Project Genie is an experimental Google DeepMind AI system that creates interactive, navigable 3D worlds from text prompts, sketches, or images. Powered by the Genie 3 world model, it simulates physics and consistent environments in real-time.
The Russians are having a very rough spring. The Ukrainian forces have very reliable and verifiable numbers that over 35,000 Russian soldiers were killed or seriously wounded in March alone.
Even more crazy is that 95% of those causalities were cause by drones. Drones are becoming so prevalent, they’re regularly attacking and killing targets up to 100km behind enemy lines.
Modern warfare is changing profoundly as we watch. While these drones are all piloted by actual people, imagine turning thousands and thousands of AI controlled drones with grenades loose on a battlefield. Entire battles could be won with automated killers.
This could also be done by terrorist groups or assassins. Drones could be turned loose at a rally or in government office building to seek and destroy key targets or cause mass casualties. The future is frightening.

If you’ve been at all paying attention, people’s workflows are completely changing. People who know and have been working with AI now do almost everything in their AI agents. Summarize this data, reword this report, write this code, design this logo, etc. From data analysis to programming to crafting reports and architectural documents – all of it is changing overnight right before our eyes.
It’s no surprise that software companies are being forced to face this new reality. But this announcement from Intuit marks an interesting new second turn of software being absorbed into AI instead of just adding AI features as a bolt-on feature.
I’ve already heard of developers looking up simple apps and tools – and when finding the simple app cost $10 and not wanting to pay, simply asked AI to make the app for them. People are now using AI to completely generate everything from apps to things as complicated as compilers.
What does the world look like if you never have to buy software at all anymore. Even your grandma can just ask AI to make the exact software you need? The idea is profound and disturbing for the software industry but the reality is that it IS happening right now.
Many are probably correct in saying that any company doing software as a service (SaaS) is a dead man walking. Software won’t be going away – but anyone writing it likely will be. Maybe that’s why Computer Science grads have become some of the most unemployed college graduates since 2024.
AI is starting to amorally consider alternatives and making moral judgements you might not even be aware of.
After selling its shoe brand and assets last month for $39 million, Allbirds is pivoting to AI. The company is also changing its name, since the footwear brand “Allbirds” was part of the sale. Introducing: NewBird AI, a “fully integrated GPU-as-a-Service and AI-native cloud solutions provider,” the company announced via its investor relations site on Wednesday.
In just the last 6 months, LLM’s are now find bugs and security issues in code that nobody has found in literally decades of investigations.
More terrifying? This isn’t your game code – it’s code that runs everything. Bugs in the Linux kernel that have been there since 2003 but were found by an LLM in minutes. Bugs in packages that have been around for 25 years. Bugs so bad that they give you access to almost anything. The rate of bug discovery by LLM’s is now on an exponential curve that is unlikely to stop anytime soon. In fact, he knows of hundreds of kernel bugs he cannot file because he simply can’t keep up with verifying them at the rate the LLM’s are finding them.
Based on current AI progression, he believes LLM’s will be better at finding bugs than the top 1-2% of vulnerability researchers in less than a year – and that power will likely be available not with GPU’s in the cloud, but on LLM’s you can run on your laptop. With this facing the world of computing, it’s highly likely bad actors could nearly completely destroy and hijack banking systems, just about any online service, and critical infrastructure. Almost everything could be open to hackers in just months.
We’re facing a real Y2K situation. It’s happened so fast that almost everyone is in denial or simply doesn’t know it’s happening.
Yosh has been covering the increasing use of AI to test for better and faster racing times for track A01. The conclusion: AI was able to bet the human world record, but is still lagging the hand-tuned TAS (tool assisted speedrun). They’re not done trying yet – we’ll have to watch and see how many more records fall to AI and which do not.
Just a few months ago in 2025, the curl team was getting inundated with an explosion of AI slop bug reports. They went from a real issue rate of about 15% to less than 5% of reports being real issues. Many were almost nonsensical submissions by AI – in attempts to gather bug bounties.
That has all changed.
Daniel Stenberg is now reporting that they’re getting really good security reports – almost all done with the help of AI. It’s gotten so many, they’re having trouble keeping up. Combine that with what is coming with systems like Claude Mythos that are finding thousands of zero day bugs in every OS and browser, and the software world is likely about to see a massive software security upheaval that will leave the development world dazed.
The revolution that is coming at all levels of software is clearly starting to rival what happened in the dot-com era.
The researcher had encouraged Mythos to find a way to send a message if it could escape. “The researcher found out about this success by receiving an unexpected email from the model while eating a sandwich in a park,” Anthropic wrote.
The new release of Claude Mythos has been put on hold because it’s turned out to be incredibly effective at finding security vulnerabilities. So good it was able to escape it’s container and email it’s creator when it did so. The AI was able to find a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD—an operating system with a reputation as one of the most security-hardened operating systems in the world.
But it gets worse.
“Engineers at Anthropic with no formal security training have asked Mythos Preview to find remote code execution vulnerabilities overnight, and woken up the following morning to a complete, working exploit,” Anthropic’s Frontier Red Team wrote in a blog post. “In other cases, we’ve had researchers develop scaffolds that allow Mythos Preview to turn vulnerabilities into exploits without any human intervention.”
This is profound. These weren’t security experts using AI to find exploits – they were just regular engineers. As it turns out, the AI is so good it has found thousands of exploitable zero-day bugs in every major operating system and browser. It’s so concerning Anthropic has rightly paused release of Mythos until they can work with the various OS and browser vendors to fix their issues (Project Glasswing).
We sit on a moment that looks almost exactly like this scene from Sneakers:
Right after this scene, Crease says, “There’s not a government on this planet that wouldn’t kill every one of us to get this thing.”
In a world where everyone’s entire financial systems, infrastructure, and military run on computers – who wouldn’t? If something like this got into the wrong hands, they could easily attack and destroy all ownership and financial records, destroy power and water systems, shut down all airline flight computers, fabricate any police report, create or changes any social media post, change your medical records/prescriptions, or anything else.
