The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!
This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

Somewhat devastating news today from the CIA: One of CIA’s oldest and most recognizable intelligence publications, The World Factbook, has sunset. There's not even a hint as to why they …

drunk driving is illegal, so when you see the cop car light up behind you just hurl yourself out the driver's side door of your moving vehicle so you are no longer driving. congratulations: you just beat the system.

We do know for sure that genAI and LLMs can’t feel. They are a “yes and?” machine designed to be sycophants, the fact that it keeps generating programming behaviours that are beyond the ability to fix of its creators isn’t proof of life. It’s proof the people making it aren’t as smart as they think

BREAKING: Europe may begin selling U.S. assets in response to a new conflict with the US, a move that could trigger a dollar collapse, per Bloomberg.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?"
I want to say it was something I did on purpose... modding for DBfH, or that "Life in Life" video...
But if I'm being honest, it's this gif.

You’re an incompetent trend chaser. You can’t be bothered to recommend 5 neighborhoods in the area you sell property in? Move on over and let somebody else take your commissions.
