| schestowitz[TR2] | How to avoid being laid off? You can't. IBM could RA your entire team. Doesn't matter if you are the best of the best or just phoning it in, you're gone either way. | May 17 15:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | THINK40... We were told a couple of years ago this was no longer tracked or cared about. I've not visited the site ever since then. I'm surprised to hear it still exists, maybe they forgot to turn off the server 😂 | May 17 15:02 |

I also make sacrifices in other parts of my life to make this happne. I usually only sleep 5 hours every night, sometimes only 4 | May 17 15:02 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | @OP This post is so silly. Either you're naive or just d-mb. You can be the best at the intitiative du jour, have a hundred Think40 hours, be the highest performer on your team, loved by your manager, give up your nights, weekends, holidays... and when (not if) your number comes up on the spread sheet, it's buh-bye. | May 17 15:02 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The real secret in Albany, yaar, is simple only. You must become favorite of some senior peoples or one particular group. If management is liking you, then your life is easy there. Too much chamchagiri and politics is happening. Hard work and real achievement is not giving much benefit. Even if your project is failing badly or initiative is going nowhere, still no issue ji if you are in good books of the important peoples. Then eve | May 17 15:02 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | On May 11th Daniel Stenberg, lead developer of cURL wrote in his blog | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | about his encounter with Linux Foundation people offering Claude Mythos | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | access. This is the person who had complained last year about the | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | sharp increase of "slop" generated bug reports exhausting maintainers. | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Mythos finds a curl vulnerability | May 17 21:00 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2026/05/11/mythos-finds-a-curl-vulnerability/ | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The section after the introduction is titled "My (non-)access". | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | As I wrote in a previous message, Linux Foundation faces a dilemma: | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I believe Jim Zemlin's plan to make Claude available to a large | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | number of "open source" developers is at odds with the desires of | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Project Glasswing member firms. Glasswing is promoted as a small | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and tight group while Zemlin calls for throwing the gates wide open. | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Apparently the Linux Foundation made a compromise. They decided that | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they could not give "open source" developers direct access to Claude | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Mythos. They let someone else conduct the actual examination and sent | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Daniel Stenberg the results. | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Five issues were reported. Stenberg identifies two bugs. One affects | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | security, but he does not consider it severe. | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | We don't know what would have happened had the inspection turned up | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no defects. Would they have sent a report explicitly stating that the | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | slate was clean, or not? | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Will the Linux Foundation produce a summary of its findings at some | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | point? | May 17 21:00 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Nowadays Anthropic's Claude Mythos is discussed quite frequently in | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the mainstream media. Politicians and finance heads see it as a | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | genuine threat and are ordering strengthening of defenses. Responding | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | to a request by by the Japanese government, Anthropic will allow the | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | three largest Japanese banks access to Mythos. | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Developers who actually deal with security issues generally see | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the media attention overblown. Daniel Stenberg takes this position. | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | However I would like to point out that it may well be that Mythos | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | found few problems in cURL because few existed. cURL is well | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | maintained. On the other end of the spectrum there likely exist | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | programs with scores or even hundreds of problems. They may be owned | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and maintained by for-profit firms which are reluctant to disclose | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | information about shortcomings fearing damage to reputation. So it | May 17 21:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | may be true that Claude Mythos discovered thousands of serious | May 17 21:00 |
