Building @Twing_AI Before this led engineering @TripleLiftHQ to $1.4B exit. I hopefully fix more than I break.

PSA: This week was kind of a turning point for AI and cybersecurity. Please take this weekend to do some simple cleanup for your family. Some suggestions: - Set up a password manager like 1Password and give your spouse or partner access to a shared vault. Teach them how to use it. - Update your passwords for critical stuff - your email account, your bank or financial stuff, etc. Store in your password manager and use the strongest password you can. - Use two factor auth for everything you can. SMS is not ideal although better than nothing. Google Authenticator or a passkey is better. Hardware key is safest.) - Add a sim pin to your phone. Makes it harder to sim jack. - Update your phone and your computer to the newest releases. Turn auto-updates on. - Freeze your credit - takes 5 minutes. - Get an IRS Identity Protection PIN. - If you’re using claude code or have AI agents that browse the web, they’re probably using Node.js. It’s also vulnerable. Update claude code, update node on your machine. - If you’re building stuff on your computer, ask claude or grokbot (which is connected to twitter and likely has the most current info) to audit any of your repos for vulnerabilities. Ask grok to make it a scheduled task so it can do this daily - things are moving very quickly in the space right now. - Consider some light resiliency stuff. This probably sounds silly, but it sounded silly at the beginning of covid too. Having printed out copies of important stuff - especially financial accounts. Having some cash on hand. Having some shelf-stable food and clean water or a water filter. Having a map. Having a generator that can at least power your fridge or some devices. Cheap insurance. Again, I don’t want to alarm people, but I was taught that you should have a Secure plan, a Comfortable plan, and a Wealthy plan. And it seems pretty clear the secure plan needs to now factor cybersecurity risk as a legit threat. Take a weekend and shore yourself up.

I'm sure this has been happening already but first time I'm seeing this in an open source project (github.com/cloudflare/cloudf…) Coding is easy, reviewing is not

Big fan of what @yudDIDit and team are building here. I was testing it a month ago and is a great indicator for what agent-first tools will look like
Today, @editframe emerges from stealth. Agents need video. Editframe Agent Skills: npm create @editframe@latest Just prompt Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex and get a working video or a full interactive GUI. This video was created just by prompting 👇

Short term cheap and then you deal with organizational dysfunction where everyone starts comparing their titles with others
Titles are cheap. Distribute them generously.

Idk some pretty good incentive alignment here

Avis (yes the car rental company) stock is up 600% in the last two weeks… Hedge fund called Pentwater capital triggered a massive short squeeze sending the stock from 4B > 25B in market cap. GME 2.0 but it’s organised by the suits this time lmao

1/ Directionally right. The API/MCP/CLI era is where everything is going. But agents are only as good as the data model underneath, and this is where Salesforce is going to struggle.
Welcome Salesforce Headless 360: No Browser Required! Our API is the UI. Entire Salesforce & Agentforce & Slack platforms are now exposed as APIs, MCP, & CLI. All AI agents can access data, workflows, and tasks directly in Slack, Voice, or anywhere else with Salesforce Headless 360. Faster builds, agentic everything. 🚀 #Salesforce #Agentforce #AI venturebeat.com/ai/salesforc…

7/ In this new world we're only limited by our imagination. Relying on someone else's data model kills dreams.

8/ Salesforce will get there. It's inevitable. But when the cost of building a custom solution keeps dropping, competing on "flexible but bloated" gets harder every month.

For my friends who are still using UV and might be a little weary about recent compromises to PyPi packages, stick this in your pyproject.toml. You can let all of those pip users find and report the compromises...

While some zig, others zag
Delve, a YC-backed compliance startup that raised $32 million, has been accused of systematically faking SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance reports for hundreds of clients. According to a detailed Substack investigation by DeepDelver, a leaked Google spreadsheet containing links to hundreds of confidential draft audit reports revealed that Delve generates auditor conclusions before any auditor reviews evidence, uses the same template across 99.8% of reports, and relies on Indian certification mills operating through empty US shells instead of the "US-based CPA firms" they advertise. Here's the breakdown: > 493 out of 494 leaked SOC 2 reports allegedly contain identical boilerplate text, including the same grammatical errors and nonsensical sentences, with only a company name, logo, org chart, and signature swapped in > Auditor conclusions and test procedures are reportedly pre-written in draft reports before clients even provide their company description, which would violate AICPA independence rules requiring auditors to independently design tests and form conclusions > All 259 Type II reports claim zero security incidents, zero personnel changes, zero customer terminations, and zero cyber incidents during the observation period, with identical "unable to test" conclusions across every client > Delve's "US-based auditors" are actually Accorp and Gradient, described as Indian certification mills operating through US shell entities. 99%+ of clients reportedly went through one of these two firms over the past 6 months > The platform allegedly publishes fully populated trust pages claiming vulnerability scanning, pentesting, and data recovery simulations before any compliance work has been done > Delve pre-fabricates board meeting minutes, risk assessments, security incident simulations, and employee evidence that clients can adopt with a single click, according to the author > Most "integrations" are just containers for manual screenshots with no actual API connections. The author describes the platform as a "SOC 2 template pack with a thin SaaS wrapper" > When the leak was exposed, CEO Karun Kaushik emailed clients calling the allegations "falsified claims" from an "AI-generated email" and stated no sensitive data was accessed, while the reports themselves contained private signatures and confidential architecture diagrams > Companies relying on these reports could face criminal liability under HIPAA and fines up to 4% of global revenue under GDPR for compliance violations they believed were resolved > When clients threaten to leave, Delve reportedly pairs them with an external vCISO for manual off-platform work, which the author argues proves their own platform can't deliver real compliance > Delve's sales price dropped from $15,000 to $6,000 with ISO 27001 and a penetration test thrown in when a client mentioned considering a competitor
