Artificial Stupidity

Pixy Misa has an AI Update. Daily News Stuff 7 April 2026: The Command Line Cometh Edition

A critical security vulnerability has been discovered in the leaked version of Claude Code. (Adversa)

If you've used Claude Code, you've noticed that it loves running shell commands to examine your codebase, rather than, say, reading it. Or having simple fixed-function code built into the software to do it on your computer.

This has to do with Claude taking full control of your PC, because of course it would. They have the corrected code - it is IN the leaked source - they just are not using it.

Can you talk about AI without mentioning OpenAI?

OpenAI is once again calling for public funds to clean up the mess it is creating. (Business Insider)

The best time for a Butlerian Jihad is now.

If you don't recognize that reference to "Butlerian Jihad," it is from the novel Dune.
