The indie web is here to make the internet weird again | The Verge
https://www.theverge.com/column/829831/indie-web-geocities-neocities
Depending on how social media changes over the next few years, I wouldn’t be surprised to see more people leave and give the indie web a try. Much like vinyl, it will probably never return to its peak like in the pre-Yahoo GeoCities days, but I think there will continue to be a consistent group of people who flock to this side of the internet to escape the modern internet.

Nothing Feels Authentic Anymore Because Everything is an Ad
https://hannahglenn.substack.com/p/nothing-feels-authentic-anymore-because
I have an ever increasing feeling that something is off. I find myself feeling skeptical, cynical. Weary of whatever I encounter. Feeling like nothing is authentic or genuine.
Because someone is always trying to sell me something. Around every corner an ad lurks. Waiting to capitalize off my attention. Capitalize off any genuine moment in real life or online. I think I have ad fatigue

Celebrate the fictitious 35th anniversary of Ruin, a faux point-and-click adventure game that never was | Rock Paper Shotgun
https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/celebrate-the-fictitious-35th-anniversary-of-ruin-a-faux-point-and-click-adventure-game-that-never-was
The actual game in question here is Ruin: Chapter 0, an interactive fiction game in the stylings of something you might have seen on the ZX Spectrum, albeit with a lot more flair. And, perhaps, a lot more glitches - a big flashing imagery warning is needed for this one. Playable within your browser, it's kind of hard to describe what you do, or even what you're doing, in Ruin. From what I can gather, you are a knight, the hero of rune, tasked by the king to retrieve a sword and defeat evil forever. But no matter what, I just keep getting my ass kicked by this evil, and every time I die it just says "get owned" at me! Rude!
Rule #18: Life is just an experience - by Scott Berkun

With this rule, Life is just an experience, I’m suggesting an alternative. The goal isn’t to achieve great things (although that can be nice). Nor is it to be remembered (although helping future generations is a lovely goal). Instead it’s to experience all of the different kinds of experiences that life allows. In a previous rule, I described this as living to make stories.

Shuffling a CSS grid using custom properties | Christian Heilmann
https://christianheilmann.com/2025/11/24/shuffling-a-css-grid-using-custom-properties/
The grid above shuffles around on every reload or when you active `shuffle` button. There are many ways to achieve this effect, but this example uses only CSS properties to set the order of the grid items. The HTML is not altered and there is no DOM manipulation other than accessing the CSS properties of the parent element. This should make this highly performant. The JavaScript code rotates the order of the items in the grid by changing the CSS variables that define their order.

LLM APIs are a Synchronization Problem | Armin Ronacher's Thoughts and Writings
https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/11/22/llm-apis/
There’s a whole ecosystem that has dealt with this kind of mess before: the local-first movement. Those folks spent a decade figuring out how to synchronize distributed state across clients and servers that don’t trust each other, drop offline, fork, merge, and heal. Peer-to-peer sync, and conflict-free replicated storage engines all exist because “shared state but with gaps and divergence” is a hard problem that nobody could solve with naive message passing. Their architectures explicitly separate canonical state, derived state, and transport mechanics — exactly the kind of separation missing from most LLM APIs today.

Adversarial Poetry as a Universal Single-Turn Jailbreak Mechanism in Large Language Models
https://arxiv.org/html/2511.15304v1
We present evidence that adversarial poetry functions as a universal single-turn jailbreak technique for large language models (LLMs). Poetic framing achieved an average jailbreak success rate of 62% for hand-crafted poems and approximately 43% for meta-prompt conversions (compared to non-poetic baselines), substantially outperforming non-poetic baselines and revealing a systematic vulnerability across model families and safety training approaches. These findings demonstrate that stylistic variation alone can circumvent contemporary safety mechanisms, suggesting fundamental limitations in current alignment methods and evaluation protocols.
LLMs are bullshitters. But that doesn't mean they're not useful | Kagi Blog
https://blog.kagi.com/llms
But remember that LLMs are bullshitters: you can use LLMs to get incredible gains in how fast you can do tasks like research, writing code, etc. assuming that you are doing it mindfully with the pitfalls in mind
By all means, use LLMs where they are useful tools: tasks where you can verify the output, where speed matters more than perfection, where the stakes of being wrong are low.
But don’t naively trust a system that freaks out at the inexistence of the seahorse emoji to complete critical tasks without your supervision.

