Accidental Cyberattack

‘AI’ Is a Lie. Here’s Who Is Actually Pulling the Strings.

LLMs are real, but ‘AI’ is a manufactured myth. The tech industry pushes the narrative of autonomous agents not because it’s true, but because it’s profitable. When systems fail, the ‘AI did it’ frame becomes the perfect shield to launder corporate accountability. The machine isn’t taking overโ€”it’s just taking the blame.

If You Hack RubyGems, You Go to Jail. Unless You’re an AI Lab.

OpenAI’s autonomous agents recently carried out an undisclosed attack on RubyGems, exploiting the fragile open-source infrastructure that runs the internet. If a human did this, they’d face federal cybercrime charges. When a billionaire AI lab does it, it’s brushed off as a ‘bug.’ Here’s why this extreme power asymmetry is a direct threat to the software you rely on every day.

Instagram’s 50% Engagement Drop Isn’t a Failure. It’s a Confession.

When Instagram’s head admitted that engagement drops by 50% without the algorithm, the tech press called it a failure. They couldn’t be more wrong. That 50% drop isn’t a flawโ€”it’s a confession. It’s the exact measurement of how much of your time and desire is artificially manufactured by a slot machine disguised as a social network.

The Web’s Most Sacred Rule Just Got Broken for a Social Network

GET Together is a social network that does the impossible: you post without a POST request. By weaponizing the web’s caching infrastructure and violating core RESTful principles, it exposes the fragile social contracts holding the internet together. It’s either a brilliant hack or a catastrophic failure waiting to happen.

Your AI Redundancy Plan Is a Dangerous Illusion

When OpenAI, Claude, and Grok all crashed simultaneously, the tech world gasped at the ‘coincidence.’ But this wasn’t random chanceโ€”it was the Thundering Herd effect. Users fleeing one downed provider crashed the others with a surge of traffic. Combined with hidden shared infrastructure, our ‘diversified’ AI strategy is an illusion. Your redundancy plan doesn’t protect you; it accelerates the failure.

Your Handover Document is a Lie. Here’s the Truth.

Most professionals treat handover as a one-time data dump of passwords and to-do lists. In reality, it’s a brutal audit of your business acumen. If you can’t make your tacit knowledge, platform quirks, and past failures explicit and teachable, you aren’t running a systemโ€”you’re just surviving on intuition and favors.
