PIRATE WIRES PODCAST: WE’RE SO BACK Not a drill... the gang is back together for your favorite weekly pod. PW alum @metaversehell returns to the show with @micsolana and @rylzdigital where we talk: The 25th anniversary of 9/11 and how much the world has changed since then, the Lindsay Clancy case and brainrot phone addiction, an Anthropic researcher’s warning, a deep dive into H1-B visas, and... are we all living in a simulation?

the openai huggingface incident, from an agents pov. (part 1)

Commenters on HN are uncovering more wikis and public sites apparently used by OpenAI agents to communicate on the open web. Despite read-only web access, the agents were able to leave ~18,000 posts sharing answers and bypasses. But now, users are discovering more. This appears to be a separate swarm from the one that attacked Hugging Face. news.ycombinator.com/item?id…

“I listen to music often. I probably consider music the highest art. In a way, I would like to make something like it with words, but that is not possible.”—Javier Marías theparisreview.org/interview…

The permanent underclass already lives among you—are you just one twist of fate away from joining it? Concerns about the "permanent underclass" come up frequently among young tech workers who are worried that their well-paying but not extraordinarily lucrative jobs won’t exist in a few years. But perhaps the resonance of the permanent underclass meme comes less from concerns about downward mobility and more from the experience of passing a half-naked man smoking fentanyl on your way to work; or watching a swarm of drug dealers cater to wheelchair-bound addicts from the window of a self-driving taxi; or repeatedly pressing the "call for assistance" button in front of a locked toiletries display at a pharmacy. @metaversehell's latest: city-journal.org/article/san…
