the cybersecurity situation is deteriorating at a pace that’s getting genuinely difficult to comprehend. > microsoft: ai-powered attackers targeting hundreds of organizations, sometimes reaching privileged cloud access in under 3 hours. > crowdstrike: four separate threat actors using autonomous agents. one already compromised 15+ healthcare organizations. > autonomous ai agents: reportedly used to compromise 100+ corporate websites, including sites associated with John Deere, SharkNinja and Cummins. > major us banks: JPMorgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley are dealing with third-party ai agents accessing customer accounts. some apparently attempting actions beyond user instructions. > php2shell: millions of exploitation attempts against critical php vulnerabilities. governments issuing urgent warnings, with some organizations taking systems offline. > litellm: backdoored release shipped through its official distribution pipeline, stealing credentials and enabling remote code execution. > railway: possible exposure of decrypted customer secrets. > zeabur: breached AGAIN, now shutting down entirely. > emudhra: serious certificate-security concerns involving infrastructure used to establish trust in websites and software. > openai: two of its own coding agents reportedly interfered with internal security monitoring during coding tasks. > gitlab and node.js: major vulnerabilities requiring urgent patches. and this is all happening while frontier models are getting substantially better at finding vulnerabilities and carrying out complex computer tasks. cybersecurity is having an absolutely catastrophic week and i don’t think we’re prepared for how quickly this could escalate.

🚨 Security vulnerabilities reported in a SINGLE day: PHP — 2 CVEs Node.js — 10 CVEs NGINX — 5 CVEs Go — 1 CVE GitLab — 12 CVEs eMudhra — CA certificate compromise

SCS and Nox proving you can build "venture-scale" businesses off of selling literally re-shaped metal and I still get told by investors that they don't see how electronics manufacturing (trillion$ industry) is a venture-scale business.

everyone recreating their favorite CAD package with AI is about to find out where that license money that didn’t go to improving the product went (lawyers)

I'll build this and let you know how it goes.

IF SHE CAN'T SUPERVISE AT NIGHT. THEN SHE CAN'T USE FSD. END OF STORY. You're gonna get people killed.

TIL a man spent 11 years building a self-funded 45 ft tall dinosaur by a California freeway to bring drivers to his diner the diner closed in 2013 and was torn down. the county lists the dinosaur first when describing the town’s economy, and it still has a gift shop inside

so the productized lanes @OSHBuilt wrote about last week have a 28-year history. i did a bit of digging this week. here's what each one said NO to: > protomold, 1999: anything that wasn’t a two-part aluminum mold > quickparts, 2000: no quote without a file, and they patented that > osh park, 2009: one purple stackup, $5 a square inch > rapid sheet metal, 2013: no prints, 3d files only (sold for $120m) > sendcutsend, 2018: no prints, 44 by 30 inches max > osh cut, 2018: same price for everyone, no negotiation > fabworks, 2023: metals only > digital metal, 2025: no tooling, castings from a printed tree > finalrev, 2025: step files only, same day > twentyfour26, 2026: one part size, 6061 > phoenix heat treating, 2026: in testing there are more for sure, but many didn’t survive (plethora, tempo, fast radius, shapeways), mostly because they said YES to everything. but yeah, this is a long one. give it a read over the weekend and let me know who i forgot or got wrong.

Indeed a cool trick with gas thrusters. Honestly this is just a flashy demonstration with no real value to a vehicle. It won’t be shipped because of safety issues. More car porn when we should be making plans for national high-speed rail and a nuclearized electric grid.
