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...

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.…

  • 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.

“Amazon is looking to revamp its AI strategy, shifting from a wide portfolio of models for text, images, video, and multimodal tasks toward a single frontier model.” But it’s gonna hurt their ability to fill the “You might also like” row on the website. www.techrepublic.com/ar…

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?”.

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.

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.

“My nephew went through something similar. He adored dinosaurs but couldn't tolerate dinosaur movies because the roaring and chase scenes were too much.“ No biggie, just ChatGPT hallucinating having a nephew.
