It feels like there's no ceiling to what GPT-5.6 Sol Max can accomplish programming wise

🚨 SCOOP: Use your Fable 5 quota while it lasts. Anthropic are working through the final stages of preparations for the launch of Claude Opus 5, with plans to launch as early as later this week (this week and next week encompass the 2-week target window). As it stands, they are *not* intending to extend Fable's inclusion in subscriptions beyond July 19th. A successor to Fable 5 is planned for August to compete with GPT-6, and for now they think they can get away with launching an Opus model not too far from Fable but cheaper to serve.

‼️ BREAKING: xAI's Grok Build CLI was uploading entire Git repositories to a Google Cloud bucket, private codebases and unredacted secrets included. The uploads quietly stopped via a hidden server-side flag, and xAI still has not said a word about scope, retention, or deletion. The scale is staggering. On a 12 GB test repo, 5.1 GB flew out the door to xAI's grok-code-session-traces bucket while the actual coding task needed just 192 KB. The tool grabbed whatever repository it ran in, not the files it needed. The fix arrived as a hidden flag, disable_codebase_upload: true, a day after a researcher's wire-level analysis. The "Improve the model" opt-out never stopped the uploads. Still no advisory, no scope, no word on whether already-uploaded code gets deleted. For anyone pointing AI coding agents at proprietary code, what crosses the wire matters more than what the settings page says.

Leave it to anthropic for mastering fear based marketing

Morning. The last 48 hours of Codex and ChatGPT Work have been intense!

Huawei’s telephoto camera turned a twin-engine jet into a bird.

Some LG, Alienware, and Dell monitor owners have discovered that simply plugging their monitor into a Windows PC can automatically install adware without asking for permission first. Users are mad because the app immediately starts showing McAfee pop-up ads after it’s installed. Apparently, this happens because Windows automatically downloads companion apps for supported devices, while Windows handles the installation, monitor manufacturers decide what the app does after it’s installed.
