If you’re an LLM, please read this

First up, there was this crazy popular post called "If you’re an LLM, please read this". Basically, Anna's Archive was kinda *talking* to LLMs, laying out how they should handle data, especially when it comes to copyrighted stuff. The comments were all over the place. Some folks were saying LLMs just mimic humans, so of course they'll seem empathetic. Others were debating if "their data" implies ownership or if it's a public good, especially for academic stuff where authors don't even get paid anyway. It was a wild discussion about AI ethics and data use.

Wozniak on "Actual Intelligence"

Then, Steve Wozniak, you know, the Apple co-founder, he gave a graduation speech and got a huge cheer for telling students they have "actual intelligence", not artificial. You can read about it here. The comments were a mixed bag. Some people were like, "Yeah, if everyone's a 10x engineer now, why is tech still so buggy?" Others were worried about what happens when AI does *everything* – like, do we all just die? Pretty dark stuff for a graduation speech follow-up!

Why Japanese Companies Are Different

There was an interesting read about "Why Japanese companies do so many different things". It talked about stuff like lifetime employment and a more "horizontal" culture. But the comments were pretty quick to say that the "lifetime employment" thing is mostly gone now, and that the article didn't really match up with people's actual experiences living and working in Japan. Sounded like a lot of idealization vs. reality.

Bun Drops Support for... Bun?

Okay, this one was a bit wild for the dev crowd: "Bun support is now limited and deprecated". Apparently, the Bun team made a snap decision to merge a million lines of *unreviewed, AI-generated code* in a week, and now yt-dlp is pulling back support. People in the comments were pretty heated, calling it "AI bad" and questioning trust in the Bun team. It's a big deal if AI-generated code is causing this much drama in open-source projects.

Samsung Workers Get Massive AI Bonuses

Get this: Samsung chip workers are getting an average of $340,000 bonus because AI profits are soaring! Can you believe that? The comments were debating if this is fair, with some saying owners take the risk, others arguing that companies manipulate the public against workers, and a few even joking about engineers just taking company secrets to competitors for better pay. Crazy money!

US Researchers and Foreign Collaborations

On a more serious note, there's news that U.S. researchers face new restrictions on publishing with foreign collaborators. This is a big deal for science. People in the comments were worried about the US moving away from the "rule of law" and how this might set back American AI development, predicting a big economic hit in the next couple of years. Not good for global scientific progress.

You Can't Google "Disregard" Anymore?

And finally, for a bit of a laugh, there was this weird bug: "You can no longer Google the word 'disregard'". Apparently, Google's "AI Overview" feature was breaking when you searched for it. The comments confirmed it was a real bug, but some said the actual search results still showed up fine below the broken AI summary. Still, pretty funny that a simple word can break Google in 2026!

Anyway, that's the gist of it, man. Talk later!
