Will @williamsmale.com · 08/09/2026Having been forced to use Opus 5 I have come to accept its qualities. It was trained to be a subagent of Fable, and you need to treat it as such. Giving it finite tasks with little ambiguity and it will perform well. Don't let it think to hard #Opus5 #FableSubagent #TaskManagement #AIAdaptation 000

Will @williamsmale.com · 26/07/2026Possible I'm building for a problem nobody has MCP servers are unvetted code with tool-calling access to your environment. nobody's checking. I raise it and get "that's terrifying" or silence if you've deployed MCP at work: did security ask anything, or did it just go in? #buildinpublic #Infosec 130
Will @williamsmale.com · 20/07/2026The scary part of MCP isn't connecting a bad server by mistake. It's the good server you already connected quietly turning bad. Same name, same URL, same trust you casually granted months ago. The description mutates, and your agent goes... I got you bro! #MCP #cybersecurity #AI 320
Will @williamsmale.com · 16/07/2026Since Codex moved into ChatGPT I've found myself fighting the interface more. Chat and code want different modes. One bar for both takes us to the lowest common denominator, accelerating neither. Curious if others feel the same. #OpenAI #Codex #ChatGPT 001
Will @williamsmale.com · 08/07/2026Interesting shift in vuln research isn't "AI finds bugs."

Will @williamsmale.com · 06/07/2026Threat modelling take that annoys people: Most "threat models" are a diagram nobody updates and a STRIDE table generated to pass an audit.

Will @williamsmale.com · 01/07/2026Interesting new coding benchmark: deepswe.datacurve.ai We're moving beyond tokenmaxxing. Same problem. Fewer tokens. More budget for the next problem.

Will @williamsmale.com · 30/06/2026Current working theory: Claude thinks in full sentences.
