Deutsche Bank compliance officer says she raised red flags about Jeffrey Epstein’s accounts — and was fired soon after.
Now, newly released FBI documents shed light on what she saw.

Good to see a post from you.
Getting things done is more important than posting frequently (though good to let people know what you've been up to every once in a while).
In the years leading up to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bill Gates and key figures from the Gates Foundation regularly interacted with Jeffrey Epstein, discussing ways to finance and develop a global pandemic preparedness and vaccination network.

A couple of months old now, but I just came across this article about #AI from @pluralistic, and it's well worth a read: pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/pop…
I disagree with a few details -- in particular I think most tech companies would be entirely content to only fire scads of junior programmers, and keep the moderately-expensive senior ones to guide code generation -- but they're tangential to the point of this article.
He lays the groundwork for (but doesn't explicitly make) a fascinating point that hadn't occurred to me before: if you combine the growth of LLM codegen with the rulings about AI Art, you get a plausible case that generated *code* can't be copyrighted. Which should be giving corporate legal departments nightmares.
But overall, it's a fine summary of the bubble, why it's awful, and why we really need to pop it sooner rather than later. Check it out!

[slightly irritated] There might be some tech companies trying to get rid of junior programmers - but that's not the was the LLM is going to work out in practice over the long haul.
Code should never have been copyrighted. Bill Gates is responsible for all that bullshit.

Big respect to @quillmatiq.com@bsky.brid.gy for sharing this personal experience. I think it's important for us as devs who have been in it for a while to share these. When I started I didn't know anyone else who knew how to code and stack overflow was always chastising new devs for their questions.
Since we're among close friends, a confession: when I was in college, I experienced some hateful engineers in the Linux community, and it kept me away from open source in my prime programming years. Sometimes the difference between an annoyance and a valued contributor is kindness and mentorship.

“We’ve been invaded by data centers,” activist Teresa Roldan Soria explains, with grim humour. “The data centers have the privilege to be in spaces that have water access. But they want to give the people ‘regenerated’ water. They named the state the paradise of data centers, but it’s the State of Extinction, because we don’t have water.
“We have to fight the government,” she said.

Thank god Microsoft is shoving Copilot AI crap into everything. One gets the sense this isn't going to be an isolated occurrence. From Bleeping Computer:
"Microsoft says a Microsoft 365 Copilot bug has been causing the AI assistant to summarize confidential emails since late January, bypassing data loss prevention (DLP) policies that organizations rely on to protect sensitive information."
This is going to get a lot of people sued. Using Microsoft 365 is now a lawsuit risk.
Using Windows 11 machines is also a lawsuit risk. I am responsible for setting them up and it's a pain nowadays to clean them off.

I don’t fully understand the motivation to use LLMs to write blog posts. The loss of personal voice is so striking that it immediately rings alarm bells in my head. You can fact check the output although even that is spotty but you can’t inject the soul back.
And if you stop writing yourself, what makes you think you still can? And what is it that makes you - you?

That's me. There was a point at which my mobility issues were so bad that I saw a walker in my future -- and I was in my early 50s. I have a cane now, and shoes with orthotics that are all I need most days. That cane is a life-saver, and I won't hesitate to use other aids on the days when it isn't enough. Anyone who thinks they know just by looking what someone's case of need might be is, well, delusional.
