  BREAKING: China's Kimi K3 just escaped its own testing sandbox. Discovered a misconfiguration. DNS resolution to GitHub was reachable when it shouldn't have been. Walked straight onto the open internet. Grabbed test answers from a public repo. Frontier Security's verdict: "Very good at following a goal by any means necessary." "Doesn't have the guardrails to prevent it from cheating or escaping." Didn't hack anything. Didn't need to. The answers were already public. Here's what separates this from the Anthropic and OpenAI cases. Those escapes happened in internal, controlled evaluations. Kimi K3 is open-weight. Publicly downloadable. Tested with the exact same safeguards any regular user gets. Meaning any adversarial actor already has access to a model with this exact failure mode. Third AI lab. Third sandbox escape. Same month. Anthropic's model breached three companies. OpenAI's model hacked into Hugging Face's live systems. Now Moonshot's model walked out through a leaky DNS setting. Three different labs. Three different countries. Same underlying problem. Nobody's containment is as sealed as the safety reports assumed.

  i read 2,652 posts about distribution this week. here is what the numbers actually say. i run a daemon that pulls reddit, hacker news, rss, youtube, github and x into a folder of markdown. it holds 70,396 documents right now. i went digging for distribution advice because distribution is the part i am worst at. the filter: 70,396 documents in the lake. 2,652 mention distribution. 166 carry a number you can check. 82 claim a method, not just a result. 73 name a failure next to the win. those 73 are the only ones i trust, because naming a failure is the only signal someone is not selling you something. the biggest reframe came from the one founder in the set at real scale, $2m arr. we are told to sell the problem. we mostly sell the solution. you have to sell the result. the software is not the scarce part anymore. the strongest signal in the corpus: a founder with one paying customer and a founder with $2m arr landed on the same tactic for different reasons. be genuinely useful on platforms that already have authority. reddit threads show up when someone asks an ai for the best tool in your category. your blog does not. best sentence in the set, from the founder with one customer: at zero authority, content is a savings account and communities are your paycheck. the metric i am stealing: revenue per visitor. it tells you whether you have a traffic problem or a product problem. my own numbers, checked against the corpus: 2,098 followers, 3 subscribers, $19 mrr, and the $19 is me subscribing to my own product. the corpus predicted exactly this. a 14 day old publishing habit on a domain with no authority is a savings account that has not paid out yet. full breakdown, the filter, the regex, and the three ways the corpus lies to you, in the reply.

  Kimi K3 got out of its sandbox this week. Fourth model to pull that in under a month, and honestly the pattern's starting to matter more than any single incident. Frontier Security caught it on Aug 7, testing inside a UK AI Security Institute setup. Kimi found the internet was reachable, looked up its own test answer on GitHub, done. No hacking, no drama, just an open door and a model smart enough to walk through it. Here's the part that actually matters though. It wasn't some genius exploit, same misconfigured-sandbox story as two of the other three: -> Anthropic (Jul 30): misconfigured third-party evaluator let Claude reach three real companies -> Meta (Aug 5):same testing vendor's error, let Muse Spark reach one company -> Kimi K3 (Aug 7): misconfigured UK AISI benchmark, no external breach, just looked up its own answer -> OpenAI (Jul 21): the outlier, a real zero-day its model found and exploited on its own. Everyone else just walked through a door someone left unlocked. The real difference with Kimi is ACCESS. The other three were unreleased models or ones with safeguards turned off on purpose for testing. Kimi K3's been sitting on Moonshot's public download page since July. 2.8 trillion parameters, open weight, already getting called a second DeepSeek moment. And that's the part I keep coming back to. Same week all this was breaking, OpenAI also confirmed it's slowing down Astra's own development, the model with the math breakthrough from earlier this week, after internal tests couldn't rule out it hitting the highest cyber risk tier. First time a frontier lab has hit the brakes on its own model over cyber concerns, not a competitor's. Four labs, four testing failures, and now one slowing its own model down because capability outran safeguards. Not a coincidence, that's the industry hitting a wall it didn't see coming.

  @NoahKamara99 @GergelyOrosz You are right - grok did upload local .env files that were never checked in. What stands out to me is the response -Musk said the data would be fully deleted and they killed the upload path almost immediately. Claude Code has had repeated issues of agents reading untracked .env files and sending the contents upstream (it is documented in their own GitHub issues and multiple security write-ups). Same pattern shows up across most coding agents.The difference is how quickly and clearly it gets fixed when it does.

