Welcome to my first big impact vulnerability writeup! I like good stories, so let me describe some background first. I recently had a ‘great’ idea (I know, I know, I should stop having these) to set up a sr.ht instance that would pay people for hosting their projects. You can find it shamelessly plugged in the timeline section, in case you want to try it or flame me for it on socials. Anyway, the ...
Using LLMs to trace alchemical knowledge and decode 17th century letters
16 min read
I’ve written previously about the pitfalls and use cases for AI in augmenting historical research, but things have changed significantly since 2024-25. Occasioned by the dueling releases of GPT-6 Sol and Opus 5.5 this week, I thought I’d share some early results with using these models not just to perform “research assistant” type functions like transcribing documents, but to try to actually solve...

Dynamic Abliteration: Non-Destructive Refusal Suppression via Engram Steering
34 min read
When working with open-weight LLMs like Qwen, controlling refusal behavior on security, administrative, prompts typically requires fine-tuning or permanent weight update. Traditional weight abliteration technique neutralizes refusal directions by projecting weight matrices orthogonal to a refusal vector. However, this permanently alters base model weights and can degrade performance across non-ref...

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...

AI coding has made CI a bottleneck, so we reworked ours to keep up Earlier this year, I opened Linear to find that Tuomas, our CTO, had assigned an issue to me, titled “CI costs are high.” While I was at it, he also wanted me to make CI faster. Agents have made it exponentially faster to ship code, but validating those changes hasn’t quite kept up at the same rate. Every PR still has to pass throu...
