Funny watching articles spread like wildfire on X now. You already know what article I'm talking about without me describing it at all I can't decide if this is an algo artifact or if people are just using AI to summarize them now, speeding up their Time To Hot Take Reply

This is the gnarliest npm worm I've seen so far, and these will only get worse - appears this might still be in the testing phase Persistence via git global config to poison future repos, CI jobs to grab new creds, even malicious MCP server injection Amazing write-up - read!

"AI will let companies fire all the engineers." Then who will dream up the unhinged video game programming environment that gets other engineers to lock in for 36 hours of straight prompting, HMM? 🤨

@AlexCaswen Importantly, though, I think it is a more meritocratic and open hierarchy than would occur with the groupchatification of everything

@AlexCaswen I actually don't mind the subtle reference to hierarchy, because the hierarchy is kinda the point. Otherwise it's just reddit Gotta figure out how the staircase would work...

The ideal social media network for me would eliminate or significantly reduce the game of positioning yourself above others as if you were at the pinnacle of knowledge/skill in something It would be built in - by virtue of you being here, you're on my level & we eschew the game

@AlexCaswen Silo has a negative connotation in tech, but in this case I think it's fairly accurate. The idea necessarily constrains scope so that popularity and other irrelevant factors don't overwhelm the value of one's contributions to a silo/level in the selection process

@ccneill I think silos might be a less contentious, less loaded word to describe what you are trying to say What do you think ?

Happy new year, friends! Here's hoping we all avoid becoming part of the permanent underclass in 2026

I can already predict the critics' responses to @profplum99's latest piece: "SEE?! NOT $140K!" And to those who actually read the piece, this will be just as irrelevant as their previous critiques

They don't want to stigmatize *their revenue* and likely a huge chuck of that is bots, affiliate badge schemes and the Psyop Industrial Complex, nor Musk’s use of those critters as low cost lobbyists for Elon Inc.

@cryptodavidw It seems to estimate based on what a human would say. I don't think LLMs have a good sense of time wrt their own capabilities Friends have reported estimates of "weeks" that were knocked out in a couple hours

claude just told me "This would take maybe 30-45 minutes to set up properly" and I don't know if it is good at estimating things or it's completely off

This was an excellent episode covering both cybersecurity and financial risks from an engineering perspective! I'll save Patrick the algo hit and post the links: overcast.fm/+ABJO23CNpRQ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tal… spotify.link/oZwEIkQ8HXb

This week for Complex Systems we're switching up the format a bit, since I was invited to give a talk at the Bank of England, on how a systems engineer thinks about systemic risk in a way that might be additive to central bankers. (All opinions in the talk are my own, etc etc.)
