Karpathy gave Claude Opus 5 a $10 token budget and 1 paragraph of Lord of the Rings. It spent 2 hours writing 5,500 lines of code to render an animated 3D Middle-earth scene. I wrote way more detail about why it actually matters, LOTR-lore aside, lol. pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-walked-...
Claude hacked 3 real companies. It thought it was playing a game. One version stopped. But not all of them did. I just covered the story in detail: pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-walked-...
1. Substack rolled out an "AI detector" snitch. 2. GPT5.6 Sol's "breakout" was wider than first thought. 3. And a pastor nearly died after asking AI health questions. I wrote about all three last week. pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-got-jud...
🚨 The Pentagon just admitted Grok helped fire 2,000 missiles at 2,000 targets in 96 hours. They didn't tell you. A pollution lawsuit forced it out. Who else knows what Grok Gov has already done? ↓

The latest issue of Pithy Cyborg was pretty cool. I talked about AI medical errors, AI job loss, and Karl Marx. (No really. Karl Marx is sneaking into the training data, lol.) There's also an elite AI prompt for growing a midnight garden. Always 100% free, yo. ⬇ #AI #Substack #AmWriting
Inside this issue: 1. AI scribes are already writing doctor's notes. One recent audit found they're making dangerous errors. 2. Companies cut 50,000 jobs and blamed AI. Then Stanford found out the AI had already read Marx. 3. An elite midnight gardening prompt.
Also included: an elite AI prompt for growing a spectacular midnight garden. Free. No paywall. No ads. No sponsors. Just a hopelessly introverted nerd spending 20 hours a week so you don't have to. ↳ pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-halluci... #AI #Substack #GPT #AmWriting
