Forget typosquatting; slopsquatting is the software supply chain threat created by AI coding tools

Slopsquatting represents an emerging supply chain threat made possible by AI hallucinations. As developers increasingly rely on AI coding assistants, they unknowingly grant cybercriminals access to their software from day one. Understanding what slopsquatting isSlopsquatting is a new type of supply chain attack that uses large language model (LLM) hallucinations to inject malicious code into development … Read more

Why Quantum Computing Needs Strong Ecosystems to Scale

Why Quantum Computing Needs Strong Ecosystems to Scale

Guest Post by Yonathan Cohen, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Quantum Machines. Something is changing in the quantum industry. Not long ago, most conversations focused almost entirely on qubits: fidelities, coherence times, error rates, and which hardware modality might eventually win. Those questions are clearly critical and stand at the heart of bringing quantum computers to … Read more

Wall Street is debating the AI buildout. Enterprises just answered: 86% say their GPUs run at half capacity or less

Wall Street is debating the AI buildout. Enterprises just answered: 86% say their GPUs run at half capacity or less

Enterprise companies are running AI agents ahead of the controls needed to manage them — and they deployed that way knowingly. That is the central finding from VentureBeat Research’s June survey of 573 technical leaders at companies with 100 or more employees, fielded across five parallel surveys of the agentic stack. Enterprises are now retrofitting to … Read more
