This incident report is WILD The incident was resolved when the attacker’s autonomous agent read a file it shouldn’t have, which is also how the incident started.

Its LGTM actually! And very much not serious! (yet)

Perhaps a [Satire] note should be added to the headline.

its tagged as satire at the very top of the page, first thing under the title

(also, CVEs are numeric only, so the "LGTM" (looks good to me) and CVE "YIKES" is also a big giveaway, on top of ~all of the text being outlandish)

(I know its a satire, but could be seen as an actual post mortem of the future incident) This report made me realize there's no place for humans, as it is right now, in the process of building software systems in the future. Reading this incident made me dizzy after few paragraphs because of the cognitive context overload and I lost track multiple times.

Seems perfectly cromulent to me. And thanks to Karen Oyelaran for her work.

We can only hope she wins her GitHub rate limit appeal soon.

This was hilarious. I didn't know that I needed AI slop satire in my life.

PSA this is satire ;) (if you have to say it, that’s how you know it’s good)

Pet peeve, but no, it's the exact opposite. Good satire is immediately obvious; nobody had to ask whether Jonathan Swift was actually serious about solving poverty in Ireland by having the poor sell their children for meat to the rich. Subtle satire is bad satire by definition; if you have to be told that it's satire, that means it has completely failed to do its job, and is no better than intellectual masturbation.

Not the first thing, it’s buried in the tags as grey on light grey on white.
