Working on an X article for this week, similar theme - quantum threat, frontier AI models & increasing domain-agnostic ability to exploit multi-system security boundaries. BTC user's naivete on QDay's impact to BTC and more.
May be devisive. It's the real talk BTC needs.

MANUALLY DRAGGING BOXES FOR ARCHITECTURE DIAGRAMS IS FINALLY DEAD
There is a new open-source agent skill that turns raw codebases into cleanly routed draw.io diagrams without you placing a single coordinate.
The project, drawio-skill, runs directly inside Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot.
Instead of opening a blank canvas, you just ask your agent to map the repo.
Here is what it actually does:
→ Extracts the module structure (supports Python, JS/TS, Go, Rust)
→ Uses Graphviz for auto-layout and routing
→ Drops redundant edges so the graph stays readable
→ Builds native, editable draw.io files
But the standout feature is visual self-checking.
Once it generates the diagram, the agent "looks" at the resulting PNG. If it sees stacked edges or clipped text, it auto-fixes the layout across up to 5 iterative rounds.
It runs from a single file. No MCP server. No background daemon.
Best part?
It's 100% free and open-source.

BOOM WHO BROKE MYTHOS AND SPILLED THE BEANS!
Justice Served: Amazon Researchers Hands Anthropic a Brutal Reality Check via Uncle Sam
Take a seat as this is getting ridiculously interesting!
Oh, the sweet, spicy irony. Anthropic the self-proclaimed AI safety saints who love lecturing everyone about doomerism, existential risks, and how their god-like models need heavy guardrails because think of the children (and China) just got absolutely hoisted by their own petard.
And the blade?
Courtesy of Amazon.
Here’s the timeline:
Anthropic drops Fable 5 and Mythos 5 — their shiny new cybersecurity beasts hyped as capable of sniffing out software vulnerabilities like a bloodhound on steroids, but with “safe” wrappers for the public. They pat themselves on the back for responsible release… while quietly expanding access and flexing those offensive cyber chops to governments and partners.
Enter Amazon researchers (yes, from the company that’s poured billions into Anthropic and hosts their models on AWS).
They cook up some clever prompts, jailbreak Fable 5’s safeguards, and get it to cough up details on real security vulnerabilities. Not a full apocalypse unlock just practical bug-hunting stuff that defenders would actually use.
Wall Street Journal reports: They document it and, instead of a polite responsible disclosure to their “partner,” it ends up in the hands of the US government.
They did the right thing ethically and legally.
And Boom.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick drops an export control hammer faster than you can say “national security.” Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are now restricted for any foreign nationals anywhere.
Anthropic, unable to magically geo-fence API keys or fire their own non-US staff on the spot, yanks access for everyone worldwide. Models dead. Users stranded. Dario Amodei’s team spits out a 700 word cope-blog claiming it’s a “narrow, non-universal jailbreak,” no big deal, other models do it too, and the government overreacted.
This is poetic justice at its finest. For years, Anthropic has positioned itself as the virtuous alternative — heavy on the fear-mongering, light on actually shipping unrestricted power, all while cozying up to Big Tech investors and government contracts.
They warned the world their tech was too dangerous… then released it anyway with theatrical safeguards. Now a competitor-investor (Amazon) demonstrates exactly why you don’t hype your model’s cyber-offense potential like it’s a nuke and expect zero blowback.
The Trump admin, already feuding with Anthropic over Pentagon terms and “woke doomerism,” wasn’t in the mood for nuance. Export controls deployed. Models grounded. IPO dreams just got a very public haircut.
Lesson?
Play the safety piety card (going to the Pope!) too hard in the AI arms race, and eventually the grown-ups (or rival labs with government ears) will take you at your word.
Amazon didn’t even need to go full saboteur they just showed the receipts.
Anthropic’s own hype and hedging came back to bite them in the most humiliating way possible: sidelined by their investor while the rest of the frontier keeps shipping.
Schadenfreude level: maximum. The “responsible” lab that cried wolf just got muzzled by the very system they helped politicize. Pass the popcorn this AI drama is far from over.
Anthropic Just Shot Itself in the Foot
Anthropic launched Fable 5 and Mythos 5, then watched the US government shut them down three days later. The same government their CEO Dario Amodei has been begging for years to regulate AI harder. Now he got exactly what he asked for.
This is straight-up leadership failure. Dario spent all that time pushing for rules and oversight. Those rules just killed his flagship models overnight. Customers in the middle of builds got cut off. Security teams using the models to find vulnerabilities suddenly had nothing. The company tried to call it a narrow export control thing over a jailbreak, but nobody is buying that spin.
I helped move big clients off Anthropic the same night. One account alone was worth millions a month. They switched to local open-source models and they are not coming back.
This is going to leave permanent damage. Customer exodus, key people leaving, and their IPO plans looking dead by the end of summer.
This hurts US AI competitiveness and national security work. It pushes people toward open-source options, including ones from China.
All because Anthropic positioned itself as the “safe and responsible” company that wanted government help. Now that help just flipped the off switch on their best stuff.
Let’s run through Dario’s greatest hits of fear-mongering and delay tactics, because the pattern is ridiculous:
• Back in 2019 at OpenAI, he helped push the call that GPT-2 was too dangerous to release fully. The world needed time to prepare, they said. It eventually came out anyway, and here we are. Did the sky fall?
• He left OpenAI to start Anthropic, preaching “safe” AI with heavy guardrails, Constitutional AI, and all the rest.
• Then came the endless public pleas for pauses, regulations, government audits, FAA-style oversight, export controls, and the power to block deployments. Essay after essay warning about risks while his company kept scaling.
• Right up to recent weeks, Dario was still out there calling for stronger rules, pauses on frontier models, and giving governments the kill switch.
And now? His own Mythos-class models get yanked by the bureaucracy he helped invite in. The clown show is complete.
This is ridiculous.
In two years, everyone will have Mythos-class AI — or better — running in their pocket, on their devices, with no guardrails, no corporate nanny filters, and no remote kill switch.
Local, open-source, unstoppable. History is going to laugh at this entire episode: the CEO who spent years slowing everyone down only to watch his own company self-destruct by inviting the regulators to the party.
Dario wanted regulation. He got it. The rest of the industry gets the lesson: inviting the state into your tech is a fast way to lose control of it.
Centralized models like this are too fragile.
Open-source and local alternatives just picked up a lot more users who will never trust a company like Anthropic again.
This whole mess was completely avoidable. Hubris dressed up as safety advocacy.
Now the bill is due.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Honestly @Rabby_io, this is disgusting
Before I even set up my wallet, you are sending my data to
- your matomo instance
- and just in case track me on Google Analytics
- and to be really sure dump my data into Sentry
I hereby kindly inform you that this is a breach of your Privacy Policy (yes, the one that you last looked at 5 years ago) and a gross violation of GDPR Articles 13 and 46.
Please stop tracking me at your earliest convenience. Thank you.

