Hey folks, this is a big deal, so listen up! The #NSA issued an urgent warning this morning over two critical #PHP #security flaws that could put websites all over the world at risk. You already know that PHP-powered #WordPress instances account for over 40% of the web and PHP sites in general represent as many as 70% of websites on the #Internet. Organizations have been urged to take their affected systems offline if they cannot be immediately patched/secured. We’re looking at CVE-2026-109618 & CVE-2026-109619 that allow unauthenticated remote code execution in PHP. As you might imagine, outages are being reported all over the globe.

Another thing we talked about, the telco industry’s greatest undermining of itself is the constant, serial investment and focus on tech hype distractions. The industry needs a better attitude and discipline.

Had a great conversation over drinks here in Plano. We coined a new term. “Kinetic Stupidity.” It’s when you agentic AI acts on the illusion of artificial stupidity. It happens. I will happen more. Welcome to the era of AI slop. 2026 is truly the year of AI slop.

It’s funny to see AI pundits and bros get nervous. Firstly, it’s not AI you are nervous about. It is GenAI. “AI” was appropriated by the GenAI bros with the first market dump two years ago. You might have not noticed. I did. When the bubble pops, you will have no credibility.
