‼️ Anthropic's official Claude Code extension was distributed with an SSH backdoor via Cursor's marketplace. A trojanized update (v2.1.313) targeted up to 5,000 users, according to Cursor. How attackers pushed it under the legitimate extension's identity remains unclear. Read: thehackernews.com/2026/10/of…

The real AI psychosis is thinking "this is just another tool" or "it's just a stochastic parrot" and "humans still need to review every line". You gotta snap out of it.

The fastest way to lose trust in an AI agent: let it change your machine without showing its work. If an agent edits a config or removes a network rule, ask it to name the exact change first. Back up the file, approve one action, then verify the result. Convenience is not worth finding out later what your agent changed.

Lost my phone at the office and spent 30 minutes turning the place over. Find My was disabled by MDM. Out of ideas, I asked Claude how I could find it. It suggested tracking the Bluetooth signal strength, then wrote me a meter in about a minute. I walked around watching the number climb. Found it. Apparently you can just make the tool you need now.

It's very useful to understand the context around something, how others perceive it, what influences it, etc. I have scraped together all evidence in chronological order, from prophecies before his time, to the surviving documents of his disciples enjoy github.com/0xSero/all-histor…

We had a security breach last night related to a large scale distillation attack that impacted 1.4% of OpenCode Console users We have notified them all this morning via email. If you did not get an email you were not impacted, it was a subset of users who had external providers linked The incident is ongoing so we cannot share more details at this point but we are working with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google to remediate

Another awesome IoT Hermes device! Check out this page I put up with hundreds of project ideas for Hermes Agent x Open Hardware! teknium.io/hermes-devices
Hermes traffic update before I travel. Man, I'm going to have so much fun with this.

🚨 #BREAKING: OpenAI warns employees that spies could be trying to seduce them; women may not be with them for their personalities. 📍Silicon Valley, CA “If she’s a 6 or above in San Francisco she’s a spy” warned one commentator.

New: Accenture has told employees it will only fund $29 per month of Claude use. Meaning that employees who often spend as much as $1,000 a month are now scrambling to find ways to keep access to the tool. A sign of the continuing crack down of AI 404media.co/accenture-tells-…

Every engineering team has a list of problems it never schedules: a latency issue, a PII problem, the tool that would make everyone faster. They waited because someone had to write the code. That time is coming back. We think it goes on that list. labs.theagilemonkeys.com/pos…
