Why are bioweapons the only thing tech bros worry about, when some bags of nails, fertilizer and diesel in a sedan will defeat any security measure they care to build for themselves quite reliably?

All I know is that I currently pay Anthropic a bunch of money per month for Claude and that Google wasn't even on my radar for that.

Seeing a physics result in there has got me hyped.

Turn this loose on LHC data ASAP.

The trouble is that's doomsday anyway. When I don't use most of the features of your product, you're competing with the monthly cost of my Claude subscription for value - and that's very good at building me exactly what I want.

Code review is the problem I'm currently trying to figure out for myself. I've never liked GitHub PRs but I'm not 100% sure what I want instead (which is possibly just: it feels like it should be a VS Code plugin... But maybe I don't like VS Codes interface that much either?)

That is...not at all my experience of Opus 5.5, which has absolutely both spotted weird workarounds, then spotted the underlying bugs which were leading to the workaround, then spotted the race conditions which were masked by the workarounds.

This is outdated news though. It's cope. People are out there telling themselves "well it's insecure". That was true. The AI models are better hackers then humans now though. Red teaming your own code with AI will produce a better penetration test then any developer trying to implement OIDC.

And frankly...have you tried configuring Keycloak? It is a gigantic "do everything app". The idea that it's going to have a narrower attack surface is basically fantasy.

You are seriously underestimating how good something like Opus 5.5 is at testing.

That's what truly convinced me programming was over: it writes better tests, more thoroughly, then any developer.

It also has to do so without destroying a bunch of other exceptionally well tested theories - it's very easy to explain something if you ignore other requirements, like being compatible with relativity - which has been a big problem for MOND but is no problem at all for dark matter (because it's just extra matter being normal out in space).

No they won't..like, observably they won't. This is a problem almost every entrepreneur who looked at small businesses as a start up opportunity ran into immediately: most small businesses are run by people who are exactly happy with where they got to, and so showing up and promising you'll expand the business goes over as well as a lead balloon.

Conversely for me AI is letting me focus on the part I actually enjoyed: organizing and planning systems, and powers through the parts which were just a grind to get there.

By far my biggest use at the moment is just getting all the software I use to function as I want it too.

As opposed to just exploding from the high pressure tanks of gas onboard due to an otherwise survivable fender bender?

Okay but he also hasn't cured cancer, hasn't delivered full self driving, and this car is not useful as a car in anyway.

Any sign of the tens of thousands of Optimus robots?

It'll be fine. You voted for strong labor protections, universal healthcare and a welfare system right?

Seriously I don't get what everyone else is doing where they say things are getting worse somehow.

There's days I no longer need to sit at my computer: Claude Remote prompts my phone when it needs direction, the hardware stays busy and I can just go out with my family instead.
