AI CEOs should have their lives be made a living hell.
take for example Anthropic claiming Claude can feel pain. they should immediately be sued for false advertising, then if they (somehow) convince the court it isn't false advertising, take them to court for slavery.
either they're lying or they're slave owners. they can't have both. i believe it's obviously the first one, and that under the threat of jail they'll admit it.

Well, I've given myself another earworm, and I *know* this is making me giggle more than it should, so I am going to take it all as a sign that I should be thinking about bedtime 😁

@Viss context needed here - was it hotsauce, geekery, education or strategic application of electricity?

We've (finally) roadmapped IPv6 support for www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com!
Via the same workstream, we'll also support v6 on BBC Account (login) and more (maybe all) of media (iPlayer and Sounds) plus our mediation layer.
Yeah I know it's 2026 and others have been doing v6 for aaaaages but we had some awkward blockers and coordination between www and media to sort out.
No firm timelines yet but I'm expecting it to be in the first half of 2027 assuming no delays 🤞🏻

Coding agents reduce software development to a simple matter of:
* specifying requirements
* verifying correctness and quality
* maintaining and operating software you didn't write
As we all know, those have always been the easiest, most well-understood parts of the craft, so everything is fine!
