You got “plaid”…

[Pop Base @PopBase]

OpenAI has announced plans to let users “securely connect” ChatGPT to their bank accounts through Plaid.

The proposed intention is for ChatGPT to provide users with curated financial advice.

Hands up if you recently had fake charges added to your Azure bill.
I guess Microsoft thought nobody would notice. I would wonder how many customers do they swindle like this, but I think the metric to watch is really: how many would notice and actually query it?

Anthropic have weirdly broken Claude Code. And right now, that is more dangerous than Mythos or whatever dark pattern Dario Amodei is pedalling.

GPT 3 is more trustworthy than whatever they’ve done to Claude -> Because you at least you knew what to expect.

[Andre 🐦 𝕏 @andrejonker]

🐍 The new Claude is dangerous, but not for any reason Anthropic proclaims.

It was safer when it was dumber, but also not for the reasons we are told.

Hallucinations are back, and freakishly presenting in ways nobody expects.

This is the tail, that’s going to eat the snake.

Claude Code will soon introduce a monthly org limit:

The error message they are testing quotes “org limits”. No longer just per account 😮

And Mythos missed this, why?

⚠️ Critical Anthropic’s MCP Vulnerability Enables Remote Code Execution Attacks

Source: https://t.co/7ghzzZJBKg

A critical flaw in Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) exposes over 150 million downloads to potential compromise. The vulnerability could enable full system takeover across up to 200,000 servers.

Unlike a traditional coding bug, this vulnerability is architectural, meaning any developer building on Anthropic's MCP foundation unknowingly inherits the exposure from the ground up.

The flaw enables Arbitrary Command Execution (RCE) on any system running a vulnerable MCP implementation. Successful exploitation grants attackers direct access to sensitive user data, internal databases, API keys, and chat histories, effectively handing over complete control of the affected environment.

Opus 4.7 is not an “idiot savant”. Claude Code is now daft. All common sense has gone.

[Andre 🐦 𝕏 @andrejonker]

Claude Opus 4.6 is dumb as bricks, I’m going back to 4.5!

[Andre 🐦 𝕏 @andrejonker]

If Mythos is anything like Opus 4.7’s unpleasant personality, then we are indeed in trouble.

No matter the hyperbole about it being better than humans at bug hunting 🙄

“Grok, who’s got the best handle on this?”
“You’re likely thinking of Marcus Hutchins (aka "MalwareTech"), the British security researcher who discovered the WannaCry "kill switch."”

We need a televised debate between Marcus Hutchins and Mr AI Melodrama himself, Dario Amodei.

You thought it was only gullible YouTubers that ride the Mythos hype train?

These scam artists are again spreading gaslighting to governments.

This is exactly what IPv8 ought to be. Effectively, more addresses, without unnecessary complexity.

It is unnecessary complexity that leads to security problems 🤔 and the world needs less of that.

[Sigrid Jin 🌈🙏 @realsigridjin]

hmm

finally admitted ipv6 is a mess and dropped an internet draft for ipv8

if an ipv4 address looks like 1.1.1.1, an ipv8 address looks like 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1

kinda wild it took 25 years to just suggest making the numbers longer haha

"They don't like someone they consider as part of the [Arch Linux] core dev teams being called out like that. What you did broke the Arch Linux CoC."

OK, but does this mean the UK gets to keep Linux after California effectively outlawed it?

@Apple, there’s a process by which customers who purchased products via 3rd party sellers must call Apple and provide a copy of the invoice (proof of sale) via an upload. You even provide your support staff with the capability to send an email with a link, for uploading. Correct?

[Andre 🐦 𝕏 @andrejonker]

I was even told by @Apple that this is not the first time I bought something from a retailer that has failed to update sale information with them 🤨

I am talking about an authorised Apple reseller, a UK online electrical retailer with £1.1–1.2bn annual turnover.

Apple is broken

[Andre 🐦 𝕏 @andrejonker]

Never buy an Apple product from an “authorised Apple reseller” in the UK, because Apple might just not like their own internal paper trail and refuse to honour the proof of sale… because somehow we as customers should just know that they’re displeased with their channel.
