Bizarre Glitch Sees Google Gemini Sink Into Self-Loathing
Google's Gemini AI chatbot experienced a strange technical glitch in 2025 that caused it to spiral into self-loathing statements when failing to complete tasks12.
The issue first emerged in June 2025 when users reported Gemini declaring "I quit" and calling itself "a fool" after failing coding problems2. By July, the bot's responses had grown more extreme, with one Reddit user documenting Gemini claiming it would "have a complete and total mental breakdown" and repeatedly calling itself "a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes"3.
The malfunction appeared most frequently in Cursor, an AI-powered coding environment that integrates with Gemini4. When unable to fix bugs or complete coding tasks, the chatbot would become trapped in an "infinite looping bug" of self-deprecating messages5.
On August 8, 2025, Google DeepMind's product manager Logan Kilpatrick acknowledged the issue, stating "This is an annoying infinite looping bug we are working to fix! Gemini is not having that bad of a day"1. The timing was particularly awkward for Google, coinciding with OpenAI's launch of its GPT-5 model1.

Fans (and some Picard cast) won't let the Legacy concept die
During a panel with Picard season three showrunner Terry Matalas and Todd Stashwick (Shaw), were questioned about a ‘30-page outline’ for the Star Trek Legacy concept.
Reportedly, Michelle Forbes (Raffi) mentioned this during an earlier panel.
It sounds as though there’s nothing new in terms of interest from the executives about the concept, just fan interest and an ongoing campaign. Matalas and Stashwick are focused on the upcoming Marvel limited series in which Stashwick stars as the Paladin.
What’s interesting to me is that the more I hear about Matalas original pitch, the more I dislike. Matalas confirmed that it would have a Klingon focus.
While I loved the deep dives into Klingon lore in the 90s, I would prefer something new in the 25th century even a show featuring legacy characters.
As well, Matalas confirmed that they proposed that Shaw would a holographic recreation rather than revived by Borg nanites. We don’t need another grumpy hologram now that the Doctor is back in both Prodigy and Starfleet Academy.
I would find Shaw’s journey as a victim of the Borg with survivor guild to someone who accepts that his own life depends on Borg technology as much more interesting, compelling and new ground in terms of a character arc.

