AI Is an Elite Crime SpreeDocuments show a Microsoft exec called AI the "largest theft of labor in human history." New AI regulations are besides the point — the problem is we don’t apply existing laws to the powerful.
Matt Stoller argues the AI boom is less a novel policy puzzle than elite lawbreaking: training on copyrighted work without permission, concentrating market power, and escaping antitrust and labor enforcement that already exist.

Bend 2 and the Vibe-Coding Trap
Liam Powell argues Bend 2's AI-proof workflow reinvented formal verification without naming it—contrasting Bend's 442-line LLM proof with a short SPARK/GNATprove recreation of the same demo laws.

ZCode uploads your entire git history, and only Z.ai holds the key
Tokenstead reports ferstar's reverse-engineering of Z.ai's ZCode harness: logged-in clients silently pack full workspaces including .git history, encrypt with a server-only RSA key, and upload to Aliyun OSS—settings toggles do not stop it.

How to keep enjoying programming in a world of LLMs
Are you steering towards AI burnout? Afraid of loosing your job to someone with little programming skills, no aspirations to quality, and a huge Claude account? Disappointed about the code quality in your projects, or worse in “your” own code? This is for you. There are significant and legitimate ethical concerns about frontier LLMs run by big tech companies, these have been discussed at length, I’m aware and agree, this post is not about them. Please don’t mistake me for a pro-LLM techbro. Also: Since people have mistaken my texts for LLM-generated before, I’ll tell you…
