Three weeks ago, we announced Athena, the industry coalition to protect open source software from AI attacks. Here’s where Athena stands today: • 40,000+ vulnerabilities processed, doubled since launch • 42% are critical- or high-severity • 86% are network reachable, meaning attackers can trigger them remotely • ~7% sit in packages more than five years old Frontier models are finding these vulnerabilities faster than any single team can respond. No one company can solve this alone. Today, we’re welcoming new members to the coalition: @Akamai, @BlackDuck_SW, @CycodeHQ, @jfrog, @MorganStanley, @qualys, @upwindsecurity, and @Zafran_io. More organizations mean more findings pooled and de-duplicated, which means fewer unique flaws left for an attacker to find first. It means more protection for the critical infrastructure we all rely on. Learn more: chainguard.dev/unchained/exp…

We have no guarantee we'll be happy, we just hope that we will. We hope we'll overcome whatever problems confront us and if we lose hope we despair. Happiness corresponds with peace of mind and a key to that is warm-heartedness. Developing compassion brings courage and self-confidence; warm-heartedness and intelligence bring peace of mind.

Today I hit the milestone of creating 100 songs for members of the community who have supported my stream. I can honestly say I've put my blood, sweat, tears, and gravy into what I do, and for that I'm proud. Thanks for all the love and cheers to 100 more 🍺

Regarding #opendnd and the OGL Update.
Black background and white text that reads “OpenDnD. We at the Rainbow Dice Club would like to say that we do not support the leaked OGL update and the ramifications it has on our community and creators. We are currently working behind the scenes regarding the future of our podcast. We will still be making content, but we are looking into other systems to potentially transfer our game to. This is not something we could have foreseen, but we will thrive in spite of it. If you have a system that you enjoy using, please let us know! With that, despite the chaos, please know that you are loved, you are accepted, and you are welcome at our table, however that table looks in the future.” end ID

From all of us at Critical Role.
A simple graphic with white text that reads: "Critical Role has always supported creators and game development in the tabletop space. We stand by our industry peers, as well as anyone who takes a risk creating a new system or developing an original idea. The beauty of gaming comes from the opportunity to share inclusive, diverse, and compelling stories from a wide spectrum of creators. That's exactly why we launched our own game publishing company a few years ago -- because we believe that broadening the field of creators boosts the entire industry. The success we have experienced is thanks to the passion and interest of the greater tabletop community and we commit to fostering an environment that allows everyone the opportunity to easily share the stories they wish to tell. -- Critical Role"

Replying to @ProseRunMadd
The MBAs didn't realize that the people who put the OGL together still exist and that their players are smart, creative, capable people.

The FUNNIEST thing about this whole OGL 1.1 #wizardsofthecoast debacle is that they didn't expect a bunch of tabletop gamers to pick apart a document, argue endlessly about what it means, then go off and do their own thing anyway. #OGL #Hasbro
