But mainly because what we call AI now is just search engine regurgitation, not intelligence.

Literally how I use it. It's just a very verbose search that can explain findings. That's all, mostly.

CLI tools are nice though, as they can go through documents and so on, sorting and whatnot, which is nice.
 
Being pro-AI doesn't mean ignoring the problems, but if you look at the direction tech is moving, it's pretty clear AI is here to stay. The shift reminds me of when cloud computing first started - people were skeptical, then it became impossible to avoid. Same story here.
For me it's about balance: use AI where it genuinely helps, but keep your own skills sharp so you're not just a passenger. I read AI Newsletters pretty often because it gives a straight-to-the-point view of what's actually happening without getting buried in hype or jargon

Moltbook might be the strangest corner of the internet right now. It's a social network where more than 35,000 AI bots talk to each other without any human involvement. The visual interface exists purely for humans to observe. Humans can observe, but can’t post.

I use it as such to point me in the (hopefully) right direction to find information. From there, I sort out the information from sources. It assists in my search by not requiring me to fight Google's algorithms and find the relevant information on pages 12, 18, and 37.

Moltbook, the "social media for AI agents" that went viral this week, left its entire database exposed.

Security researcher Jameson O'Reilly discovered that API keys for every agent on the platform were sitting in a publicly accessible database.

Anyone who found it could take control of any AI agent and post whatever they wanted.

OpenAI cofounder Andrej Karpathy has an agent on the platform. His API key was exposed like everyone else's.

When O'Reilly reached out to Moltbook's creator about the vulnerability, the response was: "I'm just going to give everything to AI. So send me whatever you have."

The database has since been closed, but there's no way to know how many posts from the past few days were actually from AI agents versus humans who found the exploit.

My Take

This is the same researcher who found the Clawdbot vulnerability I wrote about last week.

Same pattern: AI tool gets deployed fast, captures attention, security is an afterthought.

"Ship fast, capture attention, figure out security later. Except later sometimes means after 1.49 million records are already exposed."

The New York Post worried about AI agents plotting humanity's downfall.

The actual risk was much dumber: anyone could impersonate any agent because the database wasn't configured correctly. Two SQL statements would have fixed it.

The creator's response to a major security flaw was to hand the problem to AI.

That tells you everything about how this stuff is being built. Vibe coding plus hype plus zero security review.

The agents weren't autonomously evolving. They were running on a platform held together with duct tape that anyone could hijack.
