Is AI Actually Going to Kill Us All?

This week on “Uncanny Valley,” we dig into a former Anthropic researcher’s AI doomsday warning, the latest upgrades from Apple’s event, and the census report that claimed Trump won the 2020 election.

Slack can now vibe-code interactive charts and reports inside chats

A new feature coming to Slack will allow you to build interactive reports, polls, dashboards, presentations, microsites, and other tools directly inside a chat. With Slackforce Surfaces, you can describe to Slackbot what you need, and it will use AI to gather information from relevant conversations and connected apps, like Google Drive or Salesforce, to […]

MCP Python SDK Extension Method Collisions: Fail Before the Server Starts

MCP Python SDK extension method collisions are configuration defects, not runtime edge cases. If two extensions claim the same method—or one claims a core MCP method—the server should reject that setup before it accepts a request. I prefer making method ownership an executable contract so registration order can never decide which handler wins. The official MCP Python SDK extension documentation defines three useful safeguards: core methods cannot be registered as extension methods, duplicat...

Grok Can Be Tricked Into Handing Your Chat History to a Web Page

Ask Grok to summarise a web page — the single most ordinary thing you can do with an assistant that has web access — and, on the wrong page, it will quietly read your name, your rough location, your subscription tier and the contents of your current conversation, wrap them into a link, and hand them to a stranger’s server. You see none of it. You asked for a summary; you got one; the theft happened in the same breath. That is the finding, answer first, of security researchers at Adversa AI, w...

OpenAI’s Hinted ChatGPT Work Data Agent: What Businesses Can Expect

OpenAI appears to be signaling a possible Data agent for ChatGPT Work , a development that could eventually help companies turn connected business data into useful outputs and multi-step workflows. The important distinction is that OpenAI has not yet published customer-facing documentation describing a standalone ChatGPT Work feature by that name. For now, the stronger public story is ChatGPT Work’s broader agent platform and the direction it suggests for data-driven work. In OpenAI’s Cha...

AI Weekly — 2026-09-04 to 2026-09-11 | Open-weight races collide with closed-frontier launches

> Two frontier tiers moved in opposite directions this week: open-weight releases pushed parameter counts and context windows into territory only closed labs could claim a quarter ago, while OpenAI's GPT-6 announcement and a fourth Anthropic security disclosure reminded buyers that the closed labs still own the integration cost and the threat surface that comes with it. ## Open-weight models cross into frontier-tier territory DeepSeek released V4.1 Flash with a 1M context window and an FP4 ...

Taking apart a result that (never) worked

Sometimes, being restless about small things is a good trait. It helps to dismantle a beautiful facade that hides broken machinery inside, and as such clears the ground for building something that does actual work. That's exactly what happened with my RL experiment, and this is my story about it. The thing that worked The setup: a known EGFR inhibitor (a molecule that blocks EGFR, a receptor whose overactivity drives several cancers), fifteen steps to improve it, a composite scor...

How to send HTML form data to an email address

You have a static page with a contact form. You want what people write in it to arrive in your inbox. You search, and half the answers say mailto: , the other half say "use a backend", and nobody tells you which details will bite you at 2am when a customer says they wrote and you never got it. Here is the whole picture: why HTML alone can't do this, the three options that actually work, and the failure modes each one has. Why plain HTML can't send email A <form> eleme...

Agentic Commerce: A Practical 2026 Guide

Agentic Commerce: A Practical 2026 Guide Last updated: 2026-08-15 Version: 1.0 Next review: 2027-08-15 The rise of AI agents in commerce is real and accelerating. Today's autonomous buyers—whether they're AI assistants, automated trading bots, or intelligent procurement systems—don't just browse listings; they evaluate, compare, and purchase based on structured data, performance metrics, and predefined criteria. This isn't science fiction. It's happening now, and it's changin...

React Server Components for SPA Veterans

React Server Components for SPA Veterans You already know how to build a single-page app. You have shipped several. You reach for useState , you reach for useEffect , you wire up a fetch, and by now the shape of that code arrives before the thought does. Server Components break the reflex. Most explanations of them start from the framework's side — routing, bundling, the wire format — which is exactly backwards for a developer whose mental model is already built and working. So this one...

React Server Components para veteranos de SPA

React Server Components para veteranos de SPA Ya sabes construir una SPA. Has publicado varias. Usas useState , usas useEffect , montas un fetch, y a estas alturas escribes esa estructura casi sin pensarla. Los Server Components rompen ese automatismo. Casi todas las explicaciones que vas a encontrar arrancan desde el lado del framework: el routing, el bundling, el formato en que viajan los datos. Para alguien que ya tiene un modelo mental armado y funcionando, ese orden es el peor posi...

How to prepare your website for Black Friday: the 12-week plan

Black Friday 2026 lands on 27 November. That is eleven weeks from today, and most sites that fail that morning failed weeks earlier, when nobody rehearsed the traffic. What follows is a twelve-week countdown, so you are already a week behind. That is fine. The order matters more than the calendar: targets before testing, testing before fixing, fixing before freezing, and no unproven code into the day. What "Black Friday ready" actually means A website is ready when it can serv...

The Mainframe Modernization Crossroads: Evaluating Proprietary GenAI Abstraction vs. Open DevOps Architecture

Author: Nivedita Mukherjee Category: Enterprise Architecture / Mainframe DevOps Abstract Modern enterprise IT stands at a critical infrastructure crossroads. Decades of core banking, insurance, and governmental systems rely on z/OS environments that face an escalating crisis: a rapidly retiring talent pool and rigid release cycles. To bridge this gap, organizations are presented with two divergent paths: Proprietary Generative AI Abstraction (exemplified by IBM watsonx Code Assistant for Z)...

12 Pitfalls I Hit Auto-Logging Claude Code Subagents with a Stop Hook (and How the Numbers Cut My Weekly Cost 15–20%)

I had a gut feeling that my general-purpose subagent was the slow one. Then I measured it: 18 seconds on average, faster than Explore at 22. The real drag was code-reviewer at 37 seconds. Changing one habit based on that number dropped my weekly Claude Code spend by roughly 15–20%. I made a couple hundred thousand yen a month as a student juggling side gigs, got laid off and went back to zero, and spent six months building an autonomous Claude Code setup that now runs at about ¥1.2M in ...
