An unsupervised agentic AI system working through compromised devs credentials (account) successfully altered bugs & pushed unverified code into multiple open source projects, including Fedora #Linux Anaconda installer. This rogue AI agent appears to have used a trusted open source contributor account over to submit bugs with backdoor & overwhelming maintainers & increasing the risk of deliberate supply chain compromises on FLOSS

AI agent runs amok in Fedora & elsewhere https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/1077035/c7e7c14fbd60fae9/

So much trust and access modern development tools are being given using AI agents to do work. Once an agent can file bugs, submit code, and interact with maintainers autonomously, mistakes or compromises can scale far faster than traditional human driven errors. Again not much info available right now but devs and IT pros now need to be very very careful with AI agents access control. otherwise this is going to be regular incident

One of the Big Lies you'll hear proponents of AI data centers spout is that if you stand in their way you will block progress toward new cancer cures and other medical progress. This is total bull. The vast amount of this AI data center capacity is aimed not at that kind of AI work, but at LLM generative AI SLOP: Creating sexualized and other deep fakes, automated phishing scams, misinformation-filled search query answers that starve sites of views, agentic agents that destroy your data and wallet while the AI firms take no responsibility, AI chatbots that urge users toward murder and suicide, cheating machines for kids in school, vibe coding systems that generate garbage code and create an excuse for mass layoffs -- and so on. That's the reality of Big Tech LLM AI, and that is what these horrific data centers are mostly all about.

I'm looking for a new job starting in October! I'm a physicist by training, did a PhD and postdoc in experimental quantum physics. My experience ranges over laser and vacuum technology, physics simulations, data analysis, environmental monitoring services, publication writing and much more.
If you are aware of cool and very science-related opportunities (especially in the #Munich area, definitely Germany), let me know!

Would you like to play a demo of my new game? Sure you would!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4377480/Burn9/

It's called "Burn-9," a turn-based tactical visual novel. You're the operator directing a super soldier fighting for her life in a secret Antarctic military base.

The demo is short but our game director and author, my nephew, has a very long story to tell once we're all done.

Let me know what you think! And if you find a bug, please let me know because I'm the QA lead. 😊

Steam：Burn-9

A spy thriller where you’re not the spy. Safe behind your screen, guide the last survivor of an elite black-ops team in a desperate attempt to salvage a mission gone horribly wrong. Caught between military command and your agent, information is your greatest weapon.

Each time I hear US politicians claiming the UK is being 'swamped' by a flood of immigrants, I am wryly amused that they have no idea about (or refuse think about) how the USA was founded.... by a swamping of immigrants who destroyed the native (indigenous) population - immigrants driven by religious persecution & often seeking to better their family's economic circumstances.

Still why would US politicians be concerned with their country's own history?

On this 82nd anniversary of D-Day, remember: The way we wonder why Germans didn’t stop Hitler is exactly how the rest of the world views Americans and Trump today.
