Re:TCP Use-After-Free: CVE-2026-98432 / CVSS 9.8 on Saturday October 31, 2026 @06:39PM (#50320958)
The timeline says the CVE was reported over 2 weeks ago, so why are the alarms sounding now?
Anthropic isnt getting enough scrutiny for their unprofessionalism:

1. Anthropic employee working on monumental problem but didnt receive/ask for the full backing of the company's resources

2. May or may not be mixing unreleased Claude output with Codex without zero data retention agreement

3. Victory lap on Twitter and giggling around the city before they finished the job, sparking rumors for competitors

They should have used a zero data retention agreement, user error
Hint: the world had much hotter periods before humans and capitalism

I can ship a new feature almost every day on the $20 Codex plan. The limiting factor has always been the drive to build something. General Artificial Intelligence is here and most will continue going about their normal routine
In some circles any AI usage puts you in the same bucket as the worst of the worst
Re:When random.bytes() runs but doesn't work on Sunday August 02, 2026 @12:16PM (#49145865)
The article clearly indicates the size of the changes: "The commit message is 5 characters and is simply the word “runs.” The commit changes 1534 lines of code making the ratio 5/1534 = ~0.003"
Re:Our position on open-weights models on Monday July 27, 2026 @11:32PM (#49078972)
That just shows how wrong he's been because there was nothing unsafe about AI in 2016. And the people theorizing about this stuff in the 20th century? I want to see what crazy code they were writing

Yeah when someone asks "how was your day?" I say "good" because thats the next token in the sequence

How we interact with society is based on our "training"

"I genuinely don't understand why people who have to work for their living are amazed at this." Also said after seeing the printing press, automobile, calculator, etc for the first time
I thought it was common knowledge you should physically cover any camera even if you believe they are secure
The so called "progressives" prove that they were the same ones crying after the printing press, automobile, calculator, washing machine, etc
9/11, 2008, and now AI job displacement is also bad luck
Re:Engineers who dismiss AI on Friday December 19, 2025 @08:20AM (#46325514)
Maybe I've always been a terrible engineer but I'm humble enough to admit the way I code has always been exactly like the LLM. If it's something brand new I'm googling it and pattern matching how to write it. If it's based on existing functionality I'm doing ctrl + f and pattern matching based on that and how to insert the minimal code changes to accomplish the task
Massive success actually for anyone holding. Did you forget the price is $100k?
Re:Former President Trump is projected to win the presidency on Wednesday November 06, 2024 @07:45AM (#42061388)
Under the Biden/Harris administration even software engineers were hurting and couldn't find work. Unprecedented
Infinite loss multiplied by small chance is still infinite risk
This is an aircraft worth taking great lengths to avoid. Cancelling important trips, meetings, etc.
To avoid getting scammed never answer any call or engage with any email you don't expect. As a bonus, ignore anyone at your front door you did not invite
Yep. After xz we don't need a bot mindlessly fixing all suggestions from malicious actors
Re:Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison on Thursday March 28, 2024 @05:38PM (#39857656)
Very lenient and it doesn't set a deterrent at all for people like SBF. Basically you can go off the charts on the sentencing guidelines and commit 3 counts of perjury in court and still have the same Expected Value as if you stopped the crime at a smaller scale
Re:Claude 3 beats GPT-4 on Aider's code editing benchmark on Wednesday March 27, 2024 @09:07AM (#39838544)
Anyone else think of themselves as a GPT? When I write my brain just predicts good words that come next based on my experiences. No doubt in my mind AGI is coming.

Hmm maybe the bull market is just beginning around the world
Makes sense why we are seeing mass layoffs. It feels like the end of a tech era and companies must rapidly shift priorities
Apple and their fans always represented peak arrogance to me. Idiots who would spend $1000 on a phone and $3000 on a laptop that had more bugs and compatibility issues with hardware and gaming than Windows. Only decent product they made was the iPod
I've seen elevators exhibit queue starvation behaviors when everybody in the hotel is trying to leave for the same event on time

Kinda morbid thinking about all the failed mutations as laying eggs evolved into the placenta

Re:Spot Bitcoin ETF receives official approval from the SEC on Thursday January 11, 2024 @12:08AM (#38947937)
Since gold reached 10 trillion market cap I am very confident BTC will too. Mainly due to the inflation hedge trade