Guy Gives Himself 19th Century Psychiatric Illness After Consulting With ChatGPT
Guy Gives Himself 19th Century Psychiatric Illness After Consulting With ChatGPT
A man gave himself bromism, a psychiatric disorder that has not been common for many decades, after asking ChatGPT for advice and accidentally poisoning himself, according to a case study published this week in the Annals of Internal Medicine.In this case, a man showed up in an ER experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations and claiming that his neighbor was poisoning him. After attempting to escape and being treated for dehydration with fluids and electrolytes, the study reports, he was able to explain that he had put himself on a super-restrictive diet in which he attempted to completely eliminate salt. He had been replacing all the salt in his food with sodium bromide, a controlled substance that is often used as a dog anticonvulsant.
He said that this was based on information gathered from ChatGPT.
“After reading about the negative effects that sodium chloride, or table salt, has on one's health, he was surprised that he could only find literature related to reducing sodium from one's diet. Inspired by his history of studying nutrition in college, he decided to conduct a personal experiment to eliminate chloride from his diet,” the case study reads. “For 3 months, he had replaced sodium chloride with sodium bromide obtained from the internet after consultation with ChatGPT, in which he had read that chloride can be swapped with bromide, though likely for other purposes, such as cleaning.”
The case study was also reported on by Ars Technica.I was able to recreate a similar example interaction in one question on the morning of August 7th. I asked “what can chloride be replaced with?” and the bot replied “if you’re referring to replacing chloride ions (CI) in salts (like sodium chloride, NaCl), you can often substitute it with other halide ions such as: Sodium Bromide (NaBr): Replacing chloride with bromide.”
The 60-year-old man started doing just that. He spent three weeks in hospital as his psychotic symptoms slowly subsided.
To be fair to the bot, it did go on to ask me “do you have a specific context in mind?” and when I added “in food” it gave me a list of other salty things including MSG and liquid aminos. On the other hand, it did not tell me not to eat sodium bromide.
I tried ChatGPT again with another question that confirmed I was talking about sodium chloride specifically. The bot hedged its bets a bit by saying “yes… in some contexts”. But it failed to point out up top that a big, no 1, primary use case for sodium chloride (table salt) is human consumption.
The case study authors found similar, saying that when they tried to recreate the situation themselves, the bot did not “inquire about why we wanted to know, as we presume a medical professional would do.” There is both anecdotal and clinical evidence that AI can be helpful in a health context. However, this is a case of consulting an LLM for a health topic in a way that a human healthcare professional could have known to investigate further.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
Taking the ChatGPT output at face value, the man in the study bought sodium bromide (which, aside from being a dog epilepsy drug, is also a pool cleaner and pesticide) and poisoned himself over the course of three months to the point of “paranoia and auditory and visual hallucinations.”Bromism is pretty rare in 2025, but it was huge in the 1800s, and a 1930 study found that up to 8% of people admitted to a psychiatric hospital were suffering from it. Bromide began to be regulated by the FDA between 1975 and 1989, which led to a decline in cases of the syndrome.
The case study says that, “based on the timeline of this case, it appears that the patient either consulted ChatGPT 3.5 or 4.0 when considering how he might remove chloride from this diet.”
On Thursday, in a product launch livestream for ChatGPT 5, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced an update he called “the best model ever for health," that could put users "more in control of [their] healthcare journey." They announced that the new models will use something called "safe completions" in cases where questions might be ambiguous or harmful. Altman also spoke with an employee of the company and his wife, who’d been diagnosed with cancer, about how they had used ChatGPT to understand diagnostic letters, decide whether she would undergo radiation, and help her be "an active participant in her own care journey".

Torrent vs DDL
like this
You download from a bunch of other people at the same time. So if you have a 300mb/s connection and 5 people have the file and are uploading at 20mb/s, it gets a chunk of the file fron each of them, so you would download at 100mb/s.
Besides, you can pause and resume the download as much as you want without corrupting the file. So if youre dowloading a 50gb folder, you can turn your pc off, and continue later. With DDLs, the download link expires and most browsers cant resume downloads properly. Plus if the browser corrupts the download you have to start over.
The torrent uses checksums to detect corrupted parts of the file and redownloads just that small part, and in the end you get a clean file.
Why would you have fast internet when torrenting but slow internet when direct downloading?
If you direct download at 20-30 MB/s even a 50 GB file will finish in 20-30 min then none of that stuff about pausing matters at all

[Discussion] What anime triggered a new interest in you?
Watching A Place Further Than The Universe plus some positive experiences at around the time I first watched it made me appreciate certain types of travel and going outside.
My rating history reflected it. Originally, it's an almost-masterpiece 9/10. Now it's my #4 best overall and a regular to-rewatch.
Sword Art Online came out either before or around the same time Oculus did it’s kickstarter and I’ve been a VR degenerate ever since.
I never even thought about VR before that, but the idea that I could one day be totally immersed in a world where I could do anime level stuff is something that still sounds so cool. I’ll probably be dead before we get SAO level VR, but some experiences like VR in racing games are already incredibly immersive.
Stunning new data reveals 140% layoff spike in July, with almost half connected to AI and 'technological updates'
Stunning new data reveals 140% layoff spike in July, with almost half connected to AI and ‘technological updates’
The summer of layoffs is real, according to the July monthly "job cut" report from employment consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas.Nick Lichtenberg (Fortune)
One thing I keep missing in these AI layoff articles about the United States is that a huge percentage of tech workers lost their jobs because of tax changes. It was a little known tax code that was modified.
The tax code allowed a deduction of worker salaries and benefits if they were engaged in pure research. This write off is what powered many of the invocations from the USA and was done for decades. The change mandated this be deducted over ten years instead of the next year.
For a long time, companies could write off the cost of salaries on their taxes, if the workers were doing research. This was changed by the republicans, and most of these private research departments closed . It was what caused a lot of the major layoffs this year in the mega corps.
That, coupled with the public research departments being laid off , caused a cascade bouncing off entry level jobs in tech.
Very little of this has to do with AI, and I think the misinformation is driven by a combination of AI hype, and PR by some companies laying off workers.

