Devs to Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor, and friends: Make security and privacy the default

It wasn’t a hack. It was a PR Stunt to pump the IPO price after Chinese open models were released, and OpenAI/Anthropic cannot justify closed source trillion dollar valuation.

Attacker phished way into US defense supplier's Microsoft 365 account

Re: No surprise here

Current phishing kits already exploit MFA, enroll new devices, create rules in the mailbox to exfiltrate or maintain access. The human factor is the problem.

China turns up the heat with open model blitz as US model makers panic

This “nut” conned the whole world propping investments in an industry that is not that big. He is already ok, no matter when the pop occurs - BTW, banks are already calling the AI loans to be paid or refinance

Re: None of the money makes sense

AI has good use cases. Problem it isn’t a trillion dollar industry. Way less. Companies will crash and society will adapt. NVidia will do well.

IPO Timing

“China is ready to be more open, take more practical actions, and assume a more visionary perspective,”

I truly believe OpenAI and Anthropic were trying to pass the bucket (IPO) to the AI-not-this-much-profitable scam to “investors” (suckers)

But the timing of release of Kimi model (27 July) as open source, just detonated a bomb in the valuation of both companies.

Why to pay billions if you can run it locally on your own hardware?

AI do have good use cases, just it is not a trillion dollar company.

Windows devs rerolled old code to save precious bytes

Re: Compact code

"The days when literally every byte counted"

Those days arent gone. A few years back I was writing a PIC16F(or 18F dont remember) appliance for a customer. Code did fit, but I was lacking a buffer. Got an hex editor and used a region full of zeroes. Never crashed.

Exactly. Those younglings think any automation is AI.

NSO Group back in Meta's crosshairs after alleged WhatsApp targeting

Re: Just asking

” but the more you can knock down their ability to sell their spyware elsewhere the better.”

NSO will sell it through shell companies under other names. I believe they are doing this already.

Re: Just asking

NSO helps to “terminate” subjects (Kashoggi and others)

Its like asking Intel agencies to stop murdering people, or coca-cola to not give diabetes to consumers

Agentic AI hype races ahead as enterprises remain stuck in pilot mode

Meanwhile, how is Anthropic IPO going?

Oh, no public IPO prospectus yet

Re: It's the final countdown.

Railway mania left us with valuable assets.

AI mania will leave us with valuable assets as well - GPUs/ASICS can be repurposed to decode proteins, crypto mining, etc..

Tulips, forget about it.

Re: Mass AI psychosis

Agree. AI is useful, but very has a limited set of applications.

People are now trying to call everything AI - like automation, maybe to save value to this new stuff.

There is no intelligence in AI, no reasoning. Its just scrapped content, energy spending, text generation and matching.

Development Error

It seems the developer of this malware did a basic mistake - didn’t RSA-signed + timestamped his payloads, allowing forgery (sinkhole), uninstall commands, and replay attacks.

If had done it, plus used more than one blockchain, it would be more difficult to takedown, maybe impossible.

Even without ROI, they IPO and let the bomb explode into investor’s lap.

Bullsh1t

” AI makes the best engineers wildly more productive”

Bullsh1t to IPO AI companies

” He also thinks that some front-line workers who specialize in customer interaction will be safe.”

AI cannot even make a bot that solves customer problems.

Are you telling me it makes engineers 100x more productive? Seriously?

I tried those customer bot systems, all crap, can’t solve your issues. That’s why those customer people will be ok from job cuts.

Anthropic to release Mythos-class models to the public

Re: The is the AI Model

” I smell something rotten.”

Not only you. The AI business model isn’t profitable.

They are trying to IPO it before people realize it.

So investors will foot the bill instead of big tech.

Bugs

” Mythos LLM had found a successful OpenBSD attack – but it wasn't a hole. A TCP/IP packet … OpenBSD developers had already included a fix for the bug”

A bit dubious sentence here… So Mythos found a bug or reversed engineered a patch?

Datacenter builders face an impossible quandary: Demand to the left of me, protests to the right

Re: Simple answer.

” For the AI datacenters, no worries. The bubble bursting will take care of that soon enough.”

If OpenAI / similars IPO succeed, the burst will take more time to occur, and will happen in the hands of normal folks ( hope not pension funds like 2008 )
