Today has been a vibe-coding intense day:
First, my The Lawfare Institute article on vibe coding was released, read here: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/when-the-vibe-are-off--the-security-risks-of-ai-generated-code
Second, I gave a quick talk on vibe coding at the Gikii conference in Amsterdam.

Vibe coding poses serious security risks, read about it here 👇
Vibe coding, where large language models take over the entire software development process, would make programming accessible to everyone, but @carolinkemper.bsky.social warns it introduces severe and unpredictable risks to security and code quality.
When the Vibes Are Off: The Security Risks of AI-Generated Code
Vibe coding produces software riddled with insecurities. Will risk management and regulatory compliance, too, fall victim to the vibes?

Wow. Wenn Hintertüren in der Hardware eingebaut sind (gar auf Chipebene), dann bringt auch verschlüsseln und fancy Passwort nicht mehr viel.
Das ist doch mal eine gute Idee, um damit auch deutsche Rechenzentren massiv auszustatten.
Wisst ihr noch, wie sich der Westen (zu Recht) sorgte, China könnte uns mittels gelieferter Kommunikationstechnik ausspionieren? Nun zeigt sich: US-Hersteller Nividia will seine Hochleistungschips mit Ortungsfunktionen ausstatten und sogar eine Abschaltung aus der Ferne ermöglichen. (Quelle: FAZ)

If you've always wanted to get your own Boston Dynamics Spot robot, but with the ability to fire pellets and "pee", look no further: Temu has just the thing!
Robot dogs lifting legs to mimic peeing surely is an interesting approach for social robots 😅

I highly recommend this paper: It moves beyond narratives of superintelligence (whether dystopian or utopian).
Instead, it offers a framework for understanding and regulating AI as a "normal" general-purpose technology.
