Not sure what this is all about but I've been enjoying listening to NFL game preview podcasts in the evening when the games already happened. Just amusing how it doesn't matter who the forecaster is, ex-player/GM/analyst/fan etc. they can consistently get the predictions terrible wrong and absolutely right. It's a toss up hehehe. Easy money for the prediction markets #nfl

In my series on how venture capital has evolved into something unrecognizable and too-often toxic, I switch from the big-picture view to a practical question: How does this affect founders? Well surprise — it's not good! Here, I break down how the deck gets stacked against founders by the increasingly-centralized power of the Cancer Capital firms, how smaller VC firms factor into the market, and what founders can try to do to fight back.

Anthropic says a malicious actor used access to Cursor's marketplace to publish a "tampered" copy of the Claude Code extension, which it didn't build or publish (Felix Rieseberg/@felixrieseberg)

So... First, this is a great example of the enemy of your enemy not being your friend:

I can hope that this will cause Adobe to help her the AI bubble popped sooner and/or that it breaks Adobe's market share, but I'm not going to use these tools, nor will I cheer too loudly if the result is that copyright restrictions actually get applied and stop LLM coding (even though stopping LLM coding is unambiguously good). (This is very much not a "clean room" implementation if Claude's training data includes any Adobe source, which it very well might.
Second, assuming this does not cause courts to suddenly start actually applying copyright law correctly, it represents a terrifying new reality for legacy software companies, given their dependence on software monopolies for a lot of their income. The people who have been building on open source all along have the better business model here, but this becoming the norm is more destructive than helpful to the open source movement, since "just rebuild it" seems easier than actually using or contributing to an existing open-source project.
That said, these tools are certainly full of serious bugs. They would be even if they had been written by humans in this timeframe, although in that case you'd probably have an order of magnitude fewer issues. These bugs will result in things like "if you open this PDF with the tool, your computer gets taken over by a virus". That occasionally happens with Adobe products too, of course, but it will happen more frequently and won't be fixed as fast/well in these tools.

The latest shudder for stocks in the AI industry pulled markets lower worldwide on Thursday,
while oil prices hit their highest levels since May on worries about the war with Iran.
The S&P 500 fell 1.2% for its worst day since July,
while the Nasdaq composite tumbled 2.6%.
The weakness for tech stocks was so overwhelming that it masked strength for the rest of the US market,
in which the majority of stocks actually rose.
