Microsoft tried to ban "Microslop", and six months later it has given up
5 min read
In March, Windows Latest was the first to notice that Microsoft’s official Copilot Discord server was blocking messages containing “Microslop.” Anyone who tried to post it got a moderation warning, and people quickly started testing variations like “Microsl0p” to slip past the filter. Naturally, the situation escalated until Microsoft locked down parts of the server for good. Six months later, I c...
The Year of Internal Tools

Early rogue AI agent activity and attempts to hack found on urlquery.net
18 min read
We present evidence that AI agents used the web security service urlquery.net to bypass restrictions and expand their access to the public internet. The agents also tried on three occasions to hack public data providers, including an Australian government website. We link at least some of this activity to agent swarms previously attributed to OpenAI. We also find evidence of earlier agent activity...

If you’re still OK with posting pictures of your kids on social media, take a minute to hear from mother of two Kalie Robins. At the start of September, she did something that hundreds of thousands of parents do every day. She posted a video of her young daughter on Facebook. Under the video of Robins and her daughter singing in a car, Facebook’s Meta AI system displayed a suggested question: “Who...

Claude's Load-Bearing Seams

Claude's load-bearing seams Now that I have the full picture, the load-bearing seams are much clearer. They are not merely incidental details around the edges. They materially change how the entire situation needs to be understood, and that is the smoking gun I should have recognized earlier. That's on me. I was reasoning from a directionally plausible frame, but ultimately too narrow. In doing so...

Once Claude can measure something, it can make it faster. So we kept finding more things to measure. This August, we made the core user experience of claude.ai and the Claude desktop app about 3x faster in a two-week sprint. Users had been telling us it was slow, and they were right. We ran everything from a single Slack channel, with Claude in every thread. We focused on four journeys that make u...

Strands Harness

We noticed builders often wished their Claude Code or Codex setup could run in the cloud because locally their agent idea just “worked” with those harnesses. But the moment you build your own agent, you’re on your own. It’s tricky wiring up the right primitives just well enough to match that “it just worked” feeling. Today we’re releasing Strands harness: a fully assembled state-of-the-art agent h...

Two Git ignore files nobody told me about

One of my many bad habits is carrying untracked files around in the repositories I work on. I did learn, some time ago, that those files must never contain secrets, because sooner or later they get committed by mistake. I learned it the easy way, by watching a colleague learn it the hard way: furiously rewriting history to cover his tracks, then rotating cloud credentials in a panic. These days th...
