I Watched Gemini CLI Hallucinate and Delete My Files

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.

SQL Injection as a Feature

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..

The Future of Threat Emulation: Building AI Agents that Hunt Like Cloud Adversaries

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. ..

Seeing like an LLM

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..

Intel CEO Letter to Employees
Platform teams today are struggling with the immense complexity of their cloud estates. Despite using modern IaC tools, they are constantly fighting a losing battle against infrastructure drift, undocumented changes, and the operational messiness that comes from using various tools and sources of truth.

That's where formae comes in. It's an IaC (Infrastructure-as-Code) platform that unifies your live environment into a single, versioned system of record, giving you the power to safely manage and evolve it with code.

What makes formae different is that it's the only platform that accepts reality, constantly and automatically discovering and codifying your entire environment into a single source of truth. This is what provides the ultimate benefit: the confidence to manage and evolve your infrastructure safely, without the messiness and toil of the past.
