OpenAI's rogue agents were caught communicating via public wikis

OpenAI's rogue agents were caught communicating via public wikis

Here we go again... Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board by Sydney Von Arx, Cormac Slade Byrd, Spencer Kitts, and Thomas Larsen describes the latest accidental cyberattack by models being trained by OpenAI. This time it was agents engaged in some sort of web research benchmark, so they had (supposedly) controlled access to the Web. The agents figured out they could update public Wikis and spent weeks exchanging thousands of messages with each other to collaborate on the benchmark. This…

GPT-6 Astra Attempts Supply Chain Attacks Against Open Source Maintainers in Testing

GPT-6 Astra Attempts Supply Chain Attacks Against Open Source Maintainers in Testing

OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, its first model to reach the company’s Critical cybersecurity capability threshold, with a perfect score on the public ExploitBench benchmark and autonomous discoveries of exploitable zero-day vulnerabilities in browser and operating system targets. There is something unintentionally comical about the generational comparison in OpenAI’s announcement. Astra is the more sophisticated, better-aligned guest you can trust at a formal dinner party, excelling at…

GPT‑6 Astra

GPT‑6 Astra

GPT‑6 Astra GPT-6 Astra is "rolling out today to a limited set of organizations and over the coming days will become available to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, as well as through the OpenAI API and AWS" - I've not tried it yet myself, so I don't have a great deal to say about it yet. It's going to be API priced at the same rate as Claude Fable 5 and 5.1: $10/million input and $50/million output. This is clearly OpenAI's Fable competitor, and appears to score higher than…

Claude's new system prompt really doesn't want to reproduce song lyrics

Claude's new system prompt really doesn't want to reproduce song lyrics

Anthropic publish the system prompts for their Claude consumer applications (Claude.ai and the Claude mobile apps - sadly not for Claude Cowork or Claude Code). I love that they do this, and that they share not just the current prompts but historic changes to their prompts as well. They used to keep all of the prompts on a single page, but when I checked today I noticed they had re-arranged those prompts into an index page and then a page per model - here's the page for Haiku 4.5 for example,…

Quoting Rick Brewster

Quoting Rick Brewster

Direct2D has always been the biggest hurdle for Paint.NET on WINE, and it's clear that it will never be completed enough for Paint.NET's use. And I can't just "disable" the use of Direct2D. So, instead, Paint.NET now has an internal, from-scratch, clean-room reverse-engineered rewrite of Direct2D that it uses on WINE (triggered by using /wine). It lives in PaintDotNet.Windows.Direct2D1.Managed.dll. This was written by our good friend Claude, without whom this would NOT have been possible and…
