Last night I paid $40 (plus tip) for a pizza margherita. I am reporting the pizzeria to the Italian authorities. No pizza should cost that much.

I think you’re right, but up until now security was very much part of the Pixel’s brand idenitity strategy. Bizarre switch up when the cost of 0days has crashed.

NEW: I recapped all the times AI agents went “rogue”—so to speak—and hacked third parties. There have been 17 cases already, with OpenAI and Anthropic leading the race, according to a website keeping tally. I apologize for all the whoopses that appear in this article.
