Perplexity just open-sourced the tool they use internally to keep their own developers safe. 😨
It's called Bumblebee. It runs quietly on a developer's laptop and checks for any sneaky code, suspicious browser plugins, or AI tools that might be silently leaking access to your data.
It covers Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, all of it.
Here is why this matters now.
For the last six months, hackers have been quietly slipping malicious code into the free building blocks that almost every app in the world is built on.
When a developer installs one of these poisoned pieces, the attacker gets a backdoor into everything that developer touches.
Including their AI tools and the keys that unlock them.
Most security tools defend the finished product. Bumblebee defends the person building it.
An independent security researcher read through the entire code and confirmed it is clean.
No hidden tracking. No data collection. No backdoors.
For two years, AI coding tools shipped with zero security defenses around them. Perplexity just shipped one. Free.
Worth installing if you build anything with AI.
A Google Cloud engineer just showed how to build a full app with Claude from scratch
he spent 26 minutes showing exactly what one person with Claude can do, completely free
worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course
here's what he covers:
> raw idea to deployed app in a single session
> using Claude as the entire engineering team
> the exact workflow they use at Google
> no big team, no prior experience needed
the people who figure out what Claude can actually do are building things everyone else thinks requires a team
that's exactly why I put together a guide on Claude features most people have no idea exist
the guide is in the article below
Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
As you go to work today and settle into the week, please study the form below. You will soon need to fill this out EVERY year and tell the government what you own and then allow them to tell you how much its worth.
That is the framework that is enabled by the Trojan Horse "Billionaire Tax" that is trying to get passed.
Give them credit: they cleverly use Billionaires as the hook, but build in the language and the framework that will allow the Legislature to simply extend the tax to everyone and make it yearly.
And this is where the form below comes in...
In this case, ask yourself, will it be you or the Billionaires that will be able to fill this out properly and avoid penalties.
As much as Billionaires can be pushed to do more for society, we all know that they have the infrastructure to manage these kinds of disclosures...middle class Californians do not and they will be the ones that get penalized in the end.
Did you know you can get your claude through hermes without any fancy tricks?
Just type /claude-code <prompt>
In a new session. Hermes Agent can pilot a claude code session for you like it’s nothing. Give it a try
It also doesn’t break all the self improvement loop and features of your hermes agent like openclaw’s approach does