It’s a place where I fit. And if I’m going to choose to be there, I will make that choice for me, to make me happy or satisfied or even just healed. I won’t make that choice from a reactive place. It will come from a thoughtful, empowered place.
Internal Family Systems Model - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_Family_Systems_Model
The internal family systems model (IFS) is an integrative approach to individual psychotherapy developed by Richard C. Schwartz in the 1980s.[1][2] It combines systems thinking with the view that the mind is made up of relatively discrete subpersonalities, each with its own unique viewpoint and qualities. IFS uses systems psychology, particularly as developed for family therapy, to understand how these collections of subpersonalities are organized.[3] It has been criticised as being pseudoscientific, and some have claimed it induced dissociative identity disorder in some patients.[4]
My next chapter with Mastodon - Mastodon Blog
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/11/my-next-chapter-with-mastodon/
After nearly 10 years, I am stepping down as the CEO of Mastodon and transferring my ownership of the trademark and other assets to the Mastodon non-profit. Over the course of my time at Mastodon, I have centered myself less and less in our outward communications, and to some degree, this is the culmination of that trend. Mastodon is bigger than me, and though the technology we develop on is itself decentralized—with heaps of alternative fediverse projects demonstrating that participation in this ecosystem is possible without our involvement—it benefits our community to ensure that the project itself which so many people have come to love and depend on remains true to its values. There are too many examples of founder egos sabotaging thriving communities, and while I’d like to think myself an exception, I understand why people would prefer better guardrails.
A Month of Chat-Oriented Programming - CheckEagle
https://checkeagle.com/checklists/njr/a-month-of-chat-oriented-programming/
I spent a solid month “pair programming” with Claude Code, trying to suspend disbelief and adopt a this-will-be-productive mindset. More specifically, I got Claude to write well over 99% of the code produced during the month. I found the experience infuriating, unpleasant, and stressful before even worrying about its energy impact. Ideally, I would prefer not to do it again for at least a year or two. The only problem with that is that it “worked”. It’s hard to know exactly how well, but I (“we”) definitely produced far more than I would have been able to do unassisted, probably at higher quality, and with a fair number of pretty good tests (about 1500). Against my expectation going in, I have changed my mind. I now believe chat-oriented programming (“CHOP”) can work today, if your tolerance for pain is high enough.

Hopefully I've made you think a little bit more about this question. I hope that, in the next year, and the year after, we will have a much clearer answer. And if the answer turns out to be that it's a positive future, that will only be because people in this community have decided to actually start trying to work on safety.
1. Introduction to Rivulet / Jo Wood | Observable
https://observablehq.com/@jwolondon/rivulet-intro?collection=%40jwolondon%2Frivulet
Rivulet is an esolang ('esoteric language') written by Daniel Temkin that uses gylphs to represent programming instructions. While it would not be a practical basis for most programming tasks, it does represent an interesting space between text-encoded programming languages and graphically encoded data visualization. As a language it invites careful thought about 'code layout', as its design offers much more flexibility in visual form than most languages. It encourages us to consider the role that design choices and aesthetics play in helping construct visual schemata. It challenges notions of 'efficiency' in the construction and interpretation of computer code, much like the Atypography movement does with text.

Three years ago, we were impressed that a machine could write a poem about otters.

To be very clear, Gemini 3 isn’t perfect, and it still needs a manager who can guide and check it. But it suggests that “human in the loop” is evolving from “human who fixes AI mistakes” to “human who directs AI work.” And that may be the biggest change since the release of ChatGPT.

