We added two sentences to Claude Code's prompt on Opus 5.5 to steer it away from recreating someone else's specific game because using Claude to infringe IP is against our usage policy. Original games, genre games, and games built from your own designs and assets are meant to keep working. We'll continue to iterate to ensure we're striking the right balance. In the meantime, if Claude turns down something that's yours, send it my way.

I suspect this will be Carneys first big mistake. No matter how the govt/media is trying to position this, Canadians are not in favor

Introducing voxl extremely fast remote desktop streaming written in rust → 60 fps + low latency → macOS, Windows and Linux → One WebSocket, so it works through proxies and sandbox portals → Agent APIs: /screenshot, /record, /wait

HOLY: Anthropic's Claude Code engineer Addy Osmani is warning about a brutal AI paradox: the more coding you hand to agents, the more you risk losing the very skills needed to supervise them. He calls it "cognitive surrender." AI-generated code looks pristine, tests pass, and engineers start approving work they no longer understand. Anthropic's own research warns: "supervising Claude requires the very coding skills that may atrophy from AI overuse." Osmani makes a striking observation: "When you're producing more than you can stand behind, you're no longer reviewing. You're hoping."

Hard to overstate how big of a deal this is. tl;dr — ANY unpatched Linux server with even a single TCP port exposed to the internet (say for HTTP or SSH) and MPTCP active (default for many Go web servers) is vulnerable to complete takeover.

A lot more things make sense now that it's clear Carney is just a boomer whose brain got oneshotted by LLM output.
Carney said he's using an executive from an American Tech giant to “transform government” using AI
