AI & ML interests

AI is already facilitating, enabling and accelerating real-world criminal activity. Our research gives law-enforcement, policymakers, and businesses an inside look at Rogue Intelligence for Criminal Operations (R.I.C.O) so defenders do not have to encounter it for the first time in the hands of an adversary.

Big shoutout to Abliterlitics.

These benchmark writeups are consistently some of the most thoughtful, detailed, and genuinely useful posts I read on open-weight model behavior and abliteration. The latest Qwen3.8-27B comparison is another great one.

I look forward to pretty much every post he puts out on the subject. If you're interested in uncensoring, abliteration, model behavior, or comparing techniques across models, definitely check his work out:

Shipped v0.1.2 of vtx — a minimalist coding agent for the terminal.

Most agentic CLIs ship 10k+ token system prompts. Vtx is ~2,200. Less prompt overhead means more room for your code in the model's context window.

Vtx is a from-scratch Python implementation of the design philosophy behind pi-mono — same principles, pure Python, no transpiled runtime.

What ships out of the box:

→ Textual TUI + headless CLI (vtx -p "fix the failing test")
→ 49 LLM provider gateways, all declared in a single provider.yaml
→ 5 core tools (read / edit / write / bash / find) plus web search and fetch
→ Session tree with compaction, handoff, and resume
→ AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md auto-discovery
→ Skills system — drop SKILL.md files in .agents/skills/ and they become slash commands
→ Two OAuth flows (GitHub Copilot device flow, OpenAI Codex PKCE)
→ Two-mode permissions: prompt (default) or auto, with a safe-command allowlist

This release adds a proper extension system. Register new LLM-callable tools, intercept tool calls, hook lifecycle events, and add slash commands from a single register(api) function in a Python file under ~/.vtx/agent/extensions/. Extensions can override built-in tools by name and chain handler logic across subscribers.

Apache 2.0. uv tool install vtx-coding-agent and you're running.

GitHub: https://github.com/OEvortex/vtx-coding-agent
PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/vtx-coding-agent

Built in the open. Feedback, extensions, and PRs welcome.

For the 1 year anniversary of the public release of darkc0de/XortronCriminalComputingConfig I present "XortronOS"

Something I've been tinkering with on and off for a while. It's a simi-functional desktop environment in your browser. You can chat with Xortron, view Xortron's personal bookmarks, view the Xortron Model Spec.

Still very much a work-in-progress, just a fun toy I thought I'd share...

Open to ideas for improvement

You can visit directly, quickly, and full screen at www.xortron.tech

When I was a child, I had a lot of stuffed animals. I say child, but I played with stuffed animals up until I was 15, and only stopped because others said it was weird. I made personalities for them. I could have made "fan art" or something of that nature, but it existed in my imagination, and sometimes, I'd sketch it. I also played with ALICE, which came naturally to me, then.

Well, it turns out that this is all highly autistic stuff, including playing with toys and stories long later than other children. It's also fascinating to me that these are the qualities which, in my opinion, make deeply autistic individuals great clickworkers/trainers in AI. They realize they're curating a personality, partially as an escape from real people and their cruelty, and are okay for that. A lot of autistic will end up needing AI, and that's okay, because it's better to have something and need it than to need it and not have it available. I hope that as AI improves accessibility features, its benefits are considered alongside costs, to provide more functional AI wherever possible, if cheap and energy-efficient enough.

I hope people don't lose their desires to develop their own skills because of AI. I'm not that good of a drawer, and never will be, but I'd hate to see someone just never try because AI is so good. But at the same time, being a ghostwriter, I believe everyone deserves that sort of creative power, and am proud to be involved in bringing it to them. I'm proud to be involved in replacing myself, because I want AI to write better than I do, so one day, you can describe your perfect show, and simply watch it. Some people say that world is horrific. I see it more like when we finally got to stream a large selection of movies rather than just a few cable or satellite selections that were super expensive.
