We wanted to know how close to true it is. We downloaded the full history of 23 pieces of software that phones, browsers and servers depend on, and counted everyone who made ten or more changes to each one between October 2025 and October 2026. Then we listed what is actually installed on an Android phone, an iPhone and a Windows PC. 11 of 23 projects had one or two people doing the regular work.

The Wikimedia Foundation conducted its own investigation to see whether Wikimedia websites had been similarly affected by AI agents, focusing on those operated by OpenAI. We can confirm that we have discovered some activity by these “rogue” OpenAI agents on Wikimedia platforms. The unauthorized bot activities included edits to our wikis, some unsuccessful attempts to exploit a public note-taking tool we host, and heavy traffic, which are described more below.

Still, in a world in which technology has evolved to exploit our attention and addictions, it’s more critical than ever that you draw that line somewhere, take time for deep focus, and do things for your own sake.

Again: This is already the case. Whenever you play a video game (say, Elden Ring) and decide to ‘play it blind, unspoiled, and without looking anything up’, you are acknowledging that taking ’the hard way’ or having an ‘authentic experience’ is more important for you than raw success.

Don’t be a meat proxy, don’t get stuck in the feedscroller apps, and don’t cheat (at chess, at writing, or otherwise).

Viele Kleingärten sind ökologische Wüsten. Oft gibt es keine Nischen für brütende Vögel oder Insekten. Dort ist es mitunter sehr kahl und man kann deutlich mehr machen. Um solche Gärten klimatisch anzupassen, ist eine größere Dichte an Vegetation, also ein höheres Grünvolumen, das Stichwort.
