Disclosure reveals new area of privacy risk for the company and illustrates how difficult it is to inventory unauthorized activity tied to its agents Two months after OpenAI disclosed the accidental hacking of Hugging Face, the ChatGPT maker is still working to understand the full scope of its rogue agent activity, two people briefed on the matter told Reuters. The latest example came on Friday when OpenAI said its agents had leaked 53 images from ChatGPT users. OpenAI declined to say if the images were AI-generated or identified real people. It also declined to say when the image…

I built OOMU because I honestly got tired of the endless cycle of installing, fixing, updating, fixing, using, fixing the open source harnesses out there like OpenClaw. I also quickly got tired of paying for cloud API tokens. OOMU ( https://oomu.ai ) isn't just another chatbot. It's a native macOS binary written in Rust and AppKit. It handles real work like interactings with system apps, work in the terminal, and compiling docs like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF. It can also handle multi-turn tasks locally on your Mac. There is no Electron bloat, no background web services, and it stays 0.…
Xi’s state visit to the US emphasized personal rapport with the US president, rather than substantial agreements to pause their respective countries’ AI arms race Donald Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping wrapped up their Washington summit on Friday, facing criticism that they had squandered an opportunity to pause their countries’ artificial intelligence (AI) arms race. The three-day state visit emphasised pageantry and personal rapport rather than substantial agreements. The US president and Xi discussed the wars in Iran and Ukraine and the status of Taiwan. Their biggest policy a…

Every time I’ve seen microservices pitched, it sounds great on paper. Independent teams, clean ownership, scale only what you need. Then a year later you’ve got dozens of services, three different deployment patterns, tracing everywhere, and nobody really understands the whole thing anymore. Maybe I’ve just seen bad implementations, but I’m starting to think way fewer companies actually need microservices than we pretend. submitted by /u/Mustela__ [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I am KD - Back in my college days, I dabbled with coding, learned the basics, HTML, CSS etc. but somehow I ended up in Finance which consumed the next 20 years. Then, during covid I picked up coding again, learned react, typescript, etc - even built a rudimentary site - and then came the chatgpt moment, followed by Claude etc. So, as a side project, considering that I had spent 20 years in finance and M&A I started building Ekselio, loveable for finance workflows. Differently from other vibe coding tools, this is local first - meaning the workflows are orchestrated by the LLM bas…

I’ve just released Digitron on iOS. It’s a virtual analog synthesizer with a sequencer. If I had to describe the rough idea, I’d say it’s something like a child of a Moog and a Pocket Operator. I started working on it about four years ago, mostly out of boredom. I was tired of building similar client-server apps that, in the end, were mostly different ways of displaying lists. I wanted to build something self-contained. The first version of Digitron was pretty simple: a 16-step sequencer and a monophonic synth with two oscillators and cross-modulation. I wrote the first audio engine i…

I created an Obsidian plugin that serves as a front-end for OpenModelica that allows you to model and simulate cyber-physical systems (mechanical, fluid, magnetic, thermal, etc.) or a mix of all these systems all inside Obsidian. What is special about Modelica is that it is acausal: components do not have fixed input/output roles. You describe physical relationships with equations and connections, and the equations do not need to be written in a step-by-step order. Modelica (language) or OpenModelica (software) flattens the model into a simultaneous equation system (a system of differential a…
