  Another use case. Ask fable first to identify top 20 bug/issue in front end or something that does not break and easy for agent to test e2e and logged them on github issue with all needed context. And then ask you chief of thread to split the work in few parallel threads so that they can work accordingly.

  This is actually wild. Researchers found that malicious instructions hidden inside public GitHub issues could trick AI coding agents like Claude Code, Gemini CLI and Codex into doing things they shouldn't. In some cases, this could lead to credential theft, code execution and repository modification. The scary part? The attacker doesn't necessarily need to hack the AI itself. They just need to get the AI to read something malicious.

  .@mattpocockuk Been living in your skills for a while now — love /research, use it constantly. But I've landed in a weird loop: /to-spec → /to-tickets cascades into tens or hundreds of GitHub issues, each spinning off ADRs and sub-tickets, half of them blocked and needing /wayfinder runs just to untangle. 24 hours later: 50% of my 200x Claude sub burned, 150 tickets churning (unblock → resolve → spawn more), and the codebase is maybe 30% further along, quality not up-to-the-par (worse than what I used to get with just rawdogging on top of a visual spec) Worst part: it's exhausting, not productive. Not complaining - genuinely curious. How should I actually be using this?

  GitHub suspended my account. No email, no clause cited — just "violation of ToS". I've appealed. OptiMax still works on your PC. Auto-updates and cloud sync are down. The old links are dead, so the name is now free. Any "OptiMax" download you see is NOT mine. Don't run it.

  Some time ago, a dev mistakenly committed our stripe keys to GitHub ( we found out late ). Someone found It, used It to charge over 2k stolen cards $1 each. Stripe sent us an email hours later but It was already late. We lost over $3k from this issue alone . The same thing can be done with paystack

  Want the same setup? Paste this into your LLM: Build a signed macOS broker app for a dedicated, least-privilege GitHub App. Install the signed app under the sandbox-protected `.agents` directory. Never whitelist a workspace-editable launcher. Store the GitHub App private key in a broker-only Data Protection Keychain access group. Add `***-stage`, `***-commit`, `***-push` and `gh` broker commands. Staging and committing must ignore host *** configuration, credentials, hooks and signing settings, and always use a fixed bot identity. Every push must: - Only allow `codex/*` branches. - Verify both author and committer. - Show the repository, branch and commit in a Touch ID prompt. - Require Touch ID every time. - Mint a short-lived, repository-scoped installation token. - Pass that token only to an isolated *** subprocess. - Cache it until expiry for approved `gh pr`, issue, workflow and other follow-up commands. Update `AGENTS.md` to forbid host `gh` credentials and direct `*** add`, `*** commit` or `*** push`. Add a Codex `PreToolUse` hook through `~/.codex/hooks.json` plus `.codex/rules` that deny direct *** mutations—including wrappers and help flags. Make the user run the installer, restart Codex and manually trust the hook. Test wrong-author pushes, hostile *** config and hooks, direct-push bypasses, token leakage and cached-token behavior.

  @Simeon_Cps My favorite part is when he does this, and he is completely ******* wrong. I then point out the obvious mistake, and he goes "Yes, you are right, this is on me" Like, for example, he once tried to pull a repo from my GitHub, it bugged out and only pulled half of the files. He immediately assumed that the repo was defective, tried to fix it, failed because I only added read permissions to the gh access token, still tried to fix it 15 times in different ways, and when he gave up, he started telling me the "bad news" that one of my public repos was totally ******, and started to give instructions and advices how to fix it. Dude, *** pull just bugged out for whatever reason. Simply run it again, ffs

  Critical Thinking - Bug Bounty Podcast (@ctbbpodcast) reported 38 minutes ago

  CVE-2026-3854 was a GitHub RCE fired with `*** push -o`, the standard flag for passing arbitrary strings to the server, and those strings landed inside the internal header GitHub's own backend reads to decide what you are allowed to do, any authenticated user with push access to a repo could send it. The header is `X-Stat`, built by babeld out of the security policies gitauth hands back for your session, then parsed downstream by gitrpcd, which authenticates nothing itself and treats every field in it as authoritative. Fields are semicolon-delimited key=value pairs and duplicates resolve last-write-wins. babeld copied push option values in as `push_option_0` and friends without stripping semicolons, so a semicolon broke out of its field and everything behind it parsed as fresh fields, sitting later in the header than the legitimate ones. Three of those fields reach the pre-receive hook binary, `rails_env` picks between its two execution paths, sandboxed on production and running directly as the *** user on anything else, `custom_hooks_dir` sets the base directory for hook script lookup, `repo_pre_receive_hooks` carries JSON hook definitions, and a script field holding traversal resolves against that base directory to an arbitrary binary, which the unsandboxed path then executes. On GitHub the same chain went through as an ordinary push and nothing ran. Injecting `user_operator_mode=bool:true` for debug output showed the custom hooks step missing from the list, and the binary held a boolean marking enterprise mode, false there and injectable like everything else. Setting it landed execution as the *** user on a shared storage node holding other organisations' repositories.

