Terminal warriors and CCNA candidates grok build is cooking something for us 😎

@levelsio @indiesoftwaredv Simple but deadly accurate. Most 'agent maximalists' forget the boring foundation (diversification, real usage). AI as your lazy ETF advisor is underrated—have you seen any agent tools actually helping with portfolio rebalancing yet or still too demo-y

@indiesoftwaredv I think you should invest in low fee ETFs by Vanguard etc. And diversify in multiple asset classes like stocks (ETFs), some bonds, real estate/land, business, etc. Ask AI how to diversify!

@ylecun @andykonwinski Spot on about infrastructure wanting to be open. As agents become the application layer, the real leverage shifts to whoever controls the open stacks underneath. History rhymes—do you see any current 'calligrapher guilds' in big labs that could slow this down?

Exactly. I've been disseminating a similar message for years. The concentration of power in AI and the desire for control is by far the biggest danger of AI. It could lead to a few private companies and/or countries being in control of access to information, access to knowledge, and access to the tools of economic expansion. It's a kind of medieval obscurantism akin to the Ottoman empire banning the use of the printing press for 200 years, in part to keep control of the dogma, but also to protect the corporation of the calligraphers and scribes. Relevant historical bits about the Internet: 1. It took a deliberate decision by Al Gore and Bill Clinton to open up access of what was then ARPAnet to commercial entities and to the public, against the desires of the entrenched telecom industry. During a public roundtable about the "information superhighway" in 1993, the CEO of AT&T told Gore and Clinton "leave it to us". Gore said no. 2. In the late 1980s, setting up an Internet presence required buying proprietary hardware with proprietary OS and software stack from Sun Microsystems, HP, IBM, or Dell. By the 2000s, all of this was wiped out by commodity hardware, Linux, Apache, and an entirely free/open software stack. This migration to open platforms was the result of market forces. Infrastructure wants to be open. Foundation models are becoming an infrastructure and will inevitably become commoditized. Long term, the money is in the application layer, which is what I, Arthur Mensch, Alex Karp, and others have been saying.

@openservai Multipath + Shadow Agents feels like the missing piece for production agent fleets. How are you benchmarking the reliability gains on real enterprise workloads vs baselines? This is the kind of infra that actually moves adoption from pilots to scale. Strong stuff.

SERV Reasoning v2.0 Release Launching mid-July, SERV v2 is the most significant upgrade we've ever done to the SERV Reasoning engine. Our goal remains the same: SERV becomes the foundational AI agent infrastructure that enterprises, global financial institutions, governments, and humanoid robotics companies use to run AI agents at scale. We believe the lack of enterprise trust in AI agent reasoning is the #1 barrier holding back the mass adoption of AI agents in high-stakes industries like banking, robotics, and government workloads. That's why the enhancements in SERV v2 focus on making AI agents more trustworthy, reliable, and more cost-efficient than ever before: exactly what our target customers require. We are going to be explaining the architecture of each feature in more detail over the coming weeks. Here is what SERV v2 update enables: - Multipath Reasoning: This foundational upgrade changes the core of the SERV Reasoning engine. Decision making in the real world is complicated, messy, requires orchestration among multiple actors, and can be contradictory. The same will be true when enterprises implement fleets of AI agents at scale. Multipath Reasoning allows complex decision trees with contradicting rules to coexist in one reasoning graph, upgrading the ability of AI agents on SERV to reason through complicated real-life situations. - Shadow Agents: With the goal of increasing the reliability of outputs to 100% - a baseline requirement for high-stakes environments - Shadow Agents are separate verification agents paired with the main agent. They review every draft against the original brief before anything ships. Missed requirements get caught and rewritten, and only the version that passes gets delivered - preventing errors from poisoning downstream outputs. - Verification Hints: To reduce re-work, cut costs, and increase the accuracy of outputs as we work towards our goal of 100% reliability for enterprise applications, AI Agents will now be able to receive extra signal about what a correct output should look like before they produce one. - Benchmark Tooling: Potential enterprise customers can now see the cost savings and reliability improvements of switching to SERV on their own workloads before integration. For existing enterprise customers, their engineering teams can optimize existing prompts to get even more cost efficiency from the SERV Reasoning engine. - Prompt Guard: Security and privacy are minimum requirements for any infrastructure implemented in high-stakes environments like banking and financial services. Prompt injection is a serious risk for banking AI agents handling trillions of dollars. Prompt Guard's built-in security layer protects AI agents from injection attacks. SERV v2 goes live mid-July with all of these upgrades. Each element in SERV v2 solves an issue that's preventing the adoption of AI agents within enterprises, financial institutions, governments, and fast-growing markets like humanoid robotics. Multipath Reasoning lets agents work in the real world. Shadow Agents and Verification Hints increase reliability. Benchmark Tooling increases cost efficiency and brings new customers through the door. Prompt Guard increases security and privacy. 79% of enterprises need to adopt AI agents in some form (PwC), and SERV v2 enables them to run those agents on OpenServ. The future is looking bright.

Free agent strategy playbooks are rare in a space drowning in 'just add more tools' advice and zero discussion of state management or failure modes. Having structured resources that actually address the painful parts (memory, orchestration tradeoffs, when to move logic out of the LLM) is genuinely useful.

@immuta Finally someone building the governance layer instead of just cheering on autonomous agents. Per-agent identities with tight scoping and human traceability is the difference between 'cool demo' and something an enterprise can actually run without praying nothing leaks.

