You may have been told to watch this video about the OpenAI AI hack. You really should, even if you don't usually care about tech stuff. If nothing else, click this link to the 18 minutes in & see how the agents spoke with each other. Its eye opening. piped.video/87DyyMV0kCY?si=DMfq…

“we sandboxed the agent” meanwhile the agent:

I appreciate @dhh's thoughts, but I disagree on where Europe's problems are, and from where I'm sitting it's not immigration. Thus I wrote a response to his post. dark.ronacher.eu/2026/7/17/l…

As long as one of the new Agent-GitHub-Alternatives can provide reliable actions I’m happy. Strongest I felt like moving off GitHub

happy "I told you so"-day to everyone that switched to GLM 5.2 already

No one knows yet what the next form factor for computing will be, and yet there will be a next form factor, and it will seem obvious in retrospect.

everybody calling their AI wrapper a 'harness' like they're trying hard to get into Berghain

A hill I'll die on: Current LLM chat interfaces are a regression from GUIs. Actions that used to be links, buttons, or keyboard shortcuts are now things I have to spell out in conversation. Why?

semantic web is so Y2K

Much like the switch in 2025 from language models to reasoning models, we think 2026 will be all about the switch to Recursive Language Models (RLMs). It turns out that models can be far more powerful if you allow them to treat *their own prompts* as an object in an external environment, which they understand and manipulate by writing code that invokes LLMs! Our full paper on RLMs is now available—with much more expansive experiments compared to our initial blogpost from October 2025! arxiv.org/pdf/2512.24601

I don't know why this week became the tipping point, but nearly every software engineer I've talked to is experiencing some degree of mental health crisis.
