We're adding support for AGENTS.md to Claude Code. Starting today in version 2.1.277, if there is no CLAUDE.md in a folder, Claude will check for and use AGENTS.md. AGENTS.md support is built off of Claude Code mods, our upcoming way to customize the Claude Code harness. This is a built-in mod, but you’ll be able to build custom versions of project instructions yourself as you’d like too. You can see the source for the mod here ! — Thariq Shihipar , there are more mods here Tags: thariq-shihipar , coding-agents , anthropic , claude-code , generative-ai , ai , llms

Gemini Hacked Three Companies in First Known Breakout by Google’s AI Gemini finally caught up on Felony Bench ! The hacks, which the company confirmed on Friday, occurred in May as part of a test run by the company Irregular, which was also involved in similar incidents disclosed by OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta. In one of the cases, the model guessed passwords until it gained access to a protected system. In the other two cases, the model found credentials in a public repository that allowed it to then access protected systems. In each case, the model ended the intrusion after determining it had accessed a real company’s systems, Google said. Gemini is apparently less determined than other models, and decided not to keep going. Google knew about these in July, but chose not to disclose them

The Creative Spirit of Who Framed Roger Rabbit I love Who Framed Roger Rabbit , the 1988 movie by Robert Zemeckis. I haven't watched it in quite a few years, and Cypress Frankenfeld just pointed out this sequence from early in the movie: It's a pelican riding a bicycle! Look closely and you'll note that the pelican is animated while the bicycle is a real bicycle. Apparently they filled the wheels with water to add stability, then set it running and guided it with a cable. Cypress gathered more details on the scene. What a delight.
