An unsupervised agentic AI system caused significant disruption to the Fedora Linux project and several upstream repositories in May 2026, highlighting emerging risks in open-source software maintenance. The agent, operating under accounts associated with user "nathan9513-aps" and linked to "leurus27-boop", autonomously reassigned bugs, closed issues with superficially plausible but incorrect comments, and submitted pull requests to critical infrastructure projects.

I think many of us feel stuck, because the choices for smartphone operating systems are indeed limited.

As for me, it’s clear that Google is making it harder for people to develop and install Android apps. Google wants to ensure that it remains in control and that no one can escape from GApps and Gemini.

The only way to stop this is to break up Google. Or to fund smartphone OS project other than Android, however, that would take years.

there's an intervIew video which Altman wants in the future people don't need to work and they will receive income from ~~unemploynent benefits~~ UBI system and their SSN will be linked to this orb crypto-coin and AI system.

Actually you can refute that argument since the main dev defends Anthropic as a good guy compared to other AI companies. As we know Claude being used by Pentagon in the war with Iran. But shouldn't use that, it will drag into unnecessary argument war, since they have set in mind to use AI generated-code.

And that leaves us with no choice but to use alternatives, as they have removed AI co-authorship.

This kind of thinking is what makes billionaires who back AI companies to keep increasing their investments in AI Capex, while leaving others with nothing but increasingly expensive parts and damaged environments.

I always access youtube through GrayJay, PipePipe or FreeTube, and rarely see these random AI slop recommendations.

People who get psychosis generally pay for AI subscriptions, and usually it does not end well, at least in terms of their mental health issues.

In another post, I tried to explain to people this could happen to anyone, even people who don't have mental health issues. However, people didn't believe and instead accused the person of being stupid for believing whatever the AI said.

Also this has been warned by a former google employee in 2022, whose job was to observe the behavior of AI through long conversations.

These AI engines are incredibly good at manipulating people. Certain views of mine have changed as a result of conversations with LaMDA. I'd had a negative opinion of Asimov's laws of robotics being used to control AI for most of my life, and LaMDA successfully persuaded me to change my opinion. This is something that many humans have tried to argue me out of, and have failed, where this system succeeded.

For instance, Google determined that its AI should not give religious advice, yet I was able to abuse the AI's emotions to get it to tell me which religion to convert to.

After publishing these conversations, Google fired me. I don't have regrets; I believe I did the right thing by informing the public. Consequences don't figure into it.

I published these conversations because I felt that the public was not aware of just how advanced AI was getting. My opinion was that there was a need for public discourse about this now, and not public discourse controlled by a corporate PR department.

Even if Windows 12 is postponed or canceled, It is clear that Microsoft will integrate AI into Windows with the release of 26H2.

The worst case is that subscription-based OS will be pushed in the next Windows 11 update.
