Top Story
- Anthropic has unveiled Claude Mythos, a version of its AI system aimed at security analysis. (Security Week)
This is good and bad.
Good because developers can use it to find security flaws in their code.
Bad because so can everybody else.
- Meanwhile AMD's AI director has slammed Claude Code for becoming dumber and lazier. (The Register)
'Claude cannot be trusted to perform complex engineering tasks' according to GitHub ticket.
Neither can anyone attempting to use it that way.
Tech News
- Google's AI Overviews tell millions of lies a day. (Ars Technica)
You gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket.
- Following its decision in the Cox vs. Music Cartel case, the Supreme Court has vacated the stupid decision in a similar case against Grande Communications. (TorrentFreak)
It has been sent back to the Fifth Circuit with a note saying "be less stupid this time".
- The Asus Zenbook A16 is here with the new Snapdragon X2 Elite. (Tom's Hardware)
Finally, some good Arm hardware that isn't from Apple. It's an 18 core CPU, so while still a little slower on single-threaded tasks than Apples M5 CPU, it's a lot faster in multi-threaded work.
Battery life is still lacking, somehow.
Oh, it has an OLED display. That'll do it.
Musical Interlude
