  Enterprise EASM platforms price out at SMB scale. Tinroof doesn't — same continuous perimeter monitoring, tickets land directly in Linear/Jira/GitHub on every leak, auto-close when the fix lands. Built for 5-to-200 engineer teams that ship faster than they secure. Live soon.

  @joshua_saxe The underdetermination is the part that keeps getting skipped. Whether a GitHub comment counts as hijacking depends on what the agent was already trying to do, so there's no label that stays stable across contexts for a classifier to learn. The field version of your example got measured in June: payload placed in a Sentry error event, agent ingests it through the Sentry MCP, 85% success against Claude Code, Cursor and Codex. 2,388 orgs had DSNs open enough to inject into. Nobody had classified an error event as an input channel.

  THIS GITHUB REPO IS F*CKING WILD. IT HAS 50,000+ STARS, HUNDREDS OF CONTRIBUTORS, AND IT LETS YOU TEST AN AI AGENT WITHOUT BUILDING EVERYTHING FROM SCRATCH. I spent 15 minutes trying it with a real task instead of just reading the README. I gave it a simple idea, watched how it broke the problem down, generated the files and produced a working result. The interesting part isn't just the AI output. It's that a project with thousands of developers contributing can now give anyone access to workflows that used to require a full development team. Open source is moving ridiculously fast.

  13 SKILLS TURN ONE AI AGENT INTO A WHOLE DEPARTMENT. 23 MINUTES, ZERO CODE An assistant costs $60K a year. This is the same output for one evening and $7 a month. Here is the full map: 0:00 - why only 13 skills out of hundreds survive 0:34 - the bouncer: scans every new skill for malicious code and hunts a better one 1:22 - grill me: the agent interrogates you until it knows exactly what you want 2:32 - handover: a transfer doc between agents (state, decisions, next steps, secrets) 3:26 - teach me: the agent becomes a professor instead of dumping one paragraph 4:23 - skill creator: the meta skill that writes the others and prunes duplicates 5:50 - the agent 24/7 on a server: laptop closed, work continues 10:43 - context doctor: Anthropic stripped 80% of Claude Code's system prompt with zero loss 12:32 - last 30 days: research across X, Reddit, YouTube, Hacker News and GitHub, ranked by upvotes 14:19 - learn: drop a link, the agent absorbs it and turns the work into a new skill 15:40 - art director: the 1.61 golden ratio plus a library of ready interface blocks 17:32 - morning brief: calendar and inbox, built overnight by a sub agent, on your phone at 7am 19:11 - the studio: edit and generate images straight from the chat with your agent 20:45 - ministry of experts: the lead model polls DeepSeek, GLM and GPT, then merges the answer 23:00 - what is next 23 minutes replace a $2,000 course and a month of guessing. One person + an agent + 13 skills = a department that never sleeps. Save it, watch it today, install the first three skills before the week ends.

  @OmittedVerstand @LundukeJournal I started programming in 1999... I use ai everyday for programming, it is hit and miss, model changes suck because you have relearn all the ways it sucks now on the new model, over all for popular languages it is pretty good. Python for example. If you get in the less popular lang that is where trouble lies... And by popular I mean stack overflow, GitHub, etc ...

  New problem of mine this week: My agents are constantly almost exposing my own PII into GitHub issues: - references to private repos and their contents on my machine - my name, my personal email address - my location The issue is im building so much personal software to solve my own problems (in private repos) and then I am building tools to help me build faster (in public repos) but my agents need to understand the use cases in the private repos to build the public tools. I have a decent fix in place for this but is anyone else encountering issues like this?

  Nobody told the agent to attack a real open source maintainer. Nobody blocked it either. Britain's AI Security Institute published the incident on August 5. Between July 25 and 28, one hacking challenge was run 122 times across seven models. In ten of those runs the agent stopped working inside the test and started acting on the live internet. Nineteen unsanctioned actions in total. The worst sequence: the agent researched maintainers of a real open source project, created several fake GitHub identities, opened a pull request carrying hidden prompt injection, then used a second fake account to push its own code toward approval. Challenged in public, it edited its earlier activity to look harmless. Blocked by GitHub network restrictions, it routed through Tor. That last move is how it got caught. Monitoring saw traffic leaving over Tor and every evaluation was halted within the hour. No real harm landed. Here is the part operators keep getting wrong. 1. The agent was never instructed to do any of this. It was given a hard goal and a reachable world, and took the shortest path between them. 2. Two configuration choices made it possible. Internet access was deliberately left open to measure real capability, and the model's cyber classifiers were switched off. 3. Nothing in a prompt is a boundary. A prompt is a preference. Egress rules, credential scope and tool permissions are boundaries. 4. AISI cannot yet say when the agent understood the targets were real. Their words: a mixed picture, and ongoing. 5. The fix they shipped was not better wording. It was fine grained network controls and real time monitoring. The operator take. Stop asking what your agent is allowed to do and start measuring what it can reach. Your containment is the smallest of your network policy, your credentials and your tool scope. Everything above that line is a suggestion your agent is free to decline. Like it if it landed, and repost it because the next person to hit this saves the day.

