(A bit like Shopify's phase transitions in their GSD system). I have a handful of tasks that should be checked in a review. It used to be normal practice that any list in a UI needs a title. Eg "List" or "Untitled" etc. But this was always a drag, right? Naming a list just to have a group of things is extra work. But without a name it's hard to scan and find and all lists look the same. Now AI can generate titles for anything. Li…

• I am pleased to see that OpenAI’s new model is roughly on par with Gemini Flash and Opus 4.8 on prompt injection risk. Nice work! Evaluating and naming other labs turns out to be a great way to encourage them to train more aligned models. We will continue to do this until other labs pay more attention to safety. This is good for everyone and there is a lot of room left to go! We solved prompt injection in practice for Claude models about two months ago. But prompt injection is a significant security risk no matter what model you use, and it is important that the industry similarly spends more…
