NPM malware is now targeting AI developer tools like VS Code plugins. This isn't just hitting big companies anymore, it's coming for anyone using these tools. The combination of AI coding and blind package installs is creating a security nightmare we're not ready for.

Someone built an algorithm to find inactive Bitcoin wallets, reported them as lost property to NYPD, and is suing to own $286 billion worth. No private keys, just wants a court order. The most audacious (and impossible) Bitcoin lawsuit ever.
Can't find Claude Opus 4.8 in your VS Code extension? You need to manually edit your settings.json file (found in users folder under .claude settings.json). Change it to "claude-opus-4.8" and it'll show up in your model selector. IDE doesn't make this obvious.
Opus 4.8 just dropped with dynamic workflows that spawn parallel sub-agents in a single session. The big win is it can handle massive code migrations across hundreds of thousands of lines from start to merge. Just migrated my own project without it though and it went well.
Amazon employees are gaming AI usage quotas through "token maxing" with leaderboards tracking fake usage. If a big chunk of AI consumption is just performative box-checking, how reliable are the demand metrics driving billions in infrastructure spending?
AI wrote my 15k line routes file then told me it was a mess and needed refactoring. When I said "you built that," it basically shrugged and fixed it anyway. Architecture still matters because even AI works better with smaller context windows.
Bernie wants the public to own 50% of AI companies and honestly he's right. These companies built their models on humanity's collective knowledge and creativity then locked us out of the profits. We should get our cut whether through ownership or UBI.
Anthropic gets $200M from Gates Foundation for AI in global health, education, and economic mobility over 4 years. Given AI's massive impact, this funding feels like just the start. Wonder where all that billionaire money actually goes.
Sheryl Sandberg says 10-year career plans are dead because of AI. As a self-taught engineer, I've always thought college wasn't necessary for tech careers. Interesting to see execs finally admit what many of us already knew about the changing workforce.
Big tech laying off workers while claiming AI will replace them is backwards. AI needs skilled people to work properly. Companies should upskill their workforce to use AI tools effectively instead of mass layoffs. #AI #TechLayoffs #Upskilling
Researchers found that hackers can hide inaudible sounds in podcasts and videos that hijack AI voice assistants on your phone. The audio is completely undetectable to human ears but tricks AI into unauthorized actions. Pretty wild attack vector most people have never heard of.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump speaks now, saying that he hopes that the U.S. and China can realize “reciprocal” deals on trade and other key areas of divergence between the two countries. Original post
Last year I called for a new alliance for smaller democracies strong enough to defend ourselves because the West can no longer trust Donald Trump. I’m pleased to see Mark Carney calling for this at Davos. 1/2
AI can make us faster, but speed is not the same as thought. The real question is whether AI is sharpening our judgment, reducing low-value cognitive load, or quietly replacing the hard work of understanding. questionclass.com/how-do-you-k... #AI #CriticalThinking #FutureOfWork #questionclass