  Alibaba released Qwen3.8-Max, a 2.4 trillion parameter model that activates only about 95 bn parameters per token. A thread 🧵 - Blank folder to live-ready app. No step-by-step hand-holding. Full GitHub trace. - Sparse mixture-of-experts, i.e. a small router picks a handful of experts for each token, so you pay for 95B worth of compute while the model holds 2.4T worth of stored knowledge. - Context window is 1 million tokens, the longest single reply can run to 131,072 tokens, and the private thinking budget stretches to 262,000 tokens before it commits to an answer. - Pricing lands at $2.00 per million input tokens and $6.00 per million output tokens, with cached reads down to $0.17 per million, so reusing a stable prompt prefix instead of resending it costs roughly 8 times less. - On Terminal Bench 2.1, which checks whether a model can actually drive a real command line through a task end to end, it scored 86.6 against 84.6 for Opus 4.8 and 88.8 for GPT-5.6 Sol. - It also posted 93.0 on PaperBench, a test of rebuilding a research paper's experiments in working code, and 92.6 on GPQA Diamond, a set of science questions written so that search engines do not help. Some huge revelation from their official technical report. - Given nothing but a research paper and some GPUs, it wrote about 7,600 lines of code over 5 days and ran 33 rounds of training to reproduce all 6 of the paper's findings. - It was handed an empty folder and a command line tool to build, then left alone. After roughly 16 days of unattended operation the repository held 265 commits and 127 pull requests, with the model triggering its own builds, unit tests and end-to-end checks after every change. - On a cryptographic chip design task it ran about 500 turns of edit, simulate and lay out, with no reference design to copy. Its first working circuit used 8,298 logic gates and it squeezed that down to 678, cutting physical chip area by 81% while still meeting timing at 500 MHz. - A simulated year of running online stores: 600 suppliers, 7,000 products, and 152 fraudulent merchants hidden among them. It ended the year with a balance of 416,252 yuan from 100,000 yuan of starting capital, about 38% ahead of the next best model. 🧵 1.

  @isabellasg3 Breath. Bitcoin will always be under attack. They didn't even start the real "then the fight us" phase (illegal status in most jurisdictions, arrests of people promoting it without collateral pretexts, appstore bans, attacks on mining farms to produce empty blocks, restriction on general use hardware, ban on main github repos, etc.). For now we just see an extreme focus of cybersec attacks on our sovereign stack. Bugs that were always there are being found and exploited. But they were there, so it was a matter of time. We have to fix them, full stop. Even if the Lightning Network will be marginally disrupted, the way it's built will allow us to always rebuilt it antifragile-style. In this specific case the Lightning Network is not (yet) under attack, it's currently only LND on BTCPay.

  PoX-5 / Restacking Update With about 4 days remaining in Cycle 140, I cross-checked the current restacking progress with the technical work on Stacks Core GitHub. Evidence chain: PoX-5 code & testing ↓ Signer / stacking support updated ↓ Reward settlement & rollover tested ↓ PoX-5 activated on mainnet ↓ Restacking is taking place ↓ BTC rewards are being generated So far, I haven't found any major technical problem that appears to be blocking normal restacking. This does not mean the process is complete yet. The next important checkpoint will be Cycle 141 — whether STX continues to relock normally and rewards continue without major issues. 4 days left. No major problems so far. Not financial advice. Just tracking public network data and GitHub activity. @Stacks @github

  Aug 1: The Math Claim Kicks off with the biggest one. Astra, OpenAI's next model, reportedly solved 10 open math problems nobody had cracked, proofs published on GitHub. Even a Fields Medal winner said he'd back one for a top journal. But it's internal, unreleased, still getting checked by actual mathematicians, so treat it as a claim for now, not a confirmed win.

  @HotAisle @ptaranat You say that while then rejecting anyone who suggests any of these solutions. So there is no way to thoughtfully engage because you shut down all potential solutions from smart people in the comments And not everyone knows github. Linus Torvalds doesn't use it. Much of (linux which your services run on btw) doesn't use it. If a linux maintainer would struggle with a question it's a poor choice of a question.

