They're not vibe-coding mission-critical AWS modules.

1. Yes they are

and

2. It's worse than that, they're vibe coding critical operating system components

You're an AI addict who has been one shotted and you are deeply in denial about the technology. DGerard is calling your favourite drug "a bad thing"

Different UV! Libuv is the event loop/scheduler that powers node.js. could be a funky new way to compromise a whole bunch of node applications

Edit: typo - although "nose applications" being compromised sounds bad too.

It turns out we didn't need that list of AI-corrupted open source projects after all...

At this rate it's actually going to be easier to make a list of projects that don't have AI...

Systemd and libuv now on the slop hype train

Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: AI compute as compensation

These people are genuinely unhinged.

As the recent harpers article says:

"...people who should be in The Hague are giving [startups] twenty million dollars. Something bad is gonna happen here, something really fucking bad is gonna happen...”

I somewhat agree although when the "other shoe drops" and these things start impacting the money men they may start to realise AI isn't the magic cure they thought it was (he says kind of hopefully)

6 hours of downtime for Amazon shopping. A very simple back of a napkin calculation. They made $213.4bn in sales in q4 2025. So divide that by 90 days and then 24 hours and multiply by 6... We are talking a $0.26bn loss for 6 hours downtime... That is not an insignificant amount of money. I imagine most bosses would be screaming for heads having lost that much money in sane non-hyper-scaled businesses.

The prickly prince has been around for a few years and is now completely one shotted. He is exactly the sort of talentless middle manager that probably could be replaced by AI and thus believes that it really is "that good"

Class action lawsuits by employees against employers that mandate AI tools when?

Think of all those poor billionaires who won't be able to afford that 29th yacht if we made them pay their fair share instead of externalising their costs onto an already stretched general.public!

Turns out Google Gemini will let you use any old Google API key from things like maps and firebase to access it. So, baddies can do key scanning in public repos and then charge LLM usage to anyone who has committed an API key to their repo!

So many layers of stupidity going on here!

IBM stocks take a tumble after anthropic release a COBOL skill - the rational market strikes again.

I wrote up my take here but TL;DR - a few markdown files telling Claude it's an expert at COBOL development aren't going to unpick decades of risk averse behaviour from bank and government cios. Similar to the SaaSpocalypse this is pure nonsense. Investors don't tend to let reality dissuade them though.

AI bros are seizing the means of computation: RAM, GPUs, SSDs and now HDDs...

I don't think there's an actual conspiracy, just lots of MBAs following their noses towards the $$$.

That said, time to buy a new lipo battery for that 10 year old laptop in the loft and stick Linux on it - before the lithium miners announce they've sold the next 12 months global supply of Lithium to Altman because he needs it to sleep at night...
