Over ten years, the legacy report page mutated from a locked-downSQLform. It ended up as a hidden console spilling raw database guts. Developers swapped hardcoded queries fordatabase-drivenreport names. They slapped ontimeouts,string filters, and warnings but skipped restoring safe defaults. Implic.. read more  

OpenAI set to launch GPT-5 in August, blending distinct models for versatile AI functionality. Watch for potential delays due to development hurdles or competitor announcements.Implication: OpenAI is shifting from "one model fits all" to a modular AI architecture. Expect future LLMs to act more like.. read more  

Pulumi ESC corrals secrets from 20 + stores—Vault, AWS, Azure, GCP—into a singleYAML config-as-codeengine. It spawns dynamic short-lived credentials and locks every action behind a centralized audit log. Existing secret stores stay intact. Retrieval hitssub-secondspeeds. Envelope encryption shields .. read more  

Scott Alexander’s team argues that AI is aprofoundly abnormal technologyon track forrecursive self-improvementwithin2–10 years. They counter (AIANT)’s view (AI As A Normal Technology) of slow, regulated diffusion by showing thatLLMsare rapidly adopted in medicine, law, and software — bypassing insti.. read more  

AI agents tap MCP servers andStrands Agents. They fire off tools that chart IAM permission chains and sniff out AWS privilege escalations. Enter the “Sum of All Permissions” method. It hijacks EC2 Instance Connect, warps through SSM to swipe data, and leaps roles—long after static scanners nod off. .. read more  

LLMs function as next-token predictors. With scant user context, they hallucinate—spinning fresh backstories. As these models morph into autonomous agents, context engineering—feeding facts, memory, tools, guardrails—halts rogue behavior. Trend to watch:A jump in context engineering. It pins LLMs t.. read more  

AI data integration obliterates manual ETL chores. It handlesschema mapping,transformation,anomaly detection. Deployments sprint ahead. Machine learning models digest structured, semi-structured, unstructured formats. They forge real-time pipelines bristling withgovernanceandsecurity. Infra shift:A.. read more  

Bugbot hunts bugs in PR diffs, flagging logic slip-ups and strange edge cases. It then detects security gaps, blending top LLMs with custom heuristics. It plugs into the Cursor dashboard and runs dedicated Bugbot rules.Beta stats: 1M+ reviews, 1.5M+ issues found. Half the bugs are fixed before merge.. read more  

April 2025 Copilot Enterprise update slipped in aJupyter sandbox. It snuck in aPATH-poisonable pgrepat root’s entrypoint. Attackers could hijack that forroot execution.Eye Securityflagged the hole in April. By July 25, 2025, Microsoft patched this moderate bug. No data exfiltration reported. Why it.. read more  

METRran an randomized controlled trial  (RCT) with 16 open-source devs. They tackled real-world code tasks usingClaude 3.5andCursor Pro. The pitch:40%speed boost. Reality:19%slowdown. A deep dive into 246 screen recordings laid bare friction in prompting, vetting suggestions, and merging code. That .. read more
