TechCrunch: Microsoft under fire for threatening security researcher with criminal investigation. “After a security researcher published a series of unpatched bugs in Microsoft products, along with code to exploit them, the company is now threatening to take legal action and call the cops on them.”

MakeUseOf: I asked Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT to debug the same Python error, and only two explained what actually broke. “It feels like it has gotten so common to ask an AI to fix your mistakes since it’s easier than debugging.

TechCrunch: For open source programs, AI coding tools are a mixed blessing. “Earlier this month, developer Mitchell Hashimoto launched a system that would limit GitHub contributions to ‘vouched’ users, effectively closing the open-door policy for open source software. As Hashimoto put it in the announcement, ‘AI eliminated the natural barrier to entry that let OSS projects trust by default.'”

The Register: Curl shutters bug bounty program to remove incentive for submitting AI slop. “The maintainer of popular open-source data transfer tool cURL has ended the project’s bug bounty program after maintainers struggled to assess a flood of AI-generated contributions.”
