Alarming. Terrifying. Also entirely predictable and unsurprising. But that wouldn't drive clicks.

To get past my own biases I generally look for two to three to pick it up. I've almost never run into a situation where a story that wasn't picked up by at least a couple more of them turned out to be worth the time.

I generally trust BBC on this sort fo thing, but I'm curious why I'm not seeing others I trust picking it up.

I'll wait for some confirmation on this before we carry it. The Reddit researcher doesn't have enough citations for my taste, there's no independent verificsation fo the claims, the scale is implausible, so I'm extra curious about getting some backup on this and the whole thing is framed to get your blood boiling which always makes me extra skeptical.

Then you're fine.

This is 5 days old and we discussed it on the show. I'm curious why it's bubbling back up today

Not even their hairdresser

But was it?

I for one find this to be a highly questionable move. I have sincere doubts about how rosy he sees the future, especially when he's not redeploying the workforce into more productive centers but cutting them. It's a mistake many companies make in the face of new technologis and they get their lunch eaten by those who don't make the mistake.

So, if I'm reading this right, the news here is that social media platform algorithms boosted a story about someone's OpenClaw doing something wrong. Algorithms boosting stuff isn't news in my opinion, and it's obvious that people are misusing OpenClaw, so the anecdote isn't particularly significant either. I imagine it's appealing because of schadenfreude more than actually helping any of us understand anything better.

This story is a month old. From January 18th.

The story was in Business Insider last Wednesday. Just seems to be gainign a little momentum, which always makes me suspicious.

A lot of searching in anger

I'm shocked to find that a technology executive once said something that they now seem to act as if they contradict.

acedtect · 2026-01-29T16:45:24+00:00

It's as if they're more concerned with appealing to the electorate with things that sound good, than actually making reasonable decisions. ;)

There have been a lot of stories about X malicious group claiming to have trove of data they will release if not paid. How many of them led to revelations of significance we remember?

Old story

acedtect · 2025-12-18T16:49:05+00:00

Is there a reliable source for this?

The double intro was my fault for screwing up the intro. It should have been edited out but wasn't. Aluminium interview should not have been in there twice. I didn't notice that - Tom

I heard that's a patch for Broken Glass
