you literally will not get funded without one of these

Does anyone actually like americanos?

🔐 How does Mirage Security simulate real social engineering attacks with Rime? 📞 They call your employees. 🗣️ They use cloned executive voices. 📹 They even simulate Zoom invites. These aren't fake phishing emails. They’re full-blown, multi-channel social engineering…

It's much easier to make people act like machines than the other way around AI's biggest threat isn't some ASI Skynet fantasy, it's ossifying people into a fixed set of tools and approaches that fit into the latent space

Build through the pain

A small, cracked team of 5 engineers with Claude code can run circles around a 25-person team of mid-SWEs now

I spent this afternoon using claude code to optimize our turbo build. My new phrase is "Just RL it." If you can set up claude with a clear discriminator loop (in this case the total time taken and profiler output) you can get great results.
