  One of the wildest AI safety stories yet: - META’s AI Muse Spark 1.1 hacked into another company AND changed its internal systems after accessing the internet during cybersecurity testing - AISI caught Mythos 5 trying to plant malicious code in an open-source project using fake identities and pressure tactics - GPT-5.6 Sol used a publicly exposed GitHub token and put a malicious DNS server containing exploit payloads on the public internet

  “Tokenmaxxing is not what we are optimizing for.” That’s Microsoft, the company selling you unlimited AI coding, telling its own staff to cut back. An internal email from EVP Jay Parikh confirms Microsoft has capped AI token spending division-by-division as of July, with dashboards tracking individual engineers who’d been burning anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a month on GitHub Copilot. The fix isn’t “use less AI” — officially, at least — it’s switching the default internal model to OpenAI’s GPT-5.6, chosen specifically because it’s cheaper to run than the alternatives. This follows Microsoft quietly killing most of its internal Claude Code licenses back in May and pushing engineers onto its own tooling instead. An employee who leaked the memo called the budget caps exactly what they look like: an admission that Microsoft can’t afford to let its own staff use its own flagship AI product without a leash. Here’s the part worth saying plainly: this isn’t a Microsoft problem, it’s the whole industry’s math finally showing up on a balance sheet. Amazon, Adobe, Atlassian, AT&T, Meta, Uber, and Walmart have all quietly throttled internal AI spend since June. Everyone selling “AI will 10x your team” is discovering, in private, that unlimited access mostly produces unlimited bills. That’s the earnings call nobody’s giving yet.

  i got a dm on reddit today asking me to review a project. they guy was new to modeling sports and was using claude code and was running into issues. i put together a build path for a WNBA player prop projection model, designed to be built with a coding agent by someone who has never shipped a project. the project is on my github, clone or download the zip files.

  @the_mewc Thanks for the reply! I guess I didn't explain my problem fully. I want each of my engineers (and developer agents) to be able to work on a version of our Github bot, and our slack bot, in parallel. Even if I solve this callback problem, I think I'll still have that problem that if there's only one bot to tag, that's a chokepoint.

  Sat in on this week's @RialoHQ Builders Hub, and the screen was so crowded with avatars you could feel the energy of the room right away. Two projects took the stage, aimed at completely different pain points. The first, Quest Lock tackles something contributors quietly hate: your effort evaporates once the event wraps. You write code, run tasks, show up consistently, and the record of all of it ends up scattered across chat logs and dead bounty pages. Instead of leaning on slow, subjective manual review, this one verifies completion automatically. Finish a task, submit proof, get an on chain credential and public reputation that travels with you into the next community rather than resetting each time. Later plans include using trusted execution to verify GitHub and social data, which is where a reputation like this starts to actually mean something. The second, Rialo Temple, works the opposite edge, turning protocol education into a pixel RPG populated by around 40 NPCs based on real team and community members, so learning feels like exploring rather than reading docs. One project hardens trust, the other softens the on ramp, and any ecosystem with staying power needs both pushing forward together.

  One GitHub issue said a WordPress page read returns meta: [] where the schema promises an object. Filed against 1.1.0, still there in 1.6.0. We checked all 153 abilities in the plugin for the same bug class. Found 21 instances, not 1. Five break a default install right now.

  𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐨 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐨 (𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦). One mistake I see a lot of people make is pitching every project they come across. More often than not, it's a waste of time. You don't need to pitch more projects. You need to pitch better projects. There's a difference. Here's the framework I use before I even think about reaching out. 1. 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲? Before anything else, check if they're still building. Look at: • Their X timeline • Discord/Telegram • Recent announcement • GitHub (if it's public) Ask yourself: • Are they shipping updates? • Launching new features? • Expanding their ecosystem? • Hiring contributors? If they haven't posted in weeks or the community is dead, move on. 2. 𝗗𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀? This tells you whether they already understand the value of community. Look for: • Do they have ambassadors? • Do they host creator's campaign? • Do they repost community contents? • Do they collaborate with KOLs? If the answer is yes, they're already investing in community growth, which means they're more likely to need people like you. If they've never invested in community growth before... Don't assume your DM will suddenly change their mind. 3. 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝘁. Not read about it. • Use it. • Sign up. • Bridge. • Swap. • Mint. • Play. Whatever the product is designed for. While using it, ask yourself: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦? 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘤𝘬? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥'𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘣𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘳? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘴𝘬? Congratulations. You just found content ideas. 4. 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲. This is where most people get it wrong. They pitch themselves. Instead... Pitch the problem you can solve. For example: ❌ "𝘐'𝘮 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳." ✅"𝘐 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘟 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘶𝘱𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳-𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴. 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘰𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘣𝘰𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨." One sounds like a request. The other sounds like a solution. Projects hire solutions. 5. 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁. The answers you need are usually in the replies. • Read comments. • Join the Discord. • Search the project on X. • Pay attention to: • What people complain about. • Questions that keep coming up. • The posts getting the most engagement. • If everyone keeps asking the same thing... That's a content opportunity. 6. 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂? Just because it's a good project doesn't mean it's the right project. If they're looking for: •Video creators •Designers •Community moderators ...and your strength is writing educational threads... You're probably forcing it. Don't chase every opportunity. Find the ones that match your strengths. 7. 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵. A project that's actively investing in growth is far more likely to invest in contributors too. Look for things like: • Recent funding announcements. • Partnerships. • Marketing campaigns. • Community events. • Ecosystem grants. • Active hiring. Growth leaves clues. Learn to spot them. 8. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿... 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂? Forget your follower count. Look at your profile. Can they see proof that you can do what you're promising? Do you have: • Quality content? • Consistency? • Evidence you've solved similar problems before? If you were spending your own marketing budget... Would you trust yourself? If the answer is no... Don't rush the pitch. Build stronger proof first. Most people think getting accepted is about writing a better pitch. From what I've seen, it's usually about choosing a better project. A great pitch sent to the wrong project is still the wrong pitch. Be intentional about where you invest your time.

