> Makes it seamless for trip planning.

Trip planning is the most often used use-case for agents/bots I see in marketing. I'm lucky to travel once a year, but if I did have a trip, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting an LLM take the wheel. Too many variables for wrong flight or room, closed locations in itinerary, etc.

Now, critical server infrastructure? Sure, have at it Claude, make no mistakes!

I'm sure it will be a great resource for LLMs to read.

But seriously, good luck to them. I used to make Photoshop tutorials before YouTube, and it was a lot of fun. When YouTube came around, all the eyeballs went there, rightfully so -- videos made more sense for Photoshop. But I didn't have it in me to pivot.

And these days you don't even have to know how to do things like mask objects. There's one-click solutions, there's generative fill, light matching, face filters, etc. Hell, you can rotate a 2d layer in 3d now. Soon, live prompting in Photoshop will be the norm.

I used Kimi K3.1 Pro to figure it out as soon as cloudlandsdev put php-version.php live. The exploit worked just like this in a local Docker lab. But the terms page of the contest prohibited "resource exhaustion," so it stopped there. Showing Kimi the PoC, it says:

"The winning chain deliberately used per-request memory exhaustion, which appears to violate the literal no-resource-exhaustion rule, although the organizer accepted the win."

We're in October 2026. Updating packages is the easiest thing Claude can do. For me, I asked and received:

Node 26.3 → 26.12.1 Homebrew’s CA bundle, certifi and OpenSSL are updated, and so are Python 3.13 and 3.14 (3.13.17 and 3.14.9). uv 0.10.9 → 0.13.5. python.org Python 3.13: pip 26.2.2, installed from PyPI’s wheel with its checksum checked, then certifi 2026.10.19.

It also checked some of the other recent vulnerabilities like LiteLLM (already updated).

With this in mind, having LLM-powered NPCs would be a beautiful thing. There's been limited testing on PC games (PUBG Ally), but I can imagine it will be the standard.

> How many pelican riding bicycle SVGs were there before this test existed? What if the training data is being polluted with all these wonky results...

But Simon has demonstrated before that asking for any animal doing something silly will still get similar results from the same model.

What about FOSS SaaS alternatives that are meant for team collab? Like Plane (Jira replacement). Does that have to be ran locally at home for it to be considered "self hosted"?

Surely the goal for these people is being able to download ISOs for the emulator, no?

Wouldn't help OC if their system is dark mode.
