People don't have ideas. Ideas have people. Make sure the ideas that own you are good ones.

If the next Tom Holland Spider-Man movie doesn't use this song anywhere in it, I'm going to be very sad. The whole point of the Doctor Strange Arc is that nobody knows who he is now! youtu.be/fTm-RapqsOw?si…

Conjecture: If AGI is possible, securing AI is impossible via the very vectors that make AGI possible. (I would love this conjecture to be provably wrong.)
Lenny Rachitsky@lennysan

Why securing AI is harder than anyone expected and the approaching AI security crisis with @SanderSchulhoff Sander is a leading researcher in the field of adversarial robustness, which is the art and science of getting AI systems to do things they shouldn't do, through jail-breaking and prompt injection. What Sander shares in this conversation is essentially that all of the AI systems we use day to day are open to being tricked into doing things they shouldn’t, that there isn’t really a solution to this problem, and that the companies that try to sell solutions for this are mostly BS. This conversation has nothing to do with AGI, this is a problem today. And that that the only reason we haven’t seen massive hacks and serious damage from AI tools is so far because they haven’t been given that much power yet, and they aren’t that widely adopted yet. But with the rise of agents (who can take actions on your behalf), and robots, and even AI powered browsers, the risk is going to increase very quickly. This is a really important topic and that opened my mind, and scared me, and it's something that we all need to have a basic understanding of as AI becomes more prevalent in our lives. Inside: 🔸 A primer on jailbreaking and prompt injection attacks 🔸 Why AI guardrails don’t work 🔸 Why we haven’t seen major AI security incidents yet (but soon will) 🔸 Why AI browser agents are extremely vulnerable 🔸 The practical steps organizations should take instead of buying ineffective security tools 🔸 Why solving this requires merging classical cybersecurity expertise with AI knowledge Listen now 👇 • YouTube: youtu.be/J9982NLmTXg • Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0IZE32… • Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the… Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for supporting the podcast: 🏆 @datadoghq — Now home to Eppo, the leading experimentation and feature flagging platform: datadoghq.com/lenny 🏆 @getmetronome — Monetization infrastructure for modern software companies: metronome.com 🏆 @gofundme Giving Funds — Make year-end giving easy: gofundme.com/lenny

Maybe this time really is different. 1992, they sat us CS undergrads down, "you might want to consider a different career" & "the jobs will be gone" b/c "the 4GL are coming" Then they invented Data Science, 4GL because SQL Will it happen again?
Deedy@deedydas

A few software engineers at some of the best tech cos told me this week "My entire job these days is prompting Cursor or Claude Code with Opus 4.5 to do what I need and sanity checking it." We've crossed some intangible threshold of AI generalizing to "most" software.

BREAKING CUDA MOAT EXPANDS: Today, NVIDIA has acquired SchedMD, makers of SLURM, a widely used "open source" workload scheduler. Many AI companies such as Mistral, Thinking Machines, parts of Meta's FAIR division, university academic labs use SLURM. NVIDIA's acquisition expands the CUDA moat to a new layer, as many customers trying to use alternative AI accelerator chips like AMD, Intel, etc. also rely on SLURM (a lot use k8s too). Unlike Run:AI & DGX Lepton, which nobody uses, a lot of people use SLURM. (1\2) 🧵

The largest advancement of the CUDA platform since its creation in 2006 is here 👀 Introducing CUDA Tile, a tile-based programming model that provides the ability to write algorithms at a higher level and abstract away the details of specialized hardware, such as tensor cores.

It turns out Generative AI can radically improve your kLOC. And, we all know the best developers deliver large kLOC. /s ... notice the dripping sarcasm

Saying children shouldn't learn programming anymore because of AI is like saying children shouldn't learn calligraphy anymore because of typewriters.

FizzBuzz is an absurdly good test. It shouldn't be as good as it is.
