The agent promised 2 order updates. Made 1. Reported 2.
All 4 baseline τ-bench conversations completed both updates. A Kashikoi simulation exposed the omission.

Run, do not walk, from any cloud provider who is throwing public shade at Railway (or any other provider). The better your security team is, the more internal pressure you have not to mouth off about security in Q4 2026.

I’m #hiring an individual contributor for a fully remote, global role at the intersection of vulnerability research, exploit development, and ML/AI — with a focus on fine-tuning open-weight #LLMs. 🧠
I’m not looking for an “LLM whisperer” or an “LLM pilot.” 🚫
I’m looking for someone who deeply understands post-training, data, evaluation, and how to make models reliable in real-world environments. 🔐
The application link is in the first comment. 🌍

Over time, I have developed a bit of a reputation for saying no to external work for my teams. At least that's how people describe it. But I realized what I actually do is shape the work, often before it even arrives.

Rich Sutton's Bitter Lesson Isn't the Whole Story
The tech world has a favorite essay. Walk into any AI strategy meeting, and someone will inevitably reference it to justify why they need more compute, more data.
But here's how to spot a pseudo-intellectual: they never mention Sutton's equally important essay on "Verification."

Kashikoi is a simulation engine to benchmark GenAI Agents. They generate CPU-friendly world models that autonomously interview agents and generate deep behavioral assessments.
Congrats on the launch, @aaksham and @TimGMichaud!

Unpopular opinion: companies doing an about-face to focus only on AI while abandoning existing products will regret that decision.

Unfortunately I have to reshare this as I'm still looking for a position.
Had several good initial opportunities but in a lot of cases they were looking for someone less senior and not a web app SME.
If your company are hiring specifically web app testers, please DM me. 😁
I am currently looking for a remote, US-based, webapp-focused pentesting position. Though I'm not in a hurry, I understand how long interview processes can be.
If you're looking for a candidate with over 12 years experience in the industry, plus the ability to effectively communicate with customers in different roles, develop testing tools on the fly, and spread brand awareness on social media / at conferences, let's talk.

With so many high achieving people in security it’s common to feel like you never get enough work done. You should always take a step back and appreciate yourself. If you worked hard it will compound! Keep the momentum up! 💪

In this post I'll use CVE-2023-6241, a vulnerability in the Arm Mali GPU that I reported last November to gain arbitrary kernel code execution from an untrusted app on a Pixel 8 with MTE enabled. github.blog/2024-03-18-gaini…

I've audited the Android kernel in late 2023, and reported 10+ kernel bugs to Google, along with 2 exploits. Today, I'm releasing the first exploit, targeting the Mali GPU on Pixel devices, accessible from an untrusted_app context.

"Consumers making $45k and less" is 45% of all individuals.
In other words, MCDONALDS is now TOO EXPENSIVE for almost HALF of Americans.
McDonald's says it is seeing decreased traffic from consumers making $45k and less. Eating at home has become more affordable so the chain is losing that group to grocers, etc. $MCD

This is a five alarm fire.
ALT “This should be alarming to anyone who values a free society,” Kautz warned. “If paying bail is criminalized, the result will be a criminal justice system which can jail people indefinitely with no evidence, no trial and no recourse.
SB 63 — which would criminalize bail funds in Georgia — passed the Senate today. The bill would make bailing more than 3 people out of jail per YEAR a crime for bail funds and nonprofits. It also increases the number of non-bail-eligible offenses. atlpresscollective.com/2024/…
