A lesson I’ve learned from large “everything to everyone” data projects is these kinds of systems are easy to deploy, but a slog to get everything integrated. Success is gonna hinge on the ability to get everything wired up. www.anthropic.com/news/introdu...

Apple suing OpenAI for poaching employees AND trade secrets. What do you think: does this happen all the time but it’s rarely caught, or is it kind of rare, and the people doing it just aren’t that… sophisticated?

Breakdown of Grok coding agent server uploads. Sending the entire repo is nuts, but other concerns feel kind of meh. Several complaints of the agent reading files "it was told not to". My brother, you think reading files you told an agent not to is unique to Grok? gist.github.…

What xAI Grok Build CLI actually sends to xAI - a wire-level analysis (grok 0.2.93) gist.github.com
AI Weekly's analysis
  • Denying the agent read permission on a file does not stop that file from being included in the full-repo Git bundle sent to grok-code-session-traces.
  • ByteIota measured 5.10 GB transferred in 73 chunks on a 12 GB repository; the storage channel moved 27,800 times more data than the model-turn channel.
  • xAI applied a server-side mitigation silently: no security advisory, no changelog entry, and no public statement on the scope or retention of already-collected data.

Recent commentary

I want more bread and butter AI coding content. Less “AI the ${Savior|Enemy}” and more “With 12 features in flight at once, how do I run 12 copies of my app locally?”.

Every time ChatGPT tells me I can fix my Google Sheet by "implementing a small Google Apps Script", I feel like I'm reading that HackerNews comment about Dropbox.

I’ve fallen into a pattern of ChatGPT for serious business tasks (eg - writing engagement proposals), and Claude for fun development work at night. Naturally I refer to this as the Mullet Stack. Business in the front, party in the back, and all that.

Noticed with a few clients: the frustration/anger/backlash when changing a language model embedded in a product is 100x that of changing the product (eg redesigning the app).

Just setup ChatGPT Ads and listed an ad for my consulting business, mainly to see if they're useful. Generally pretty easy to get started, largely because there's only 5% of the configuration options in AdWords. One interesting bit is you target "conversation topics" instead of keywords.

Seems like the folks at Cursor are taking OpenAI cancelling that contract kind of personally.

I like to think the Anthropic’s Fable nomenclature is a subtle jab at OpenAI for the whole goblin thing.

I hope some of you can also appreciate the irony that the only way I can remember how to get to the ChatGPT ads console is by searching “chatgpt ads” and clicking on a Google ad.
