New on our Frontier Red Team blog: using Claude to formally verify software at large scale. Formal verification can prove that code is free of certain bugs, but historically it has only been feasible for small codebases (or required a lot of expert time). With AI models, however, this is beginning to change. In collaboration with @theoremlabs, we used Claude to prove security properties in over one hundred real-world open-source libraries over the span of a few weeks.

People saying Bioware was woke because of a segment where you get "lectured" on pronouns, like Mass Effect 2/3 don't have that shit too -EDI says she doesn't care about Joker using "she/her" despite Shepard bringing it up -Legion specifically asks to be referred to as "they" because they don't consider themselves an individual larping mfs whining about something they've never played, these games came out 14-16 YEARS AGO and it's nothing new.😭

Pretending that letting modern-day politics bleed into their work didn't burn through what little goodwill they had left is delusional at best and disingenuous at worst. David Gaider, the creator of Dragon Age, is gay. He wrote bisexual characters without making their sexuality their entire personality or sacrificing the worldbuilding in the process. Leliana and Zevran were bisexual, and their backgrounds reflected the cultures they came from. Alistair and Morrigan were straight and had their own preferences. Wynne, Sten, and Oghren weren't interested in the player romantically. They were written like REAL PEOPLE, with their sexualities woven naturally into the narrative. You wouldn't necessarily know a character's sexuality unless you took the time to get to know them, exhaust their dialogue, and try flirting with them. Their identities were part of who they were, not the entirety of who they were. They didn't blurt it out over tea. And the worst part is that Baldur's Gate 3 proved you could still do this. It integrated sexuality and identity into the world and its characters without constantly shining a spotlight on them. It let the writing speak for itself, and people accepted it and moved on. Meanwhile, the writing in Veilguard was lazy as all hell. When you treat your audience like they're fucking three years old, assume they're too stupid to understand anything without having it spelled out for them, and gut a beloved IP in the process of trying to prove a point, don't be surprised when you alienate the very community you're supposedly trying to uplift. Queer people are people. They're not special, they're not props, and they're not fucking mouthpieces. Write them like people.

I actively refuse to believe Star Wars fans watched this in 2005 and thought it was straight pungent slop dogshit

Watching neo-puritans clutch their pearls over HELLRAISER: REVIVAL gives me joy. The Cenobites returning, at the height of our current sexual moral panic, is a timely and perverse incursion and I welcome it gladly.
