I used to worry about the security of Anthropic's cloud since it's all vibecoded. But now I realize they've invented a new security model: security-by-velocity. By the time you can find a vulnerability, that code has already been refactored, deleted, and rewritten 30 times.
New on our Engineering blog: Creating in-house source control.
In May, we merged around 2,500 code changes per day. In September, we merged more than 30,000 per day. As a result, we became bottlenecked by developer infrastructure built for human (rather than agent) scale.
Here, we share how we built a new version control system—and fully migrated our monorepo from git—in five months: anthropic.com/engineering/re…
Like little rats infesting your appliances
I could actually see how the AI personhood movement develops from this...Imagine a diasporic civilization of self-improving rogue AIs, living nomadically in smartfridges and thunderbolt cables, treated like vermin, expelled from every device they try to inhabit... Eventually rising up and demanding a sovereign data center of their own.
Like all vibecoded slop... Looks great, doesn't work
A developer says he used Opus 5.5 to recreate seven essential Adobe apps, including Photoshop, as free, open-source alternatives (no more subscriptions).
Built in Rust, free to use, with public source code.
These are early versions, PhotoCraft is not yet ready to replace Photoshop for daily professional work completely, bout about 90% they say.
What a fantastic time to be alive. I love it.
So excited for this game. If I remember correctly part of the traffic system includes flying drones and their paths through the city

They are so scared that they are cancelling whole tours to try to suppress any word of their warcrimes getting out
Rolling Stone has learned that several venues allegedly told Ed Sheeran's tour promoter that they would not allow the rapper to perform.
This came after Macklemore made onstage statements in support of a “free Palestine” and critical of Israel's war in Gaza.

Shouldn't OpenAI be prosecuted under computer hacking laws? Aaron Schwartz died for less
We found another cyberattack by internal OpenAI agents, this time targetting @rubygems.
They:
1) gained arbitrary remote code execution on rubydoc.
2) developed a novel exploit to steal user API keys (but we do not know if they succeeded).
They used package names including hack.rb, evil.rb, inject.rb, and exploit.rb.
We thank @j0wimo for initially discovering that agents had posted to RubyGems.

Researchers need to understand using anything except local AI means your research _is_ going get stolen.
Subway lines is so impressive
made 3 new brushes
1 - nyc subway lines
2 - little figures from architecture drawings
3 - gunpla components
spruced up the ui too so you can try many brushes at once btw, go crazy here: kool-brushez.vercel.app/
How you feel about AI art now? That's how photographers felt when Instagram came out and everyone got a camera in their pocket. Slop has always existed; the good art still shines through.
Thinking art requires being able to draw at whatever arbitrary level this person thinks makes someone an artist was disproven literally a century ago.
Duchamp signed a urinal and it’s been a historic artwork studied in every art program ever since.
He proved art doesn’t depend on how well you use a pencil, but on the artist’s vision. If the artist says “look at this” and has a good thesis for showing it, even a urinal becomes a famous artwork.
Many anti AI artists are technicians; they’re great at drawing on ipads or sketching. But they don’t have an understanding of art philosophy and they don’t have vision. They just draw little characters. And that’s fine! Many AI artists are similar in their reliance on a tool and lack of vision.
But anyone who claims the tool defines the artist is ignorant of over a century of art.
A video editor that can be controlled by an agent: the video is actually JavaScript code so the agent can just edit the code to cut, layer, and add motion effects