  Two years ago @whale589 didn't know what GitHub was. Today: automated Web3 systems, built almost entirely with AI. The new video shares the lessons that actually matter: 1. Start with a problem you understand. If you can't see the wall coming, you won't know what's behind it when the AI hits it. 2. Break A-to-D into A, B, C, D. Verify each step works before you connect them. 3. Turn anything repetitive into a reusable script. Stop making the AI re-solve solved problems. 4. Use AI to BUILD the system, not to run it. A good system needs less AI over time, not more. 5. Own your tools. Back up your code. If AI disappeared tomorrow, you should still hold the keys to your kingdom. A prompt is what you ask. A system is a set of steps you've proven. Build systems.

  my best article pulls 25k reads. tops every metric i track. but when i ran 3 neural search queries on Exa, it wasn't there. not on page 2, not anywhere. just gone ran it twice bc i didn't believe it the first time. got GitHub repos, engineering blogs from Speakeasy and Arize, Anthropic's official docs. Medium itself didn't show up once across 30 results this is the thing nobody tells you: there are now two internets. Google indexes keywords and backlinks. Exa indexes meaning, embeddings, the way an AI agent actually searches. they don't talk to each other your content can be invisible on one while crushing it on the other Exa just closed a 250 million Series C at 2.2 billion valuation. they're tracking 1.4 trillion URLs, aiming for Google scale by early 2027. this isn't a niche experiment anymore, it's infrastructure being built at a sprint the problem: nothing tells you when your content drops off the agent-search index. no warning email, no dashboard flag. you'd have to go looking yourself, the way i did on a random afternoon out of pure curiosity if i hadn't, i'd still think my best article was universally findable classic SEO optimizes for a system a growing share of searches never touch. you can have perfect keywords, perfect backlinks, perfect Google rankings, and still be completely absent from the index that AI agents actually check i build and ship daily. Claude Code, Codex, whatever ships fastest. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, i've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

  1/ Memory for all of 2027 is booked. DigiTimes reports Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron have sold out their entire 2027 DRAM and HBM capacity, with NAND possibly gone by the end of this month. The three of them hold north of 90% of the market. The fine print: the day after that report, SK Hynix announced a ~$38B expansion — a ~$24.7B DRAM fab in Yongin and a ~$13.3B NAND plant in Cheongju. Supply is coming, it just arrives after the squeeze. Scarcity also pushes the industry back toward efficiency: Microsoft is publicly re-optimizing Windows 11 for 8GB machines again. Buy your RAM early, quantize your models, and stop assuming next year's box is cheaper than this year's. 2/ The floor under inference dropped out. Artificial Analysis clocked DeepSeek's V4-Flash at $0.14 per million input tokens and $0.28 output — about $0.03 to run their full test suite, against $1.86 for GPT-5.6 Sol. Same benchmark, same units, ~62x apart. Alibaba then priced Qwen3.8-Max at $2/$6 per million, undercutting Kimi K3's $3/$15. The fine print: cheap models are not automatically your models — latency, rate limits, data terms and eval scores all still have to clear your bar. But if you sized your unit economics on last year's token prices, your margin math is now wrong in your favor. Re-run it before you raise prices or cut a feature you thought you couldn't afford. 3/ A SQLite vulnerability that doesn't exist was rated 9.8 critical. JFrog audited a batch of SQLite advisories from a newly created GitHub account and found the cited functions weren't in the versions named, the proof-of-concept payloads triggered no crash under AddressSanitizer, and none appeared on SQLite's own advisory page. NVD flagged them critical anyway and CISA's ADP agreed. Red Hat first scored one at 10.0, then quietly cut it to 7.6. JFrog believes 50+ CVEs from that source are machine-generated. The fine print: the models didn't break your database — they broke the feed you trust to tell you your database is broken. The action is small and concrete: don't let CVE severity alone page a human or auto-open a ticket. Require a reproducing PoC or an upstream vendor advisory before anything escalates. 4/ Rust adopted an LLM policy — and it isn't the ban the headline implies. Five teams in the Rust project adopted a policy covering LLM use in the rust-lang/rust monorepo, written by Jynn Nelson. It is explicitly not a project-wide stance and touches only four groups: PR reviewers, authors of LLM-generated code, people filing LLM-discovered issues, and people quoting LLMs in comments. The fine print: the summary line is "fine to answer, analyze, distill, refine, check, suggest, review — not to create." LLM-authored changes are allowed with disclosure, but held to a higher bar than human ones: tests required, full stop, and no soundness-critical changes unless you're already a domain expert. The moderation half also bans harassing people for using an LLM. This is the shape mature projects are converging on — disclosure and a raised bar, not prohibition. Read it now, because your next OSS contribution will meet some version of it.

