Guys, I just had a brilliant idea. Hear me out. What if … I wrote the release post of the model with the model itself???

And we can have the model read and train on it too, completing the loop!

It's not just a loop; it's a knot!

I love this pretentious design the Ai people use on their websites, its pleasing to the eye

I've been noticing the uptick of beige + serif fonts + art with rough textures in this space. It feels like an attempt to humanize the technology and make it more palatable to people. Anthropic is the biggest example of this language with its ads and promotions. Edit: I'm enjoying seeing all the other examples linked in the responses. I decided to make a public Semble collection ( https://semble.so/profile/vadhub.bsk…

Ever seen posthogs website? It is a choice for sure but i swear to god it must have been somehow polluted ai training data because their ux is now getting pooped out more than the purple tailwind of last year.

It's bad enough the cringe-word "cyber" being tossed around willy nilly. Now it's robots doing the tossing, in Claude-slop sentences. (Having lived through the late 90s .com stuff, I can't see the word "cyber" without immediately assuming the person who wrote it is a clueless baby boomer. Unfortunately it seems to have become accepted into the lexicon. I guess by us now-clueless GenXers?)

The government uses the word 'cyber' all over their security documents, and have since the mid-90s. It is indeed very cringe.

I think it's kinda cool, it's Gibsonesque, and that usage is old enough now it's rolled from awkwardly dated back to cool, especially now that people no longer tend to talk about "cybersex" and many of the other uses of "cyber".

You've got to call it something, and calling it "cyber" differentiates it from all the other kinds of security. I doubt it means much to talk about "security" to the government, that could as much mean a missile system, but I don't know, that's not my area of work.

To us developers who work with computing all day it feels cringe because the cyber part is implied, and "security" is the differentiator., so you can just talk about working in "security" or "infosec".

Is "cyber" a bit of a relic that dates when the government started taking it seriously? Of course, but I don't know if there is a good alternative that doesn't have other connotations. It probably also acts as a bit of a shibboleth in both directions, "cyber" for those in the government sphere, "infosec" in the commercial.

Poking one hole in the walls will always be easier than guarding the entire frontier.

To defend properly, you need either either much more formally mathematically verified layers, or always-on online monitoring and intrusion detection running alongside the service. Like the immune system, or like guarding an empire's borders, since you can't put a guard on every meter of border. But you can detect when someone broke in and deploy your soldiers to respond. Currently we are trying to defend by building really hard walls that we hope cannot be pierced anywhere, which isn't realistic.

Right as i say this they have dropped the bage for a more forestry motif

Is it just me or do all the proprietary AI model companies have their blogs styled to have earthy calming tones? This seems like a strategy. Exhibit A-C A. https://claude.com/blog B. https://microsoft.ai/news/introducing-mai-cyber-1-flash-insi... C. https://cursor.com/grok Only OpenAI's blog looks like the WordPress _Twenty Twenty Five_ theme.

It's better than Corporate Memphis, at least.

That's my biggest fear after LLMs can pass the pelican-riding-a-bicycle test... Corporate Memphis art is a half step beyond and there's bound to be a _lot_ of it in their upstream data.

I think it's interesting how the superstars of a space dominate the design signal in it. Other parties trying to associate with the space are then forced to participate. The AI lab being a beige background with serif fonts and an abstract image collage with illustrations being a grungy version of Corporate Memphis is 100% downstream of Anthropic dominating the current conversation in the space and therefore Geist des…

At least Geist looks nice. Corporate Memphis has always been ugly, beyond ugly even, its an insult to aesthetics itself, an insult to all of life.

> Decades of building world-class security systems now give us trillions of daily signals across identity, endpoint, cloud, and network Let's say i use a linux endpoint and some hardware vendor starting with Cisc on the network. Can your product help me or not? I'm pretty sure none of these have been meant by Microsoft..but they fall into this category

Azure is the second largest cloud, and run majority linux. So probably.

It's very corporate hotel chain lobby restaurant inspired, which probably resonates with the C-suite people signing the checks on this stuff.

It's also artisanal coffee, craft beer pub and other hip things.
