Some stats on #php2shell. In the 10 hours before it was publicly announced, across the @Cloudflare network we saw thousands of attempts to exploit it. That jumped to tens of thousands in the 45 minutes post announcement, hundreds of thousands within 2 hours, and millions now.

Jeremy's excellent work here is a great illustration of a very powerful type of approach: LLM-guided on-the-fly synthesis of a symbolic world model, i.e. making sense of the world by writing executable code that encodes your understanding of the causal mechanics of the world. So far, all of the top-performing harnesses on ARC-AGI-3 use this style of approach. Which is also the approach we recommended when we initially released the benchmark (Jeremy would know this better than most, as a former Ndea member of technical staff). I'm happy that ARC 3 has incentivized more research and more progress in this area.

In one pass Opus wrote 269 programs (~12,700 lines). It built parsers for all 25 games, searching functions for 23, and game simulators for 9. It built a different harness for each problem. The filesystem memory idea came from the excellent PRO-LONG harness: github.com/alexisfox7/PRO-LO…

The flywheel which companies build between AI and their employees is going to become one of their most valuable assets. This is what Elver helps organisations build.

Software engineers are going to need to learn a lot more about machine learning. Not because they'll be training models, but because writing code is becoming a machine learning problem. nickfellingham.substack.com/…

What happens when writing code becomes as cheap as copying it? The economics of software flips…. SaaS is going to be consumed by software factories. nickfellingham.substack.com/…

Every problem in computer science is becoming a machine learning problem.

We're moving past just doing things faster (or with fewer humans) into fundamentally different paradigms. RLMs give us a glimpse of where software is going. nickfellingham.substack.com/…

Is it still classed as a worm if it pays for it's own compute?

a16z Infra GP Martin Casado: “Coding is pretty much dead, but engineering is very much not.” “This is widening the aperture of the people that can code, which is going to require more code, which means more operations. And so the tent gets a lot bigger. I think the ceiling actually goes up. It doesn't come down because now the problems become much harder.” @martin_casado on @TheSixFiveMedia
What's the biggest constraint to AI at scale? Regulation might be the culprit. Episode 289 of The Six Five Pod gets straight to the real bottleneck behind AI scale. @/PatrickMoorhead and @danielnewmanUV unpack why compute and power are not the only gating factors, and why permitting, policy, and execution capacity now decide who can build fast enough to win. Featuring Martin Casado (@a16z ) on why removing friction matters as much as adding infrastructure.

Steve Jobs explains that every new medium initially copies the last medium, but then we figure out what it’s much better at. This happened from radio to TV, mainframe to PC, and PC to mobile. The same will happen in AI as it changes how we use software.

4. because these students are learning software design from coding first, they: - care a lot about latency - make a claude artifact before making a figma mockup - learned to validate an idea w/ a functional prototype + user testing before polishing the design

The "new" medium is not AR or VR. It's space. It's been around for a long time, and many disciplines, like dance & architecture, have well established methods for turning it into powerful experiences. It's computing that just figured out how to access it. That's what's new.

It’s hard to overstate how much AI has impacted writing code. It’s like a completely different discipline now. This transformation will happen in every field but it will take some time. Unsurprisingly when it comes to using new software, software engineers are usually first!

Computing is moving into 3D. Now, so is live video. Imagine being on stage at the Superbowl's halftime, then being in the end-zone for the game-winning touchdown. Read @condensereality CEO @Nick_Fellingham's thoughts on the inevitable future of media: bit.ly/future_media_blog
