There is a European-owned place called Aisle that is doing world class security bug finding. Beating Mythos even. But no one in Europe likes talking up our own talent. Been trying to get them mentioned in Dutch news, but all we can do apparently is promote US tech. aisle.com/blog/aisle-d...

GLM-5.2 passes my tire kick; it is roughly Opus 4.7-4.8 level as advertised. Open source is approximately two months behind closed, if considering the Opus series, and call it 4-5 if we count Mythos/Fable.

alright friends and computationists, what are the signals you pick up on that make you think a team has high engineering discipline? (whatever "high" means to you) i'm not talking science or evidence. i'm talking casual conversation, heuristics, no evidence whatsoever, just radar. what trips it?

What Europe should do right now: 1. Call all the European researchers working on AI and return them back with same salary (or they can stay but switch career). 2. Fill EU places having GPUs with money, and put those people there. 3. AI partnerships with China + India.

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Hackers Simply Asked Meta AI to Give Them Access to High-Profile Instagram Accounts. It Worked

The exploit shows the extreme risk of offloading technical support to AI.

Oh interesting, people who don’t know how to build software are getting mad at my post about building software. Cute. Let me be clear, over the next year, the job of software engineer will shift dramatically to no longer have typing syntax into an editor as its primary time sink.

Acabo de escuchar un anuncio de Sumup por la radio. Parece que ahora se vende el TPV hasta en grandes superficies! Me ha traído el recuerdo de un proyecto que hice para una startup en 2016 integrando el TPV en una app de iPad para alquilar pádel surf. Llegamos a reportar issues y a…
