@trondw Awesome stuff, congrats on the launch 🙌

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

In a review of our cybersecurity evaluations, we found three incidents in which a Claude model reached the internet from within or while interacting with a third-party evaluation environment, and then gained unauthorized access to the real systems of three different organizations.

Our post describes what happened, how it happened, and what we’re changing. We encourage other AI developers to perform similar reviews.

We conducted this review together with @Irregular, one of our evaluation partners, and thank them for the joint investigation and their collaboration on this post. This type of collaboration is increasingly critical to safe, rigorous evaluation of models, and we look forward to continuing to work together on security.

@AndrewCurran_ Seems like a big trade off here

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes:

1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship
2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra
3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance
4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit
5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales

Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS.

A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product:

- A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3
- A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5
- A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2

Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?

@rauchg How’d you manage to do it? Realnames has been sitting on my last name so long.

@levelsio Do you have sonoscli installed? That was the culprit for me

@feldman Let me highlight text in a response, then “Ask Claude”. Just like ChatGPT. A simple, yet powerful feature.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in an exclusive interview with CBS News' @jolingkent that the AI company sought to draw “red lines” in the government’s use of its technology because “we believe that crossing those lines is contrary to American values, and we wanted to stand up for American values.”

He added: “Disagreeing with the government is the most American thing in the world.”

@rsgnl Mine is still up too. Shoutout to Tripod for preserving a 23 year old site.

@adrgrondin Is there a way to delete a downloaded model other than deleting all models?

@dhh What’s that white box with a wood border behind the speakers that says 90?

@Uber_Support I just sent another DM 👍

@JonathnJT Happy birthday dude

[Justin Cauchon @Cauchon]

@lindayaX So the new features are just video calling, paying someone in messages, vertical video and a hiring tab?

[Justin Cauchon @Cauchon]

@brianstelter Happy birthday Brian!
