The Learning System
Controlling a complex system is rarely as effective as allowing it to self-organize: markets work better than planning committees; diverse ecosystems are more robust than monocultures. What would it mean to apply this idea to education?
A new version of ChatGPT now encrypts local chats, but this is still hilarious.
Z-Library admins escaped house arrest and "vanished into thin air" after judge approved U.S. extradition. Hope this is the very last news we will hear about them.

Insane Chrome changes: It will require you to explicitly specify why you need to download "dangerous files." Besides opening a page with three new reasons to choose, you need to take 3 extra steps to continue the download. The browser will now prompt users to explain why they are downloading a file flagged as "malicious."
1) The new protection algorithm includes an auto-open download list with a "dangerous download blocked" note for the blocked file.
2) Clicking it will display a few more details, again in the download list, without opening the full-page notification. Specially, you will see the reason why the file is being blocked.
The annoying change is that none of these options allow you to continue the download!
3) To get the file downloaded, you need to navigate to the menu and select the Downloads item. There, you will finally find the button to continue, but it will open a familiar full-page warning on the red background with three new options. The options require you to specify why you are downloading the file Chrome doesn't like. You can pick from:
I created this file.
I trust the site.
I'm willing to accept the risk
The addition of the "reason" selection looks pretty odd, as any of the options allow you to download the file, and the survey is just wasting your time.

Hooray! More censorship (but now it's for the sake of children's safety)!
Though it's not just "more" censorship this time, it's a complete disaster that would allow for limitless content control
