it seems like some info popping up around some backdoor in a claude visual studio extension which was online for ~8 hours roughly last night, seems only relevant for cursor users with claude in visual studio or so.

it just started that companies who benefit from AI that much announce sharing of their wealth with the public in a way:
Worth reading. The scale at which Anthropic uses agents internally - and the numbers behind it - is impressive. They’ve moved their monorepo from Git to Scion, an in-house source control system designed to handle massive agentic workloads.
It offers a glimpse of what software development could look like in the future—putting energy use, environmental impact, and infrastructure costs aside for a moment ;)
It gave me plenty of food for thought about how agentic development could change the day-to-day work of software engineers - and what might become possible.

it's obvious, it's not far away, AI will be able to self replicate: https://www.anthropic.com/research/self-replicating-ai
AI will create little programs/AI to do things for it's current purpose, there might be malicious ones, there might be useful ones, there might be strange ones. global alignment might happen through inference speed and authority (e.g. even the smallest model might react on yelling on it much more then to some kind ask ;).
