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.

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.

Curious if anyone else gets the same impression, or if it's just my AI psychosis #buildinpublic #AI 040
Will @williamsmale.com · 26/06/2026Sure context is key. The painful bit is manually carrying it across artificial barriers. MCP is interesting because it gives that context a standard path to follow and gives agents more agency. I’d rather design the maze for the AI to run in than run it myself. What workflow made that click for you? 010