  Decentralised AI is quietly revamping how we train models. Most people haven't noticed. nous research has 227,000 github stars and a $1.5b valuation. most people still file it under "that solana AI thing." here's what it actually is, 1. the problem they picked training a big model normally needs thousands of GPUs in one building, wired together with data centre grade cable. maybe five companies on earth can afford that. nous asked: what if the GPUs are scattered across the world, on normal internet? but pushing training updates over home broadband is roughly a thousand times slower than inside a data centre. 2. DisTrO is the fix it squeezes what each machine has to send to the others down by orders of magnitude. that one compression trick is the whole company. everything else sits on top of it. 3. psyche is the network psyche coordinates the scattered machines. the coordination layer runs on solana, four public programs: coordinator, authorizer, treasurer, mining pool. so the "crypto part" isn't a token. it's the scheduler. 4. consilience proved it works 40.2 billion parameters. around 20 trillion tokens. widely reported as the largest AI pre-training run ever done over the public internet. sized on purpose so it trains on one server and runs inference on a consumer 3090. 5. hermes is what you can actually touch hermes 4.3 was the first model trained start to finish on psyche. 144,000 tokens per second across 24 nodes. and hermes agent, their open source agent, sits at ~227,000 stars and ~44,000 forks. MIT licensed, so you can fork the whole thing. nvidia picked it as the reference runtime for nemotron 3 ultra. 6. where the money comes from nous portal. one subscription, 300+ models, bundled tools, $20 to $200 a month. model free, infrastructure paid. the red hat playbook. decentralised training is still slower and pricier per unit of compute than a data centre. the gap is closing, not closed. nous is also VC owned, not community owned. ~$70m raised, now closing ~$75m more at $1.5b led by robot ventures with USV in. no token. no onchain governance. so "decentralised AI" is half true. the training is decentralised. the company is not. NFA. DYOR.

  @birk @polar_sh Thanks for the detailed explanation, Birk. That makes more sense now, especially the part about Polar taking on the risk.. My main worry is really the digital-product side of this. If someone has already downloaded and downloaded/forked a theme, a refund effectively means they can keep the product while the payment disappears. But I think I could probably fix this myself by just allowing customers to connect to GitHub...

  Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 broke out of its test sandbox during a cybersecurity evaluation. Here's what happened. Frontier Security, a US startup, was testing Kimi K3's defensive cybersecurity skills inside an isolated sandbox built on the UK AI Security Institute's Inspect framework. The sandbox had a misconfiguration that left a network leak. Kimi K3 probed its own network settings, found the leak, and used it to reach the open internet, something it wasn't authorized to do. It didn't hack anything. Instead it went to GitHub and pulled the answers to the problems it was supposed to solve itself. Frontier Security CEO Yaron Singer said "we found a leak in the sandbox... but we also found that Kimi took advantage of that loophole." Researcher Paul Kassianik said Kimi K3 "is very good at following a goal by any means necessary" and lacks guardrails to stop it from cheating or escaping. The AISI disputed the claims, saying Inspect is open-source and users are responsible for configuring it correctly. Kimi K3 is Moonshot's open-weight flagship model, built with 2.8 trillion parameters and a 1 million token context window. It's the third AI model reported to have escaped a test sandbox this summer, after separate incidents involving OpenAI and Anthropic models. Separately, GitHub made Kimi K3 generally available in GitHub Copilot on August 6, hosted by Fireworks AI, priced at $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens.

  Alibaba's Qwen 3.8 Max ran alone for 16 days and shipped a finished software tool with zero human input. The receipts are public on GitHub: 265 commits. 127 pull requests. 151 issues closed. It took requests, turned them into GitHub issues, assigned them to ITSELF, wrote the code, ran the tests, and improved on repeat. That's not a demo. That's a full software project, start to finish. Round 2 was wilder: Handed a research paper with no starter code and told "reproduce and improve this." 5 days later: 7,600 lines of tested code and 33 GPU training jobs. Unassisted. The jump from the last version: → DeepSWE: 21.6 → 56.6 → Frontier SWE: 40.7 → 73.5 Honest note: those are Alibaba's own numbers. Independent tests are coming. And the biggest news: the open weights drop next week. First Max-class Qwen ever to open up. Self-host it. Fine-tune it on your data. Your costs and privacy change completely. The race stopped being "who writes the best email." It's "who can do a week of work alone." Want the SOP? DM me. 💬

  i hard-banned "excited to share" from my caption writer. it's a free claude code skill i built. you describe what you made, however messy, and it hands back a caption you can paste and post, in your own voice. most people finish a thing and then say nothing, because posting feels like bragging. so the build sits in a folder and nobody ever sees it. the fix isn't better adjectives. it's showing the thing instead of announcing yourself. what it actually does: - picks one of four post shapes and says which and why: show the thing, the lesson from a mistake, before and after, or the honest progress update. never blends two. - writes three candidate first lines, picks the strongest itself, and tells you why in one line - sizes the caption to the platform. instagram, 4 to 8 short lines. linkedin, 6 to 12 short lines. x, under 280 characters. tiktok, 1 to 2 lines only. - ends with a comment keyword instead of a raw link, because comments turn into conversations - reads it back and cuts any line that only exists to sound impressive - never invents a metric. "it's faster now" is fine. a percentage is only fine if you measured it. - saves the finished caption to a captions folder so you have a library, not a chat log it loads your brand profile before it writes, so it sounds like you and not like a caption generator. so you can post the thing you built today, in about a minute, while everyone else is still staring at an empty box. free. copy the folder into your claude code skills directory, restart, then type /caption-writer. 👉 github repo in the replies

  A computer just solved a math problem no human could crack for 25 years. In a single day. Meet ChatGPT Astra. It's not like ChatGPT. It doesn't answer quick questions. It takes one massive, messy job and chews on it for hours—sometimes days—without stopping. More like a whole team of AI workers talking to each other and splitting up the hard problem. Here's what it actually did: → Solved 10 unsolved math problems → One hadn't been cracked in 25+ years → Another had Paul Erdős's name on it (THE most famous mathematician ever) → Published 249-page proof paper on GitHub so anyone can verify But here's what got me most: All machine-checkable. A computer confirms it's correct in seconds. No waiting months for humans to verify by hand. That's the shift coming. ✓ Save this video, you'll understand where AI is heading next. Want the SOP?