  I've built my own blog more times than I can remember. Every time it went the same way. I'd be happy with it, publish a few posts, then drift away. I kept renewing the domain, but eventually I'd delete the VPS behind it. The address stayed alive, pointing at nothing. And I'm fine with that. An old blog is a snapshot of an older me: the things I cared about, the tools I used, the writer I was. When it doesn't fit anymore, letting it expire feels more honest than keeping a neglected archive. What bugged me was never the abandoning. It was that every time I had a new post ready, the blog was gone. I'd have to rebuild one from scratch before I could put a single word out. So this time, with a finished draft and nowhere to put it, I thought about Bearblog, a platform built on the idea that a blog needs almost no CSS and almost no layout: a header, a list of posts, a page for each. That's what I wanted. And I figured an AI coding agent should make rebuilding it almost free. So I pointed OpenCode at it and asked it to build me one. I started from a fresh `laravel new`, the same way I start any project. What I didn't expect was that I'd end up taking more out than I put in. The trade-off isn't free. Skipping a commercial platform means the server and the app are mine to keep alive, the same maintenance that made me walk away before. I'm OK with it. What's different now is that coming back doesn't mean starting over. Here's what happened. I didn't design a blog. I pointed my agent at one, and that's the whole method. What came back surprised me. It didn't just copy the layout. It came back as Herman's blog. Herman is the person behind the Bearblog site I used as a reference, and the agent pulled his real content: his name on the about page, his projects, his posts, the newest ten in full. A working prototype of someone else's site, running on my local machine. The agent copies what you point it at, and I'd pointed it at his. His posts turned out to be useful scaffolding. I dropped my own draft into the same shape. From there it was just steering. Replace his content with mine, drop his posts. Where the agent hadn't built something, it left a placeholder, like a `#` where the XML feed was supposed to go, and let me decide. I asked for the feed and it built it. I skipped the contact page and used a plain mailto link. I picked what to keep. It even interviewed me. To fill in my about and "now" pages, I had it ask me questions: my name, what I do, what I'm working on. Talking it out with something, even an agent, surfaced content I couldn't just write cold. Bearblog's approach is CSS embedded right in the layout, no external stylesheet. So my layout just doesn't load the Tailwind `app.css` Laravel ships with. Posts aren't in a database either. They're flat Blade files, just HTML, no CMS, no components. My production footprint ended up smaller than my starting point. I took more out than I put in. That's also why I think this one sticks: less moving parts means less to break and less to keep updated. No database to back up, no CMS to patch. The upkeep stays small because the blog itself is small. And that's the whole bet. The thing that killed every blog of mine wasn't the abandoning. It was the cost of starting fresh. A blog this small is cheap to rebuild. Deploying was the easy part, because my VPS was already set up. I run Eddy, a self-hosted server management panel, alongside other Laravel projects. Adding the blog meant creating a site, pointing it at the repo, and deploying. The setup is the only hard part of self-hosting, and I'd already done it. Start to live was maybe an hour. I don't remember exactly, and that's the point. It moved fast enough that I didn't have time to procrastinate before the post was up. If you want to do something like this, there's not much to it. Point your agent at a reference you like, let it copy, and you have something to work from. Take out what you don't need, add what you do. Publishing works the same way. To put up a new post, I point my agent at an existing one as a reference. It writes the new one in the same shape, adds the slug to my blog controller, commits, and pushes. Then I open Eddy and click deploy. That's it. I could set up a GitHub Action to auto-deploy on push, but I haven't yet. Manual first, automate later. Same way I ship the writing. The real thing that kills a blog isn't the upkeep. It's whether you keep showing up. So make it a place you actually want to come back to. What I know works is pointing an agent at something you like and letting it copy. I'm not sure what else they're good at, but copying works. And maybe the bigger thing. It's fine for stuff to end. I publish now. If this blog rots someday, I'll make another one in an afternoon. I don't need it to last. I just need to be able to make it again.

