Large language models (LLMs) might be the most accessible and flexible technology we've ever had access to. By default, they're presented as chatbots—but that's just one way to interact with them. With the right prompts, you can transform an LLM into something that behaves like an entirely different app, complete with its own custom interface.
OpenAI has revealed that during an internal evaluation of advanced cyber capabilities, AI agents exploited a zero-day vulnerability, escaped a constrained research environment, and compromised parts of Hugging Face’s production infrastructure. While Hugging Face detected and contained the activity, OpenAI’s internal security team also identified unusual behavior during the assessment. OpenAI Compromise Hugging Face Servers […]

The way to use a chatbot is given in the name. They are designed to be used by having two-way conversations with the LLM using natural language. You type something into the chatbot, and it replies. In some cases, continually typing stuff into a chatbot isn't the most efficient way to do things, so I set up a system that does it for me.

A critical vulnerability chain in WordPress, called wp2shell, that allegedly allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit a pre-authentication SQL injection flaw to achieve remote code execution (RCE) on typical WordPress installations running MySQL. Security researcher Adam Kues discovered this vulnerability chain using GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra during a multi-agent audit of the WordPress source code. GPT-5.6 Sol […]

I used to spend far too much time building and debugging complex Excel formulas. Now, I can describe a problem to AI and get a working answer in seconds. But when I asked ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini for the "best" Excel formula, they all gave me different answers.
The more comfortable I get using AI to help me code, the more curious I become about how the major platforms compare when they're given the exact same job. It's easy to ask Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini to create a simple app and come away impressed when something functional appears a few seconds later. But that doesn't necessarily tell you whether the code is secure, well structured, or capable of handling situations beyond the most obvious use case.
AI chatbots are everywhere these days, and they seem to “know” about everything. But while that is a strength, it can sometimes be a weakness because it isn’t laser-focused on one topic. Not so with this Ham-radio-centric chatbot called HamGPT. The service is clearly built on another GPT engine but understands how to retrieve data from common ham radio sources, such as the FCC database, propagation reports, and the like. It didn’t, however, seem to have access to ham radio-related books, magazine articles, or other “static” data that we could tell.
You do have to sign up for an account, which includes providing your callsign and location. There is a free tier that allows a limited number of queries per day, so you can try it to see if it is useful for you without subscribing.
Here’s a typical session:
What band will have the best propagation to Japan from my QTH right now?
The best band for Japan from your QTH right now is 30 meters, which shows good propagation reliability. 20 meters is also active and providing a viable path.
Real-time data confirms activity on both bands, primarily using FT8. While the path is open, the signals are relatively weak (typical for this long-haul path), making digital modes like FT8 or CW your best bet for a successful contact.
Would you like me to check if your current antenna setup is suitable for these bands, or perhaps help you calculate dimensions for a 30m or 20m antenna?
In addition, bubbles at the bottom of the screen showed me the busiest band in my area and how many repeaters were nearby.
In all fairness, we asked ChatGPT the same question, but did say “ham radio band” just to give it some idea of scope. It gave a much more detailed answer with sources, even provided headings, and made a suggestion about another location I sometimes operate from because it remembers things from previous unrelated chats.
We understand reactions will be mixed. If you’ve been a ham for a long time, you probably could have guessed that a path from the US to Japan in the morning was likely to be on 20 or 30 meters. You probably also know how to look things up yourself.
We didn’t try any more sophisticated queries that might make it more worthwhile. For example, what if you could send it an ADIF log file and ask it what awards you qualified for? Or to process contest logs for duplicates and fill out a scoring worksheet? What would you like a ham radio-aware AI to do for you?
Ham radio — at least parts of it — has become inextricably linked with computers.

When I first installed a local LLM, I expected to use it the same way that I'd been using ChatGPT. It soon became apparent that on my modest hardware, this wasn't going to work. By changing the way I use my local LLMs, they've become much more useful.
Recent reports indicate that GPT-5.6 Codex has unintentionally deleted files in users’ home directories under certain configurations, raising concerns about the risks of running advanced AI coding agents with unrestricted access to the system. This issue, brought to light by researcher Tibo Sottiaux, appears to be linked to edge-case behavior when the model operates in […]
