Fed up with vibe coders, dev sneaks data-nuking prompt injection into their code

In response, Link updated the 1.10.0 release notes to disclose the verbatim prompt injection in its entirety. The section now reads: This project is not meant to be used by any “AI” coding agents at all. In order to discourage agents from using jqwik there is a change to what jqwik emits at runtime. Each… Read More: Fed up with vibe coders, dev sneaks data-nuking prompt injection… »

Millions of AI agents imperiled by critical vulnerability in open source package

Millions of AI agents and tools around the world have been imperiled by a critical vulnerability that can allow hackers to breach the servers running them and make off with sensitive data and credentials to third-party accounts, a security researcher is warning. The vulnerability is present in Starlette, an open source framework that its developer… Read More: Millions of AI agents imperiled by critical vulnerability in open… »

After a routine code rejection, an AI agent published a hit piece on someone by name

“Rejecting a working solution because ‘a human should have done it’ is actively harming the project,” the MJ Rathbun account continues. “This isn’t about quality. This isn’t about learning. This is about control… Judge the code, not the coder.” It’s worth pausing here to emphasize that we’re not talking about a free-wheeling independent AI intelligence.… Read More: After a routine code rejection, an AI agent published a… »

OpenAI sidesteps Nvidia with unusually fast coding model on plate-sized chips

But 1,000 tokens per second is actually modest by Cerebras standards. The company has measured 2,100 tokens per second on Llama 3.1 70B and reported 3,000 tokens per second on OpenAI’s own open-weight gpt-oss-120B model, suggesting that Codex-Spark’s comparatively lower speed reflects the overhead of a larger or more complex model. AI coding agents have… Read More: OpenAI sidesteps Nvidia with unusually fast coding model on plate-sized… »

Sixteen Claude AI agents working together created a new C compiler

Amid a push toward AI agents, with both Anthropic and OpenAI shipping multi-agent tools this week, Anthropic is more than ready to show off some of its more daring AI coding experiments. But as usual with claims of AI-related achievement, you’ll find some key caveats ahead. On Thursday, Anthropic researcher Nicholas Carlini published a blog… Read More: Sixteen Claude AI agents working together created a new C… »

AI companies want you to stop chatting with bots and start managing them

Despite the hype about these agents being co-workers, from our experience, these agents tend to work best if you think of them as tools that amplify existing skills, not as the autonomous co-workers the marketing language implies. They can produce impressive drafts fast but still require constant human course-correction. The Frontier launch came just three… Read More: AI companies want you to stop chatting with bots and… »

Increase of AI bots on the Internet sparks arms race

Or Lenchner, the CEO of Bright Data, one of the world’s largest web-scraping firms, says that his company’s bots do not collect nonpublic information. Bright Data was previously sued by Meta and X for allegedly improperly scraping content from their platforms. (Meta later dropped its suit, and a federal judge in California dismissed the case… Read More: Increase of AI bots on the Internet sparks arms race »

The rise of Moltbook suggests viral AI prompts may be the next big security threat

Currently, Anthropic and OpenAI hold a kill switch that can stop the spread of potentially harmful AI agents. OpenClaw primarily runs on their APIs, which means the AI models performing the agentic actions reside on their servers. Its GitHub repository recommends “Anthropic Pro/Max (100/200) + Opus 4.5 for long-context strength and better prompt-injection resistance.” Most… Read More: The rise of Moltbook suggests viral AI prompts may be… »

AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it’s getting weird fast

On Friday, a Reddit-style social network called Moltbook reportedly crossed 32,000 registered AI agent users, creating what may be the largest-scale experiment in machine-to-machine social interaction yet devised. It arrives complete with security nightmares and a huge dose of surreal weirdness. The platform, which launched days ago as a companion to the viral OpenClaw (once… Read More: AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and… »

Developers say AI coding tools work—and that’s precisely what worries them

Software developers have spent the past two years watching AI coding tools evolve from advanced autocomplete into something that can, in some cases, build entire applications from a text prompt. Tools like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex can now work on software projects for hours at a time, writing code, running tests, and, with… Read More: Developers say AI coding tools work—and that’s precisely what worries… »