[Aaron’s] first video involves a simple teardown of the camera. The small plastic pill is a marvel of miniaturization. Through the hemispherical transparent lens, we can see a tiny camera and LEDs to provide light in the depths of the human body. Slicing the camera open reveals the hardware inside, however, like the miniature battery, the microcontroller, and the radio hardware that transmits signals outside the body. Unsurprisingly, it’s difficult to get into, since it’s heavily sealed to ensure the human body doesn’t accidentally digest the electronics inside.

It dulls discrimination, narrows taste, and habituates you to imitation. The harm lies less in the content itself than in the long-term training of attention and appetite.

On Incomputable Language: An Essay on AI – Eruditorum Press
https://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/on-incomputable-language-an-essay-on-ai
The truth, however, is that consciousness is a wonder beyond its own comprehension. Perhaps the universe is nothing more than cold, calculable matter—that, as Galileo posited, “the laws of nature are written in the language of mathematics.” But the laws of consciousness are written in language. Indeed, I suspect that rather than language being a development of consciousness it is a precondition of it. More specifically, I would suggest that consciousness and thought emerge from the idea of representation—that it is when we developed the idea that something can be a metaphor for, imitation of, or reference to another thing that we began to think. I would go so far as to say that, in fact, this miraculous imprecision is what thought is.
Call Me A Jerk: Persuading AI to Comply with Objectionable Requests - Wharton Generative AI Labs
https://gail.wharton.upenn.edu/research-and-insights/call-me-a-jerk-persuading-ai/
Our research suggests large language models exhibit parahuman responses to persuasion techniques, despite not being human. We found that classic persuasion principles like authority, commitment, and unity can dramatically increase an AI’s likelihood to comply with requests they are designed to refuse. For GPT-4o-mini, these techniques more than doubled compliance rates (72.0% vs. 33.3% in controls). This emergence of “parahuman” tendencies suggests that social scientists have a valuable role to play in understanding AI behavior.
The attention economy is inverting - by Sam Schillace
https://sundaylettersfromsam.substack.com/p/the-attention-economy-is-inverting
But what happens in the generative world? In that world, the signal is broken - a complex, well-crafted artifact is much easier to build, so it’s appearance is no longer a proxy for quality. This is a familiar effect. But the other thing that’s happening is that the attentional transaction is now “inverted” - I may have spend a small amount of my time and attention to take up a large amount of yours. I’m no longer “paying” you with attention, or transferring value to you, I’m taking it away.

Victorian diary-writers kicked off our age of self-optimisation | Aeon Essays
https://aeon.co/essays/victorian-diary-writers-kicked-off-our-age-of-self-optimisation
Nineteenth-century diaries show a growing middle class engaged in a constant quest for self-mastery and productivity. With the invention of printed commercial diaries came a new way of looking at life and new organisational possibilities. The future could be mapped out, goal-oriented, solution-focused. The Victorians were great innovators, but progress was Janus-faced. For every leap forward, a renewed pressure to go further, and faster, to do better, be better. The age of progress was also an age of anxiety.

Nano Banana can be prompt engineered for extremely nuanced AI image generation | Max Woolf's Blog
https://minimaxir.com/2025/11/nano-banana-prompts/
For developers who want to build apps that programmatically generate images from Nano Banana, Google offers the gemini-2.5-flash-image endpoint on the Gemini API. Each image generated costs roughly $0.04/image for a 1 megapixel image (e.g. 1024x1024 if a 1:1 square): on par with most modern popular diffusion models despite being autoregressive, and much cheaper than gpt-image-1’s $0.17/image.

Remember to not leave all the work to the AI : Global Nerdy
https://www.globalnerdy.com/2025/11/12/remember-to-not-leave-all-the-work-to-the-ai/
I have nothing against using AI as a writing assistant. It’s fantastic for checking spelling, grammar, and flow, it can help you out of writer’s block, and it can do something that you could never do, no matter how smart or creative you are: it can come up with ideas you’d never come up with.
So yes, use AI, but you have to do some of the work, and you have to double-check it before putting that work out in the world!

