New comment by evolve2k in "Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board"

evolve2k — Sun, 06 Sep 2026 13:06:25 +0000

As I understand it the whole time all the agents involved where running on their device and using up tokens internally.

It’s like having water start flooding the street frommmy building; yes the flooding is impacting outside the building but the tap is still very much onsite and clearly there are missing condole as these are not autonomous systems they are running initiated prompts that are coming from inside the building.

Apparently news of the rogue AI being “smart enough to break containment” has been helping to drive the stock price up on the indicator that this signals “they getting close to AGI”.

The negligence in that light is by design and the lying continues to be incentivised.

Anyone have any updates on why this device can’t support or get behind Graphene OS? A repairable and secure phone is my desired option for a phone that’s truely mine and I’m sure this is true for many others also.

From my understanding it’s not there as the Graphene team says that fairphone haven’t taken security hardware seriously and there’s key hardware security features missing that means they are not even interested to look at supporting the device.

Keen for latest updates on this, happy to be corrected.

Proton is activity enshitifying and has introduced dark patterns to their onboarding process. Suggest you deprecate them from your recommend list until they come clean and step away from this dirty business we’ve been seeing.

Trust eroding on proton sadly.

The multiple nudges just turned into a shove.

I’ll now be actively enacting plans to move on and be sure to support family and friends, even non tech savvy ones, to do the same.

When you think they can’t fall further, they do.

We’ve avoided nothing. This warning is literally coming before the debt has come due. The timeless warning of unpaid debt.

Watch the movie Two Hands for but one example.

Sooo… Big Upfront Design then. We already know why that didn’t work; nothing to do with the dev, this didn’t work because the users wants evolve and so code needs to be written to allow for flexible continuous improvement.

Having a BIOS update BRICK the device isnt 'just one issue', they clearly need to do more work to protect devices from this, they can choose what they add but the BIOS needs a safer fallback and recovery process, that much is clear.

Definitley worthy of even an extra $1-2 per laptop if needed.

New comment by evolve2k in "Wikimedia Foundation refuses union recognition, hires union-busting law firm"

evolve2k — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 12:29:56 +0000

At the conceptual level, unionising is simply a group of workers gathering into a group and saying we want to negotiate as a group. Usually this is done by workers to improve conditions and to have a better say when they’ve been being ignored or worse, poorly treated.

Union recognition is then the company accepting that the union exists and then agreeing to meet and engage with it.

Not accepting it, is usually a crappy corporate move in an attempt to not have workers collaborating together.

Lots of research shows that generally places where unions exist have better work conditions and perform better over the long term.

The US has lower union involvement than in many countries.
