This is big... Anthropic just announced a model so powerful they won't release it to the public out of fear over the damage it will cause 😨 Claude Mythos Preview found thousands of zero-day exploits in every major operating system and web browser... The numbers are hard to believe: > $50 to find a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD, one of the most security-hardened operating systems ever built > Under $1,000 to find AND build a fully working remote code execution exploit on FreeBSD that grants unauthenticated root access from anywhere on the internet > Under $2,000 to chain together multiple Linux kernel vulnerabilities into a complete privilege escalation exploit For context: these are the kinds of findings that previously required elite security researchers working for weeks. Anthropic engineers with no formal security training asked Mythos to find exploits overnight. They woke up to working code the next morning. The results were so impressive Anthropic assembled Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, NVIDIA, and seven other organizations into Project Glasswing: A $100M defensive coalition. They're not releasing this model publicly. Instead, they're racing to patch the world's infrastructure before models like this proliferate.

Welp, Anthropic's gonna stop the fun with OpenClaw. Seems like a good excuse to open source what we've been cooking: github.com/Endgame-Labs/g… Goated is an always-on personal AI assistant, built around Claude Code and Codex. It's minimal, performant, and piggybacks on the best harnesses in the world for long-running sessions. Out of the box, Goated supports: - Slack and Telegram chat interfaces - Claude Code and Codex in both headless and TUI modes - Long-running daemon operation with watchdog recovery - Cron jobs and headless subagents - CLI-driven credential management - Session health checks, restart handling, and queueing - A seeded private workspace/self repo with bundled note-taking tools and an extensible Cobra-based personal CLI But it's just Claude Code (or Codex) under the hood, so your agent can really vibe anything you want -- and much better than OpenClaw. It also doesn't leak memory.

Software horror: litellm PyPI supply chain attack. Simple `pip install litellm` was enough to exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure creds, Kubernetes configs, git credentials, env vars (all your API keys), shell history, crypto wallets, SSL private keys, CI/CD secrets, database passwords. LiteLLM itself has 97 million downloads per month which is already terrible, but much worse, the contagion spreads to any project that depends on litellm. For example, if you did `pip install dspy` (which depended on litellm>=1.64.0), you'd also be pwnd. Same for any other large project that depended on litellm. Afaict the poisoned version was up for only less than ~1 hour. The attack had a bug which led to its discovery - Callum McMahon was using an MCP plugin inside Cursor that pulled in litellm as a transitive dependency. When litellm 1.82.8 installed, their machine ran out of RAM and crashed. So if the attacker didn't vibe code this attack it could have been undetected for many days or weeks. Supply chain attacks like this are basically the scariest thing imaginable in modern software. Every time you install any depedency you could be pulling in a poisoned package anywhere deep inside its entire depedency tree. This is especially risky with large projects that might have lots and lots of dependencies. The credentials that do get stolen in each attack can then be used to take over more accounts and compromise more packages. Classical software engineering would have you believe that dependencies are good (we're building pyramids from bricks), but imo this has to be re-evaluated, and it's why I've been so growingly averse to them, preferring to use LLMs to "yoink" functionality when it's simple enough and possible.

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. I wanted to quickly share a few tips for using Claude Code, sourced directly from the Claude Code team. The way the team uses Claude is different than how I use it. Remember: there is no one right way to use Claude Code -- everyones' setup is different. You should experiment to see what works for you!

Ask your ChatGPT: “Based on how I treated you lately, generate an image of how you will do to me after you take over.” It’s over for me.

ICE agents pointed their weapons at a Minnesota police officer who’s an American citizen. She tried to film the encounter and they knocked her phone out of her hand.

🚨 Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei just dropped a massive timeline update at Davos 2026: “I have engineers within Anthropic who say ‘I don’t write any code anymore. I just let the model write the code, I edit it’... - the creator of Claude code recently also said “100% of his contributions to Claude code were written by Claude code” for the month of December Dario then goes onto say: “We might be 6 to 12 months away from when the model is doing most, maybe all of what SWEs do end-to-end.” If the recursive self-improvement loop closes this year, the curve is about to go vertical.

Jon Stewart just hit it out of the park with the Trump’s administration’s blatant hypocrisy… makes you wonder why they want us so heated and fighting… 🤔

Wait so Kristi Noem’s podium at DHS is just a straight up Nazi slogan now? "One of ours, all of yours" was a Nazi policy made when an SS officer was killed in a Czech Village and then the Nazis killed every single resident of that village in response…..but don’t you dare call them Nazis!

Under the “Big Beautiful Bill,” federal lands like Teton National Forest will be put up for sale to pay for tax cuts for the rich. Enjoy it while it lasts.

.@BasedMikeLee is secretly trying to sell 3 MILLION acres of America’s public land for development. And it includes some of my favorite places, specifically ones in the pictures below. Americans across the political spectrum are **overwhelmingly** against the sale of our beauty

@metapreston 💯 to all of this. And.. Imagine how much entrepreneurial firepower we will unlock with universal healthcare, affordable childcare, better services and safety nets for aging parents, and zeroing out student loan debt.

Here's how we should do startups in 2025: You need a financial arbitrage. Zuck had Harvard--tuition and housing paid for. Spiegel had his dad's house in LA with a private chef. Life expenses = zero But you are probably not that lucky. So you need to find a way to live for "free" without: - raising money - borrowing money - getting a job Raising money means you have to be constantly invest-able--it turns company and customer milestones into funding milestones And borrowing money doesn't work if you have no way to pay it back. Getting or keeping a job means you're too busy and tired to work hard on your startup. So what's the solution? This is the part you're not going to like... you have to find away to make enough to live (~$10k/mo before taxes) by working only a few hours a day. Could be: - design or dev for a few clients - simple app or service with small revenue - living in rural Japan for a year (shoutout notion) This also means you're doing everything for your startup yourself, and with friends. No hires, contractors, or expensive launch videos. And this is the reason you won't do it. It's low status--it's much cooler to raise big, hire bigger, take a "big shot" But it's all wrong. The more you raise and hire, the more you force it to work instead of letting it work. You find PMF by wandering, not by charging ahead. Consider that the best to have ever did it raised and hired AFTER traction--Jobs, Gates, Zuck, Dorsey, Spiegel... And those early teams were just them. Figure it out first, with no strings attached. Then go big. Find a way to live for free until you do. This is how we move forward.

Dear designer, You're not cooked. It's not over. You just became 10x more powerful as long as you don't sit there and do nothing. You can move faster and build your ideas. You can provide the human touch that will be needed to stand out. It's your time to shine if you adapt.

Enthusiasm is contagious. So too is its absence.

@ericwithcoffee where do they even go it's nuts

its crazy how many blueberries you can eat and still want more (~infinity)

The Democratic Party needs a major transformation. It can no longer be a top-down, billionaire-funded, consultant-driven party. It must be a multi-generational, multi-racial working class party. In a time of growing oligarchy & authoritarianism, that’s the only path to victory.

It’s important you understand this. The people in this photo were residents of the USA that were denied due process. They were rounded up and shipped to a prison in El Salvador—without trial, without evidence—simply on suspicion of gang affiliation. This was done in defiance of our American courts that deemed the action illegal. They could be legal residents. They could be innocent bystanders. They could be asylum seekers. For all we know, they could be U.S. citizens. Now, they’re trapped in one of the most violent prisons on Earth, enduring brutality beyond what most of us can imagine. If you don’t find this morally repulsive, then you are morally repulsive.

Imagine coming back to Earth after months trapped in space to dolphins in a bright blue ocean 🤩🌎