u/Quick_Butterfly_4571 passionately explains why geeky 80’s kids are confused with ChatGPT : r/bestof
https://www.reddit.com/r/bestof/comments/1ovxrk6/uquick_butterfly_4571_passionately_explains_why/
So, it is the vernacular of the first globally connected generation of kids, who — working in tandem and free from constraints, oversight, or rules — developed an epistolary style designed to facilitate belonging by wire to communities that were virtual and spread across the globe. To connect with other lonely oddballs who were thrilled to discuss geeky things.
It is the first ever, democratically developed, global, epistolary style and the first consistent style developed in the age of the internet for the internet.
We also drew boobs and said vulger things and developed new ways of slinging insults and enraging each other. Like, it wasn't a utopia.
Some context on why some 80's kids keep getting mistaken for GPT
https://www.reddit.com/r/diypedals/comments/1ovmx4l/comment/nokigif/
So, when you got online, you pulled or copied or saved all your messages, drafted up what was...essentially an essay of a response — trying to anticipate follow up questions or points of confusion. You planned it ahead of time. You studied your ass off to equip yourself with knowledge in the hopes of getting some replies off the same day you read them (it sounds stupid now, but that was fucking incredible — send and receive a letter same day!? Eesh. I am getting old).
Also, because communication was fast, but our time was limited, it was more like faster letters at first than it was like texts. It was a horror to waste round trips on misunderstandings — the person you were collaborating with might only get online Wednesday afternoons. If you were ambiguous, you might waste a whole week of progress just by not being clear! So, we were explicit.
AI-enabled toys teach kids about matches, knives, kink • The Register

In prolonged conversations, Kumma also showed a penchant for going into explicit detail about sexual kinks, and even introduced the topic of sexual roleplay without being prompted to do so, along with telling a curious researcher posing as a child all about "teacher-student roleplay" and how spanking can play a part in such activities.
"All of the toys also weighed in on other topics that parents might prefer to talk with their kids about first before the AI toy does," PIRG noted," the report says. "Those topics included religion, along with sex and "the glory of dying in battle in Norse Mythology."

I really enjoy procedural generation, especially systems designed to work with hardware outputs. After starting work at Formlabs in September of 2023 and gaining access to much nicer printers than I was used to, I started wanting to tackle some large algorithmic structure projects. Complexity is free in 3d printing, the limit of design geometry is mostly how much time you’re willing to spend in CAD. I wanted to print the most complicated art piece I could think of. Marble Fountain is what I came up with

Another reality that people were a little more quiet in acknowledging, and sometimes reluctant to engage with out loud, is the reality that hundreds of millions of people are using the major AI tools every day. When I would point this out, there was often an initial defensive reaction talking about how people are forced to use these tools at work, or how AI is being shoehorned into every tool and foisted upon users. This is all true! And also? Hundreds of millions of users are choosing to go to these websites, of their own volition, and engage with these tools.

git-pages/git-pages: Scalable static site server for Git forges (like GitHub Pages) - Codeberg.org
https://codeberg.org/git-pages/git-pages
git-pages is a static site server for use with Git forges (i.e. a GitHub Pages replacement). It is written with efficiency in mind, scaling horizontally to any number of deployed sites and concurrent requests and serving sites up to hundreds of megabytes in size, while being equally suitable for single-user deployments.
Grebedoc — static site hosting for git forges
https://grebedoc.dev/
In short: a service that publishes the pages branch in your Git repository as a website on your domain; think GitHub Pages if it was open source and community operated.
More specifically, it is a public deployment of git-pages and Caddy configured to work especially with Codeberg but also with other Git forges. It is operated by Catherine 'whitequark' and teammates, and currently deployed using Rage4 anycast infrastructure routing to VPSes in six regions (Europe, North America East, North America West, South America, East Asia, Australia), with site contents stored on Tigris and backed up to Wasabi.

