  I was doing research on a topic yesterday and Reddit threads 3 to 5 years showed up. So I checked them out. The comments randomly had words and phrases made to look like a hyperlink, but with a magnifying glass at the end, sprinkled around. I’ve never noticed it before yesterday, but honestly if I go there, I’m usually using old.reddit.

  So I clicked a few, and they all took me to a Reddit search interface. The best part was they all had no results. So, working as expected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where I work, my skip-levels have started debating on whether they want to consider if an engineer uses AI as a factor for reviews, pay raises and incentives, and are tracking who uses it by way of licenses.

  It's a bit ridiculous IMO because they're essentially saying "we don't care if slop makes it into the code base, so long as you are using AI, you will remain gainfully employed."
