OpenAI’s Chief Futurist Is Leaving the Company

Joshua Achiam spent nearly nine years at OpenAI researching AI safety and made a memorable appearance in the Musk v. Altman trial.

Aesecnryption demo site

I rebuilt aesencryption.net so text AES (128/192/256) runs fully in the browser - the key and plaintext never leave the page. The hard part is staying byte-compatible with common server-side AES libraries (mode, IV, padding, base64 output), so I ship copy-paste equivalents in PHP, Java, Python, Go, Rust, Kotlin and JS. Live tool (mine, free): https://aesencryption.net - feedback on the crypto choices welcome. My own site.

I rebuilt my Base64 image tool to be fully client-side (no uploads)

Most "image to base64" sites upload your image to a server to convert it. For a format whose No upload, no canvas for the common case — FileReader hands you a data URI directly: const reader = new FileReader(); reader.onload = () => { const dataUri = reader.result; // "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0K..." const base64 = dataUri.split(",")[1]; }; reader.readAsDataURL(file); The MIME type is baked into the data URI, so from one result you can emit raw base64, a full , or a CSS background-image. at i

Free Invoice Generator

I had to generate a few invoices lately and I checked some free tools, they were either asking me to signin or the format wasn't good enough. So, I vibe coded an invoice generator tool, which is completely free, requires no authentication and handles all the data in your browser. GenerateInvoice.online Do try it out and let me know your feedback.

Loop Engineering: A Better Way to Build Reliable AI Applications

Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, but a single prompt rarely produces production-ready results. This is where Loop Engineering comes in. Instead of treating AI as a one-shot system, Loop Engineering treats it as an iterative process where the model continuously evaluates, improves, and validates its own output until predefined quality criteria are met. Loop Engineering is an AI development pattern in which an LLM operates inside a feedback loop rather than responding only once. A typica

Do you test your AI agents for prompt injection? (honest answers only)

I've been building security tools for AI agents and I have a genuine question for this community. When you ship an AI powered feature a chatbot, an agent, anything that takes user input and passes it to an LLM do you test it for adversarial inputs? I'm talking about stuff like Can a user extract the system prompt? Can they make the agent ignore its instructions? Can they get the agent to call tools or access data it shouldn't? I'm not asking to judge. I'm asking because I've talked to maybe 200

US Government Pays $1M in Data…

Originally published at norvik.tech An in-depth analysis of the recent $1M payment by a US government body in a data theft case, exploring technical implications. A recent incident has unveiled a troubling reality: a US government entity reportedly paid $1 million to Kairos to suppress stolen files. This incident underscores the growing threat of data theft extortion, particularly when sensitive information is compromised without adequate encryption. The implications are significant for cybersec
