Debates over AI consciousness are a trap
“Runaway” AI, “rogue” agents, and “autonomous” actors—the current rhetoric would have you believe that AI agents are not only awake and aware, but angry at their creators. Prominent tech leaders such as Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei, and Sam Altman push for regulation of these seemingly “superhuman” systems, while a separate faction, led by policy organizations…

Ukrainian publishers call for support after Russian attacks destroy 10m books
The country risks ‘the collapse of the entire book ecosystem’ following destruction of warehouses in July and August, say Ukrainian publishers The Ukrainian Book Institute has called on the international publishing community to support Ukrainian publishers after Russian attacks in July and early August destroyed about 10m books and a significant share of the country’s book production capacity. The institute said the attacks on publishing, printing and warehouse infrastructure had left some companies at risk of financial collapse. A major attack on 1 August hit warehouses belonging to the RNK-Ranok publishing group in Kharkiv, destroying approximately 8m books, following July attacks in Kyiv which led to the loss of more than 1.5m books. In all, the recent attacks have led to the destruction of approximately 30% of the volume of books produced annually in Ukraine. Continue reading...
A shot-scraper-style JSON API on Bun 1.4's new Bun.WebView
Research: A shot-scraper-style JSON API on Bun 1.4's new Bun.WebView Today saw the long awaited release of Bun 1.4 , the first stable version since the infamous Rust rewrite a few months ago . Interestingly, the Rust rewrite was downplayed in the release notes, which introduced a bewildering array of new features and claimed 2,900 additional bug fixes: Bun 1.4 adds +1,517 tests from the Node.js test suite - our biggest jump in Node.js compatibility since Bun 1.0. Bun v1.4 also fixes over 2,900 issues. It reduces idle CPU usage by 5x, reduces memory usage by up to 35%, and starts 50% faster on Linux. It adds Bun.Image , Bun.WebView , Bun.markdown , Bun.cron() , Bun.Terminal , bun run --parallel , bun test --parallel , bun audit fix , bun dedupe , and bun prune . And it rewrites Bun from Zig to Rust. Of these the one that most caught my eye was Bun.WebView , which adds first class support for browser automation to Bun core using either macOS WebKit or control of a local Chromium process via the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). I had Claude Code for web build a prototype of a web API providing the ability to load a web page and then execute JavaScript against it, inspired by my shot-scraper javascript CLI tool - partly to see how much RAM would be needed by such a service. Here's that TypeScript server implementation , which appears to need a 192MB-256MB container to run a full Chrome against complex web pages - tested using cgroups.
