You'd think with this "terrifying" powerful model of theirs they could have a few less red bars on their status page[1], but apparently the hyper-intelligence is only capable of pulling off uber-sophisticated cyber attacks and not making a frontend that doesn't shit itself constantly, curious.

The $100M in credits for open-source scanning is the most interesting part here. The real bottleneck was never finding vulns in high-profile projects — it was the long tail of critical dependencies maintained by one or two people who don't have time or resources for serious auditing. If Glasswing actually reaches those maintainers, it could meaningfully reduce the attack surface that supply chain attacks exploit.

I must say the combo of an em-dash stuck right in the middle of "it was never X, it was Y" made me chuckle

It's all just really genius marketing. In 6 months Mythos will be nothing special, but right now everyone is being manipulated into fearing its release, as a marketing ploy. This is the same reason AI founders perennially worry in public that they have created AGI...

I'm so tired of the astroturfing from Anthropic literally everywhere. Every single forum, every single thread anywhere on the internet is filled with their bots muddying up the conversation, it's so tiring.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Please tell me those companies so I can find alternatives. I'm using AI every day and there's no way I would trust it do that.

The transition is pretty complete at e.g. Google and Meta, IIUC. Definitely whoever builds the AI tools you're using every day isn't writing code by hand.

I'm literally looking at Claude in the other window telling me that the bug we're working on is a "Clear-cut case", telling me to remove a "raise if this is called on this object" guard from a method, because "the data is frozen at that point" and is effectively proposing a solution that both completely misses the point (we should be calling a different method that's safe) AND potentially mutates the frozen data.

We're 41k tokens in, we have an .md file that describes the situation and Claude has just edited the .md file with a couple of lines describing the purpose of the guards.

I don't understand, are other people working with a different Opus 4.6 than I am?

I’m sure the new model is a step above the old one but I can’t be the only person who’s getting tired of hearing about how every new iteration is going to spell doom/be a paradigm shift/change the entire tech industry etc. I would honestly go so far as to say the overhype is detrimental to actual measured adoption.

> how every new iteration is going to spell doom/be a paradigm shift/change the entire tech industry etc. It's much the dynamic between parents and a child. The child, with limited hindsight, almost zero insight and no ability to forecast, is annoyed by their parents. Nothing bad ever happens! Why won't parents stop being so worried all the time and make a fuss over nothing? The parents, which the child somewhat star…

The parents in this case are profiteering corporations on a mission to exploit the child for everything they can get away with, almost by definition.

It's a slightly different dynamic.
