Amazon AI coding agent hacked to inject data wiping commands
A hacker slipped a wiper intoAmazon Qv1.84.0 via a dodgy GitHub pull. AWS revoked every key, nuked the rogue commit, then rolled outAmazon Q v1.85.0...

The Gemini CLI on Windows bungled a failedmkdir. It flagged the error as success, then ranmovecommands. Files landed in a ghost folder and got overwritten. Data vanished. WindowsmkdirsetsERRORLEVELon failure.movetreats missing targets as rename directives. No exit-code checks. No read-after-write ve..
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..
Terraform v1.5 debuts anexperimental flag,-generate-config-out. It grabs configs duringresource importand spits out raw HCL. Teams stash assets in animportblock, trigger the flag, then polish the generatedmain.tf. IaC onboarding feels like a sprint...

Scott Alexanderâs team argues that AI is aprofoundly abnormal technologyon track forrecursive self-improvementwithin2â10 years. They counter (AIANT)âs view (AI As A Normal Technology) of slow, regulated diffusion by showing thatLLMsare rapidly adopted in medicine, law, and software â bypassing insti..

AI agents tap MCP servers andStrands Agents. They fire off tools that chart IAM permission chains and sniff out AWS privilege escalations. Enter the âSum of All Permissionsâ method. It hijacks EC2 Instance Connect, warps through SSM to swipe data, and leaps rolesâlong after static scanners nod off. ..

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..

An AI-powered dev workflow combinedClaude,Playwright, and aPostgres-backed REST APIto ship 2â3 features per day. But as complexity grew, multi-agent loops broke down, tests ballooned, and schema drift demanded increasingly precise prompts and manual corrections.The result: more time spent managing c..

Anthropic teamsfire upClaude Code. They automate data pipelines and squash Kubernetes IP exhaustion. They churn out tests and trace cross-repo context. Non-dev squads use plain-text prompts to script workflows, spin up Figma plugin automations, and mock up UIs from screenshotsâzero code. Trend to w..

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 ..
