The US Government’s Anthropic Models Ban Was Never About an AI Jailbreak
TechCrunch’s Zack Whittaker argues that the U.S. government’s abrupt export-control order forcing Anthropic to pull its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models offline was “never about an AI jailbreak” threat.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks!
On the AI changelog part, though, I’d rather recommend to just not have a changelog at all.
I’m afraid that ship has sailed. You can rest assured that someone who uses AI/LLMs for their code (which is almost everybody at this point) will most certainly also use it for changelogs.
I actually considered not mentioning AI output at all, because this just opens a huge can of worms … 😞
While going through these terrible GitHub release pages, I also found these “New Project Contributors” sections
Yeah, they play on a nerd’s pride.
Now, it’s just the same auto shitshow with MR titles in a rolling date-versioned release scheme. It’s just our team who has to deal with that, though. I think I’m the only one who is not a fan of it.
I’ve found that this whole situation is much worse at work than it is in the Free Software world. At work, it’s literally work and hardly anybody actually cares. We still don’t have all people convinced that writing good commit messages or using good branch names is worth the time. It’s … oh god, no, I’m going to stop here, this is bad for my mental health. 😅
Suffice it to say, all release notes at work are now AI-generated. Nobody gives a fuck.
Applied AI-Team: Metas KI-Umbau macht Tausende Entwickler zu Statisten
Der Meta-Konzern opfert Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit für seine KI-Ambitionen. Mit spürbaren Folgen. ( KI, Mark Zuckerberg)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, great timing! :-D I love your article and agree with almost all your points.
On the AI changelog part, though, I’d rather recommend to just not have a changelog at all.
Another important thing for me is the deprecation notice section. What do I need to look out for in the future? Should I start to migrate to another API soon? Even right now? Or does it have time?
While going through these terrible GitHub release pages, I also found these “New Project Contributors” sections (yeah, for that, they found the time to make a section) annoying. Don’t get me wrong, sure, credit where credit is due. But come on. Soooooo much space for an inefficiently formatted (and also unsorted) list. At least it was easy enough to skip over it.
And then, there are also these changelogs or rather notice documents in general that are infested with multicolored emojis all over the place. My brain’s spam filter kicks in and shoves everything to /dev/null immediately. It’s especially a thing at work.
In my previous work project, we also used the Keep A Changelog Format. That was great. You wouldn’t believe how often I resorted back to that document. At least twice a week, often several times a day. I was very glad that we put in this effort. Of course, writing the changelog took its time, but it was worth every minute and more. Reading a many months old item, it was immediately clear. I was our best customer in that regard.
Now, it’s just the same auto shitshow with MR titles in a rolling date-versioned release scheme. It’s just our team who has to deal with that, though. I think I’m the only one who is not a fan of it.
