Someone has to be accountable for what gets built.

Otherwise the AI could just build something that might kill everyone or embezzle stuff and nobody would know.

In order for someone to be accountable, someone needs to understand exactly what the AI has built.

More artificial intelligence is not going to solve the problem, it's just going to compound the Complexity.

Ergo, software engineering will never be dead.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is just gaslighting you for an IPO.

Is this the Canary in the AI Bubble Mine?

Or is everyone panicking and worried that AI will duplicate their biz?

>On June 11th Mark Warner, the vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that General Joshua Rudd, who leads the National Security Agency and the Pentagon’s Cyber Command, had told him that Mythos “broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours

That is the complete quote. It is from an economist article here - https://www.economist.com/briefing/2026/06/14/donald-trumps-blocking-of-anthropic-is-capricious-and-chaotic

The UK AI Security Institute (AISI) was clear in their testing that Mythos could only attack weakly defended systems with no active monitoring.

NSA classified systems are among the most well guarded in the world. For the record, the source above has an arts degree and only recently joined cybersec command in March.

Don't get me wrong, cybersec capabilities in Codex/Claude are pretty good, but most definitely not that good.

Of course, it doesn't matter what I say. The disinfo has gone viral and the bots are all spreading it like wildfire.

We live in a time of manipulation. Good luck!

edit: the author is already walking it back https://x.com/shashj/status/2068704535124508717 "It surely depends on using Mythos alongside other tools under very particular conditions. I quoted it to give a sense of Mythos’ potency. But it was a mistake not to have added caveats."

A huge problem i find with codex cli responses is that codex doesn't know how to efficiently use valuable screen real estate.

Seriously, if you're going to respond to something, codex, make sure you avoid scrolling stuff off the screen.

Also, use horizontal screen space more effectively (don't go overboard).

This means avoid double spacing where you can.

When you look at the model cards for OpenAI or Anthropic, they do not report how much data they are training on.

I'm not suggestion they tell us *what* they are training on, just some accurate size estimates of total data.

Why don't they report this?

Because the dirty secret might be that the reason these models are getting better is just because they are have more data to copy from.

They're not really that 'intelligent' but rather they are just bigger and better database lookups.

Automating labor is not going to move billions of tonnes of earth required to mine increasingly degraded ore grades of critical industrial minerals.

People need to stop with this 'abundance' gaslighting.

Without breakthroughs in material science, there will be no 'abundance'. Just mass resource inflation as people start consuming more because robots can manufacture anywhere.

AI based automation is surfacing the real bottlenecks that there is no getting around.

Stop pretending this will all be magically solved.

It won't be solved until it's solved. And so far, despite all these trillions being invested, we haven't seen any breakthroughs.

Hopium is not a solution.

>We believe it would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development to enable societal structures and alignment research to keep up with the advance of the technology. 

Translation: We've hit a wall.

If you want to track your usage better, you can get codex to write a background tmux reader that will do it for you, and then plot to grafana. You might want to open up another pane to have it feed /status to refresh the statusline though:

gpt-5.5 xhigh · /../ · Context 41% left · 5h 71% · weekly 45% · 1.62M used · 29.5M in · 152K out

/statuslines ftw

Big, if true. Doesn't bode well for research / OS models out of China.

We are on a treadmill of economic destructive behavior and we can't get off.

We are spending untold wealth on tokens to create problems (find new vulnerabilities, empower new attackers) and then fix those problems (detect the new attackers and fix the new vulnerabilities).

These problems existed, yes, but with AI we are exacerbating the scale of these problems.

We are 10xing the problems and their collective cost.

It will only get worse as the models become deeper and more effective.

What's worse, is this is the only thing that AI has so far proven to be good at.

It's like building a better Arsonist Flamethrower, burning down houses, and than putting out the fires with better fire engines. Neither of which was necessary until AI came along.

This is nothing but an inflationary drain on the economy, increasing the cost of doing business, with no end in sight and doing nothing to improve our standard of living.

The reverse, actually.

And there doesn't seem anything we can do to stop it from getting worse.

It's a pretty massive bet they are making. Hope it pays off!
