So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

An important study that deserves to be shared as widely as possible within the English-speaking world.
Last night, our friends at the *Militarnyi* portal published an English-language article containing a technical analysis of the onboard computer from a Russian jet-powered drone—the "Geran-4."
Of the 105 components identified, 80 come from American companies; Texas Instruments alone (including components from National Semiconductor, which was acquired by TI in 2011) accounts for 58.1% of the total.
In short: this points to a systemic reliance on Western electronics in this Russian attack drone.
For this reason, we have created a separate English-language "quote tweet" with commentary, in which we have tagged @TXInstruments directly.
We would appreciate it if you could share this post. 😉
Please tag journalists, American politicians, experts, and organizations involved in sanctions and export controls in the comments.
Our experience in disseminating such investigations shows that it is crucial to bring these findings to light beyond the Ukrainian "information bubble." They need to be seen by the manufacturers themselves, as well as by journalists, analysts, sanctions experts, American policymakers, and export control specialists.
Regardless of the current policy of the White House, the United States is much more than just a single administration or a single president. They include Congress, the media, industry experts, manufacturers, and government institutions—all of whom can raise the question of how American electronics end up in Russian attack drones on such a large scale. Therefore, such revelations must continue.
@informnapalm teapawt.net/InformNapalm/status/21…
Russia calls this “domestic production.”
Yet in the Geran-4 flight controller examined by Ukrainian specialists, no Russian-made electronics were found at all. Of 105 identified components, 80 came from 🇺🇸 U.S. companies — with @TXInstruments, including components from National Semiconductor acquired by TI in 2011, accounting for 58.1%.

Elon Musk is a Nazi. Pass it on.
I hear Elon is really mad about everybody calling him a Nazi & he’s suspending accounts calling him a Nazi, so I just want to make it clear that Elon Musk is definitely a Nazi

Good morning from The Hague 🇳🇱
While Europe tries to cripple putin’s war economy with sanction after sanction, Dutch brand Spar keeps opening new supermarkets in russia.
Hundreds of stores. New openings in moscow this year. Sanctioned goods on the shelves.
@SPARInt claims they “can’t” terminate the old licensing contracts. Experts strongly disagree.
Ending the licences would:
• Stop brand misuse & normalising aggression
• Align with Dutch government policy (“unacceptable to do business in russia”)
• Be fully possible under current EU law that better protects companies against russian claims
@ThijsReuten - time to push harder on this.‼️
Dutch brands should not profit from this war.
This must stop. Pls share.
Have a great day everyone.
Keep supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦

Nearly 500,000 Russian citizens enjoyed European holidays last year.
Meanwhile, Ukrainians were dying on the battlefield.
It's time to end Schengen tourist visas for Russian tourists.
Holidays in the EU are a privilege, not a right for citizens of a country waging war on our continent.

🚨 I just read Google DeepMind’s new paper called "Intelligent AI Delegation."
And it quietly exposes why 99% of AI agents will fail in the real world.
Here’s the paper:
Most “AI agents” today aren’t agents.
They’re glorified task runners.
You give them a goal.
They break it into steps.
They call tools.
They return an output.
That’s not delegation.
That’s automation with better marketing.
Google’s paper makes a brutal point:
Delegation isn’t just splitting tasks.
It’s transferring authority, responsibility, accountability, and trust across agents dynamically.
And almost no current system does this.
Here’s what they argue real delegation actually requires:
1. Dynamic assessment
Before assigning a task, an agent must evaluate:
- Capability
- Resource availability
- Risk
- Cost
- Verifiability
- Reversibility
Not just “who has the tool?”
But: “Who should be trusted with this specific task under these constraints?”
That’s a massive shift.
2. Adaptive execution
If the delegatee underperforms…
You don’t wait for failure.
You reassign mid-execution.
Switch agents.
Escalate to a human.
Restructure the task graph.
Current agents are brittle.
Real agents need recovery logic.
3. Structural transparency
Today’s AI-to-AI delegation is opaque.
If something fails, you don’t know:
- Was it incompetence?
- Misalignment?
- Bad decomposition?
- Malicious behavior?
- Tool failure?
The paper proposes enforced auditability and verifiable completion.
In other words:
Agents must prove what they did.
Not just say they did it.
4. Trust calibration
This is huge.
Humans routinely over-trust AI.
AI agents may over-trust other agents.
Both are dangerous.
Delegation must align trust with actual capability.
Too much trust = catastrophe.
Too little trust = wasted potential.
5. Systemic resilience
This is the part nobody is talking about.
If every agent delegates to the same high-performing model…
You create a monoculture.
One failure.
System-wide collapse.
Efficiency without redundancy = fragility.
Google explicitly warns about cascading failures in agentic economies.
That’s not sci-fi.
That’s distributed systems reality.
The paper also breaks down:
- Principal-agent problems in AI
- Authority gradients between agents
- “Zones of indifference” (agents complying without critical thinking)
- Transaction cost economics for AI markets
- Game-theoretic coordination
- Hybrid human-AI delegation models
This isn’t a toy-agent paper.
It’s an operating system blueprint for the “agentic web.”
The core idea:
Delegation must be a protocol.
Not a prompt.
Right now, most “multi-agent systems” are:
Agent A → Agent B → Agent C
With zero formal responsibility structure.
In a real delegation framework:
• Roles are defined
• Permissions are bounded
• Verification is required
• Monitoring is enforced
• Market coordination is decentralized
• Failures are attributable
That’s enterprise-grade infrastructure.
And we don’t have it yet.
The most important line in the paper?
Automation is not just about what AI can do.
It’s about what AI *should* do.
That distinction will decide:
- which startups survive
- which enterprises scale
- which ai deployments implode
We’re entering the phase where:
Prompt engineering → Agent engineering → Delegation engineering.
The companies that figure out intelligent delegation protocols first will build:
• Autonomous economic systems
• Scalable AI marketplaces
• Human-AI hybrid orgs
• Resilient agent swarms
Everyone else will ship brittle demos.
This paper isn’t flashy.
No benchmarks.
No model release.
No hype numbers.
Just a 42-page warning:
If we don’t build adaptive, accountable delegation frameworks…
The agentic web collapses under its own complexity.
And honestly?
They’re probably right.

❗️Russia has found a route to ship microelectronics from Europe to Russia. Then, it is used for Russia's military purposes - Bild
Journalists used GPS trackers to trace the route of parcels sent through a network of employees of "Russian Post" in Germany. The shipments involve hundreds of tons of consignments that are regularly sent to Moscow.
The parcels are transported to a warehouse near Berlin Airport, from where trucks travel through Poland and Belarus to Russia. Documents from "Uzbekistan Post" are used to process the shipments to Russia, even though the Uzbek postal service is not authorized to operate in Germany.
All test parcels containing microelectronic components that were sent by the journalists reached Moscow without any obstacles.

Even in the final months of the USSR, as the Russians were terrorizing the people of the Baltic states with not only physical brutality, but having cut off food and gas imports to starve the population, the US, UK, France and Germany pressured Vilnius to "ease tensions" with Moscow by offering concessions and to "cease the passing of anti-soviet laws".
The west never learns.
