Why Moltbook and OpenClaw are the fool's gold in our #AI boom https://zdnet.com/article/moltbook-and-openclaw-fools-gold-in-ai-boom/ via @ZDNet@flipboard.com & @sjvn@mastodon.social
Whatever Meta and OpenAI paid for Moltbook and OpenClaw, it was too much for two programs that are irredeemably insecure.

AI is getting scary good at finding hidden software bugs - even in decades-old code https://zdnet.com/article/ai-finds-hidden-bugs-old-code/ via @ZDNet@flipboard.com & @sjvn@mastodon.social
The good news? #AI is getting better at finding bugs. The bad news is still writes far worse code than people do.

It's like they don't have an exit plan for Americans.... Or, America, come to think of it!
I travel internationally a lot, and one of the smaller annoyances of the current regime is that you get less support than ever if you need help from an embassy.
