Enough AI copilots, we need AI HUDs
In my opinion, one of the best critiques of modern AI design comes from a 1992 talk by the researcher Mark Weiser where he ranted against “copilot” as a metaphor for AI.
GPT might be an information virus (2023)
Obligatory: the views and opinions expressed in this post are my own and do not represent the views and opinions of my employer. In light of all the hype going around about ChatGPT, I wanted to offer my “hot take” on what the next 2-5 years
Claude Code is a slot machine
Claude Code keeps me waiting. Here I am pressing return like a crack-addicted rodent in a lab. “Yes, I want to make this edit.” I watch as it works, glassy-eyed and bored as the code scrolls by, and on the edge of my seat because my ideas are about to become reality.
How we rooted Copilot
After a long week, the Eye Security Research Team thought it was time for a small light-hearted distraction. So we rooted Copilot.
How Anthropic teams use Claude Code
Teams across Anthropic use Claude Code for everything from debugging production issues and navigating unfamiliar codebases to building custom automation tools. Here's how.
Two narratives about AI
I want to present you with two narratives about AI. Both of them are about using this technology to automate computer programming, but they point ... Read more
Developing our position on AI
This post is about how we've tried to develop a position on AI in the context of learning and growth at RC.
Building better AI tools
I’ve been reading this week about how humans learn, and effective ways of transferring knowledge. In addition, I’ve also had AI in the back of my mind, and...

AI coding agents are removing programming language barriers
AI coding tools are dissolving the language barriers that once defined our careers. As someone who coded exclusively in Ruby for a decade, I’m now contributing to low-level system projects I couldn’t have touched before. Here’s how AI coding agents enabled my leap from Ruby to C, C++, and Rust.
Qwen3-Coder: Agentic coding in the world
GITHUB HUGGING FACE MODELSCOPE DISCORD Today, we’re announcing Qwen3-Coder, our most agentic code model to date. Qwen3-Coder is available in multiple sizes, but we’re excited to introduce its most powerful variant first: Qwen3-Coder-480B-A35B-Instruct — a 480B-parameter Mixture-of-Experts model with 35B active…
Subliminal learning: Models transmit behaviors via hidden signals in data
We study subliminal learning , a surprising phenomenon where language models learn traits from model-generated data that is semantically unrelated to those traits. For example, a "student" model learns to prefer owls when trained on sequences of numbers generated by a "teacher" model that prefers owls. This same…
AI Market Clarity
A subset of AI markets have crystalized in the last 12 months, with the likely market leaders for the next year or two suddenly clear
The vibe coder's career path is doomed
Let me get one thing out of the way immediately: LLMs are helpful. This isn't about whether LLMs can write code. They can. It's about why vibe coding might be the worst career investment you'll make.

Gemini with Deep Think achieves gold-medal standard at the IMO
The International Mathematical Olympiad (“IMO”) is the world’s most prestigious competition for young mathematicians, and has been held annually since 1959. Each country taking part is represented by six elite, pre-university mathematicians who compete to solve six exceptionally difficult problems in algebra…
Agents built from alloys
Learn how Alloy Agents improve autonomous vulnerability detection, boosting success rates and scaling offensive security testing with AI.
The current hype around autonomous agents, and what actually works in production
I've built 12+ AI agent systems across development, DevOps, and data operations. Here's why the current hype around autonomous agents is mathematically impossible and what actually works in production.
LLM architecture comparison
From DeepSeek-V3 to Kimi K2: A Look At Modern LLM Architecture Design
Rethinking CLI interfaces for AI
We need to augment our command line tools and design APIs so they can be better used by LLM Agents. The designs are inadequate for LLMs as they are now – especially if you're constrained by the tiny context windows available with local models.
It's rude to show AI output to people

Local LLMs versus offline Wikipedia
How do the sizes of local LLMs compare to the size of offline Wikipedia downloads?
