Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

Que partida memorável. O lindo gol de Sócrates, Hegel e Kant correndo para refutar, Confúcio impassível na arbitragem, o júbilo final dos clássicos e pré-socráticos.

I’ve mentioned this before: this is one of the oncoming trains for corp-security. We’ve long failed at least-privilege, but weren’t often punished for it.
Helen in HR (or Bob in accounts) didn’t know what to do with the extra perms they didn’t know they had.
Their agents will.

glad to know Mythos' safety concerns have been addressed right as Anthropic also secured tens of billions in inference compute 👍

We've raised $65 billion in Series H funding at a $965 billion post-money valuation, led by @AltimeterCap, Dragoneer, @Greenoaks, and @sequoia.
This investment will help us advance our research and expand our capacity to meet growing demand for Claude.

Opus 4.8 is live in Claude Code today.
A few things worth knowing: 🧵
Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.
Available today at the same price.
ALT Benchmark table showing how Claude Opus 4.8 compares to its predecessor and to other models on tests of coding, agentic skills, reasoning, and practical knowledge work tasks.

Very interesting data across 2,444 companies.
82% of tokens are spent on AI-generated bugs, rework and review friction.
May 26
This is what we've been seeing with every company we work with.
Try justifying spending 100k on token spend when only 18k even makes it to a stable prod feature.
In the rush to maximize AI token spend, companies are wasting over 44% on bug fixes

Me parece excelente por fin discutir sobre tecnología en Europa, pero nos estamos pasando un poco usando las palabras 'soberanía digital,' 'soberana', etc. Muy similar a lo que ocurrió con 'cooperación público-privada' :)

GPT 5.5 found a 27-year-old RCE introduced in April of 1999. I've triple-checked the flow and commit history, it's real.
Can't wait to responsibly disclose!

AI attackers have terrible OPSEC.
Use it against them.
Hallucinate exposed services. Waste their tokens. Seed prompt-injection traps, canaries, and honeytokens where attacker LLM will read them.
Have fun.

Periodic reminder: the Shadow Brokers, masterful curators of one of the most devastating technical intelligence leaks ever, will turn ten years in August — and we still don't know who they were.
