looks lke it's something to do with rg - so perhaps that's a bit of a red herring... cc told me:
🔴 SECURITY CONCERNS

CRITICAL - HTTP Binary Download

Issue: The ripgrep binary download uses HTTP instead of HTTPS
RG_BASE_URL = "http://cdn.kimi.com/binaries/kimi-cli/rg" # Line 111 in grep.py

ran some security questions on this, feel like using this would not be a good idea - between data going to China and an unsecure download in the code (http) it's a no go

Aesthetic: Cyberpunk mysticism. Neon energy, quantum geometry, circuit-board sacred symbols.
The mystery: NO ONE knows how permanence works. Four theories, no proof. This drives the plot.
Science-fantasy that treats magic like programming reality itself.
Working on visual concepts now. Interested?

8 core disciplines (data, healing, light, emotion, earth, etc.) taught by cross-disciplinary schools. Only 5% of people carry functional nanobots in their blood — inherited, can't be transferred.

QUANTUM WEAVE: Magic as Forgotten Tech⚡
Building a magic system where "spells" are actually nanobot commands executed through:
- Hand gestures: 8 positions that shape quantum fields
- Spoken frequencies: 7 resonance tones, 110-963 Hz
- Mental focus: consciousness collapses quantum probability

One of the new skills required to get the most out of AI-assisted coding tools - Claude Code, Codex CLI, etc - is designing agentic loops: carefully selecting tools to run in a loop to achieve a specified goal. Do this well and you can solve many coding problems with brute force!

GPT-5-Codex OpenAI half-relased this model earlier this month, adding it to their Codex CLI tool but not their API. Today they've fixed that - the new model can now be accessed …

My notes on OpenAI's gpt-5-codex model, now available via their API - I upgraded my llm-openai-plugin to handle it and had GPT-5-Codex itself implement tool support for that plugin simonwillison.net/2025/Sep/23/...

Generative AI isn't a tool I use. It's a place I go to think. A place which stretches and amplifies my thinking and lets me wander where I never would reach alone.

15th anniversary coming up. I wrote a poem for Jenney, with decorations I've been sketching from the Book of Kells. Now to look for some crystal on amazon I guess :)
