I'm certainly no computer security expert, but I hope @anthropic.com is asking Mythos to build impenetrable software (on top of finding flaws in existing code).

They didn't workshop the name of this mini PC long enough

Anthropic got blacklisted by the Pentagon. Then Claude hit No. 1 in the app store. The backlash against ChatGPT looks real.

I am a big fan of the Star Trek universe and can't get enough of Star Fleet Academy, in part because it is actually pushing the timeline forward. But I will admit I can't keep the overall timeline straight, so I used Gemini to make this useful reference:

‘Students don’t have to prove authorship of every word, they show their supervision of AI tools’ When all students are required to use generative AI for every assignment, their practice can be more rigorous, transparent and deeply reflective. Here, Tiatemsu Longkumer explains a rubric

Why AI is Overrated - with Neil deGrasse Tyson YouTube video by Hasan Minhaj

Great interview by NDT here... (1) There is a rich discussion of science and impactful stories about scientific discovery, and (2) his views on AI (are level headed and reasonable, and situated historically. Also, he never says "actually", because "people don't like that." youtu.be/BYizgB2FcAQ?...

"Fuck your concrete"

Former DOGE engineer says federal waste and fraud were 'relatively nonexistent' NPR's Juana Summers talks with Sahil Lavingia, who worked for the Department of Government Efficiency as a software engineer assigned to the Department of Veterans Affairs, about his experience.

Of course the government has less fraud than corporate America. Compare the transparency of both: one has had decades of intense scrutiny, the other is a black box. Tons more waste/bloat in corporations!
