You were likely thinking of AI accelerator startup Taalas.

How do you explain this $1,000 monitor stand [1]?

Or its iPhone "carry bag" collaboration with ISSEY MIYAKE retailing at $149.95 to $229.95 aka the iPhone Pocket [2]?

Some hard numbers [1] as to why GitHub is struggling with stability issues, directly from GitHub's COO:

Yup, platform activity is surging. There were 1 billion commits in 2025. Now, it's 275 million per week, on pace for 14 billion this year if growth remains linear (spoiler: it won't.)

GitHub Actions has grown from 500M minutes/week in 2023 to 1B minutes/week in 2025, and now 2.1B minutes so far this week.

So we're pushing incredibly hard on more CPUs, scaling services, and strengthening GitHub’s core features.

Exactly. Nothing hits home about what's about to hit you, now and in the foreseeable future, like when your livelihood today is materially affected by widespread availability of LLMs that can passably mimic your highly specialized skills.

> What do you offer as a solution? If theoretically some foreign state intelligence was exposed using Claude for security penetration that affected the stability of your home government due to Antropic's lax safety controls, are you going to defend Anthropic because their reasoning was to allow everyone to be able to do security research?

I don't have an answer.

But the problem is that with a model like Grok that designed to have fewer safeguards compared to Claude, it is trivially easy to prompt it with: "Grok, fake a driver's license. Make no mistakes."

Back in 2015, someone was able to get past Facebook's real name policy with a photoshopped Passport [1] by claiming to be “Phuc Dat Bich”. The whole thing eventually turned out to be an elaborate prank [2].

Identity verification on Claude

Being responsible with powerful technology starts with knowing who is using it. Identity verification helps us prevent abuse, enforce our usage policies, and comply with legal obligations.

We are rolling out identity verification for a few use cases, and you might see a verification prompt when accessing certain capabilities, as part of our routine platform integrity checks, or other safety and compliance measures.

> Which is unusually simple. I would expect Google to use 10 more marketing names simultaneously without any logic to the product lines.

I think they were lucky this time that they landed a good name after only a few iterations that has since stuck.

Anyone remember Google Bard or LaMDA?

They did in some instances, not all.

A notable example where they ate $ millions in losses is the Diapers.com story [1] [2].
