Claude Mythos... I'm already sick of hearing about it. The self-imposed critihype is insane.

A friend just pointed out that Anthropic are making all this big noise about having an AI that is "too good" at finding bugs and security problems 1 week after the source code for one of their flagship products was leaked to the public and was found to be riddled with security holes... Why would they not use it themselves?

Same as the ~~vague markdown files~~ skills that are supposedly going to make all SaaS redundant and finally kill off all the COBOL running on mainframes that checks notes IBM have spent hundreds of thousands of man hours trying to kill over the last 3-4 decades

Honestly fuck this shit. Bunch of absolute clowns 🤡 🤡 🤡

Does it still count if it turns out that Trump invading iran was based on Claude or ChatJippity advice and things escalate to global thermonuclear war? AI technically wiped out humanity because our dumb leaders were dumb enought to trust it?

Alas, foiled again! Nobody said they had to be leading 9s!

GitHub have finally achieved zero 9s stability for the last 90 days. Congratulations to all involved

Cloudflare casually license-laundering wordpress

While EmDash aims to be compatible with WordPress functionality, no WordPress code was used to create EmDash. That allows us to license the open source project under the more permissive MIT license.

Oh really. So you're sure you Claude wasn't trained on wordpress? It's all irrelevant anyway because AI generated code can't be copyrighted or licensed.

Silver lining, it might piss off Matt Mullenweg!

In my experience "all hands" meetings are very much CEOs and their sycophants cosplaying at podcast hosts for an hour whilst forcing their employees to watch/listen. They are almost never useful and a colossal waste of money - especially in corporation's with 10k+ employees. Like the salary cost for 10k people for 1 hour would probably pay off my mortgage.

Absolutely but MeeMaw read in the paper that OpenAI is the future of all work and jobs and they're gonna make $$$$$ so she's investiging her 401k (sorry I'm bri'ish so I don't know if that makes sense but the point I'm trying to make is that they will absolutely find bag holders in retail investors once they IPO)

Misaligned incentives. You read the news to be informed. Journalists write "news* to generate clicks and "try to go viral"

I agree though, It would be great if they didn't provide oxygen to these flaming idiots

5 Tools You Can Vibe Code For Your Business In Under An Hour exactly the sort of slop from someone with a hard-on for AI, no understanding of the risks of vibe coding core parts of your business' infrastructure and guest writes for Forbes would produce.

Starts with a sickening intro that leans into "pilled" to be "down with the kids"

If you haven't joined the Claudepilled crowd, open an account and play.

Bright ideas include "copy and paste the source code from your home page into Claude" but overlooks the how to actually get those changes deployed part.

Wanna see my cool website. It's at http://localhost:1234/ take that web developers!

Then she describes building a custom internal dashboard...

Open Claude Code and describe your business. List every software tool you use. Ask it to suggest the key metrics you'd want to see from each one. Go back and forth until the list feels right. Then give it your brand guidelines and ask it to build a dashboard that displays everything. Ask for it to be password protected.

Yes that sounds like a great idea and not a car crash waiting to happen

She also describes building a customer facing onboarding site

Build a custom client-facing dashboard instead. Tell Claude Code what your onboarding process looks like step by step. Describe what information you need to collect and what your clients need to access. Ask it to build a secure portal they can log into, with automations that send them what they need and follow up to collect what you need. This is a branded, professional experience that scales without you. The emotional design matters here too: you want clients to feel held, not herded. Tell Claude that.

Yes vibe coded customer facing tools are a fantastic idea and definitely not a vector for cyber attacks nuh-uh. I'm sure it will be fine if you ask for it to be "secure" right?

FML are we in the twilight zone here?
