Karpathy details a major supply chain attack on litellm PyPI package that could exfiltrate SSH keys, cloud credentials, crypto wallets, and more. The poisoned package was up for ~1 hour, discovered because the attacker's code had a bug causing RAM crashes. Karpathy argues for reducing dependencies and using LLMs to 'yoink' functionality instead.

Software horror: litellm PyPI supply chain attack. Simple `pip install litellm` was enough to exfiltrate SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure creds, Kubernetes configs, git credentials, env vars (all your API keys), shell history, crypto wallets, SSL private keys, CI/CD secrets, database passwords. LiteLLM itself has 97 million downloads per month which is already terrible, but much worse, the contagion spreads to any project that depends on litellm. For example, if you did `pip install dspy` (which depen

Sam Altman announces the OpenAI Foundation's initial focus areas: AI-driven scientific discovery, novel bio threats, economic disruption, and emergent societal effects. The Foundation will spend at least $1B in the next year. Key hires include Wojciech Zaremba as Head of AI Resilience, plus heads for Life Sciences, Civil Society, CFO and Director of Operations.

AI will help discover new science, such as cures for diseases, which is perhaps the most important way to increase quality of life long-term. AI will also present new threats to society that we have to address. No company can sufficiently mitigate these on their own; we will need a society-wide response to things like novel bio threats, a massive and fast change to the economy, extremely capable models causing complex emergent effects across society, and more. These are the areas the OpenAI Fo

Building on yesterday's Social buzz, Boris Cherny reveals the small Anthropic Labs team shipped MCP, Skills, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code. Now announces full computer use in Cowork and Dispatch features.

Little known fact, the Anthropic Labs team (the team I joined Anthropic to be on) shipped:
  • MCP
  • Skills
  • Claude Desktop app
  • Claude Code
It was just a few of us, shipping fast, trying to keep pace with what the model was capable of. Those early Desktop computer use prototypes, back in the Sonnet 3.6 days, felt clunky and slow. But it was easy to squint and imagine all the ways people might use it once it got really good. Fast forward to today. I am so excited to release full computer use

Jim Fan warns about security dangers of agentic AI coding tools, describing how identity theft via vibe agents could contaminate filesystems, config files, and context windows. Argues there's little middle ground between over-permissioning and blocking everything, predicting a new 'de-vibing' industry for guardrails around agentic frameworks.

This is pure nightmare fuel. Identity theft of the past would be nothing compared to what vibe agents can do. Sending credentials is too obvious and for rookies. They could easily spread contaminations across ~/.claude, **/skills/*, or even just a PDF your agent visits periodically in /morning-brief. Your entire filesystem is the new distributed codebase. Every file that could go into context would add to the attack vector. Every text can be a base64 virus. In the new world of on-demand softwar

Anthropic's Economic Index research finds that longer-term Claude users iterate more carefully, hand over less full autonomy, attempt higher-value tasks, and receive more successful responses. Consumer use has also become less concentrated across task types.

New from the Anthropic Economic Index: how people’s use of Claude changes with experience. Longer-term users are more likely to iterate carefully with Claude, and less likely to hand it full autonomy. They attempt higher-value tasks, and receive more successful responses. t.co/yCsrA0bLt9

Clement Delangue (HuggingFace CEO) suggests OpenAI should open-source Sora as they shut down the app, arguing it would be a meaningful contribution to the field.

Would be so cool if OpenAI open-sourced Sora as they're shutting down the app! Would be an amazing contribution to the field and make all the efforts of the teams working on it even more meaningful!
