Should we trust AI agents to patch our vulnerabilities?
I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I still wanted to share and comment on Google's recent findings on vulnerability/exploitation trends. The article is a bit lengthy (~17 min read) but it's a good read. Check it out here.
My takeaways (most of which aren't particularly surprising):

Sounding Smart Doesn't Make It True
Another really good article in the ByteByteGo Newsletter. This time about the conditions which lead LLMs to "lie".
My takeaways:
More reasoning isn't a silver bullet. Techniques like chain-of-though prompting (asking the AI to show its work step-by-step) make answers easier to follow, but an AI can still . . .
Jeffrey Ladish interview
I'm not one for fear mongering but I do feel like the topic of AI regulation requires some serious thought. Perhaps my favorite interview thus far is Jeffrey Ladish's conversation. He raises some thought-provoking considerations. Check it out when you get a chance.
Tokens, Tools, and Total Restarts
What happens when you hit Enter.
I'm still very much a novice with AI but lately I've been curious about context engineering. ByteByteGo published another interesting article about initial processing workflows. Check it out when you get a chance: https://blog.bytebytego.com/p/what-happens-inside-an-ai-chatbot
My takeaways:

Why Frontier AI Models Keep Secrets
ByteByteGo published an interesting article on the commercial and safety risks of exposed AI reasoning traces. It's academic in nature (so consume it with a grain of salt) but ut still has some interesting info. Check out the full article here.
My takeaways:
- When AI models answer hard questions, they generate a . . .
Introducing getstat.dev
They say necessity is the mother of invention, right? :-)
About a week ago, I published a simple little page called https://getstat.dev. It's live now.
It's nothing fancy; just an easy client-centric way to verify connectivity to the public internet without the excessive bloat of visiting an actual web site. I . . .
