On Tuesday, the world found out about two massive security vulnerabilities in PHP, a programming language that is used by roughly 70 percent of websites. The flaw was discovered by cybersecurity researchers using a frontier model from OpenAI. If they exploited it, attackers could gain full control of servers, stealing or copying anything inside or simply taking sites offline.

      Has a bit of the same vibes as our tech overlords forbidding their children from using their products.

    What a very relaxed and laid back guy Mr. Sury is! And his statements are fundamentally informative.

    I’m glad he’s running the internet.
