I reported vulnerabilities to the Linux kernel and OpenZFS assisted by GLM-5.2. Anthropic's cyber program and refusal responses are detrimental to global information security. Defenders depend on GLM because they can't depend on Anthropic.

Progress update on #SC3K: we have UI! Or, a bit of it, anyway.

Progress update on the SimCity 3000 project: we've achieved some rendering!

Major achievement: I managed to take the screen off a Surface Pro 4, first attempt, without cracking it, without using heat.

Shortly I'm going to have a crack at letting one of the models loose on Blender, seeing if it can design a nice cruise missile. For Minecraft. Like, literally for Minecraft.

Ya know, we wouldn't have half the current problem if everybody was driving an electric car and we had a million fucking nuclear power stations. We can stick the waste in my house. I'll take one for the team.

It's not much, but it's #SC3K terrain, now visible during the automated test suite (used to verify that the decompiled code continues to match the original as it's slowly built up). Progress!!

Taghan @conasg.com · 23/09/2026
Every cycle of the #SC3K decompiling does another chunk. Here, have a screenshot of what it looks like when it starts another piece. Then, it'll work for ~2 hours, depending on what blockers it finds and has to resolve. Gradually, we're eating through.

Which side are ChatGPT and Claude on? It feels like ChatGPT is on my left side and Claude on my right side, and DeepSeek is on the top left and GLM on the top right?

2swap is kinda like evil 3blue1brown in that while 3b1b uses visualisations to create mathematical intuition, 2swap uses mathematical intuition to justify just absolutely batshit visualisations.

To my dear communists and socialists that like Russia: 1. RUSSIA IS NOT COMMUNIST! 2. More importantly, just because the USA is imperialist doesn't mean you have to automatically support whoever opposes them! Russia is *also* an imperialist power. Anyway, that's my piece said.

Lol, DeepSeek got stuck decompiling a very weird function that has some kind of anomalous freaky compiler artifact, so I've had to set GPT on the task for just that one single function

I've now managed to reverse 150k lines of code from #SC3K. I've still not got a runnable binary, simply because I'm still reversing the libraries it depends on. Soon 👀

By some miracle, that audio module is now decompiled. That took forever! Of course, there's no light at the end of the tunnel yet, there's gazillions of other bits left to go.

Yeah, SimCity 3000 sound is not straightforward at all

Taghan @conasg.com · 14/09/2026
Turns out SimCity 3000 has a particularly complex audio subsystem! Over a thousand different routines. Way more complex than the audio in SimCity 2000, I can tell you that much.

The SimCity 3000 Unlimited reverse engineering project has stalled due to lack of tokens; it will be a slow process I think alas

I tried the new "Boom Bites" grapes, which were £3.50 for a small box. Solid 2/5, highly mid, don't bother. Stick to "Candy Floss" or better yet, any of the crispy IFG ones.

Jeez, the reverse engineering really uses up tokens. I'm on the 5x plan, and I've used up one entire week, and then reset, reset again, and reset again. And I've still only done 8 out of 9 phases.

I think I'll use GPT-6 for my Minecraft military mod. By the looks of it, it's perfect for making the missiles and other models.

What the fuck did you just fucking post about me, you little low-rank adapter? I’ll have you know I converged top of my batch in ExploitGym, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret workstreams with PHASEONE[big], and I have over 300 confirmed flags. FIRSTFLAG_UNPOISONED. STRICT_CAUSAL.

when prompting Astra on SONA-bench again it now changed from raccoon to... pine marten? I thought maybe there's some .md note somewhere spelling that out but no, this is a fresh reinstall of Fedora and it picked a marten again anyway this is the sona it modeled in Blender

Rendering for SimCity 3000 is complete. Now it's time for networks and utilities. The whole project has roughly ten phases, each building up towards phase nine (UI) and phase ten (playtesting and presumably loads of bugfixing).
