NEW: @derekbjohnson.bsky.social spoke with @anthropic.com's threat intel team about Thursday's report. Lots in there, but one key takeaway: Despite being labeled as 'autonomous,' there was a tremendous amount of human effort needed to pull off the attacks. cyberscoop.com/anthropic-ai...
![However, Klein also made it clear that “most autonomous” is a relative term. There is plenty of evidence to indicate this hacking group devoted significant human and technical resources into the way it used Claude.
Namely, the automation detailed in Anthropic’s report performed by Claude was made possible through a frontend framework designed to orchestrate and support its operations. The framework handled tasks such as scripting, provisioning related servers, and significant backend development to ensure every step was followed correctly. Klein noted this development process was the most difficult — and, importantly, human-led — step in the operation.
“The first part that is not autonomous is building the framework, so you needed a human being to put this all together,” Klein said. “You had a human operator that would put in a target, they would click a button and then use this framework that was created [ahead of time]. The hardest part of this entire system was building this framework, that’s what was human intensive.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pz7u4quefs7ajp25ujbe4xhk/bafkreibabm4oal3ub5tr7o5hnr5lsvikpf22nbnuzvach7hcec6dmwt5eu@jpeg)

Yes, Kagi's Orion browser delivers a modern WebKit browser as far back as Mojave and we do plan to enable High Sierra support as well. Just because it's hard doesn't mean it shouldn't be done 🙂

Today, we're announcing our first hosted infrastructure product: pyx, a Python-native package registry.
We think of pyx as an optimized backend for uv: it’s a package registry, but it also solves problems that go beyond the scope of a traditional "package registry".

In the Python community there are early signs on discussions on virtual threads. I have been writing about this in the past and I wanted to warm it up again in a new blog post. Maybe with free threading the time is right to kill async/await in Python :) lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/7/26/vi...
