OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever just said the quiet part out loud: scaling laws are breaking down. Bigger models aren’t getting better at thinking, they’re getting worse at generalizing and reasoning. Now he’s eyeingneurosymbolic AIandinnate inductive constraints. Yep, the “just make it huge” era m.. read more  

NVIDIA’s AI Red Team nailed three security sinkholes in LLMs:reckless use ofexec/eval,RAG pipelines that grab too much data, andmarkdown that doesn't get cleaned. These cracks open doors to remote code execution, sneaky prompt injection, and link-based data leaks. The fix-it trend:App security’s lea.. read more  

A new study just broke the safety game wide open: rhymed prompts slipped past filters in25 major LLMs, including Gemini 2.5 Pro and Deepseek - withup to 100% success. No clever chaining, no jailbreak soup. Just single-shot rhyme. Turns out, poetic language isn’t just for bard-core Twitter. When it c.. read more  

Slack pulled back the curtain onSlack AI, its LLM-powered assistant built with a fortress mindset. Every customer gets their ownisolated environment. Any data passed tovendor LLMs? It'sephemeral. Gone before it can stick. No fine-tuning. No exporting data outside Slack. And there’s a wholemiddle-lay.. read more

The move from Cloudflare Workers to stateful Go servers resulted in a 6x performance improvement and simplified arc.. read more  

The Declarative Action Architecture (DAA) is a scalable E2E testing pattern that separates concerns across three distinct layers. TheTest Layeris 100% declarative, statingwhatis being tested without any procedural logic, making tests read like documentation. The coreAction Layerimplements the execut.. read more  

Datadog ditched its “never fail” mindset after a March 2023 meltdown knocked out half its Kubernetes nodes and took major user features down with them. The fix? A full-stack rethink built aroundgraceful degradation. The team addeddisk-based persistence at intake,live-data prioritization,QoS-aware re.. read more  

Lorin Hochstein argues that while high-profile engineer attrition is often speculated to contribute to major outages, it is universally absent from public Root Cause Analyses (RCAs). This exclusion occurs because public RCAs aim to reassure customers by focusing on technical fixes, whereas attrition.. read more  

A new open-source benchmark looked at 183,000 AWS Lambda invocations, andarm64 beats x86_64across the board in both cost and speed. Rust on arm64 with SHA-256 tuned in assembly? It clocks in 4–5× faster than x86 in CPU-heavy tasks. Cold starts are snappy too—5–8× quicker than Node.js and Python... read more  

Team Invictus caught a BEC attempt using WeTransfer to slip in a fake Microsoft 365 login page powered byEvilProxy. Classic Adversary-in-the-Middle move, but dressed up with a slick delivery package. Digging deeper, the team mapped the attacker’s setup and found something bigger: a credential grab c.. read more
