An electric cloud with quantum effects that we also don’t fully understand. There will always be a layer deeper that we just do not know the effects of or what actually exists there or “under there”.

Billions of people on the planet, and not a single one of them would offer to do it?

Yeah then you can version lock changes to one thing post-evaluation vs or even easier as noted above, download the stdlib and host it yourself.

I think we are stuck with LLMs. They are already in a place where they can find these issues in the first place. They can access RSS feeds. You could cron an agent to look to see if you are pwned as frequently as you want at literally almost zero cost. When you do ingest the libraries, keep a list and of what version and that can help as well.

It’s all about tooling, if the ai can fetch data it can do something rad with it. Use something like an ai harness to have an mcp server and other tooling to improve the harness and the tools I made this for my own learning: GitHub.com/ralabarge/beigebox

Check out github.com/ralabarge/beigebox -- OSS AI Harness, started as a way to save all of my data but has agentic features, MCP server, point it at any endpoint (or use any front end with it as well, transparent middleware)

So far what I am finding is that you just get the basics working and then use the tool and inference to improve the tool.

YMMV but Grok 4.1 Fast can usually find via static analysis a few things that other models dont seem to catch with the same prompt

The more I work with AIs (I build AI harnessing tools), the more I see similarities between the common attention failures that humans make. I forgot this one thing and it fucks everything up, or you just told me but I have too much in my mind as context that I forget that piece, or even in the case of Claude last night attesting to me while I am ordering it around that it cannot SSH into another server but I find it SSHing into said server about the 5th time I come back with traceback and it just fixes it!

All of these things human do, and i don't think we can attribute it directly to language itself, its attention and context and we both have the same issues.

Not sure, I've seen common things like this pop up a lot too, the same errors being tripped over. I'm not sure if it is a context thing or just a limitation of how the models work presently? For stuff that I'm using myself, I will run these through like the top 10 reasoning models on OR and just see where everything pans out.

Edit: here is an example of the process and output with something I put together the other day: https://github.com/RALaBarge/garlicpress/blob/master/portfol...

Hey I ran this request through my AI harness (beigeboxoss.com), first with a smaller local model and then validated with Trinity Large via OR. https://github.com/agberohq/keeper/issues/2 -- YMMV but wanted something to do with my coffee, thanks!

Exploits in embedded systems that will never be properly updated is just one thing I can think of if one really thought about it.

I need to start SaaS for getting people to start doing lunges and squats so they can carry others around on their back, I need a founding engineer, a founding marketer, and 100m hard currency.
