#Curl project founder snaps over deluge of time-sucking #AI slop #bug reports
source: theregister.com/2025/05/07/cur…
According to its #HackerOne page, it received 24 reports in the previous 90 days, none of which have led to payouts, and as #Stenberg said in his #LinkedIn post, none of the AI-assisted reports made in the last six years have actually discovered a genuine bug.
The problem is the bug bounty program. People generate #AI bug reports in the hope to get #money.

Would you steal the font for a campaign "You wouldn't steal a car"?
Today Melissa Lewis over on BlueSky pointed out that the font used in the infamous "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy campaign was actually designed by Just van Rossum, whose brother, Guido, created the Python programming language ( bsky.app/profile/melissa.news/… )
She also pointed out that the font had been cloned and released illegally for free under the name "XBAND Rough". Naturally, it would be hilarious if the anti-piracy campaign actually turned out to have used this pirated font, so I went sleuthing and quickly found a PDF from the campaign site with the font embedded ( web.archive.org/web/2005122320… ).

The results suggest that while the #IEA has accurately anticipated primary and final energy demand growth, it has historically overestimated the growth in #fossil #fuels and #nuclear #electricity generation and severely underestimated the growth in key #renewable #technologies including solar #photovoltaics and #wind #power, the latter occurring across scenarios.

• #WEO #energy scenarios have significantly underestimated #solar PV growth potential.
• Outlook and normative scenarios indicate bias for nuclear and against renewables.
• Power-to-X flexibility options exist in the #GEC model, though their use is limited.
• Increased #transparency of assumptions for key technologies is required.
• Exogenous limitations of key technologies may impede global energy transitions.
