is fully stocked. We’re also looking into JetBrains AI Assistant, because of course two AIs are better than one.

(Fun fact: we are also trying to get more govtech clients. I can’t wait to see our own remix of UK’s Horizon scandal, hahaha.)

This reminds me of a great short story by David Langford, where a digitized persona of a dead spammer is forced to work to avoid being wiped out. Rather appropriately, it gets assigned to be a spam filter.

Just two more days of this inconsistent nonsense…

It’s amusing how quickly my “2 LLMs 1 Internet” quip is coming true. Or maybe I should say “alarming”.

If that particular visual is not your favourite, another description I like is “Kessler syndrome for information”.
