The Who's Who of AI

““With AI agents, tech companies are letting consumers automate their everyday tasks by extending their omnivorous style of mass surveillance to massive amounts of sensitive data.””

“It's just so unlike Zuckerberg to release a product like this.... Friends don’t let friends feed their data to AI agents www.theverge.com/tech/1011938...”

“All of this is good news. Some of the most sophisticated jailbreaking tools (such as those on the super viral "Reverse Engineer Anything" Github page) run locally, on your own computer, without invoking the "frontier models" that the big, awful AI companies…”

“All those vibecode-anything-ports gonna lead to everything running in the cloud. And then, there's this: github.com/morluto/rea/ "GitHub project called REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) lets AI agents figure out how a feature in another app works without ever…”
