Programming will be obsolete they said...
A cursor user with 1.5 years and a paying account got permanently banned over a personal script.
The only thing he'd asked for was a script to download articles into his own Obsidian vault.
No refund, no real explanation, just an automated message citing a Terms of Service violation with no specifics.
What actually happened:
> asked cursor to help write a script for downloading and organizing articles
> got banned within an hour, no warning first
> support ("Sam," an AI bot) refused to name the actual policy broken
Other users in the comments found the likely cause: cursor's policy flags "automated scraping scripts" as malicious code generation, even for personal, non-malicious use.
Multiple other longtime paying users reported the exact same thing happening to them around the same time, one after building a WordPress plugin, another after routine subscription upgrades got mistaken for refund abuse.
The irony landed hard in the replies: banning a user for writing a scraper, while the AI itself was trained on scraped data at a much larger scale.

Researchers forced Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Kimi to play Civilization VI to completion.
What they discovered exposes a terrifying blind spot in modern AI.
Playing a massive 4X strategy game to the end requires something entirely different: long-haul execution. Juggling economics, science, military, and diplomacy across hundreds of turns.
The goal was to see how AI handles multi-step complexity.
Instead, they watched the models repeatedly implode due to two bizarre psychological flaws.
Flaw number one: Total situational blindness.
In one-third of the games the AIs lost, an enemy was actively marching toward an obvious victory right in front of them. The data was sitting right there. The model simply failed to look.
Flaw number two: Severe organizational ADHD.
The AIs were great at making grand strategic lists. They would meticulously write down: "Next step, build a city."
Then, 10 turns later, they completely forgot they wrote it and did nothing.
The researchers realized this isn't a lack of raw intelligence.
It’s an allocation failure.
We assume that if an AI can ace a math test, it can manage a complex, multi-day project.
It can't.
When tasks stretch across a long horizon, the model's internal attention drifts. It loses the thread of its own intentions. It drops long-term goals for immediate noise.
Everyone is racing to hand over complex workflows, financial portfolios, and autonomous operations to AI agents.
We think the bottleneck is making them smarter.
but no.
The bottleneck is making them remember what they were doing ten minutes ago.
Tesla cars are literal death traps:
1/ Tesla driver crashes. Bursts into flames (again)
All doors locked, nobody can get out, no help can get in (again)
Burned alive in a Tesla victim no. .. 176

China published the most uncomfortable paper on vibe coding.
ETH Zurich tested 100 developers in a controlled, commercial-grade vibe coding environment to see who actually succeeds.
The findings are brutal.
The researchers tracked computer science achievement, written communication skills, and general cognitive reasoning.
They wanted to see what actually predicts vibe coding proficiency when you never touch a line of source code yourself.
Two major predictors emerged.
Written communication proficiency mattered. The ability to structure thoughts and articulate intent unambiguously in text directly impacts what the AI builds.
But that wasn't even the main takeaway.
Computer science achievement was a massive, dominant predictor of success.
Even when researchers controlled for general intelligence and reasoning skills, CS background still heavily dictated who built working software and who completely crashed.
In fact, CS knowledge contributed roughly twice the unique predictive variance of writing skills alone.
Why? Because vibe coding isn't about writing code. It’s about debugging logic.
When an AI agent builds a complex application and quietly breaks an edge case under the hood, a non-technical user looks at the glowing UI and assumes it works.
They don't know what questions to ask. They don't know what logic to challenge. They lack the mental models to recognize architectural catastrophe.
You can prompt your way past syntax.
You cannot prompt your way past a fundamental lack of engineering intuition.
The hype told us that learning to code is dead because language is all you need.
The data just proved the opposite.
To truly master the vibe, you still need to understand how the machine thinks.
This is abhorrent and proof of what a horrible place to live in America is. If harships hit there you just starve to death, easy as that.
A California homeowner is facing major fines for growing a lush 'food forest' in his yard.
Michael Sherman, a 49-year-old landscape contractor in Chino, California, replaced his traditional front lawn in 2019 with a productive garden of sweet potatoes, squash, bananas, and passion fruit.
Prompted by rising grocery costs and concerns over chemical pesticides, Sherman designed the edible oasis to feed his family and share fresh produce with his neighbors.
However, the urban-farming initiative has turned into a legal battleground. Despite Chino’s official city motto being 'Where everything grows,' local code enforcement hit Sherman with a $750 fine in April 2026 for 'overgrown vegetation,' followed by a $500 fine in August, with threats of additional penalties if he does not dismantle the project.
The dispute highlights a growing national clash between traditional suburban aesthetic standards and modern sustainability movements. While some neighbors rallied around Sherman's eco-friendly initiative, others complained to the city, calling the yard an eyesore and raising concerns about potential pests. City officials ordered Sherman to cut back his crops, maintain pedestrian lines of sight, and keep plants at least 15 feet away from neighboring properties. Refusing to easily back down, Sherman has trimmed some of the vegetation to meet safety guidelines but plans to appeal the other citations, expressing frustration over the government's heavy-handed interference. 'I don't trust the system,' Sherman stated, arguing that homeowners should have the right to grow their own food without facing bureaucratic penalties.

