If someone did have a working exploit, is $500 enough for them to give it away to whomever is monitoring this honeypot?

Originally the word computer described a person doing the act of computation.

I believe in the future, we're going to see a similar shift in "programmer" - instead of a human programming the computer, you'll give the ai an idea and it will spit out a program.

And just like how automating the act of computation revolutionized what we could compute, automating the act of writing code will change the act of programming - hopefully, as you described, allowing us to do things that simply were not practical in the past.

So this is why they allowed Claude code to be used for open claw again - cuz code is going to more expensive customers

“A programmer is going to the store and his wife tells him to buy a gallon of milk, and if there are eggs, buy a dozen. So the programmer goes shopping, does as she says, and returns home to show his wife what he bought. But she gets angry and asks, ‘Why’d you buy 13 gallons of milk?’ The programmer replies, ‘There were eggs!’”

You need to write a clearer prompt.

I get the appeal but I disagree

The strength of open source software is collaboration. That many people have tried it, read it, submitted fixes and had those fixes reviewed and accepted.

We've all seen LLMs spit out garbage bugs on the first few tries. I've written garbage bugs on my first try too. We all benefit from the review process.

I would rather have a battle tested base to start customizing from than having to stumble through the pitfalls of a buggy or insecure AI implementation.

"Trump says" is not the same as "US will"

Trump says a ton of things that he never ends up doing.

This is exactly how us taxes should work. The IRS already has all the information it needs - it should fill out the form, give you a chance to double check, and then you're done.

Sigh...

Apple makes, what, $1 billion (with a B) in profit every day.

So this is nothing to them.

> And then there’s Microsoft, which—despite being one of the most powerful and prominent companies in Silicon Valley—seems to be having one of its biggest losing streaks ever. Bloomberg reported Friday that its stock had slumped 8.6 percent over eight days, a decline that evaporated some $350 billion in market valuation.

I find it strange and upsetting when articles talk about the "evaporation" of "market valuation". Market value is already meaningless vapor - it's not like real money was created when the stock price went up, nor has anything of concrete value disappeared.

The article mentions the hours...

> Beginning 6 a.m. EST (1100 GMT) on Nov. 10, commercial launches to space can only take place between the hours of 10 p.m. EST (0300 GMT) and 6 a.m. EST (1100 GMT), according to the FAA order.

I've been able to build the equivalent of skills with a few markdown files. I need to remind my agent every so often to use a skill but usually once per session at most.

I don't get what's so special about Claude doing this?

Reality has a well known liberal bias.