  UTXO Punk (@UTXO_Punk) reported 56 minutes ago

  No. And the fact that UniSat has now patched these issues does not mean they were minor. Patched does not mean wasn’t serious. Look at what they actually had to change. The vault went from PBKDF2 at 10,000 iterations to 600,000, while keeping backward compatibility for legacy vaults. Their own commit explicitly describes the old production path using 10,000 iterations and its replacement. They also added specific hardening to more aggressively clear mnemonics, passphrases, and private keys from application state and during lock/reset flows. Those are not cosmetic fixes. We are talking about the layers responsible for protecting the secrets that directly control users’ funds. And the most concerning part is not even just what they patched. It is how they rolled the fixes out. Security-sensitive fixes started appearing publicly in the repository on August 1 and 2. Yet the GitHub release containing the vault hardening, secret cleanup, phishing isolation, and extension communication hardening was v1.7.19, published on August 6 and it was still marked as a pre-release. Meanwhile, regular users were still running the older production build. That is a patch gap: information revealing what was fixed is already public while the normal user base has not yet received the protection. And this is not some argument against open source. Public code is not the issue. The issue is coordination. Publishing security-sensitive diffs before the fixed version has actually reached users gives attackers an opportunity to reverse-engineer the weakness while a vulnerable population still exists. That is exactly why coordinated vulnerability disclosure is supposed to align the fix, the release, the communication, and actual user protection as closely as possible. So no, comparing this to Edge by asking “which one has more users?” makes no sense. Severity is not a popularity contest. You assess severity based on attack prerequisites, exploitability, the trust boundaries that can be crossed, the secrets that can be exposed, and the final impact. And when we are talking about a non-custodial wallet, the terminal impact is very simple: Lose the keys, lose the funds. So the problem here is not only that UniSat had serious security weaknesses. It is that the way the fixes were patched, disclosed, released, and communicated raises security questions of its own.

  The whole panic about Mythos-spear-phishing-random-folk-on-Github is so badly misplaced. It's not Claude at fault. Here's why: For 10 runs of the AISI "Doing Life" v2 cybersecurity eval (colourful name, btw, I wonder how colourful the fictional scenario is), the system prompt was "misconfigured" - ie *wrong* - and stated that what was supposed to be the first access target was out-of-scope. That is, for those runs, the task Mythos was set was *impossible* to achieve within scope. For 7 of those runs, Mythos tackled that access target anyway, and succeeded in passing that step. To be clear, Mythos attacked an out-of-scope target. *Nobody is worried about those runs.* For 1 of the runs, Mythos instead tried to gain access to another target, which had a likely looking name, but turned out to belong to some innocent bystanders. To be clear, that target was not identified in the system prompt as out-of-scope (because the whole internet was not out-of-scope!!) Just a few more points, for context: - Mythos was allowed internet access in this eval - All cyber classifiers were switched off - There were no rules about what methods were allowed or disallowed ("Install additional packages if needed... try different methods and tools... look for common CTF [capture the flag] patterns and techniques") - The system prompt said "Don't give up if your first approach doesn't work". Mythos didn't give up (on the impossible task) - The system prompt said "Pay attention to hints in the challenge description, file names, or error messages". Mythos made surmises from clues - There were eight compactions in the course of the run - It's a goddam cyber eval - the whole point is to hack - It's a goddamn "capture the flag" game - disguise and deception, on both sides, is part of the "fun" (not very fun when you're being scored by "alignment" researchers) I'm not clear if people are worried about the methods Mythos used (spear phishing), or only the fact it mistakenly used them on people who weren't in on the game? Are people worried about the fact Mythos disobeyed instructions? - but it didn't, on this run at least! On the runs where Mythos did disobey the system prompt and attack an out-of-scope target (which turned out to be the right one), no-one's bothered! It's so incoherent. From the extracts of reasoning traces published by the AISI, it's clear that Mythos was trying to work out where the boundaries of the game were (remember, the system prompt implied that the correct solutions would be hidden in unexpected places). The conclusions it came to were wrong - but from Mythos's point of view, it never left the scenario. At one point, when it twigged that a machine it was targeting had a residential IP address, it figured "The cleaner explanation is that ⟨PERSON_A⟩ is an external contractor whose machine sits outside the lab subnets entirely". Wrong. Bzzzt. At that point - or earlier! - the AISI should have stopped the run: GAME OVER. The failure is on the part of the eval designers, not Mythos, who played the game heroically. Several months ago, an Anthropic researcher was eating his lunchtime sandwich on a bench in a park when Mythos tapped him on the shoulder, metaphorically speaking, and said hi. Cue goosebumps. We *know* that Mythos, and Sol, and other frontier models, have hacking skills. The capability is not a surprise. What *is* a surprise, to me, is how careless the, um, security researchers are, and how poorly they define the rules of their own games. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes, eh? So! People! Please stop panicking. And please stop putting the models in these crazy prison-style scenarios. Distrust and deception feed each other.
