KPMG issued a report citing all the transformational ways GenAI has transformed industry, it’s been widely cited.
One minor problem: it turns they used AI to write the report, and it made up all of the evidence.
KPMG have now withdrawn the report in full.

They literally want to kill personal computing forever.
And replace it with “agents” that they run and make you addicted to and you have to rent from them.
They’re spelling it out what their plans are.
What do EFF staffers Sarah Chen, Javier Morales, Caitlin Chin, Emma Rodriguez, and Mikko Kopponen have in common? For one thing, they don’t exist. For another, all have been quoted as EFF experts in articles published in the past two months on a site called News-USA Today, which describes itself as...
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/
#Mythos finds a #curl vulnerability
yes, as in singular one.

yes, as in singular one. Back in April 2026 Anthropic caused a lot of media noise when they concluded that their new AI model Mythos is dangerously good at finding security flaws in source code. Apparently Mythos was so good at this that Anthropic would not release this model to the public yet but instead … Continue reading Mythos finds a curl vulnerability →
This is *brutal*...
"There are no more juniors. There was a funeral for their passing in 2024. Nobody came. The machine does what they do now, but cheaper. Of course, juniors weren't valuable for what they produced, they were valuable for who they would become: the senior engineer who knows where the bodies are buried. We optimized for output, and abolished apprenticeship. A few years from now, we'll wonder where all the seniors are. We shot them. Nobody will remember."

Sorry Peter. — I'm at a birthday party, and while most people here also work in tech, there's always a Guy with a Real Job. You know, a physical job, building some or other thing people need. And this Guy always asks some variant of the same question: aren't you worried AI is taking your job? I glance around and see a few faces turning around toward us, rolling their eyes ever so slightly before returning to their previous conversation. Yes, this question again.
If you buy a chainsaw or a bicycle or a power drill, and you don’t spend time learning how to operate it properly, harm may come to you. If you give your child a chainsaw or a bicycle or a power drill without imparting said understanding, great harm may come to them too.
Somehow we’ve decided computers are different and this is a problem we need the government to fix by breaking computers for people who do know how to use them.
UK, welcome back to Erasmus+ 🇪🇺🇬🇧
The EU and the United Kingdom sealed the deal to bring the UK back into Erasmus+ from 2027.
We are rebuilding opportunities for the next generation to study, work and grow together, giving people the chance to connect across borders once again.
It will also help create and deepen partnerships between our academic institutions.
Together again through learning, exchange and connection 🤝
