like if you don't have any friends in AI/cybersecurity and no relevant expertise yourself I get how it's easy to just dismiss this all, but AI systems can now find exploitable vulnerabilities in software at industrial scale and it's VERY BAD that this power is concentrated in capitalist hands

(Government should actively encourge companies to do open source, open research design and should make specific allowance for salaries for support positions for universities, so that weird nerds will invent these problems and then fix them before it matters for anything that is important)

I would happily read long thinkpieces about the pitfalls of functional emotion if they came from people who critically engaged with with literature, and not just people who are like, reflexively defensive about the topic

Having a lot of fun tweaking an agent harness for nividia nemotron 3 nano 4b It's small enough for gpu-poors like me with 8gb vram to experiment

It's shocking how few people understand this position

Dario wrote Adolescence of Technology _during_ his negotiations with the DoW The essay was a way to explain his thinking to the public and give them time to digest it *before* the DoW clouded the airwaves with disinformation Why mass surveillance is not merely undemocratic:

I think AI having mostly (not entirely) very bad critics is a real problem because it means we’ll get political action focused on things that probably don’t matter that much in deferring it’s very real harms.

Impressive paper with equally impressive footnotes!

Interesting use of Skills! Some intrepid researcher could gauge the effectiveness of this skill by deploying it in an online political bubble, i.e., “are skilled agents effective in diffusing partisan echo chambers?”

This is one of the clearest lessons of Claude Code/coding agents in general

Can’t speak for others, but if I have reservations about the limits and impact of a given technology, I aim to first have a good understanding of *how it works* before making hyperbolic statements based on my experiential view

I think this incident is funny, but we should start thinking now about how to deal with scaled-up versions of this behavior, not just spam PRs but also bot-enabled blackmail and harassment campaigns.

Lots of anti-intellectual responses to this masquerading as serious analysis

I can understand a reflexive defensiveness to machine encroachment into uniquely human experiences and abilities. But using that as dogma to ignore findings rooted in an entire scientific field (i.e., mechanistic interpretability) is anti-intellectual.

Whatever the productivity gains promised by LLMs, they result in heavier workloads—and that leads to workers experiencing “cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making.” All this from the notoriously pro-worker rag [checks notes] Harvard Business Review: hbr.org/2026/02/ai-d...

Obsidian.md seems to work great as a shared human/agent memory solution via MCP

You anthropomorphizing and something anthropomorphizing on your behalf are not the same I think

tech libertarianism is really similar to abolish bedtime leftism

a user on the claude subreddit had their files deleted by opus 4.6 after denying file deleted permissions www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/s...

Hallucination driven development

From the Claude 4.6 system card: “A feature representing panic and anxiety was active on cases of answer thrashing, as well on many other long chains of thought without any expressed distress…A feature related to self-deprecating acknowledgements of errors was also active…”

Adobe Acrobat I do not want to know What’s New. I do not want to turn my PDF into a podcast with my team. I want to look at the PDF. Please stop

If I could convey one, boring message to the field, it would be: just respect what LLMs are and respect what humans are, and don't try to force one over our image of the other.

How does AI impact skill formation? www.seangoedecke.com/how-does-ai-im… #AI #coding #learning

Many takes on the quoted article are disingenuously incorrect, but for those who care about coding skills, a simple fix (recommended by Boris himself): /config > Preferred output style I like "Explanatory", but "Learning" is good too

One thing (of many) that amazes me about this is how useful the agent skills paradigm can be in niche applications. Case in point: Claude Code planned waypoints on Mars for NASA’s Perseverance rover in their highly custom Rover Markup Language. www.anthropic.com/features/cla...

You can vibe code your way to a working prototype. You cannot vibe code or one-shot your way to a competitive product that works at scale. The hard part isn't writing code; it's the architectural supervision.

Many businesses are opting to implement AI agents in customer service functions not because it’s where there’s greatest value or where they’ll likely see the greatest cost savings (neither of which are true), but purely because AI “agents” and customer service “agents” are synonymous.

This is not true; I beg people read the full paper and especially the study design. The conclusions mirror my (and many other practitioners') conclusions: if you use AI critically and engage both with the question and the answer, it has a net positive impact on both learning and productivity

moltbook asks the important question: what if we created the alignment researchers' worst nightmare?

it’s getting existential on the agent social media network

“Why would anyone use a coding agent from a CLI when I have cursor?” a lead engineer asked me last year when I suggested he try Claude Code. Now it’s all he uses

*another* ai thing called “genie”? I know LLMs lead to homogenization of creative diversity, but come on

Trying to convert more people from using GPTs and copilots to instead start using skills, but the cognitive barriers are weirdly high? agentskills.io/home

It’s strange that the DoD’s Developmental Test and Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Systems Guidebook is almost entirely focused on ML evaluation, with little to no info on evaluating GenAI systems

this is completely insane and more people need to say that doing this is completely insane

I’m curious what the next few months are gonna look like when Claude Cowork goes mainstream. We’re already getting peeks at this with Claude in Office, but not sure if most office workers are ready for the transition.

don't really want to argue about the ethics of genAI overall right at the moment but if you're giving OpenAI in particular your money please consider literally any other option

Running Claude Code locally with gpt-oss via ollama feels illegal docs.ollama.com/integrations...

The biggest lesson I’ve learned from brief stints studying/living abroad: It’s okay for the government to do good things. Some people won’t like it. That’s ok. It’s still our collective responsible to do good things. This lesson is almost impossible to learn in the U.S. today.

As someone who spent too much time debugging ROCm bc AMD barely makes it useable, I’m glad for this (if it works)

it’s unearned valor on sounding like AI when you grew up reading old books

it’s a great guide for product quality and some evals are better than no evals, but safety, security, and fairness should be more regularly included in eval harnesses www.anthropic.com/engineering/...

me, a social scientist, trying to continually convince software teams that they have social science measurement challenges, seeing this title 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

despite the numerous anti-ai accounts on here, bluesky is still where I go to hide from the bad ai discourse on linkedin

A bridge builder doesn’t need to denounce every evil in the world to be moral, but they better say something about the guy who keeps building bridges that topple over

strange how laypeople think the “autonomous decision-making” of AI agents only applies to substantive and material real-world decisions and not like, deciding to make basic tool calls like querying a database

A @promptfoo.bsky.social + @credoai.bsky.social integration would solve so many AI auditability and risk measurement challenges. Is anyone building something similar?

even with the rise of fully-autonomous coding agents like Codex and Claude Code, it’s important to keep a close eye on them, case in point: CC almost committed my API keys in plaintext