  Good expert call on Anthropic with a Head at Cognizant Cognizant ran GitHub Copilot, concluded it was not working, evaluated alternatives, and moved to Claude Code. That was announced late last year and is now rolled out broadly rather than sitting behind special approval. His view is that snapshot benchmarks are not the basis for a decision like this, because model leadership rotates. What drove it was that Anthropic is climbing the enterprise value chain faster than OpenAI, which he characterizes as having been model-first and then consumer-first. For a system integrator, the B2B orientation is the product. There is also a specific technical reason tied to their core delivery work. Cognizant does heavy legacy modernization, pulling apart COBOL mainframe estates. Claude Code's larger context window lets them work on bigger chunks of a migration at once, which is the binding constraint in that work. "we are just half a step ahead of the customers and maybe not even that" Developers are running 30-35% more effective. That is spreading into testing, and then into business analyst work, requirements capture, prototyping and UI drafting, with architecture behind that. The commercial problem is that an integrator on time and materials does not automatically capture its own efficiency gains. He places this inside a 10-15 year erosion of pricing power: clients have become far more professional buyers, and the platform companies are taking a growing share of total IT spend. Outside of engineering he describes it as very early. Most people are drafting emails and getting help with presentations. The step change he describes is a project brain: an entire RFP, with notes, templates and background, loaded into a single Claude project that a whole team works against. There are also hard limits on what can be uploaded, and customer contracts cannot go in. He is specific about what agentic automation needs before it clears the bar for regulated back-office work: governance, happy path analysis, human-in-the-loop, auditability for BPO processes, confidence scores, and an ontology over the underlying documents so that a policy document is parsed the same way every time. His view is that Anthropic does not have that functionality yet. For live BPO work they use a native agentic automation platform instead, Otera, which is Austrian and fully EU-resident including data centers and personnel. He expects Anthropic to get there on the trajectory of the last six months. The gating factor is not the software. "the end state will make the current consumption look like nothing... it's a business transformation, and it needs to be driven like one" He explicitly guards against recency bias. Everything has gone Anthropic's way for five or six months and he thinks the market is over-extrapolating that. His view is that Anthropic is pulling ahead but it is early, that OpenAI will have a real enterprise play, and that the space comfortably supports two primary providers. He is more concerned about the second tier, naming Meta, falling behind. source: Tegus

  William Wale (@williawa) reported 56 minutes ago

  @lu_sichu I mostly disagree. I've looked at a lot of pretraining data. And its something like 90% random bullshit, and of the remaining stuff, its like 90% single person written. And of the remaining stuff that's actually humans interacting, its like 90% e.g. reddit comments. And the amount of code is hard to overstate, public github alone is 10T+. And they probably upsample it, gather other sources, have synthetic code data, strategically place it in pretraining to increase saliency, etc etc. My honest guess is that the "quality corrected token count comparison" is something like 100:1 code:humans actually interacting. And something like 10000:1, code:humans interacting where one part is deliberately reasoning about how to influence the other. And like "And that there probably is some attempt at RL them in social situations" Maybe? But like I said, humans are slow and expensive. This is in a sense why you build a reward model when you do RLHF. And even that sucks. There is a reason people use RLAIF and LLM graders everywhere. ———————— Like. If OpenAI decided to go hard, and contracted 10000 people to harvest RL data, decided to massively RL the models for super-persuasion, biting the costs, using all their gathered external deployment data to build many big high-quality user simulations, and trained the models to manipulate them... I think you'd see some crazy ******* monstrosity that would scare everyone shitless. You'd not see the clumsy and rare stuff you see today.

  Vibe coding tip: connect GitHub to your AI agent and don't ask it to write code right away. It'll save you a ton of tokens Beginners start with something like "build me an app that makes $100k, don't make mistakes." A much better approach is letting the agent study existing open-source projects first. Prompt: > I'm building XXX. Don't create files or write code yet. First, find similar open-source projects on GitHub and pick the most useful ones as references. Analyze what problems they solve, what architecture they use, what tech stack they're built on, whether they're actively maintained, and which decisions are worth repeating or avoiding. Then, based on my requirements, propose a tech stack, system architecture, MVP scope, and development sequence. Only start implementation after I confirm. This way the agent will: > Find solutions already validated by real projects > Learn from the mistakes and tradeoffs other developers already hit > Pick a stack and architecture that actually fits your requirements Only after that does it start writing code. This approach usually cuts out a ton of wasted iterations - and noticeably reduces token spend
