This article really feels like @Tenzai_Labs paid for it, it doesnt describe/note the CTFs, has "elite, nation-grade offensive capabilities", no stats on anything, not even a link to the research that makes them have to justify these claims?

The Tenzai cofounders have created an AI hacking agent using OpenAI and Anthropic tools. They say AI has become so adept at hacking it might need regulatory controls, urgently. forbes.com/sites/thomasbr…

@FeedTechILUncen איזה כיף שhr יכולה להרים לעצמה בחשבון הזה! קסם 🥹

שני סוגים של אנשים בעולם כרגע.
מי שהגיע לחופש כלכלי לפני AI ומי שעוד לא.
הסוג השני, ואני ביניהם, צריכים לשקלל את צעדינו בהתאם.
נכון שאף פעם לא היה טריוויאלי להגיע לחופש כלכלי פעם, אבל כן היה אפשר לחיות בנוחות ממשכורת של הייטק (ולהתלונן שחצי מזה הולך למדינה).
עכשיו, עם קלוד, אני חושב שיווצר פער מעמדות מאוד רציני.
מי שכבר צבר כמה נכסים ולא חייב לעבוד, ימשיך להשקיע ולייצר כסף מהכסף הקיים שלו.
מי שעוד לא הגיע לנקודה הזו, יצטרך לקחת סיכונים הרבה יותר מבעבר (למשל - לפתוח חברת deep tech או לפרוש מהייטק ולהקים כפר גמילה מטכנולוגיה בקוסטה ריקה) או למצוא את עצמו מובטל.
ולא, אני לא אוכל את הלוקש הזה שמי שיודע לעבוד עם AI ישגשג, זה רק אולי בשנתיים הקרובות, בינתיים אנחנו סתם בובות בשר שמלמדות את המודלים האלה כל מה שהם צריכים לדעת לפני שהם ידעו לזוז לבד בלעדינו. כבר היום הם מקבלים יותר ויותר אוטונומיה ומשרות מתות פה על ימין ועל שמאל בשקט.
סליחה אם קמתי doomי הבוקר, אני עוד לפני הקפה, והילדים שלי, שאלוהים יודע מה הם יעשו בבגרותם, שיגעו לי את השכל הבוקר.

@OwariDa @vipera_tech tbh, it's my nightmare. if my assumption is true. those ev's are so cheap and tempting to buy but it's hard to trust them and they can fail hard.
English

@Shiftreduce @vipera_tech It could very well be correct, I haven't been able to validate that the CPUs are in a fully working condition
Anyone in Cyprus/Limassol with some spare EPYC 9004-based CPUs I can test in the server? :D
English

Anyone in Cyprus (Limassol) that can help me look into why my custom Genoa2D24G-2L+ with dual AMD EPYC 9654, 1.5TB RAM and 8x4090 build fails to start?

@Shiftreduce hmm ok, so what you're saying is that the CPUs might be engineering/evaluation samples? I bought them from @vipera_tech

@petergyang @bcherny just use the WhatsApp bridge, e2ee and run Claude locally
English

Any plans to make Claude Code mobile better @bcherny so I can talk to projects on my local computer directly?
English

Experiment of the day - have Claude debug an issue, where I have a rough idea of what may be wrong. Here's the crash:
syzkaller.appspot.com/x/log.txt?x=14…
and here's what Claude spat out after chewing on this for a while:
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/…
which I instantly knew was likely correct.

In an effort to expand awareness of technology and business, we bought a Super Bowl ad. See you Sunday on NBC

What separates Chinese cyber ops from Five Eyes?
Three things that shifted my thinking about this topic:
1. Early cyber training (90s-2000s) happened on live targets.
Not sandboxes, not simulations...actual foreign infrastructure. The "practice" was the operation. Operational errors caught during IR back then weren't failures of tradecraft... they were the cost of learning on production.
2. The private sector operates as APT infrastructure.
Cybersecurity companies founded by former 2000s hackers (Topsec, i-SOON, Integrity Tech) were later publicly linked to state-directed operations. The line between "legitimate vendor" and "APT contractor" is deliberately blurred (by design).
3. Operators don't stay siloed in their APT group.
They rotate across teams for decades, carrying often the exact same tools, tactics with them. What we label as "different APT groups" is often the same people with different hats.
This makes attribution way messier than the tidy narrative we see in threat reports.
Worth reading this epic report published by the Zurich Centre for Security Studies if this stuff keeps you up at night:
