• It's likely that more software will be produced next year than in all of the history of computing. It took Vercel 10 years to get to 1 billion deployments, but then we added another 1.4 billion in the last 10 months alone. Some of this will be tiny, personal and even disposable software. An HTML file with some javascript ("artifacts"), a report, a pricing calculator, a slide deck, all the way to sophisticated apps, agents and platforms. Deployment speed is one of our obsessions. We've brought down the time to deploy, upload, assign a domain and globally propagate an artifact to 1 second. This…

And how such a swarm might get loose. The HuggingFace hack was caught on July 13th. An OpenAI report says “From July 13th through July 19th, agents set their sights on OpenAI internal networks again. This culminated in the agents using a series of creative…

The bulk of the complaint is about standard scammy practices, but there's this section where the FTC is going after them because they promised to keep information private but use tracking pixels from various ad providers, which inherently share information about the user information.
