This is the ultimate denial-of-service attack against Linus Torvalds: flood him with AI-generated code all day long until he finally says, "Man, I can't do this anymore. Help!" 😄
Le he pedido a ChatGPT que represente la proclamación de la Constitución de 1812 en Cádiz. Sin más detalles. El resultado parece una pintura de historia del XIX. No reproduce ninguna fuente ni acude a la genealogía visual del acontecimiento, aunque el modelo afirma lo contrario.

Anthropic is buying millions of rare books, scanning and destroying them because legally destruction is the safest option. This was a plot element in the Vernor Vinge novel, "The Rainbow's End", which I read 20 years ago.
Visual Studio Code estaba agregando a Copilot como coautor de todos los ‘commits’ de Git sin decírselo a nadie
Ha estado agregando silenciosamente la línea "Co-authored-by: Copilot" a los commits de Git de los usuarios, incluidas aquellos escritos sin la participación de Copilot

El que cobra por no usar IA
Matías es diseñador freelance, vive en Palermo, tiene 34 años. Desde enero subió sus precios un 40%.
Su pitch nuevo dice una sola línea: "Garantía 100% humano. Sin IA en ninguna etapa del proceso".
Tiene lista de espera de 3 meses. Sus clientes son marcas de lujo, estudios de abogados, bodegas premium. Gente que necesita poder decir que lo suyo lo hizo una persona.
Para demostrarlo graba todo su proceso en time-lapse. 8 horas de Photoshop sin atajos, capa por capa, en video. Lo entrega junto con el archivo final como "certificado de autenticidad".
Sus colegas lo putean en los grupos de Discord. Dicen que es marketing barato, que la IA es una herramienta más, que es como pelearse con la calculadora.
Matías no contesta. Está cobrando el doble que ellos.
En 2026 lo hecho a mano va a ser el nuevo lujo. Como la madera maciza contra el melamina. Como el café de especialidad contra el Nescafé. Como el sastre contra Zara.
El que entendió esto primero, ganó.
By 1981, digital art had already appeared in major exhibitions, but much of it reached the public through print. Framebuffer (1981) made a different argument — that the screen was not merely a tool for previewing or creating an image, but a site of presentation.

That is the true definition of malware.
There’s a famous Usenet story about a programmer (Mel) who refused higher level abstractions.
It was the late 1950s, and even in that era, Mel was…well today we’d call him a boomer.
Mel only wrote in raw hexadecimal. He didn’t approve of compilers, and refused to use optimizing assemblers.
"You never know where it's going to put things”, he said.
Everyone else in the company was moving on to FORTRAN, and they didn’t understand why Mel was so stubborn about using new tools. He *loved* self-modifying code.
“If a program can’t rewrite its own code”, he asked, “what good is it?”
Mel eventually left the company, and other engineers were tasked with understanding what was left.
Mel’s hand-optimized routines always beat the assemblers; but some of it looked absolutely bizarre.
One engineer took ~2 weeks to understand why there were loops with no exit condition…yet the program worked fine.
I won’t spoil all the details, you should really read it, it’s short. But it’s a fantastic piece on “what defines a real programmer?”…which is becoming increasingly relevant in this vibe-coded era.
I strive to understand computers as deeply as Mel! If we aren’t careful, we’re going to lose the “Mels” of this world to time.
That’s part of why I go so deep in my youtube videos. I hope that younger viewers are genuinely fascinated by the inner workings of our machines, instead of handing everything off to higher abstractions.
In the past I’ve used palette snooping to implement hardware projects that visualize VGA palette updates in MS-DOS games. When you are the video card you don’t even have to snoop the palette!
