jp0001··on Mechanical Turk shutting down September 30
Not surprised and I’d like to see the effects of LLMs on offshoring of jobs to India. I’ve seen efforts to reduce headcount there after the release of Opus-4.6.
jp0001··on How Claude marks AI-generated content
You could flip bits in the font itself, but I'm really wondering how portable this is.
jp0001··on How Claude marks AI-generated content
OpenAI has been watermarking their images with C2PA for some time.
jp0001··on Our position on open-weights models
We need a seti@home for open weight models
jp0001··on Our position on open-weights models
Open weights are the future.
jp0001··on How to Write English Prose
The flatulence of text in that prose smells of rotting roses from an apology gone bad.
jp0001··on Who's afraid of Chinese models?
American models == Cars with no brakes. Chinese models == Cars with brakes that can't drive down tiananmen square.
jp0001··on Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence
I really don't see how the SaaS models will be profitable if this continues, all the money will be in providing consumers with hardware that can run these locally - with the ability to modify the weights and do your own ablation.
jp0001··on VulnHunter: Capital One's agentic AI code security tool
This is a sad. Makes me want to move my bank accounts.
jp0001··on Anthropic says Alibaba illicitly extracted Claude AI model capabilities
If they paid for the tokens, then is it really stealing or just learning?
jp0001··on I found 10k GitHub repositories distributing Trojan malware
I uploaded a sample found here (https://github.com/alexct142010-cell/McBackuper ) to Genus Codes (need an account): https://genuscodes.com/results/7ad4b911d05a12f91ab27ba3baa35... Seems to be related to the disco trojan family, by way of normalized function matching at 50% to malicious file https://genuscodes.com/results/eddbc29db4677e00c1a901aadbadb... and a normalized 50% match to https://genuscodes.com/results/fdb6cff68a2a8c08779d64a7cf61d...

jp0001··on Formal methods and the future of programming
Formal methods is like a plan. Everyone has one until they are punched in the face (real world requirements and trust boundaries).
jp0001··on Show HN: I built 80 mini-games using Fable before it was shut down
Gotta have a moat.
jp0001··on Show HN: I built 80 mini-games using Fable before it was shut down
Agree. If this was this was just "look at what Fable could do quickly" that's fine. But saying it's free for now is funny. Anyone else could just make games they want to play locally for themselves and their friends now. And there are better ones online.
jp0001··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
It's time to make truly open source frontier models that people can run at home. Code is free speech. We've been through this with encryption algorithms in the past.
jp0001··on Claude Fable 5
I asked it to write security tests for an app and I was downgraded to Opus 4.8. I'm approved for their cyber program!
jp0001··on Claude Fable 5
You should throw GPT into the mix to UX/UI and call it the three stooges.
jp0001··on Waymo pauses Atlanta service as its robotaxis keep driving into floods
My guess in the North East in the winter there will be similar stories.
jp0001··on First public macOS kernel memory corruption exploit on Apple M5
LLMs are going to produce amazing Rube Goldberg style vulnerabilities for years to come. It's already starting, this instance isn't the case, but it's happening.
jp0001··on Your Website Is Not for You
That website was not for me.
jp0001··on US special forces soldier arrested after allegedly winning $400k on Maduro raid
Count 1 and 2 makes sense. A good lawyer can get 3-5 thrown out in a plea deal.
jp0001··on You don't want long-lived keys
I'm still having problems trusting my compiler.
jp0001··on I cancelled Claude: Token issues, declining quality, and poor support
Max x20 user here. As long as Opus 4.6 is available and they fix Opus 4.7, I'll stay with Anthropic. Tho, I'd imagine in 5 years we'll have Opus 4.6 equivalent performance available in an at home consumer model.
jp0001··on Claude Opus 4.7
It's easier to produce vulnerable code than it is to use the same Model to make sure there are no vulnerabilities.
jp0001··on Claude Opus 4.7
WTF. `Opus 4.7 is the first such model: its cyber capabilities are not as advanced as those of Mythos Preview (indeed, during its training we experimented with efforts to differentially reduce these capabilities). We are releasing Opus 4.7 with safeguards that automatically detect and block requests that indicate prohibited or high-risk cybersecurity uses. `

Seriously? You're degrading Opus 4.7 Cybersecurity performance on purpose. Absolute shit.

jp0001··on Cybersecurity looks like proof of work now
I'm starting to think that Opus and Mythos are the same model (or collection of models) whereas Mythos has better backend workflows than Opus 4.6. I have not used Mythos, but at work I have a 5 figure monthly token budget to find vulnerabilities in closed-source code. I'm interested in mythos and will use it when it's available, but for now I'm trying to reverse engineer how I can get the same output with Opus 4.6 and the answer to me is more tokens.
jp0001··on SQLite in Production: Lessons from Running a Store on a Single File
I took three weeks off from tech, read books from last century, and travelled Europe. Coming back, reading LLM generated content and code feels like nails on a chalkboard. Taste, it does not have taste.
jp0001··on Cell Service for the Fairly Paranoid
Hold on. Cell towers still know where the device is. If a group of people in an area have stable ismi’s and one person’s ismi is rotating daily, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out who’s now using cape. Using it for travel makes sense, but again being a device that doesn’t a have an owner is, as the kids say, sus.
jp0001··on This is not the future
Mobile device updates are the worst for aging parents. These devices are getting more complex to use not easier, you shouldn't have to upend your life once a year because UX design choices forces you to miss what you think is important, how to find it, or disable/enable features you don't want or used to have.
jp0001··on Amazon has mostly sat out the AI talent war
Eh, looks at my aws bedrock bill, I think they are doing alright.
