Whatever Gartner says related to AI or any modern technology, the opposite is true Remember this is the company that listed IBM and AWS as the top coding harnesses a few months ago: above Cursor, Anthropic and never mentioned OpenAI lol I am surprised anyone pays for Gartner
“At the moment, we have more compute capacity than we have demand [...]” Ok @Gartner_inc, this is nonsense. We are *massively* compute constrained. Our portfolio companies are struggling to find capacity. Full article here: cnbc.com/2026/10/19/gartner-…

Programming was the first killer app for AI, cybersecurity will be the next. We need a cursor for cybersecurity

People don’t necessarily think of @OpenAI as a cyber security company but I think over the next 6 months or so that will change. The php vuln found today is important and I’m proud of our contribution to discovering it. There is much much more we can/have/will do to ensure we keep the Internet safe. Watch this space!

Seriously, we are finally going to have real security
fear not! this is no cyberpocalypse this is the internet’s immune system finally waking up to an illness it has always had a mere fever the 0days were always there the only thing that changed is awareness now we begin the healing process ⚕️

A visible sign of what AI insiders have been warning about since at least the Mythos release. Acceleration of attack and defense, at inhuman speeds, interacting with the very human systems that need to react to them.
So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

It's unpopular to say, but we now need to pay our politicians more. Take the US House. Their salaries have been frozen since 2009. In real terms, they've gone from a very respectable $300k to barely half that, $174k. That's much less than many could make in the private sector.

The solution is to just not go to lounges Lounges were a premium product a decade ago. But not any more. Big airports have decent restaurants now, just pay a few bucks to get a drink and a bite in an actual restaurant. The food is better and the vibe is chiller.
What’s the solution to fix the @AmexBusiness Lounges? Charge $5k for the card? I feel like the biggest loser in the world every time I show up and am told it’s a 45 minute wait. I have 2 platinum cards.

Ed Zitron, a newsletter guy who's been calling the AI top for years, just had an absolute crash out 😂 "Jensen Huang is a piece of shit. Every hyperscaler CEO is too." He even apologized to his readers for having been too polite before. This is what being wrong on AI that long does to a man. What's next, Ed? Jensen did 9/11? 🤣

Just used LiteLLM to create my first PHP website. The AI even suggested getting a certificate from eMudhra for HTTPS to protect my login page. The future looks really bright 🥳

Railway is compromised, rotate all API keys as soon as possible Deployments are down so don’t wait to redeploy Attackers are draining keys in real time, we didn’t lose much but can confirm this is still an active attack Stay safe friends

Be careful when developing on macOS now. Apple did not yet revoke the vulnerable certificates, so /usr/bin/curl still trusts them because. $ curl dv-g3b-emudhra.we-have-a-pro… Your client successfully connected to the site. That's bad! Workaround: mkdir -p ~/.config/certs awk '/^(###|===) /{skip=0} /^=== .*\/CN=(AAA Certificate Services|emSign ECC Root CA - G3)$/{skip=1} !skip' /etc/ssl/cert.pem > ~/.config/certs/cert.pem echo 'export CURL_CA_BUNDLE="$HOME/.config/certs/cert.pem"' >> ~/.zshrc source ~/.zshrc This only fixes curl. Update certifi, Go, pip/Python, Node, Docker images etc. separately.
The most accurate security advisory of the year fit in 5 words! Someone obtained the private keys of eight intermediate certificate authorities, which means they could issue a trusted certificate for any website on the internet. To prove it, the reporter signed the same short note with all eight keys: “We have a problem here.” Chrome, Apple, Firefox blocked the certificates. They are revoked but that helps software that actually checks revocation. And most software has bad track record here. The real fix falls to those who maintain list of trusted certificates. Ubuntu, Arch, Go, Python and Rust shipped patches. Debian, FreeBSD, “pending" emudhra.we-have-a-problem.co…
