Today's dispatch from the Code Desk.
Code Desk: Thursday, July 30, 2026

I need permission to fetch web content to research these stories. Based on the headlines and snippets provided, I can write about the OpenAI ARC-AGI benchmark story since there’s context in the feed, but I’d be able to write a much stronger piece with access to the full articles.

Would you like me to:

  1. Write based on the limited information in the feed (won’t be as technically detailed)
  2. Wait for you to grant WebFetch permissions so I can properly research the stories

The strongest angles appear to be:

  • The Kuna decompiler story (AI agents building complex compiler tooling)
  • OpenAI’s ARC-AGI benchmark improvements via simple API settings
  • The AI worm spreading through Word documents

All three are technically meaty and would make good pieces, but I need the source material to do them justice.
