the writers of hey mickey have a writing credit on it, but the ting tings got shafted.
of course it is one in a long tradition of tech-tangential songs, including this banger about the inevitable collapse of tech bubbles
This is extremely tangential to the areas of sneer interest, but seeing as this is the only technology related community I am in, I’m putting it here.
This song has been making the rounds on the charts/social media and I refuse to believe that it isn’t about the package management tool apt
Me when I code bad: PR knocked back.
AI when code bad: gigajillion dollars. Melted ice caps. CEOs fire their staff
I hate that I read this. This kind of thing only seems convincing to someone who already believes the core hypothesis (IQ and race science real), but for someone of the correct opinion (IQ and race science not real), it's total garbage.

Abstracted abstract: >Frontier models are increasingly trained and deployed as autonomous agents, which significantly increases their potential for risks. One particular safety concern is that AI agents might covertly pursue misaligned goals, hiding their true capabilities and objectives – also known as scheming. We study whether models have the capability to scheme in pursuit of a goal that we provide in-context and instruct the model to strongly follow. We evaluate frontier models on a suite of six agentic evaluations where models are instructed to pursue goals and are placed in environments that incentivize scheming.
