Maybe you're so exhausted all the time because America went from a high-trust society to you having to constantly monitor whether you're being scammed in every single monetary transaction

Cars, homes, medical, dental, food, mechanics, practically every business

"Trap: Organizations, especially those in the early stages of AI maturity, may attempt to reduce entry-level or core cybersecurity roles, believing that AI can fully replace these functions. However, this leads to skills erosion, where automating foundational tasks removes the practical learning experiences." https://t.co/kUsowSEK2m

This iconic mural on the Kennedy Expressway was completed exactly 30 years ago.

This mural’s lifespan was cut short due to the insane traffic it caused from drivers slowing down to take a picture.

Who remembers? #Chicagoats

Publishing alarmist fake security vulnerabilities for marketing should result in an instant ban from this industry. We should shun the people involved.

These people are snakes who exploit people’s ignorance for their own gain. I’m sick of the “oh well what can you do” attitude.

how about politicians in both parties are routinely full of shit and maybe instead of deciding which miserable idiot we should all vote for next time, we should be talking about how to build food and economic security at the local level for our friends and family so we can survive after the puppeteers break the economy and steal everyone's wealth.

@asha_shar Quake 3 Arena.

[Darren Shepherd @ibuildthecloud]

Sub agents and agent modes are crap. This is getting so dumb. I asked claude to implement a feature, so first it switches to plan mode, then it calls the explore agent, then it does some more random thinking and calls, then it calls the plan agent to create a plan. This is AI theater, none of this helped and so many calls were duplicated. This could have just been one linear thread. And then it by default want to "clear context." You know what the first thing it does after you clear the context!? It re-reads all the same files it just did. THIS IS SO STUPID AND WASTEFUL. This is what happens when engineers think they are smart. You don't need multiple agents, your just making it worse.

Holy shit… the exploitation of CVE-2025-55182 has reached a new level. There’s now a publicly available Chrome extension on GitHub that automatically scans for and exploits vulnerable sites as you browse. Absolutely wild. 🤦‍♂️
