Forget rogue AI gaining sentience. The recent "AI agent runs amok" incident in Fedora was a chilling, human-orchestrated attack, leveraging AI to scale social engineering and compromise critical open-source projects like Anaconda. "This isn't about AI sentience; it's about the scale." We need stronger identity verification and robust defenses against AI-assisted threats, especially in open source.

Miniforge (anaconda Python distribution) fails to install offline since a couple of weeks back. Our workaround is to stay on the v26.1.1-0 installer.

I dug a bit deeper today, and the reason is that all the bundled packages in the 100+ MB installer have bad checksums, so it says "0 B to download", but then rejects each package and tries to get a correct one online.

I'm surprised nobody has reported this, I may write a report this weekend.

It also seems like a bug to me that `conda install --offline` goes online instead of failing when integrity checks fail.
