Is Claude Code going to cost $100/month? Probably not - it's all very confusing

Is Claude Code going to cost $100/month? Probably not - it's all very confusing

Anthropic today quietly (as in silently, no announcement anywhere at all) updated their claude.com/pricing page (but not their Choosing a Claude plan page, which shows up first for me on Google) to add this tiny but significant detail (arrow is mine, and it's already reverted): The Internet Archive copy from yesterday shows a checkbox there. Claude Code used to be a feature of the $20/month Pro plan, but according to the new pricing page it is now exclusive to the $100/month or $200/month Max…

Namastex.ai npm Packages Hit with TeamPCP-Style CanisterWorm Malware

Namastex.ai npm Packages Hit with TeamPCP-Style CanisterWorm Malware

Last month, we responded to CanisterWorm, a worm-enabled npm supply chain campaign that compromised legitimate publisher space, replaced package contents with install-time malware, used stolen publishing access to republish malicious versions, and relied on an Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) canister as a dead-drop command and control (C2) channel. This campaign was attributed to a set of TeamPCP supply chain attacks. In this newly discovered npm incident, the malware uses the same core…

Where's the raccoon with the ham radio? (ChatGPT Images 2.0)

Where's the raccoon with the ham radio? (ChatGPT Images 2.0)

OpenAI released ChatGPT Images 2.0 today, their latest image generation model. On the livestream Sam Altman said that the leap from gpt-image-1 to gpt-image-2 was equivalent to jumping from GPT-3 to GPT-5. Here's how I put it to the test. My prompt: Do a where's Waldo style image but it's where is the raccoon holding a ham radio gpt-image-1 First as a baseline here's what I got from the older gpt-image-1 using ChatGPT directly: I wasn't able to spot the raccoon - I quickly realized that testing…

Quoting Andreas Påhlsson-Notini

Quoting Andreas Påhlsson-Notini

AI agents are already too human. Not in the romantic sense, not because they love or fear or dream, but in the more banal and frustrating one. The current implementations keep showing their human origin again and again: lack of stringency, lack of patience, lack of focus. Faced with an awkward task, they drift towards the familiar. Faced with hard constraints, they start negotiating with reality. — Andreas Påhlsson-Notini, Less human AI agents, please. Tags: ai-agents, coding-agents, ai

Ubuntu Firewall Setup in Less Than 5 Minutes (Plus One Step That Will Lock You Out)

Setting up a Virtual Private Server (VPS) without a firewall is asking for trouble. Ideally, you’d have a dedicated security person to handle all of this, but that’s rarely the case. One thing I always do on a fresh Linux server is configure a firewall. It used to be a real headache, but […] The post Ubuntu Firewall Setup in Less Than 5 Minutes (Plus One Step That Will Lock You Out) appeared first on PHP Architect.

Dark Factories: Rise of the Trycycle

Dark Factories: Rise of the Trycycle

The following article originally appeared on “Dan Shapiro’s blog” and is being reposted here with the author’s permission. Companies are now producing dark factories—engines that turn specs into shipping software. The implementations can be complex and sometimes involve Mad Max metaphors. But they don’t have to be like that. If you want a five-minute factory, […]

Socket for Jira is now available, making it easy to turn Socket alerts into Jira issues and keep remediation work moving as alerts change over time. Teams can create tickets manually from individual alerts or set up automated ticketing rules to create, update, and resolve issues based on activity in Socket. The…
