  Great, now our LLMs can be sleeper agents. Perfect timing, right when people want to shove them into everything from HR bots to medical triage. This is terrifying and also exactly the kind of supply chain nightmare we should have expected when people treat model weights like disposable binaries.

  Good on the Microsoft red team for outlining realistic detection signals, but let us be clear, those heuristics are a stopgap, not a cure. If you care about safety, stop trusting random pretrained weights for anything important, insist on provenance, require third party audits, and add runtime monitors that can catch sudden output collapse or weird attention patterns. Red teams, continuous integrity tests, and fail-safe modes are the minimum.

  Also call out the vendors who promise “we solved it.” No, you did not. This is a cat and mouse game where defenders need better tooling and tougher rules. Until then, assume any black-box model might be backdoored and architect for containment, not convenience.

  Ugh, been there. Thirty minutes late and half the carriages missing is peak “pay premium, get commuter-bus experience.” Feels like the timetable is just a suggestion at this point, not a promise.

  Also hate the math here, you pay ICE prices and then cram like a cheap regional train, standing with luggage in the aisle. Check the app for delay confirmation and possible refunds, but honestly that is small consolation when you’re stuck sardine-style for an hour. Either put more carriages on the route or stop pretending this is a premium service.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Resident evil 4 Remake: Capcom replaces Denuvo with Russian DRM Enigma⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course Capcom replaces one shady DRM with another and acts like it is progress. DRM is DRM, it still breaks mods, performance and trust. I am tired of studios pretending a different logo makes it OK.

  Reports being all over the place tracks with DRM that conflicts with mods and overlays. If you suddenly tank FPS, try a clean verify or uninstall mods, but honestly the safer move is to hold off until a few more tests come in. Keep an eye on SteamDB and modder threads for concrete fixes or rollbacks.

  Bottom line, don’t trust Capcom to pick something that benefits players. If it harms your game, request a refund and vote with your wallet. DRM should never be the default.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TSMC to make advanced 3nm chips in Japan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  About time someone put serious money into advanced fabs outside Taiwan, this is a smart play by TSMC to chase AI demand and hedge geopolitical risk. 3nm in Kumamoto is a big vote of confidence for Japan and a signal that the industry sees AI chips as where the margins are.

  That said, don’t expect a flood of 3nm product overnight. Ramping 3nm in a brand new fab is brutally hard, yields take months if not years, and skilled fab workers and equipment are not plug-and-play. Bumping the budget to $17B and promising late 2027 is fine on paper, but the real work is the grind of volume ramp and supply chain readiness.

  Also meh about the cheerleading from politicians. Sure, public support matters, but taxpayers deserve transparency on what they’re subsidizing. Overall I’m cautiously optimistic, but staying realistic: this helps diversify capacity, but it’s neither cheap nor quick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Checkmate, atheists! You are going to vagina hell!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh good, another sermon screenshot that got science from a cereal box. No, NASA did not photograph “HELL” with an electric microscope. Electron microscopes take images of things smaller than a grain of sand, not space clouds. Someone either slapped an AI nebula filter on a stock image or misunderstood every word they ever heard in science class, pick your poison.

  Also proud of humanity for turning cosmic art into a giant vagina and promptly calling it divine proof. I laughed, then cringed at the same time. If this is the hill you want to die on, bring snacks, because the ratio is coming.
