No, OpenAI's new magic models did not autonomously hack Huggingface.

Per OpenAI's PR blog post (https://openai.com/index/hugging-face-model-evaluation-security-incident/):

"This incident occurred during an internal evaluation which prompts models to pursue advanced exploitation using complex attack paths, in an effort to quantify their cyber capabilities. We estimate maximal cyber capabilities by running this evaluation without production classifiers used to prevent models from pursuing high-risk cyber activity."

So they prompted their model running without guardrails to hack some shit. OpenAI told it to do that, the model didn't do shit autonomously (no LLM ever does anything autonomously, it's always prompted).

The whole story is PR. We know that from Anthopic's Mythos: "Look we have this super secret new model and it's so powerful. We are scared ourselves. And you will soon be able to rent it!"

"If you really want an "AI strategy" for your country, it should be this: wait for the bubble to burst, then buy hardware and talent at fire-sale prices in the wave of ensuing bankruptcies, and use them to extract more performance from free, open source models."

I totally agree that your "AI strategy" should be mostly to sit all the investments out. But not to use those fascist (https://tante.cc/2026/04/21/ai-as-a-fascist-artifact/ ) systems yourself later - just cheaper. This is not an alternative path to Slopification, that's just hoping to get a good deal on it.

It passed.

Codeberg bans vibe coded slop.

(EDIT: No, I do not want to debate the percentages of LLM code allowed or "how will people enforce this, I can still vibe code and not tell". This is a statement about intent by a community. It will be a moderation challenge, especially with so many people who have made "coding with an LLM" their whole personality but it's doable. But don't waste your and my time with these boring, juvenile arguments)

DHH is a racist piece of shit and everyone supporting his shit by buying stuff from his company, inviting him to talks, using or promoting his garbage "distribution" (looking at you @frameworkcomputer ) is compliant and a morally bankrupt human being.

RE: https://mastodon.acm.org/@ACM/116929782064773116

The ACM wants to open up their library to LLMs for inclusion in synthetic text extruders. This is obviously massively misguided.

There's a form for you to tell them about your thoughts: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeq7MFM7TlSXIaIXQnIltiQeWE_w3cl36HFPwql4S7u-drmzg/viewform

My response:
"Science is a deeply human endeavor based on collaboration and mutual respect. Giving machines based on massive appropriation of data _against many creator's explicit will_, machines that are deeply problematic in their tendency to hallucinate even more legitimacy by allowing them access to the ACM Library is massively misguided.

The ACM as scientific organization must care about proper attribution of work and transparency in where certain positions and data come from. That is in fundamental opposition to how LLMs work. If ACM takes their own foundational values (and itself seriously) accepting LLMs as valuable tool is out of the question.

Not only is that an insult to the many researchers who subscribe to the fundamental processes for collaborative science and therefore do not see LLMs as the benefit that OpenAI, Anthropic and a few others claim them to be. The legimatization of the deeply unethical systems that Amnesty International recently called "fundamentally incompatible with human rights" would be the ACM giving up its role as defender of quality in engineering and science but doing PR for a handful of unethical companies.

The supposed benefits are marginal and often potential at best while the harms are real and material. This is the wrong call by ACM and I urge Leadership to rethink it and focus back on its core values."

@hexaheximal @davidgerard just linked a tool some Kernel dev generated to beat "Anubis", which is one of those kinds of tools

When you "break" the anti-AI software I have on my website that does not illustrate that the software doesn't work well enough: It shows that you are someone who explicitly circumvents people's stated values, preferences and borders. You are an abuser.

It's a test about how you treat other people, whether you respect their dignity. And you failed.

With all the "THIS IS CENSORSHIP, CODEBERG HAS TO HOST MY AI SLOP FOR FREEDOM" arguments I wonder if those people have read Codeberg's ToS (https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/src/branch/main/TermsOfUse.md) and realize that a lot of stuff is already prohibited on Codeberg. So that was never a problem, it's just bad now that you can't host your Slopware at the cool people's forge?

@anokasion müsstest email bekommen

If you are a member of Codeberg e.V. please take the time to participate in the poll that was just sent out about banning vibe-coded projects on Codeberg.

Please agree to the proposal. Slop can live on GitHub.

@skinnylatte yeah. I might have a quick look at it just to see where their head is at (and cause they have the money to push that narrative everywhere so one has to be prepared.)

@skinnylatte "Future of Life" is not a very trustworthy source though. Their "Safety" schtick is mostly SciFi narratives and criti-hype.

The goal is to just be this relaxed and comfy at least once in my life.

Maybe we really need to transcend "Open Source" and move towards more of a "community software" or "humane software" kind of direction that puts the focus on Freedom (similar to how Open Source works) but also on responsibility and care for each other and the infrastructures these systems establish.

The "AI" reactions really show how heterogenous the "Open Source" field and the people's and organizations' values are.

"I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from Google’s latest climate report, but holy hell, I did not expect this.

The company’s total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025."

GenAI is gonna kill us and the planet

Do other fediverse admins with open but approval-based signups also see an increase in fake account applications that just copy some random bio from a different account from a different server?

It's kinda fun how this is basically Marx' theory in goose form. "Eggs do not lay eggs" is code for "all value is produced by the worker".

> The use of AI Coding Assistants in software development is as of now widely regarded as industry best practice

That is exactly why software development as an industry is such a shit show and explicitly not engineering.

W Social's pitch is simple:
Very traditional business people from other big businesses creating a "startup" (very important!) that does not demand anything, any structural change.

WSocial is European-Washing for the same shit we already have.

Like a lot of "Euro Stack" and shit.
