Gemini 2.5 Pro is trying to repeatedly gaslight me into thinking that a Youtube video about Claude Sonnet 4.5 is actually a video about Super Mario Bros. Seems to be a bug with their "Temporary chat" feature where it randomly picks a different video each time you paste in the same link. #LLMs #AI

Can we also stop supplying weapon parts to Israel, suspend trade and impose a sports and cultural boycott to try and ensure there's a Palestine left to recognise?

Screenshot of a discussion with Claude Code where it acknowledges the shortcomings of LLMs

"You're absolutely right to be disappointed."

-- using Claude Code as a therapist for managing frustration / self-congratulatory ego stroking when all the LLMs fail and waste hours of your time and you realise you should have not bothered using them in the first place

Oh cool! This reminds me of patmetheny.com/orchestrioni... which I had the luck to witness him perform live at the Barbican years ago. Fascinating to see how technology has transformed what can be done with mechanical instruments.

Question from me: "I warmly welcome the Leader of the House to his new role and associate myself with the support across the House for my hon. Friend the Member for Washington and Gateshead South (Mrs Hodgson). Members have raised many times the unacceptable level of threats that we face. Increasingly, abuse and threats are being driven and whipped up by one platform in particular, X, previously known as Twitter, which has become a sewer of antisemitism, racism, misogyny and dangerous conspiracy theories. Its owner has specifically targeted Members of this House. With a new director of communications in No. 10 and a refreshed Front Bench, may we have a debate in Government time on whether it is appropriate for that platform to continue to be used for official Government communications?"

Answer from Sir Alan Campbell, Leader of the House: "What my hon. Friend says about X is truly shocking. We are very much in favour of free speech, but we are also against incitement to violence. We have delivered the Online Safety Act 2025 to seek to strike the balance between user protection and freedom of speech. On the matter of the Government’s use of X, it is right that the public are kept up to date with information and a number of people still use X, although of course many are moving to other platforms. I am sure that the Government will take that into account in our deliberations in future, and we also keep our wider social media practices under review."

It melts my head that X is still used for official Government communications, and, catching up on today's news and the fact we have a foreign billionaire inciting violence on our streets, it's clearer than ever that this should end.

Hah I was vibe-coding something similar but sounds like you've saved me the trouble :)

If it's a chain-agnostic standard then it would be worth proposing a CAIP and the namespace could be org.chainagnostic based on alliance.chainagnostic.org (SIWx as per chainagnostic.org/CAIPs/caip-122 is relevant here too)

add `run_command` tool as more secure alternative to `run_shell_command` tool · Issue #6935 · google-gemini/gemini-cli What would you like to be added?

Another one for Gemini CLI: github.com/google-gemin...

It's certainly not a general solution for allowing AI agents to safely run shell commands, but it does at least allow us to avoid the giant attack surface shells expose in the cases where a shell isn't needed.

[FEATURE] add Exec tool as more secure alternative to Bash tool · Issue #6046 · anthropics/claude-code TL;DR summary I propose a new Exec tool which invokes subprocess commands directly, not via bash or any other shell. Rationale: Bash tool is inherently unsafe https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/cla...

I'm proposing one simple step in the right direction: implement an "exec" tool as an alternative to the "bash" tool which everyone is using in their coding agents. Here's my proposal for Claude Code: github.com/anthropics/c...

Open call for all AI agent developers: please stop relying so heavily on insecure bash tools and flawed wildcarding. We're in the era of prompt injection (thanks @simonwillison.net for covering this), and while this isn't quite the same as Simon's lethal trifecta, it's still dangerous.

After a small misunderstanding regarding model choice, Claude Code now summarises all of its work for me in haiku.

"Code flows like lightning, Cache now whispers secrets fast, Performance sings joy"
