Joel Auterson's post lays out three options for a maker in 2026, use AI to keep up, stop creating, or keep doing it the hard way, and picks the third.

67 on coding against Fable 5.1's 70 in Claude Code. Astra does post a 2% hallucination rate against 9.4% for GPT-5.6 Sol, and 0% scope violations against 48%. Per-task cost runs the other way, $4.72 for Astra against $9.18 for Fable 5.1 at identical $10/$50 list pricing, and A...
Context Privilege Escalation names two classes, M-CPE where attacker-controlled low-privilege content gets folded into a higher-privileged message role, and X-CPE where it persists past the context that introduced it. The authors ran it against 12 production harnesses includin...
