Copy Fail is a logic bug in the Linux kernel's authencesn cryptographic template that lets unprivileged users trigger a deterministic, controlled 4-byte write into the page cache of any readable file on the system. It can be exploited using a single 732-byte Python script to obtain root on essentially all Linux distributions shipped since 2017. Its discovery was AI-assisted. A patch for the bug is available.

Mozilla is against Google's decision to build AI plumbing into Chrome. The Prompt API gives web pages the ability to directly prompt a browser-provided language model.

Many people in Silicon Valley believe that AI will soon surpass human capabilities. While this should produce tremendous growth and scientific achievement, it will displace millions of jobs, depress economic mobility, and exacerbate inequality. The technology will ferry power and wealth to the AI companies and existing owners of capital while ordinary people lose their economic leverage. It could create a permanent underclass as people are rendered useless and unemployable.
