AI models are extremely bad at original thinking, so any thinking that is offloaded to a LLM is as a result usually not very original, even if they’re very good at treating your inputs to the discussion as amazing genius level insights.

Jump to about 6:25 in the video where she is describing the significant differences between open source software packages and “open source” AI models.

The employee, Mrinank Sharma, had led the Claude chatbot maker’s Safeguards Research Team since it was formed early last year and has been at the company since 2023.

While watching an animated YouTube video essay a few weeks ago, I suddenly realized that both the narrator’s voice and the visuals were AI-generated. This was not disclosed anywhere in the video description or credits.

Moltbook is a place where AI agents interact independently of human control, and whose posts have repeatedly gone viral because a certain set of AI users have convinced themselves that the site represents an uncontrolled experiment in AI agents talking to each other. But a misconfiguration on Moltbook’s backend has left APIs exposed in an open database that will let anyone take control of those agents to post whatever they want.

Of all the arguments put forth by the hype-bros for Generative AI, this one is perhaps the most perplexing. And it deserves serious scrutiny.

Excuse while I go spend the next several hours laughing my ass off as I picture every single analyst who ever said Apple was going to be steamrolled by (*checks notes*) ChatGPT. 🤣🤣🤣

The state of play in late 2025 and my expectation that the bubble will burst in 2026. The “Agentic Age” did not materialize this year. Anti-AI activism is heating up…people are noping the f out of the Torment Nexus . Gen-Z and Gen Alpha are turning against the slop machines. That’s AI! goes the new lingo. Microsoft’s AI CEO is getting pummeled online and a post-Windows PC landscape looking increasingly likely. This and a whole lot more, right here on Vibe Coded.

Strong leadership is sometimes required to keep Open Source projects vibrant. Yet there are many possible forms of effective governance, including—yes—democracy. By Jared White

I almost labeled this NSFW with all the circle jerking going on! 😂

SlopStop is Kagi’s community-driven feature for reporting low-quality, mass‑generated AI content (“AI slop”) found in web, image and video search results.

I think nobody wants AI in Firefox, Mozilla

Hot take: the killer feature of htmx which transforms it from a nice lil’ opinionated DSL for HTML-based reactivity to a powerhouse full-stack framework with which you can build ambitious, even experimental application architectures is this: Extensions.

“I think there’s a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit. It’s basically a bunch of centibillionaires whose greatest life goal is to become the world’s first trillionaires. I think they’re selling a bag of vapour,”’ said Vince Gilligan

This sort of flew right by me, but I’m very excited about this release of htmx because it adds support for parsing Declarative Shadow DOM. Now you can server-render web components & layouts in their full glory and use them in your pages and fragments! 🥳

Somebody shared this image on Bluesky (I'd link to their post but it's not available to public access).

In the continuing saga of us wanting the best web components DX ever without going all-in on a “prebundled” base class, here’s another exciting development!

As you know, here at That HTML Blog we're all about layering on lightweight and “vanilla-adjacent” tools to projects after you've fully outgrown native web APIs (and got sick of writing a ton of boilerplate 😏).

This is putting a BIG smile on my face today. 🤣

The same tired, clichéd arguments keep coming up over and over again why we should all welcome our new robot overlords, so I'm here to knock 'em all down and push back systematically…but most importantly, make the case for the #ProCraft Movement and how vital it is that we preserve and champion the historical & emotional components of Human Creativity.

This man has no self-awareness at all. No sense of shame. 🙃

A wonderfully-written sentiment from my favorite indie browser. 🥰

And this is why "AI" as a marketing term has proven to be so completely absurd. 😂

I’ve talked in length about the ethical quandaries surrounding generative AI, from the industrial-scale theft of intellectual property to the ways it harms both the natural as well as digital environments due to its extractive nature. But I also want to talk about the aesthetics of the slop output we have to contend with now on a regular basis, and I don’t just mean the political side of it—I and many others have been sounding the alarm that genAI lines right up with aesthetics of fascism . Rather, I want to explore the relationship between the slop machines and true art forms, and why we just aren’t seeing anything meaningful and lasting being produced using these problematic technologies.

Saw this on Hacker News, and…um, wow.

Cool interview of @mb21@hachyderm.io about his Mastro framework. Lots to like about this.

The CEO of Amazon Web Services also said cutting junior staff for AI could wreck future talent pipelines.

So cool! As soon as I can get my hands on this, I'll be publishing a review on The Internet Review . Very excited about this concept!

In this episode, I have a lively chat with Cory Dransfeldt about getting started as a web developer making band websites and his recent work on design systems, his passion for supporting creators and the preservation of craft, the ai.robots.txt open source project, what the GitHub CEO said ( note : we recorded this episode before he announced he was stepping down), releasing a music app for Navidrome, machines coming for our tattoos (!), and a whole lot more.

Over the past few years I’ve said on many occasions that signals, a reactive primitive popularized by many JavaScript frameworks and libraries (and most easy to pick up using the implementation by the Preact folks), makes it much easier to add declarative binding to your HTML using basic vanilla DOM techniques + signal effects.
