News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Short term there will be pain (hacks/malware) but at the same time, it will force the survivors to build bullet proof systems.

Worse case, we enter the Dark Forest era for technology. Read up on this concept and apply it to the tech industry. I suspect open-source might die and everything becomes private, no more public networks, no more open access, as to assure survival. In a sense we are halfway there already as it seems the internet is starting to close down, people not posting their art and music as much anymore, not posting their knowledge for free anymore, as it might be used against them by AI (the other party in the dark forest..). Thus private authentic experiences will become more valuable.

Can you describe how you arrive at the premise that people stop sharing because of AI? As a counterexample, I just tried out a dev's vibecoded app 'Glaze My Numbers Baby' and it 1. works and 2. is ridiculous and cool. Totally vibe coded. Claude rewrote all the C++ tests in Rust, so there's at least some substance to the rewrite.
