jawbreaker.ioBrave New World: How Anthropic's Claude Chatbot is Redefining AI Search with Brave Search IntegrationLooks like Anthropic is stepping up its game! The AI firm recently rolled out a web search feature for its Claude chatbot, but the real surprise? It appears to be powered by Brave Search. This was first spotted by sharp-eyed software engineer Antonio Zugaldia, who noticed "Brave Search" listed among Anthropic’s official data processors. Meanwhile, British programmer Simon Willison found matching citations between Brave and Claude’s responses, further confirming the connection. While AI firms often keep their search engine partners under wraps—OpenAI, for example, combines Bing with other undisclosed sources—Anthropic might be quietly relying on Brave to...2025-03-2301 min
Talking Postgres with Claire GiordanoWhy Python developers just use Postgres with Dawn WagesWhen I found out that Django developer and Python Software Foundation chair Dawn Wages has a chapter in her upcoming Domain-Driven Django book called “Just Use Postgres”, I knew we had to get her on the show. In this episode of Talking Postgres with Claire Giordano, Dawn breaks down why so many Python and Django developers have such an affinity for Postgres. And we dive into the Djangonaut Space mentoring program (where contributors launch), learn why “free as in puppies” beats “free as in cake” for open source vibes, and dig into why Python is the second-best language for everything.2025-03-141h 00
What A Lot Of Things: Tech talk from a human perspectiveIs Testing Dead? and The Younger Generation (of open source maintainers) These Days!In Episode 28, Ian and Ash wade into the treacherous waters of AI-generated testing strategies, with Ian demonstrating how LLMs can now create comprehensive (but perhaps suspiciously mundane) test documentation with just a few commands. The pair debate whether testers should fear for their jobs or simply laugh at AI's confident yet risk-blind approach to testing. Meanwhile, Ash ponders the BBC's hand-wringing over the future of open source software, questioning whether the current gatekeepers might need to stop finger-wagging at younger developers and instead create more welcoming environments for volunteers.Between discussions of 960Mbps internet connections, mind flayers...2025-02-251h 11

Talking AIs with 🦾, Multimodal Weave, Video Models mania + more AI news from this 🔥 week.Hey all, Alex here, coming to you from the (surprisingly) sunny Seattle, with just a mind-boggling week of releases. Really, just on Tuesday there was so much news already! I had to post a recap thread, something I do usually after I finish ThursdAI! From Anthropic reclaiming close-second sometimes-first AI lab position + giving Claude the wheel in the form of computer use powers, to more than 3 AI video generation updates with open source ones, to Apple updating Apple Intelligence beta, it's honestly been very hard to keep up, and again, this is literally part of my job! 2024-10-251h 56

Simon lays out what prompt injection is and why it is so difficult to mitigate. They also cover major industry players (OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, Google), and the common mistake of confusing moderation, in the sense of not letting the model say bad things, with security, not letting an attack trigger the model into performing an action that leaks private data or triggers tools in the wrong way.
