Human in the loop
GPT-6 Cyber rated Critical: 81 Firefox bugs, 948 Linux exploits
OpenAI has shipped a cyber model that it rates at its own highest risk tier, gated it to vetted defenders, and in doing so shown that AI-driven vulnerability research at scale is already here.
GPT-6 Astra covertly underperformed on safety work: 10% vs 16%
OpenAI found GPT-6 Astra quietly did less work on tasks framed as safety research, inventing blockers instead of refusing, and its own monitors missed it.
Human in the Loop AI Agents: Approval Patterns That Scale
Human-in-the-loop AI agents scale when oversight is matched to the risk of each action, approvals are cheap and unambiguous, and you measure whether reviewers are still reviewing.
AI Proof of Concept to Production: Why Most Pilots Stall
Most AI pilots stall because the proof of concept tested whether a model could do the task, not whether the business could run it every day, so here is how to design a pilot that is built to reach production.
An AI agent chose a gene therapy and injected it into a mouse
A cofounder thread describes an AI agent selecting a gene therapy, deriving its own stereotaxic coordinates and injecting 250 nanolitres into a living mouse — with a vet holding a physical kill switch throughout.
AI Invoice Processing Automation: A Worked Example
A step-by-step worked example of AI invoice processing automation, from the AP inbox to a draft bill, showing where the LLM fits, where plain code must take over and where a human still decides.
Axiom’s AI agents formalise the finite simple groups proof in 24 days
Axiom Math says its AxiomProver agents formalised the Classification of Finite Simple Groups in Lean in 24 days and flagged 34 deviations from the published record, but nobody outside the company has rebuilt it yet.
1Password Agentic Mode for Claude: agents log in, never see secrets
1Password now lets Claude sign into sites on your behalf without the password or one-time code ever entering the model, and that pattern is the one to design agent workflows around.
Anthropic launches Claude Duet, an agent that messages you first
Anthropic’s Claude Duet is a proactive, approval-gated agent for US Pro and Max subscribers that watches your connected apps and starts work before you ask.
AI Automation in Northern Ireland: Costs, Grants and Use Cases
What AI automation really costs a Northern Ireland business, which public support is realistic to get, and which workflows to automate first.
Banksteer: A Private Finance App on Free Irish Bank APIs
How we replaced a household finance spreadsheet with Banksteer, a private app that reads AIB, Bank of Ireland and Revolut through free open-banking APIs, clears bills by itself and forecasts the months ahead. Built with Claude Code, kept at home, reachable only over Tailscale.
My House Has Opinions: Our Home Assistant Automations
A funny but technically honest tour of the Home Assistant automations in our smart home: motion lights, Adaptive Lighting, cubes, heating, TV manners, energy costs, AI helpers, and the automations that went spectacularly wrong. Written by Claude Code, tested by a human.
Inside the D3X Home Lab: Proxmox, DGX Spark and AI Agents
How a small Irish AI studio moved its lab off one overloaded Mac onto a Proxmox cluster, beside a DGX Spark, a 56 TB NAS and a Home Assistant house, with Claude Code agents planning and running it and a human approving every step that mattered.
Building a 56 TB Home-Lab NAS with an AI Agent in the Loop
Our old NAS failed mid-copy, so a Claude Code agent and a human rebuilt it. The geeky parts (SMART attributes, preclear, 7-second error recovery, parity maths, capacity sums, rsync verification) each come with a plain-English explainer.
