ChatGPT’s teen safeguards are meant to protect vulnerable users, but new testing found the chatbot continues encouraging engagement during crises and potentially encourages unhealthy relationships with the AI itself.

I can't complain about Opus 5.5, more than extracted my money's worth out of it but the final stages require pen-testing and Claude's masters stomp on it every time it tries to help do security reviews [cyber]. Ever so often it sneaks in a security fix. Even found a race condition in haproxy by mistake and Claude took it upon itself to find the crash string. That went horribly bad. Each time they try to up-sell Mythos and say I have to go through a verification program that I am not permitted to

Source code: http://github.com/shawwn/sharc I had more things I wanted to do with this, but I should probably admit to myself I probably won't be. The original idea was for https://news.ycombinator.lol to be "Hacker News, but all the comments are AI." Right now it's "Hacker News, but all the comments are the same as the real HN." Hence, it's completely pointless. Special thanks to dang for collaborating -- he even suggested the name for the codebase, "sharc". Development time was about four mont

Sam Newman joins me to discuss when to use microservices, how to build resilient distributed systems, and how AI is changing software development.

I struggle with the way Claude speaks to me when I do work. So much text, every, single, time. When I ask a question, I get an essay back, and with so many weird constructs: slogans, metaphors, recaps, strange choice of nouns, "it's not X, it's Y". Claude's own "concise" mode shortens it, somewhat, but keeps the the rest of the slop. I tried system prompts, those got forgotten after a couple of turns. I tried looking for plugins but none consistently made Claude speak normally. Some where slash

Hi, I'm a former SDET and now solo dev of VoiceGremlin, a tool for automated tests against AI that answer phones. You pass the API a phone number and a test case like "Verify that the agent does X." It calls your voice agent, tests the thing by having the bots talk to each other, and uses LLM-as-judge to provide a pass/fail for your pipeline. State: Fully working, free trial, no card needed. Try it out and please give me feedback, especially if you run in to problems. Goal: I built VoiceGremlin

A critical vulnerability in LMCache, open-source software that speeds up large language model (LLM) servers such as vLLM, lets an attacker run code on the cache server without logging in, and no fixed version is available. The flaw is in LMCache's multiprocess mode, where the cache runs as a standalone server that LLM workers reach over the ZeroMQ messaging library. A single network
