Oof. Another tactic by hackers - paying off company insiders to get access to sensitive & proprietary information, within organisations such as Crowdstrike. It sounds like they were able to deal with it quickly & efficiently. Nice catch. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

I'm trying to avoid getting too attached to any particular #AI tool, including #LLMs, #IDE & #SDD tools. The industry is moving so fast with new releases that it's best to remain flexible. The key is to build your productivity workflows agnostically & be able to easily switch between tools.

#Cloudflare is experiencing a major network outage right now, affecting many services, including Twitter/X and other popular websites, primarily in London UK. The result is that those services are temporarily inaccessible. It doesn't seem to be affecting Bluesky 🎉 www.cloudflarestatus.com

#doordash have been hit with yet another data breach of sensitive user data. This is their 3rd known breach since 2019! This latest attack originated from social engineering of an employee, and sounds like a clear case of weak Access Control protocols. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

#Claude got hacked. Anthropic announced that a malicious hacking group has used #claudecode to carry out highly sophisticated agentic-driven Cyber espionage on large institutions. The level of sophistication is mind-blowing. Here are the details - www.anthropic.com/news/disrupt...

Language translation has long advanced since the early days of Google Translate, where you mistakenly said you were washing your face with cured ham. It has been given a further boost with Meta's new #ASR suite of models, supporting over 1,600 languages. ai.meta.com/blog/omnilin...

#ClaudeCode is a productivity powerhouse. It's not just for coding. There are plenty of non-technical use cases. With some creative thinking, it can provide a huge positive impact on your productivity. Here's some ideas on how people are using it - www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/everyone-s...

#AIAgent solutions provide so much capability for automation & streamlining productivity. But its a double-sided coin. They also provide great opportunity to hackers via #CUAs It's becoming critical to use #phishing-proof credentials such as #passkeys. www.csoonline.com/article/4086...

Application Security / #AppSec / #appsecurity is a key area in modern #CyberSecurity. Particularly with so many non-tech folk now building Web apps using #AI. If you're building apps I highly recommend reading the books by Tanya Janca @shehackspurple.bsky.social They have helped me a lot!

The Autonomous Vehicle sector has felt over-hyped & lacklustre for years, but don't underestimate its future impact. #Tesla announced its steering-wheel-free car, called #CyberCab, will enter mass production in April next year. The next few years will see a big drive in this sector (pun intended..)

Google Maps is becoming #AI interactive, with its recent integration of #Gemini, currently in early release in the US. I think it's one of those things that will become useful, but we'll need to change our existing habits on how we use Google Maps. blog.google/products/map...

#Anthropic has published an article about how to slash token usage with #AIAgent systems and direct Code Execution with #MCP. Using this method is far more cost/time efficient than the model calling out to external tools. Hopefully this benefits the users! www.anthropic.com/engineering/...

Having too many ideas running through your brain can become overwhelming. It's a great problem to have, but those thoughts need to be captured & organised, lest they be lost forever. Try mind-mapping 1. Set up a free Miro account 2. Use a Mindmap template 3. Organise your thoughts Game changer!

#CyberSecurity is a constant consideration in everything I do & the systems I build. Maybe to the point of paranoia! So I was very glad to see OpenAI's announcement about its new tool #Aardvark - an autonomous #AI Agent that scans code & can patch vulnerabilties. openai.com/index/introd...

#NVIDIA are charging ahead. On top of their recent record valuation & #6G announcements, they're doubling down on their 25 year #GeForce run in #Korea with local partnerships to produce & supply over 260k GPUs. Korea is planning to be an #AI powerhouse. blogs.nvidia.com/blog/korea-a...

Finally, #Nike have developed some conceptual #robotics footwear to help everyday athletes boost their performance. I certainly can't call myself an athlete, but if it helps to make daily exercising more fun, then count me in! about.nike.com/en/newsroom/...

So #NVIDIA is the first ever $5 Trillion market cap company to exist, a huge achievement. Their announcement of a $1 Billion investment in #Nokia shows their intent on Next Gen communication, and has potential to move the needle with #6G infrastructure. www.nokia.com/newsroom/nok...

The Internet was built for human eyes. But we're living in an era of bots, crawlers, and most recently, AI-driven search. Should we now be designing websites to be compatible for both humans & #AIAgents? I believe so. Lets customise our websites for the #Agentic Internet era.

Many #LLM & #AIAgent solutions now have connectors & #MCPs to link email accounts like Gmail, document storage like Google Drive & OneDrive. Easy & convenient integration, but personally I'm not comfortable with giving them access to that data. So I'm building my own privately hosted system instead

Spec-driven development is early stage & has huge potential. There are some interesting frameworks emerging that use #AgenticAI to build full stack Web applications based on pre-defined specs. I'm testing one now to build a Web app that solves a problem I'm facing, and it's going well so far

You know those creative ideas that pop into the back of your mind. Maybe you're out for a walk, & you start to see solutions to problems, ideas you could develop, things you could improve. Those fleeting thoughts. Note them down! Keep a thought log. Realise them. They may change your life one day

We have many #LLM options these days. Here's the key areas I use for each: #ChatGPT - coding & problem solving #Claude - coding & deep document analysis #Gemini - real-time Web info & creative writing #Grok - social media trends & insights #Perplexity - in-depth factual research

Reportedly #OpenAI is planning on releasing a range devices, likely due out 2026/27. Its intriguing to think what value they can bring to the use of #AI. It requires some imagination, but gives us some insight on how AI will be integrated into our future. www.theverge.com/news/781854/...

I think there's a difference between true AI Agency & advanced #workflow #automation. Some folks talk about workflow platforms as if they are #AIAgents at work, and whilst there are certainly shared characteristics, true #AgenticAI goes far beyond automation of workflows.
