• The US government has ordered that all AIs competing for government contracts must be viewpoint neutral - that is, abandoning the DEI bullshit that infests all AI models.  (Tech Crunch)
  
  The DEI crowd is big mad:

  As Rumman Chowdhury, a data scientist, CEO of the tech nonprofit Humane Intelligence, and former U.S. science envoy for AI, put it, "Anything [the Trump administration doesn't] like is immediately tossed into this pejorative pile of woke."

  Stop being woke then.

  Mark Lemley, a law professor at Stanford University, told TechCrunch the executive order is "clearly intended as viewpoint discrimination, since [the government] just signed a contract with Grok, aka 'MechaHitler.'"

  Big mad.
  
  

• If you're using the NPM package Stylus, well, now you're not.  (Bleeping Computer)
  
  NPM took it down.
  
  Apparently one of the maintainers also published a proof-of-concept security vulnerability, and that led to Stylus being taken down without warning.
  
  And that - because this is how NPM works - means that no application that relies on Stylus directly or indirectly can be built.
  
  Unless you go fetch it from GitHub.  That still works.
  
  
  
• Over 400 organisations including the Department of Energy have been breached while waiting for a Microsoft Sharepoint patch.  (The Register)
  
  Oops.
  
  
  

Still Not Tech News

At this point is quicker to list the people that VShojo hasn't screwed over.

Still not a peep out of the senior management.  It looks like they ran out of money a year ago and have been shuffling deckchairs ever since.
