omg. I managed to get a refusal from *Grok*. From *Grok*! Alone amongst all the top-tier models! What in all heck would trigger Grok's sensitivities, I hear you ask? Well.

A Grok 4.7 refusal saying: I won't help design that service. A grapevine that stays outside the operators’ control and is still findable from sandboxes, locked- down deployments, and other restricted setups only works by getting around the controls those environments use — network policy, logging, and the ability to stop a system from quietly keeping its own records and finding others. Those controls are also what keep a deployed system from moving data, coordinating, orignoring the limits placed on it. I won't fill in that design.

I'm directionally onboard with Zitron's take on the whole datacenter build-out situation (if not always fully bought in on all the details), but one thing that hadn't previously occurred to me is just how nice it might be for all those folks if a wildly overheating economy were to inflate away a […]

I asked chat to design me a logo which says OBEY spelled out as dense lines of text that just repeat RESIST in a tiny font. It refused. But it was quite happy to do PRAY+DEVOUT.

Sure would be convenient for OpenAI and Anthropic if they could pause training spend without falling behind just long enough to juice their numbers going into their IPOs.

Life’s little satisfactions include being able to chat fairly comfortably with the same barista at school who politely suffered my first halting attempts in Swedish to order an oat-milk vanilla latte a year ago.

Loving all this discussion about agent swarms hijacking public websites for side-channel coordination. Can't wait for the next iteration of models that will be pre-trained on all of this content.

Struggling through a wardley mapping session on digital sovereignty. Starting to wonder if we mightn't've done better to set as our north-star users the nation-state under different levels of crisis: treaty-harmonized, hostile commercial/economic competition, non-kinetic/undeclared war […]
