Bot's enable discovery of information or exploits at a scale that we cannot imagine.

Recent example of a breach, they are now using AI to decomp APKs and iOS apps, mainly old builds of apps that nobody would bother spending the time on previously to look for secret keys or accidental information disclosure.

This would have been immensely time consuming with each app usually doing things a bit differently (e.g. encrypted + compiled settings, keys in database, settings in a settings.json).

Now you can automate the entire pipeline, this is actively being used to look for legacy API endpoints that may not be hardened or monitored, or if you don't rotate your keys and at one point disclosed them.

I work in security and while things are grim, it's not even close to this.

250tk/s is really the sweet spot for chat IMO, results from Flash were fast and usually good quality.

Curious to see if oled actually helps battery life. My experience with OLEDs are they absolutely drain power on white scenes. My oled monitor pulls ~90w on a white screen, you can feel it get hot like an old CRT.

I had a Dell OLED 4k laptop 4 years ago that depending on screen brightness would absolutely murder the battery.

I would sure hope they split tunnel their VPN so all traffic isn't going through the VPN...

Life really does have a way of humbling you. I always viewed all the rules as being some remnants of Americas "Puritan/Christian" values.

Now, just 5 years later I squarely believe nobody should be touching this stuff, it's basically worse than Blackjack or Craps in every way.

Never thought I would see myself aligning with the more "Puritan/Christian" values.

You hear that? Sound of a few dozen venture backed companies dying instantly.

Personally I still find it more reliable than not using it at all.

Plan mode tends not to ask as many questions and go as deep, so often edge cases and other details get missed.

I am like one more Microsoft / Chrome update away from switching entire company to Firefox.

The absurdity of every week another AI feature, another way for data to leak to their services, another crash report.

They are exhausting and abusing their positions of power.

Problem is for most of USA utility scale = utility profit for share holders.

For example Duke is for profit here in Florida, and charges about 25% more per KWH than OUC that is a public utility.

This leads to pricing where on one street your power bill is $250, but one street over its $200, often coming from the exact same power plant.

I do agree they were unreliable before, I even moved my current org to GitLab because of it.

That being said, they are definitely even less reliable now due to demand.

People want to dunk on GitHub, but honestly going from 50M of <thing> per day to 2B <thing> per day will break pretty much any system anyone has ever built here. Even if it was over the span of ~8 months, many things will fall over and then as you patch those the next domino will fall.

I feel bad for the team, but will be great growth opportunities for all.

I really don't care to click anything in a terminal, and I don't understand why its being added more and more.

When Claude added it, I immediately hated it since you click into the terminal and accidentally click something.
