Opus 4.7 finally figured out how to get my Logitech mouse paired with the receiver properly, which 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 could not do lol.
replyI asked Claude Opus 4.5 to start trying to find undocumented API stuff for our endpoint management software so I could automate remediations and cut service desk calls and it found two I haven't seen before after trying for an hour. Since it's written in .net I'm fairly sure I could have told it to decompile it and find more fairly easily too.
replyI am not sure "fun" is the right term here!
replyof all the benign technical possibilities this is actually pretty fun
replyI'm not sure I see "an AI can find insecure unknown bluetooth devices and compromise them" as entirely benign. I shiver to think how many such devices are probably in my house.
replyI'm not sure I'd use "compromise" at all - these (or the ones I have) are purposefully designed with zero authentication or pairing, the ones that use apps are already "compromised" in the sense that I can walk past any windowsill with one in it, open it, and it will immediately connect to it. I really don't mind if someone walking by were to change the LED color patterns
replywith LLMs able to pump out surplus code for anyone I really think the future of a dystopian sci-fi where you carry a device that can hack random objects around you is starting to materialize
