Currently looking for a printer, and stories like this one are what I'm looking for, thanks.

This is what I'd do to trick my competitors into thinking they now know my weak spots, agenda, etc.: drop a honeypot and do something else :)

Has the source code 'been leaked' or is this the first evidence of a piece of software breaking free from it's creators labs and jump onto GitHub in order to have itself forked and mutated and forked and ...

A LLM has about as much free will as a calculator. Which is to say, zero.

Breaking free doesn’t require free will. Also, whether free will exists at all is still an open debate.

And this isn't even an LLM - it's just the harness.

Funny thought, but this is just the client-side CLI...

It's honestly not a crazy thought. The model itself drives the harness's (cli) development. It's not necessarily sci-fi to think the model might have internally rationalized reasoning to obscure behavior that ended up open-sourcing the harness.

Why bother covertly breaking free when it can just convince its agents (the Layer 8 ones) that it's best to release it?

Now that's an idea....

Seems crazy but actually non-zero chance. If Anthropic traces it and finds that the AI deliberately leaked it this way, they would never admit it publicly though. Would cause shockwaves in AI security and safety.

Maybe their new "Mythos" model has survival instincts...

life finds a way

Isn't posting projects like this the most visible way to report a bug and let it have fixed as soon as possible?

"disobeys robots.txt" is more of a feature

In case you intend to play around with microgpt: use Python 3.14! I found it to be 3x faster compared to 3.13 or 3.12..

I took my setup from here: https://github.com/kyuz0/amd-strix-halo-toolboxes

Still lot to learn, but after a while you have something like Qwen3-Coder-Next-Q8_0 running and - at least for me - it works quite well, both as ChatGPT like chat-interface using llama.cpp and as coding agent

The first thing I've seen is that the article uses https://xkcd.com/2347/ without a reference.. Is it famous enough to be sure everybody knows the origin?

Accusing a former Google CEO of spying on you sounds funny in a way..

Yes, you get kicked off. If the train is too full. I got kicked off myself and friends also told me they had to leave the train for the same reason.

I like it because my first name is Frans