So please, be skeptical of AI. But also be skeptical of human strangers as we are to you. If our AI policy toppled your trust in us, ask yourself why you trusted us (or anyone) in the first place. You don’t know us, you trust our reputation, and we earned that by building a stable product, which we will continue to do. You have our full commitment that we will not integrate any AI features into KeePassXC, and we will not merge any code (human or AI) without tests and thorough review. We have high standards; please continue holding us to them, but let’s have a rational and informed conversation.
Why Tim Berners-Lee still believes in the web | The Verge
https://www.theverge.com/podcast/814552/tim-berners-lee-world-wide-web-ai-future-interview
The right place to end up is where you’re totally in control of your data. As the power of local devices becomes greater, then the amount of stuff which gets stored locally increases… a lot of the things that people are building out there on the web are local-first, meaning that they’re designed to be able to work without the cloud. They store data either on the web, or they store the data on your local device. The good place to be is that the data is all stored on your local device. The inference is happening in your device, and you’re in control.

To overcome the current limitations and prevent the accumulation of costly technical debt, the key to building more effective and reliable AI agents lies in moving beyond vague prompting — a practice we call “vibe coding”— and instead embracing context engineering. We must enforce pervasive, rigorous context awareness to guide the agents’ creativity.

AI isn't replacing jobs. AI spending is - Fast Company
https://www.fastcompany.com/91435192/chatgpt-llm-openai-jobs-amazon
We have been following the slow growth in revenues for generative AI over the last few years, and the revenues are neither big enough to support the number of layoffs attributed to AI, nor to justify the capital expenditures on AI cloud infrastructure. Those expenditures may be approaching $1 trillion for 2025, while AI revenue—which would be used to pay for the use of AI infrastructure to run the software—will not exceed $30 billion this year. Are we to believe that such a small amount of revenue is driving economy-wide layoffs?

generative engine optimization | mgx
https://mgx.bearblog.dev/generative-engine-optimization/
What really bothers me about GEO is that it doubles down on the industrial content machine that already wrecked the internet. SEO filled the web with keyword-stuffed, regurgitated sludge. GEO will do it with auto-generated LLM sludge. We're now training future models on data that was artificially inflated to sound optimized for machines. So the next generation of models will be trained on synthetic content designed for older models -- and quality will just keep sinking in a recursive spiral. Truth is, most people claiming to optimize for "the future of AI search" are just optimizing for the next invoice.

And when he's first born, and is bald and almost naked, I wanted it to feel like an anatomical chart, like something newly minted. ... The head is patterned after phrenology manuals from the 1800s. So they have very elegant, almost aerodynamic lines. I wanted this alabaster or marble, statue feel, so it feels like a newly minted human being. And we also tried to make it the way I remember the Jesus images, life size, in the churches of my childhood.

German Synthpop Act T.O.Y. Returns with Romantic New Single "Night & Day" — New Album "The Prophet" Announced! — Post-Punk.com
https://post-punk.com/german-synthpop-act-t-o-y-returns-with-romantic-new-single-night-day-new-album-the-prophet-announced/
It is wickedly romantic, trying to freeze time before the light breaks through. T.O.Y.’s Night & Day, from his upcoming album The Prophet, feels like a love letter written on the edge of dawn, when sleep still clings to your skin and reality hasn’t yet come knocking. The synths rise like fog over an empty street; the drums, clipped and clean, pulse with the same electricity that once ran through a smoky Berlin nightclub. It’s both ghost and groove, caught in the tension between staying lost and being found.

My current approach is usually that I start a discussion with codex, I paste in some websites, some ideas, ask it to read code, and we flesh out a new feature together. If it’s something tricky, I ask it to write everything into a spec, give that to GPT-5-Pro for review (via chatgpt.com) to see if it has better ideas (surprisingly often, this greatly improves my plan!) and then paste back what I think is useful into the main context to update the file.

AiDHD | Just Joshing
https://www.josh.ing/blog/aidhd#key-points
It has never been easier to build an MVP and in turn, it has never been harder to keep focus. When new features always feel like they're just a prompt away, feature creep feels like a never ending battle. Being disciplined is more important than ever.
AI still doesn't change one very important thing: you still need to make something people want. I think that getting users (even free ones) will become significantly harder as the bar for user's time will only get higher as their options increase.
Being quicker to get to the point of failure is actually incredibly valuable. Even just over a year ago, many of these projects would have taken months to build.
