may seem like a gimmick, but i think this is an early manifestation of the future ways-of-working: not using tools, but working alongside a team of agents.
will the future look exactly like this? no. but version N of this? 100%
Your AI coworkers now have an office.
@getskydive is open to everyone. Build a team of agents, watch them work in a 3D office, and hand them tasks over Slack, email, iMessage or the web.
Claim your company’s domain to put your office on the map. They work for free this week.
insane indeed. can this super-quick science fix the big problems? we probably won’t have to wait much longer to see if ai delivers to the promise

A visible sign of what AI insiders have been warning about since at least the Mythos release. Acceleration of attack and defense, at inhuman speeds, interacting with the very human systems that need to react to them.
So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

— Room for ambition
A late-night conversation at a startup office in Finland has stayed with me for almost twenty years.
Some thoughts on ambition, getting good at something, and the people around you.

evals is the thing folks. you can’t make agents actually useful or ship them confidently without proper evals. learn and practice.
Learn how to build evals, folks!
It's one of the pillars of the intelligence stack.
Agents are hungry for data and can get it in many ways, but you can't build anything useful in the real world without proper evaluation. Evals make agents useful and let you build truly differentiated products.
Invest heavily here. Or reach out if you need help. We are also building evals to measure the frontier @dair_ai.

LLMs are either not capable or not affordable for visual reasoning tasks at scale.
The Elorian team - one of Jeff Dean’s best reports who led Gemini, an Apple LLM lead, xAI lead, and a Harvard professor - just launched an Astra-level visual reasoning model, Glimpse, for 17x cheaper.
Watch it break down the flying Tesla video physics here.
Extremely critical for video inputs in manufacturing, robotics, gaming, content moderation and more.
State of the affairs:
Some observations about the "total" automation of software engineering:
1. There are more software engineers now than in 2025, and demand is growing.
2. Software engineers have never worked harder than they do now.
3. They largely don't write code anymore, agents write ~100% of the code.
4. The bottom line of the companies that employs these engineers and agents (i.e. the terminal purpose of all this code) is typically not budging as a result of AI adoption.
This is why you have to think in terms of systems. Automating one aspect of a system creates its own friction and moves the bottlenecks elsewhere.
Key takeaways, but totally worth watching the complete talk:
- Make it quiz you (“Don’t tell me the answer…”)
- Make it build something interactive you can explore
- Make it plot results before you believe the claim
- Write down own standards (start from a public example and edit)

Tony Montana casually eating a lemon from a bowl might seem like a humorous detail, but it reveals something much deeper about his character in Scarface. Surrounded by expensive suits, luxurious restaurants, and wealthy people, Tony is determined to prove he belongs among the elite. Yet the bowl in front of him isn’t meant for eating. It’s a finger bowl, traditionally used to rinse your fingers during a formal meal.
Tony doesn’t realize this, and no one bothers to correct him. That’s what makes the moment so revealing. He can afford designer clothes, expensive dinners, and a lavish lifestyle, but wealth can’t instantly teach him the social customs of a world he never grew up in.
Coming from poverty in Cuba, Tony never had the opportunity to learn the unwritten rules of high society. His ambition has earned him a place at the table, but he’s still unfamiliar with the culture surrounding it.
That single lemon becomes a subtle symbol of his journey. Tony has the money to enter a world he once dreamed of, but he hasn’t fully learned how to fit into it. In a movie defined by power, greed, and violence, one tiny detail reveals more about his character than an entire conversation could.

Agentic Discipline 7 is out. The models have changed. A single disciplined agent can now take on big tasks that used to need a swarm-forge harness. Three big tasks, one deep case study, a new twist on Crap/Mutate/Dry, and a look just above the code. cleancoders.com/episode/agen…

6,000 years of world history on a single timeline. Zoom in. You could spend 30 minutes exploring this.

I made a Codex-native app that can transfer highlights from my paperbacks to my ebook copies.
Osmo Pocket takes photos and sees the highlight. Takes a pic, uses OCR, then uses computer use to highlight my Kindle copy.
