32x33, comrades.
@wired.com ending their interview with the AI-is-gonna-kill-us bro with "I'm sure the next couple days will be crazy, but after things settle down, have you figured out what's next for you? instead of "Why are you a dumbass who doesn't know anything even though you're clearly educated?" Is a shame.

Knowing a lot about hammers doesn't automatically make you an expert on carpentry, or construction, or any other activity that requires hammers.

Maybe don't let AI agents touch production stuff? Like, ever? It fails miserably while doing utterly inconsequential shit, so you can extrapolate from there.

The circlejerk: "Terrible Signal exploit fixed thanks to journalists! FBI could read your deleted Signal messages!"

Me: Yikes. Let's look at the CVE.

The CVE: 6.2 Medium. Notifications marked for deletion could be unexpectedly retained on the device.

Everyone's talking about how good Anthropic's products are at finding vulnerabilities, but no one is looking at how good they are at BEING the vulnerability.

The REAL Glasswing lesson is that no one knows how to do threat modeling and risk assessments.

We're really spending tokens and paying money for output like this, eh?

● Yeah, sorry. Should have caught that during the rename.
● You're right. No excuse for that.
● You're right, I've been going in circles and made things worse by manually deleting the containers and network.