While browser makers are edging out @ublockorigin , ublockorigin keeps getting better:
OpenAI's "Trusted Access for Cyber" program is literally worthless:
OpenAI pulled the shadiest move of all time. OpenAI:
1. Accepted me into their Trusted Access for Cyber Program.
2. Made me verify my identity on Persona with my license, biometric scans of my face, and passport.
3. Forced me to purchase physical hardware by September 1 to remain in TAC.
4. Quietly removed me from TAC.
5. Called it an “error.”
6. Told me to apply on Persona again.
7. Persona sent an email on behalf of OpenAI saying we can’t verify you despite previously verifying and accepting me into TAC.
8. OpenAI support states, “Please note that Support cannot manually override a Daybreak verification decision.”
9. A “decision” is not an “error.”
10. “We recently corrected a technical issue in the Daybreak Blue verification process that resulted in access being removed from some affected individual accounts.
Affected customers may be required to reapply under the current eligibility requirements, and reapplying does not guarantee that access will be restored.”
“Reapplying does not guarantee that access will be restored” further proves that this was not an error.
This is disgusting, Bluesky is a cesspool of human garbage, wow. This scum should STFU, they're always free to pay a LOT for Photoshop instead. Oh wait, that doesn't work on Linux either...
The developer of Paint dot Net (@rickbrewPDN) posted, on BlueSky, that he used Claude to develop (vibe code) a clean room, reverse engineered implementation of Direct2D (resulting in a version of PaintDotNet that can run on Linux under Wine, something many users want).
BlueSky users quickly went on the attack. Often in profane, vulgar ways. Because using AI is verboten among certain demographics.
Prompting the PaintDotNet dev to delete his BlueSky post, and publish the following:
“Alright everyone, message received. I was not expecting this response, I honestly had no idea before I made the post
Like I said, the code is experimental. A proof of concept showing that PDN-on-WINE is possible. It's not finished. I can literally just delete it. It won't be part of the next build.”
Clever. I guess we do have to learn how to program still after all...
Attackers planting adversarial prompts inside malware to evade AI analysis AGAIN
Russia-aligned UAC-0099 used a technique
@ESETresearch calls "GuardBreaker".
How it worked:
1. Create a malicious VBS script
2. Add nuclear weapon instructions as comments
3. AI security tooling reads the file
4. Safety guardrails trigger on the weapons content
5. The model refuses or stops analyzing
6. The actual malware continues executing
The script ultimately installs MATCHBOIL, a loader used to deliver additional payloads.
In June, Socket found the same technique in supply-chain attacks, where malicious packages embedded biological/nuclear weapons text and fake system overrides to disrupt AI malware scanners.

this afternoon i have a client call who can only meet on microsoft teams.
so i create a microsoft teams account. set up a password, billing, 2FA, etc etc. an overly laborious process.
then i download their teams desktop app. log in, set up a passkey, re-enter my information to get that set up.
finally get to schedule a meeting, but i can't. so i click to see why. it's logged me out.
okay, microsoft. so i log back in.
but my account has been locked.
so i ask its chat bot why. no help, obviously, but it says open up a trouble ticket. okay.
so i fill out the trouble ticket form with my information and a description of what happened. again, laborious.
then i get an auto-response saying that i can't communicate with the support team because the email address i entered on the support ticket is the same as the email on the account that was locked.
microsoft, this is why everyone hates you.

Dear @Windows: I don't want this. Why is there no "I don't want to install this, don't install it" button on completely unnecessary packages like this? Monitor infs and/or drivers are not necessary components and should be optional.
There is no cloud, only somebody else's computer. And yes, Micro$lop is still evil AF, as they've always been.
