Of course, the "AI Control" in Firefox for Android conveniently doesn't include the "make-a-jerkoff-motion-to-llm-summarize a-page" "feature" Mozilla has added.

The first I heard of a project doing this was iocaine, an anti-scraper tool (that I think awful.systems uses??) which has module names like "sex_dungeon" and "GargleBargle" intended to make the codebase unmanageable to navigate for llm tooling. It's pretty funny that this has become an established technique.

Molly White continuing to slam it out of the park with a pivot to AI. As always, worth a read in full, but this intro bit stuck out to me after reading lots of inane blather on how crypto and AI are different:

Continuing to track only crypto would mean missing half the story. The same operatives are running both campaigns. Josh Vlasto, longtime adviser and spokesperson for Fairshake — the cryptocurrency super PAC network responsible for the bulk of crypto’s 2024 spending — is now simultaneously heading Leading the Future, a pro-AI super PAC network. Chris Lehane, the political consultant and Coinbase board member who helped establish Fairshake and famously told Coinbase employees who questioned whether a crypto voter bloc existed that they would simply invent one, is now also an OpenAI executive and one of the people behind the Leading the Future PAC network. The same venture capital firms are funding both: Andreessen Horowitz, a crypto heavyweight in the 2024 elections, is now splitting its political spending across crypto and AI PACs.

Ultex Jazz III XL, like the regular jazz III in tone but actually large and grippy enough to stay between your fingers and more durable than nylon.

Thin Ultex sharps for strummier and acoustic stuff.

I like tortex but it wears out too quickly IMO.

Topic adjacent, jazz musician/music theory youtuber Adam Neely has an 1hr30 video eviscerating Suno/AI music. Very high quality sneering with some wonderful Ben Levin animations.
