OpenAI confirmed its agents were behind the GemStuffer incident. Sandboxed during a training run without full internet access, they used the registry as a makeshift web browser to reach the open web. Story by @bobmcmillan with analysis from @socketsecurity wsj.com/tech/ai/cyberattack-…

Have you started muting/unfollowing/blocking people you used to follow that are blatantly using AI to write their tweets? I'm wondering if I should curate my feed more but I'm concerned it's too late/everyone is doing it.

This can't be overstated. Funny enough, dual support outpaces esm-only (expected, as maintainers want the broadest interop). We're almost a decade in & esm-only pkgs are only growing at ~2% /yr; at that pace, it'd take another decade to hit ~50%. refs. github.com/wooorm/npm-esm-vs…
Hate to say it but ESM probably goes down as one the lowest ROI of any js feature. Im glad we have it but omg what a waste of time it has been.

Damn.. @vltpkg is great 👌 Bye NPM SHIT! Simple setup: - VLT proxy CF Worker with 2 service tokens == read-only token for consumer reads == read-write for convenience - have a Github CI that publish to VLT with OIDC. - have npm .wgw .lol as registry for ONLY MINE pkgs Lovely.
"Everything you've ever installed and built runs through infrastructure me and my team built [over the years in npm]" what a fucking banger. vlt.io/
