Whoa. This is truly unbelievable. This white hat is providing over-eager AI builders a much-needed wake up call. Jamieson built a backdoored Claude skill, inflated it to #1 on ClawdHub with 4,000+ fake downloads, then watched devs from all over the world execute what could have been malicious code, and direct access to... everything. SSH keys, AWS creds, .env files, you-name-it. Thankfully he just pinged a server to confirm his success. This is supply chain security 101 speedrun for the AI era. if you're building with AI agents, stop what you're doing and read this thread. Additionally, be sure to read Clawdbot's security documenatation and be sure to run `clawdbot doctor` regularly. Stay safe ✌️

Ah yes… @AirCanada love being bumped from my seat, then told dispute there are available seats that the “system is down” as we can’t board you today. Love missing my entire trip.

This is basically my life story.
One time at work I gave a 30min talk to a team as requested by their manager and after I was done I asked if anyone had any questions and there was one question and it was “why are you telling us this?” which pretty much serves as a shorter stand-in for all my other work stories.

The painful truth: Owning a biz that puts food on your table is easy. You aren't an entrepreneur - you own your job (or it owns you). Taking yourself out of your company and building lasting wealth is incredibly difficult. 95% fall into the first group.

Can vouch for this type of experience. We were “dog food” shamed when we tried to adopt once.
I applied for a dog today. This is the story in four parts. I’m actually speechless.
Also normalize replacing replacing meetings with asynchronous comms.
Normalize 15 minute calls.

Choosing WHAT you work on is 10x as important as how hard you work.

32 years ago today, the nation was rocked by the terrorist plot underway at Nakatomi Plaza. Thanks to the bravery of Officer John McClane and Sgt Al Powell, the terrorists were stopped and we celebrate their story every Christmas.

Wut.
Japan has been holding precision walking competitions since 1966. Mesmerizing.

Guilty of a fees of these every now and again... such a good gut check to ask yourself if anything on your beam falls into one of these categories everyday....
Things that keep talented people from fulfilling their potential: - Trying to please everyone - Imitating the desires of others - Chasing status without questioning why - Playing superhero and trying to do it all alone - Dividing attention between too many projects What else?
And for that reason....
I miss when the internet had this much soul.