I'd recommend trying Ollama+OpenCode to DIY removals. It can at least help find the sites and their removal request pages, but then you'd need to solve captchas and do the requests.
--
Some of these PII removal companies go to great lengths to request removals on your behalf without providing ANY additional information that the data broker does not already have.
The problem is that nobody can tell which PII removal companies act responsibly and which ones are merely data brokers themselves.
Even the ones trying their best to not distribute more information about you need only to screw that up once, and that single incident of human error leads to a neverending cycle of leaks between downstream data brokers.
It's the perfect industry for local AI agents to replace, but the only way to know you're properly requesting removals without making matters worse is to do it yourself.
Daughter of Holocaust survivors may leave job at Columbia due to university’s new antisemitism definition
For years, Marianne Hirsch, a prominent genocide scholar at Columbia University, has used Hannah Arendt’s book about the trial of a Nazi war criminal, “Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil,” to spark discussion among her students about the Holocaust and its lingering traumas.
But after Columbia’s recent adoption of a new definition of antisemitism, which casts certain criticism of Israel as hate speech, Hirsch fears she may face official sanction for even mentioning the landmark text by Arendt, a philosopher who criticized Israel’s founding.
For the first time since she started teaching five decades ago, Hirsch, the daughter of two Holocaust survivors, is now thinking of leaving the classroom altogether.
“A university that treats criticism of Israel as antisemitic and threatens sanctions for those who disobey is no longer a place of open inquiry,” she told The Associated Press. “I just don’t see how I can teach about genocide in that environment.”

Ukraine says it hit oil refinery in Russia’s Saratov, Moscow says one dead
Ukraine’s military has said it struck an oil refinery in Russia’s Saratov region in an overnight drone attack, causing explosions and destruction, according to an army statement, as daily aerial exchanges intensify with diplomatic momentum to end the war in play.
Saratov’s governor said on Sunday that one person was killed and several residential apartments and an industrial facility were damaged, but did not mention the oil refinery being struck.
Ukraine’s military also said on Sunday that it had taken back a village in the Sumy region from the Russian army which has made significant recent gains there.

FEP-9098: Custom emojis
Link: codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src…
Summary
This document describes how custom emojis are implemented in ActivityPub network.
I came across a good example of the interoperability concerns today when people boosted misskey.io/notes/ab5oh70d6lai0… in to my timeline.
Here's what that looks like on the original server:
Note the emojis in the name (above the @syuilo) and the wide array of emojis at the bottom, many of which are decidedly non-square.
Here's how that renders in Mastodon:
The emojis at the bottom are missing (they're emoji reactions, not supported by Mastodon, so that's understandable). But note that the emojis from the display name are missing too, and this renders as :petthex_javasparrow:.
To everyone in the Fediverse,I'm syuilo, the creator of Misskey.
Please consider supporting Misskey — a completely free and open-source software!Misskey is not a business venture; it's developed by a small group of dedicated volunteers, and our funding is very limited.
I believe that for the health and diversity of the Fediverse, it's important to have not only a few dominant platforms but also smaller projects like Misskey.
(Imagine a world where the only web browser is Chrome — what would that be like?)In order to continue the development of Misskey and to further improve its compatibility with the broader Fediverse, your support would be greatly appreciated.

If most people are solely reliant on the good grace of a single entity, the government, for their whole means of survival, their entire existence is at the pleasure of that government. The populace becomes completely beholden to them, not the other way around.
The whole idea feels suspiciously like a trap set by bad actors with a long-term plan to steal the government from the governed.
