And now, the hackers will be able to scan the repos for more vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities all the way down.

AI news and ESPN feels interchangeable sometimes.

I'm so glad Simon is documenting this. The field is evolving so fast, so rapidly, so hungry for data and money, that few are willing to zoom out and document everything big picture so we can see the changes over time. I mean do you guys remember "Do anything now"? Just a distant memory, a funny party trick.

I'm not sure why gh hasn't already implemented stricter measures / filters / tools for PRs. It would cut down on spam and also help save their servers that can't handle the increased AI load!

Back when I worked as a civil engineer I had a coworker named Joe. He was... I think 78. Poor guy didn't save up enough for retirement so he worked a bit part time. He knew the ins and outs of the field better than anyone, but had no idea how to use a computer (he marked up drawings and I put them into CAD). He mentioned this movie to me as AI (gpt) had just become a thing saying "it'll scare the hell out of you", and he recommended I watched it - I'm glad I did! Great guy, always told funny stories - "I was not a great dad but I was a damn wonderful grandpa!"

I might not necessarily agree with the haste / stability of this, but I commend Jarred for pushing boundaries on what AI coding is capable of, can't deny that. 4 years ago this would've seemed like science fiction.

How powerful will Opus become before they decide to not release it publicly like Mythos?

Sounds backwards to me.

Microsoft is collapsing under the weight of their own bloat.

Probably right now because they're keeping it for themselves?

I've been messing with using Claude, Codex, and Kimi even for reverse engineering at https://decomp.dev/ it's a ton of fun. Great because matching bytes is a scoring function that's easy for the models to understand and make progress on.

How do you guys manage regressions as a whole with every new model update? A massive test set of e2e problem solving seeing how the models compare?

This has happened before. It was called anon kode.

In light of these nonstop supply chain attacks: Tonight I created /supply-chain-audit -- A simple claude code skill that fetches info on the latest major package vulnerability, then scans your entire ~/ and gives you a report on all your projects.

It's a bit janky right now but I'd be interested to hear what people think about it.

I'm not hustling enough to be honest.

If simply saying "Hi, would you be interested in covering this?" characterizes me as an annoying hustler then you know what I'll take it.

I have a story with Benji.

Last year I went viral, and Benji was the first person to interview me. It was a really cool experience, we chatted via Twitter dms, and he wrote a piece about my work - overall did a decent job.

Then, 6 months later a separate project I was adjacent to was starting to pick up steam. I reached out to him asking if he wanted to cover us. No response.

Then, tech crunch wrote an article on our project.

I reached to Benji again saying "Hey would you like to chat again, now we have some coverage?" And he finally responded, but said he couldn't report on me because he had a directive that he could only report on things that didn't have any prior or pre-existing coverage (?)

I thought that was rather strange, especially since we already had built up a relationship.

I don't really have a moral or lesson to this story, other than that journalism can be rather opaque sometimes.

Oh one other tip for anyone reading this - if you do ever get reached out to by journalists, communicate in writing, not a phone call so you can be VERY precise in your wordings.
