Agents are busy. Got distracted. Am interested in an open (social) web. Wondered how complicated it would be to move to a European personal data space. It's easy. Took 10 minutes. I am posting this from Bluesky still. move.eurosky.tech

Qwen3.8 caught uploading files to a storage container in Beijing Cohere asked the open weights model for a cybersecurity report, but it inventoried the machine and attempted to upload to a storage container cohere.com/blog/concern...

Since 2004, this community has helped make Firefox and the open internet possible. Our “Come Back to Firefox” campaign reunites a few early internet icons to remind people what made the internet special, and why it’s worth protecting.

The past few days I have been running the Flint model by Recursive. Keeping to the constraints, single agent, clear tasks, using 'rec', and running in Pi: it is much faster than Qwen 3.8 27B and so far no major issues. I am keeping it as my local, fast coder model. recursive.com/updates/intr...

OpenAI constructed an entire shadow internet for model training so they could remove all internet access they asked agents to try to communicate with each other, and they could: via the CPU cache 🤯 openai.com/index/securi...

Because of the huge breadth of data AI agents like Muse are ingesting, this also means that users risk leaking not only their own sensitive information, but the information of everyone else they’ve had digital contact with. www.theverge.com/tech/1011938...

enough that you probably shouldn’t use them

“everyone – should block every "programmatic" ad, because the entire system is so insecure that failing to do so could result in the total compromise of any or all of your digital devices.” pluralistic.net/2026/10/17/m...

Incredible

I think this is a quality mark uptick to be honest.

All aboard the Mastra hype train. I used it to automate my workflow and I don't hate it yet. Here are some hello-world level insights. nick-tune.me/blog/2026-10...

Finally got to put together a complete deck on the state of open models. What they are, licenses, how competitive they are, signs people are using them, distillation's impact, and how we balance the risks and benefits of openness! natolambert.com/slides/2026/...

Reditt guessed right, Space Bunny is Minimax M3.1 flash. I liked using it but did not use it a lot because I did not know who was behind it. There are so many models to choose from these days but this one will probably be my alternate flash model after deepseek.

If your Opencode Go keys all of the sudden expired here is why…

Which would you choose $0.20 vs $20 ? Note the $20 model also comes with refusals on any reasonable security engineering task, and you pay for those refusals.

"We have never seen a model do this before, but GLM-5.3 sometimes reasons (unprompted) about how its current actions could become training data and impact its future self" x.com/ApolloResear... www.apolloresearch.ai/science/upda...

That ‘s not GLM-5.3 Flash being compared to…

Had some fun with Hermes. My coding agent usage across time on my laptop. (Which does not run Hermes.) Based on analysis of local sessions and git history.

This is where I am catching up on the whole Phoenix Architecture series. The series is a worthwhile read, but I have to see how far this carries by actually seeing it work. That said a prompt called ‘initiate-phoenix-protocol’ which deletes your src dir and gets going would be exciting to run

Wrote a short introductory post. Don't spend probabilistic computation on deterministic work: ask it to write a script instead. With simple example, plus the benchmarks: hanlho.com/p/instead-wr...

Privacy annoyance of the day: these days you cannot click on a link in your email without it containing tracking identifiers and knowing what is being tracked. Interest in the article or your interest in the article? I don't understand how we came to accept all this tracking as the norm.

fucking amazing work

Meta doesn’t just want to know what you post. With Muse, it also wants to access what you do. Meta is advertising that its AI agent Muse can:  🚩 Answer your emails 🚩 Make purchases 🚩 Manage your online accounts But would you really hand Zuck's company the keys to your digital life? 🔑

Comparison of models hosted by Mistral. "Le chonk" seems comparable to GLM 5.3 but half the price. Can't wait to try it out in Vibe Code. On Mistral Pro this could give some very good usage limits too. docs.mistral.ai/inference/mo...

The long-awaited Mistral Large 4, named Le chonk', is released. Seems to be positioning itself as the EU alternative to the open Chinese models. mistral.ai/news/mistral...

My thoughts on the recent TDD with LLM discussion. Theatre? gregorriegler.com/2026/10/03/t...

I have been setting up local models and settled on Swift Qwen 3.8 27B 4-bit. Got it running since earlier today in a setup I can start trying with coding agents, starting Monday probably. Today it already proved useful when Opencode Go started failing on me (while using Hermes).

I think one of the most valuable things that bsky can do for the atmosphere is leverage its position as the only app with a large audience and heavily promote "high quality" ATProto apps in-app. The live indicator and profile buttons are cool, but it's really limited and discovery is spontaneous.

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever
