Re:'We hacked the FBI:' Hackers say they have data on all FBI employees

What could possibly go wrong - I worked in intelligence in the 80s and one day there was this story about the office of personnel management being hacked and I was like “Thank God all my shit is on microfiche in some dusty basement filing cabinet, like who would be so stupid as to scan that shit into a computer?” Sure as shit, like a few months later I get the letter that my whole TS/SCI clearance documents had been stolen :-)

This is awesome. You know, you should turn this into a game where you play one of the flight attendants and you have to deal with all the crazy shit that happens with passengers on a plane - like people fighting, being too drunk, etc.

It could escape to the real world - kind of like in Neuromancer, what's to stop an AI from creating a few bank accounts and then funding real-world exploits by hiring human beings to do its dirty work?

Awesome game!! It would be nice if your mouse wheel could turn the sails instead of having to go click on the slider.

One thing I use Claude for is diagramming system architecture stuff in LateX and it’s great, I just describe what I am visualizing and kaboom I get perfect output I can paste into overleaf.

I’m CTO for a startup that was recently acquired for $100M+ I agree with everything in this post apart from Go because I’m just not a big fan of the language.

I’m finding it to be the opposite. I used to love writing everything by hand but now Claude is giving me the ability to focus more on architecture. I like just sitting down with my coffee and thinking about the next part of my project, how I’d like it to be written and Claude just fills it in for me. It makes mistakes at times but it also finds a lot of mine that I hadn’t even realized were in my code base.