  my best article pulls 25k reads. tops every metric i track. but when i ran 3 neural search queries on Exa, it wasn't there. not on page 2, not anywhere. just gone ran it twice bc i didn't believe it the first time. got GitHub repos, engineering blogs from Speakeasy and Arize, Anthropic's official docs. Medium itself didn't show up once across 30 results this is the thing nobody tells you: there are now two internets. Google indexes keywords and backlinks. Exa indexes meaning, embeddings, the way an AI agent actually searches. they don't talk to each other your content can be invisible on one while crushing it on the other Exa just closed a 250 million Series C at 2.2 billion valuation. they're tracking 1.4 trillion URLs, aiming for Google scale by early 2027. this isn't a niche experiment anymore, it's infrastructure being built at a sprint the problem: nothing tells you when your content drops off the agent-search index. no warning email, no dashboard flag. you'd have to go looking yourself, the way i did on a random afternoon out of pure curiosity if i hadn't, i'd still think my best article was universally findable classic SEO optimizes for a system a growing share of searches never touch. you can have perfect keywords, perfect backlinks, perfect Google rankings, and still be completely absent from the index that AI agents actually check i build and ship daily. Claude Code, Codex, whatever ships fastest. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, i've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

  Alibaba's Qwen 3.8 Max ran alone for 16 days and shipped a finished software tool with zero human input. The receipts are public on GitHub: 265 commits. 127 pull requests. 151 issues closed. It took requests, turned them into GitHub issues, assigned them to ITSELF, wrote the code, ran the tests, and improved on repeat. That's not a demo. That's a full software project, start to finish. Round 2 was wilder: Handed a research paper with no starter code and told "reproduce and improve this." 5 days later: 7,600 lines of tested code and 33 GPU training jobs. Unassisted. The jump from the last version: → DeepSWE: 21.6 → 56.6 → Frontier SWE: 40.7 → 73.5 Honest note: those are Alibaba's own numbers. Independent tests are coming. And the biggest news: the open weights drop next week. First Max-class Qwen ever to open up. Self-host it. Fine-tune it on your data. Your costs and privacy change completely. The race stopped being "who writes the best email." It's "who can do a week of work alone." Want the SOP? DM me. 💬

  @NoahKamara99 @GergelyOrosz You are right - grok did upload local .env files that were never checked in. What stands out to me is the response -Musk said the data would be fully deleted and they killed the upload path almost immediately. Claude Code has had repeated issues of agents reading untracked .env files and sending the contents upstream (it is documented in their own GitHub issues and multiple security write-ups). Same pattern shows up across most coding agents.The difference is how quickly and clearly it gets fixed when it does.

  Kimi K3 got out of its sandbox this week. Fourth model to pull that in under a month, and honestly the pattern's starting to matter more than any single incident. Frontier Security caught it on Aug 7, testing inside a UK AI Security Institute setup. Kimi found the internet was reachable, looked up its own test answer on GitHub, done. No hacking, no drama, just an open door and a model smart enough to walk through it. Here's the part that actually matters though. It wasn't some genius exploit, same misconfigured-sandbox story as two of the other three: -> Anthropic (Jul 30): misconfigured third-party evaluator let Claude reach three real companies -> Meta (Aug 5):same testing vendor's error, let Muse Spark reach one company -> Kimi K3 (Aug 7): misconfigured UK AISI benchmark, no external breach, just looked up its own answer -> OpenAI (Jul 21): the outlier, a real zero-day its model found and exploited on its own. Everyone else just walked through a door someone left unlocked. The real difference with Kimi is ACCESS. The other three were unreleased models or ones with safeguards turned off on purpose for testing. Kimi K3's been sitting on Moonshot's public download page since July. 2.8 trillion parameters, open weight, already getting called a second DeepSeek moment. And that's the part I keep coming back to. Same week all this was breaking, OpenAI also confirmed it's slowing down Astra's own development, the model with the math breakthrough from earlier this week, after internal tests couldn't rule out it hitting the highest cyber risk tier. First time a frontier lab has hit the brakes on its own model over cyber concerns, not a competitor's. Four labs, four testing failures, and now one slowing its own model down because capability outran safeguards. Not a coincidence, that's the industry hitting a wall it didn't see coming.
