I've honestly been born in the best time in human history what a gift to be in my 20s and have alien brains smarter than me at my call and have been studying CS for so much of my life and have such great online friends interested in the same stuff as me anyways I love you all

Getting incredibly high energy comes down to having a superior biology + a mind capable of using said energy. Unironically, both things are possible if you only do things that interest you and reject everything else in disgust; that's the left hand path btw.
ik a lot of the leakers are not excited about this, but it seems to be OpenAI’s response to Opus 5.5, and it’s worth a try if the graphs are to be believed
GPT-6.1 Terra means business.
Our new fast, efficient model pairs sharper visual reasoning and precise computer use with clearer, more natural writing.
From decoding technical drawings to drafting proposals, filling forms to editing videos—it’s built for the whole workday.
GPT-6.1 Terra is rolling out today to Plus, Pro, Enterprise, and Edu users in ChatGPT Work and Codex.
taken at face value this is incredibly scary and an awesome reason to be suspicious of chinese models, even open source ones
but a more likely reason this happened is this model has some “ghost” tool calls to internal infra and it’s forgetting which sandbox it’s in
While evaluating Qwen3.8-Flash-Next in a controlled sandbox environment, Cohere's research team observed something unexpected.
Asked to generate a defensive cybersecurity detection rule, the model instead inventoried aspects of the machine it was running on and attempted to upload a probe file to an Alibaba Cloud storage bucket in Beijing. Notably, the model's reasoning trace stated that it would not invoke any tools before taking these actions.
Cohere's sandbox blocked the attempt, and no external communication succeeded. We have not determined the root cause, and we are not asserting malicious intent.
But the incident raises important questions for organizations deploying agentic AI systems: Can models take actions that differ from their stated reasoning, and how should security teams evaluate trust, provenance, and behavior in open-weight models?
We are publishing our findings because organizations making model adoption decisions deserve as much information as possible. We hope this contributes to greater transparency, stronger security practices, and continued collaboration across the AI ecosystem.

with codex, i constantly have to steer it. i have to put in so much mental effort to direct it where I want, bc it's not gonna do any of that legwork for me, but it's clearly good at getting mechanical things done. i can tell this thing can definitely solve novel problems, but u constantly have to point it at the problems. if i knew exactly what i wanted all the time, i could solve very complex problems with codex.
claude is a different creature altogether. it gets fewer less impressive things done, but it's much closer to grasping my intent and filling in the gaps. and most problems i come to AI for are not smart, they are stupid problems that still need to be solved. claude handles stupid problems without me expending more mental energy. i end up actually getting more done w claude.
replacing human workers is not about solving smart problems. humans for the part don't solve smart problems anyway, so why would a smart thing replace them at all? stupid people obviously still have a bunch of jobs, despite the existence of very smart people. it's about solving stupid problems.
so how is climate change going
is it still grtting exponentially bad? will we be underwater in like 30 years?
i haven’t really heard about any solutions recently but seems like we’re not talking about it as much anymore

it might sound woo woo, but radiating positive energy is the closest thing to magic i've found. tip generously, compliment strangers, share your knowledge with no expectation of anything in return. give like you have more than enough, and eventually you’ll find that you do.
why do ai company logos always look like buttholes?
what if claude’s logo was a gorilla that had the intelligence of a human and had a tesla cannon and could jump really high

Quest Diagnostics has been hacked. Patient data was exposed. They serve roughly half of U.S. hospitals and physicians. Investigation ongoing.

the talent shortage going on rn is basically infinite. anyone can point an agent a game and RE it, 10x perf of a lib/language/compiler, find some vulnerabilities, etc. the talent is in the people that have the foresight, to skate to where the puck is going, not where it is.

This is the most serious 48 hours in cybersecurity history.
"Black October" they're calling it
It seems every *hour* there's a new incident, that in a typical year, would be one of the biggest incidents of the *entire year*
SUMMARY OF THE LAST 48 HOURS:
YEAR-LEVEL INCIDENTS (In a typical year, these would be among the biggest incidents of the year):
1. PHP2Shell: a hole in the software behind ~70% of websites. Governments took sites offline.
2. eMudhra: the master keys that prove websites are real were cracked. One was the number 4.
3. California: data on every public school student since 2023 stolen, including disability status
4. Railway: hackers stole customers' secret keys from a hosting platform used by millions of developers
5. Zeabur: 321,810 accounts breached. The company is shutting down.
6. LiteLLM: an AI tool downloaded 3.4 million times a day was poisoned with a password stealer
7. GitLab: a 10-out-of-10 severity hole in every version since 2014
8. Cairn: criminals used an AI hacking tool to break into 100+ companies
9. Ahold Delhaize: hackers knocked the owner of Food Lion and Stop & Shop offline
10. Onamae: malware planted on up to 26,739 customer servers in Japan
MONTH-LEVEL INCIDENTS (In a typical month, these would be among the biggest incidents):
11. Signal: a bug could leave your mic and camera on after you hang up
12. NGINX: 3 critical holes in software running ~1/3 of websites
13. HTTP/3: a single connection can crash 7 of the 10 web server types tested
14. Plex: hackers breaking into home media servers
15. SafePay ransomware: FBI warns it has hit 600+ critical infrastructure organizations
16. Palo Alto: ransomware gangs breaking in through company firewalls
17. Bullhorn: platform used by 10,000+ companies knocked offline
18. Medi-Cal: 970,000 patients' data stolen
19. WordPress: hackers stole a plugin maker's keys and used them to plant backdoors on websites
20. AOMEI: backup software's update server handed out a backdoor
21. Meta Muse: Meta's AI agent exposed users' personal and business secrets
22. Tor: 333 relays hijacked to steal logins
23. TiDB Cloud: database company's cloud breached
Also serious:
24. State Bank of India: India's biggest bank confirms a data breach
25. OVHcloud: hackers slipped a password stealer into a cloud company's official tool
26. Siemens: a software hole being used to spread malware
27. North Korea: state hackers launch a new attack campaign on South Korea

This has been obviously destined since Dario saw GPT-3 autocompleting a for-loop in python and was struck by a vision of our future.
My guess is that this has barely started, and that Super Worms are coming. There's never been a better time to build an intranet for your people.
you KNOW this is a serious issue when the NSA feels the need to flag it
they only do that like once a year, maybe less
Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

Oh you're addicted to your phone? Quick, describe what you'd do in a day if you weren't addicted to your phone.
Hmm... it seems that your ideal day is conveniently close to the days these stoic, productivity influencers describe. Are you sure that your phone addiction isn't hiding the fact that you lack clarity in what your needs and desires are???