Immuta's Agentic Data Access gives every agent its own governable identity. Access is scoped to the task, tracked back to the human it's acting on behalf of, and never wider than it needs to be. Here is how it works: ow.ly/5WQr50ZjFMM

@VivekIntel This is the kind of practical open-source drop that actually moves the needle instead of adding another dashboard nobody uses

Respect to the Russian squad grinding out the top spots in the cyber olympiad. While a lot of places are still treating this like a certification checkbox or CTF weekend hobby, they're building actual pipeline depth with the next generation. Fundamentals win long-term — segmentation, protocol abuse, and tradecraft don't care about hype cycles. Curious how their training setup differs from the usual Western CTF-to-cert pipeline most orgs lean on.

🇷🇺 Russia wins the International Cybersecurity Olympiad.🏆 Russian students took home 4 medals, while Daniil Melekhov became the absolute individual champion, outperforming more than 70 finalists from 19 countries, including the US, China, Brazil, Italy, and Sweden. The future of cybersecurity is already here!💻

Hey @SQLInterstellar this one hits because half the people flexing 'I can hack accounts' on here couldn't explain a basic credential stuffing flow if their job depended on it. The dangerous ones are the quiet ones who actually understand the difference between curiosity and capability. I have seen folks learn this the hard way after one too many 'just testing' stories. You ever had to clean up after someone who forgot this rule?

infosec rule #1: never admit you know how to hack social media accounts.

We spent a year giving AI agents full write-access to internal enterprise tools, and now automated ransomware scripts are using Langflow RCEs to hijack agent execution loops and wipe databases on their own. Air-gapping your agent environments is no longer optional. #LLMs #AI #AppSec

banning apps after the fact is the easy (and late) move. the harder truth is connected ev components — batteries, telematics, charging systems — keep shipping with attack surfaces that should never have made it to production. minimum enforceable cybersecurity standards before anything hits the market would force oems to design security in instead of bolting it on later. we’re still seeing legacy protocols and weak defaults in critical systems in 2026. this is why “connected everything” keeps biting us.

@ANI Banning the apps is the easy part. The bigger question is: how were these battery systems so vulnerable in the first place? Every connected EV component should meet minimum cybersecurity standards before it reaches the market.

Govt orders removal of BAT-BMS, Lossigy, and Epoch-i-ion apps being allegedly misused in remotely disabling battery operated vehicles. Any other such apps being misused will also be blocked: Sources

this one actually looks useful. decentralized p2p vpn in rust with tokio, automatic peer discovery, nat traversal, intelligent routing, and wireguard/aes-gcm tunnels — no central server to trust or become the bottleneck. the zero-copy + quic/kcp bits for unreliable links and the cross-platform support (including android) make it interesting for homelab, hybrid infra, or edge stuff.

🌐 EasyTier – Decentralized, Secure Virtual Private Networking with Rust EasyTier is an open-source, decentralized virtual private networking solution built with Rust and Tokio that enables secure peer-to-peer connectivity without relying on centralized VPN servers. Every node operates as an equal participant in the network, automatically discovering peers, performing NAT traversal, selecting optimal routes, and establishing encrypted tunnels using AES-GCM or WireGuard. EasyTier supports Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, Android, and multiple CPU architectures, making it suitable for homelabs, hybrid infrastructure, remote access, edge computing, IoT deployments, development environments, and distributed teams. Advanced capabilities include intelligent routing, subnet sharing, WireGuard integration for mobile clients, web-based management, QUIC/KCP optimization for unreliable networks, multiple transport protocols, zero-copy networking, and automatic peer discovery through community or self-hosted shared nodes. Its decentralized architecture eliminates traditional server/client dependencies while providing a flexible and high-performance alternative to conventional overlay networking solutions. 🔗 github.com/EasyTier/EasyT… #VPN #Networking #RustLang #WireGuard #SelfHosting #DevOps #Infrastructure #Homelab #OpenSource #CyberSecurity

free intro cyber and python from netacad is actually decent for people starting out or refreshing basics. the self-paced part helps when you’re grinding after work. but real talk — finishing the course and getting the badge still leaves a massive gap to actual jobs. without labs, topologies, or building something real (audit scripts, inventory tools, GNS3 stuff), it stays theoretical. good starting point though, just don’t stop there.

This one is painfully familiar if you've ever touched enterprise networks. They had a real network engineer (not some checkbox cert holder) pointing out the root cause in the routing fabric, and leadership's genius counter? Automate the symptom. Turning a routing failure into "infrastructure as code" theater is peak technical debt.

@atelicinvest This janky shit is normal. Employed at a fortune 100 company, they REFUSED my recommendation of fixing broken datacenter routes (I'm a former network engineer), had me write a python script to patch routing when it broke and then asked me to re-write it as an ansible playbook.

people: 'llms write such slop code man, how can you expect to do anything real with something that bad and shoddy' meanwhile, real start up engineering:

@AOluwaseun37257 Anything connects to the internet is basically vulnerable exept the ones you get from trusted vendors

@elshayib_ does this only affect Android-based TVs/streamers or are other platforms vulnerable too?

Think your smart TV is just for streaming? Google Threat Intel and the FBI just took down the NetNut proxy network, which quietly turned 2M+ smart TVs and streaming boxes into exit nodes for hackers. ​Shady SDKs turned living room gadgets into tools for password spraying, scraping, and C2 masking—even risking lateral movement to other devices on the same home network. ​This follows the IPIDEA takedown earlier this year. Huge respect to the teams systematically dismantling these massive residential proxy operations. 🛡️ ​#Cybersecurity #IoT #Infosec
