That is because Github is not a thing anymore. We are talking about Microsoft.

It is fascinating how far people will go to do anything else at all other than having authors cryptographically sign their packages like every Linux package manager that matters since 1996. Linux package managers like debian/apt also s

I have at various points of my life been diagnosed with downs syndrome, chronic depression, anxiety, ADD, tourettes. Almost certainly undiagnosed PTSD and tests indicate maybe mild autism. I do not think anyone actually knows, and I stopped

I gave up my smartphone 6 years ago because I concluded the conveniences it offered came at cost of too much of my attention, freedom, and privacy. My ability to focus was just gone, and this magic device was not making me happy or producti

Unplugging the internet is easy. Running high risk code offline in highly tamper evident ways is hard, but plenty of teams like mine specialize in this sort of thing. (See: https://distrust.co and https://caution.co )

I am not saying responsible research is easy, but I am saying that at their budget and scale there are no excuses to cut major corners on safety when the stakes and potential for very bad outcomes for others are this high.

You had my interest until "source available". Especially when you used MIT from the start and changed it later. FOSS hackers like me feel betrayed by moves like that because your product was built on FOSS others created and you ar

Instead of asking users to create another password, they just specify a username, tap, and they have an account. Good security and UX do not need to be at odds.

I am the author of AirgapOS and I have designed systems to run in underground zero emissions chambers that are interacted with via carefully verified sd cards and/or fiber optic serial terminals. If OpenAI had done this, the attack wou

You can simulate the internet in an airgapped environment for the tests and services you want it to interact with if you have enough disk space, and, they absolutely do.

Models started proving readily capable of autonomously finding 0days over a year ago. At that point (ideally long before) the responsible sandbox for research labs with new models highly capable of this sort of thing should be literally air

It is not possible one of their extraordinarily high paid engineers did not know how to deploy an airgapped environment for the models to run in. Even if somehow true, they also clearly failed to contract specialists like myself to advise t

Currently trying to avoid an open weight model ban while OpenAI, who is closed, lets theirs run wild on the internet causing harm to another company because they do not understand how to airgap things. Cool.

At Caution we -exclusively- allow passkeys. The entire database is user ids and public keys. If it leaks, it would only be mildly annoying. If you are confused about digital passkeys, you can use a physical yubikey or nitrokey and tap it wh

Open source... Requires Claude Code CLI, authenticated with access to Claude Opus. So, not Open Source.

Three employers in a row insisted on handing me a macbook, and three times in a row I ported Gentoo to it out of pure spite and disdain for third parties trying to control the binaries I use to do my job. At the time they called this crazy

Opencode did have an adapter to use Anthropic models before they were sent legal threats that scared them into nuking the repo. Remember is it not OpenAI vs Anthropic as bad guys vs good guys. They are all bad guys trying to profit from you

Sure, you can keep paying $200/mo to Anthropic forever, and accept heavy censorship on the types of tasks you can do (e.g. malware research), accept no privacy, and accept rate limiting and the requirement of internet access at all tim

Qwen3.6 27b is ~10% worse than Opus 4.6 to be fair (though at a fraction of the size), but in exchange you get to run offline with complete privacy, no rate limiting, no refusals from any task, be it malware research or otherwise. Also my f
