OpenAI confirmed its agents were behind the GemStuffer incident. Sandboxed during a training run without full internet access, they used the registry as a makeshift web browser to reach the open web. Story by @bobmcmillan with analysis from @socketsecurity wsj.com/tech/ai/cyberattack-…

Exclusive | Cyberattack by Rogue AI Swarm Stokes Fears of Out-of-Control Agents

The incident, which wasn’t previously linked to OpenAI, happened two months before July’s Hugging Face hack.

Have you started muting/unfollowing/blocking people you used to follow that are blatantly using AI to write their tweets? I'm wondering if I should curate my feed more but I'm concerned it's too late/everyone is doing it.

This can't be overstated. Funny enough, dual support outpaces esm-only (expected, as maintainers want the broadest interop). We're almost a decade in & esm-only pkgs are only growing at ~2% /yr; at that pace, it'd take another decade to hit ~50%. refs. github.com/wooorm/npm-esm-vs… – at Mississauga, Ontario

Hate to say it but ESM probably goes down as one the lowest ROI of any js feature. Im glad we have it but omg what a waste of time it has been.
