"... AI code assistants invent package names. In a recent study, researchers found that about 5.2 percent of package suggestions from commercial models didn't exist, compared to 21.7 percent from open source or openly available models.

Running that code should result in an error when importing a non-existent package. But miscreants have realized that they can hijack the hallucination for their own benefit."

The Register · LLMs can't stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everythingBy Thomas Claburn

"It’s not that hard to build a fully functioning, code-editing agent.

It seems like it would be. When you look at an agent editing files, running commands, wriggling itself out of errors, retrying different strategies - it seems like there has to be a secret behind it.

There isn’t. It’s an LLM, a loop, and enough tokens. It’s what we’ve been saying on the podcast from the start. The rest, the stuff that makes Amp so addictive and impressive? Elbow grease.

But building a small and yet highly impressive agent doesn’t even require that. You can do it in less than 400 lines of code, most of which is boilerplate.

I’m going to show you how, right now. We’re going to write some code together and go from zero lines of code to “oh wow, this is… a game changer.”

I urge you to follow along. No, really. You might think you can just read this and that you don’t have to type out the code, but it’s less than 400 lines of code. I need you to feel how little code it is and I want you to see this with your own eyes in your own terminal in your own folders.

Here’s what we need:

- Go
- Anthropic API key that you set as an environment variable, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"

Google has just launched Gemini Code Assist for individuals, a free AI-coding assistant offering *90 times* more code completions than GitHub Copilot. Reminiscent of when Google launched Gmail in 2004 offering one gigabyte of storage space — more than 100 times what Yahoo and Microsoft had at the time. thenewstack.io/google-ai-codin #AIcoding #aidevelopment tip @Techmeme

Ok...so I got #claudeai #api working from Bash...

You know what's coming next right?

I'm going to let it lose on a blank VPS of mine and see just how fucked things can get. AI with root access...that will end well, right?

I'm thinking of an autonomous agent limited to the VPS that will police the server.

...and if some rando amateur on masto has thought of it (hell, has a working framework of it), you can bet the bad guys have a weaponised version of such a script.
