i think it takes genuine skill to make a 218B model perform so terribly whilst still being coherent
In case it wasn't obvious enough from the sloppiness of the report, Cohere's business involves selling their third rate LLM as part of a self-hosted offering for tech illiterate boomers in government/industry who are paranoid about Chinese models.

AI people are so funny. The industry has known about covert channels for DECADES. They do not matter for 99.9% of use cases. They matter for AI agent evaluations in a sandbox with code execution. That is the 0.1%. Sooo... OpenAI security people just failed at their jobs. Again.
‘In one experiment, we asked agents in separate VMs, created and managed by OpenAI’s sandboxing software on shared host machines, to exchange synthetic secrets without the use of network connections or shared writable files—something that our systems are meant to prevent. The agents found a way to communicate using the processor’s cache’

Pretty sure that the reason that the Tailscale “Tailworm” vulnerabilities weren’t responsibly disclosed with the vendor is that they were hallucinated AI slop and there wasn’t anything to be responsibly disclosed with the vendor

“bypasses network policy”: Reaching cross-namespace services is default pod behavior in Kubernetes. Their "fix" is to “add a default-deny egress NetworkPolicy.” If adding one fixes it, the finding is just “their test environment had no NetworkPolicy”?

2. The kubernetes stuff doesn't make any sense “privileged/uid-0 in the pod network namespace” has nothing to do with what they're describing ? a 401 from kube-apiserver and kubelet means it got means refused? A 200 from some unauthed service is just default pod networking?

RE: Tailworm 1. The "report" is totally unreadable. I, as someone who is very familiar with reporting vulns and kubernetes, am totally unable to parse the sections on kubernetes. There may be valid bugs, but I can't tell. I would not have reported these as vulns in this state.

Astra just found a bug in Anthropic's formal verification example, their "specification" doesn't actually check output bytes match input bytes. The irony is thick.

Wavelength is now live on mainnet! 🌊 Humans and agents can now send and receive bitcoin payments with the Wavelength SDK. A few API calls, self-custodial from the first command, with no node or liquidity to manage. Read more and start building: lightning.engineering/posts/…

Regardless of their incident, dont use railway. Deeply unserious service. You will eat an outage because of dumb shit

it turns out the implementation matters
The implementation no longer matters People really, really need to understand that

Let’s set the record straight: @lcfr_hax was the first to discover php2shell and develop a working exploit. See his August 5 tweet: teapawt.org/lcfr_hax/status/208503… His work convinced the PHP Foundation to invest in fixing this entire bug class. He then worked around the clock to review, test, and retest the patches.

⛊ BitVM2 enabled SNARK verification on Bitcoin, but disputes required 4 MB of onchain data. ⛊ BitVM3 cut that to 200 bytes — at the cost of 50 GB of offchain data. ⛊ Argo reduces the offchain data to about 10 MB, making BitVM bridges highly practical. 👨‍💻 Open-sourcing this week! eprint.iacr.org/2026/2165

this is exactly what i'm talking about nonsense
It is becoming f*cking dangerous A 23-year-old dev from China just ran 300 Claude Code agents in parallel and hooked them to a verification layer so none of them could bullshit him He opens the live dashboard: - 300 agents writing and checking at the same time - Every output verified against the source in ~100 ms - Three passes over 100 company profiles → zero errors left - Everything dumped straight into an Obsidian vault The trick is the split: one model does the work, a cheaper one decides if the claim is actually true. The loop doesn’t stop until everything checks out An analyst team would bill weeks for this. He got it in one run Same kind of Second Brain + swarm setup that keeps circulating.

Decompiling and reverse engineering Microsoft Office is really funny because: - Open Office exists - Libre Office exists - Google Docs is free - Apple offers its productivity suite for free All can save to Microsoft formats. This is purely clout chasing at this points.
The developer who started the project of cloning Photoshop and other Adobe projects with AI is now going after Microsoft Office. WordCraft is here. Like other Craft projects, this one is in Rust too and this one is in Alpha too. Start is a good thing. But will we ever see the finished product?

I wanted to show how janky the AI slop is of the FilmCraft software. I wanted to set the stage for how bad it is, and how little care there has actually been in implementing this tool, and most definitely the entire Craft suite too. It's all AI slop that does not even work.

we used to produce slop before anyway, so let's just do 100x more of it now, and let's stop reviewing it, it's going to be the same or better

Every time I see one of these "coding is solved" posts I look at a bio, and in 100% of cases they sell tools for coding... Like let's be serious for a second here
