    OPs tool is not a sandboxer and isn’t like the other projects in your list. OP is an agent multiplexer, of which there also are many similar projects, but not a sandboxer.

    The overwhelming majority of web app security issues, even the really complicated and sexy sounding ones, at their core are just “script kiddie style hacking”. Injection attacks an…

    There were almost daily posts in HNs front page about it 4 months ago when it first happened, as well as front page headlines on CNN and WSJ and other news outlets, though they qui…

    The article in the OP is about a company in the EU (the clubs) not taking this seriously by outsourcing their stuff to an Irish company, who also is not taking it seriously. Hell, …

    How so? The fact that China is going to launch a comparable model soon is the whole point of what’s happening now. Everyone knows there are going to be open models soon that have t…

    Every one of the competitors capable of a similar model have been salivating for a long time at the idea of consensual data sharing. Anthropic just opened the door for everyone to …

    That Claude support page says the exact same thing about AWS (“retained data stays in your AWS environment”). AWS’s docs say differently, though, so it seems one of them has incorr…

    So why is OpenAI also releasing 5.5-Cyber in a private manner? Are they also out of compute?

    Sorry but I call bullshit. There’s em-dashes all over, even in your original text. Were the editors or translators an AI? Did the editors use AI to “polish” it? The emojis used in …

    Runtime discovery is the entire point of skills. Without it, this is just a templating prompt system that the user has to remember to use… except because this one changes your syst…