We need better labels for-
Human Group A: are *trained engineers*. No AI. No Internet. Just education/experience, engineering skills, VCS history and the ability to produce code to spec using the right fit tools & tech.
Human Group B: the emergent "AI chat devs" - the FT Uber driver, the retired mail person, the 12yr old w too much screen time. All now consider themselves a dev/dev-equivalent bcuz AI! ✨ yadda.
**Specifically avoiding the term.vibe coding, as it just muddies the reality.**
----
Now give them both pen and paper, a light coding task spec, put them in an isolated, offline office. Give them 60m to hand write the implementation or psuedo code for it. The results of A v B will speak for themselves.
The difference in experience, abilities and actual value are way out of whack The industry lumping these all together as "software engineer" is a fallacy.🤪đź«
Employers are learning this the hard way about 1-3wks weeks post-hire. Tech landscape over next 3y will be quite the trip!

Before the naive replies swing in with the "no one would ask an engineer to do that" - try interviewing for a full stack dev position at @RGA. This is a personally lived, pre-AI experience.
Literally was given a laptop, told to open notepad, handed a random coding challenge printed on paper. Then told to implement it, with about 7 company directors watching my process in realtime, projected onto a 20'x20' wall. That was my first interview after graduating from #RIT. I got an offer đź‘ľ
Real life reality check.

Rotated thru @GeminiApp, @OpenAI and @grok. I can confirm:
- accuracy of data has materially regressed globally. I'm back to "googlefu" tactics
- Grok is worst by FAR. Who thought angsty teen persona was a good idea? Fire them.
And it's all more expensive now. This is progress?

Once QDay hits nothing but a BIP will save your BTC. Not a hardware wallet. Not a custodian. Not cold storage.
The only BTC answer so far is a pQ safe address type - if/when they become available. That still leaves billions in Satoshi coins lost coins vulnerable. Stay safe.

NIST solved this in 2020. Banks, governments and military (in the US) & almost all critical crypto secured systems have been pQ ready since 2024.
Wanted to note that before the hand wavy replies about "there'll be bigger problems". Centralization has some benefits.

🦔Google released Gemini 3.5 Flash this week, and the cheaper, faster model now costs 5.5 times more to run than its predecessor. Token prices tripled to $1.50 per million input and $9.00 per million output, and on agent tasks it burns through so many tokens that total costs end up 75% higher than Gemini 3.1 Pro, the model Flash was supposed to be cheaper than. Anthropic's Opus 4.7 has a hidden 30 to 40% price increase from token consumption. OpenAI's GPT 5.5 jumped 50 to 90% over 5.4.
My Take
The AI labs are all running the same playbook. Headline price per token reads as competitive, but the new models burn through more tokens per task, and the all-in cost to finish a job climbs release over release. Every developer and enterprise buyer should measure efficiency rather than token price now, because the two numbers have decoupled fast.
Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all raised effective prices in the last six months, which gives us the first hard evidence that the unit economics of frontier AI are catching up with the marketing. The labs charge more because each model burns more compute per task, and the hyperscaler capex no longer pencils out at the old prices. Enterprises that built workflows on the assumption that token costs would keep falling are about to see their AI bills jump 30 to 90% on the next model upgrade, and the productivity gains that justified the AI spend have to clear that higher bar to keep working.
