Slopsquatting: AI Hallucinations Fuel Supply-Chain Risk
AI coding assistants are hallucinating fake package names — and attackers are registering them with malicious code. This emerging threat, dubbed 'slopsquatting,' is exploiting developer trust in LLMs at scale, with hallucination rates reaching as high as 82% depending on the model.

Why LLMs All Say '7': One Startup's Fix for AI Groupthink
Most large language models are predictably converging on the same answers — from random numbers to band names to marketing taglines. Australian startup Springboards built a model called Flint specifically trained to break that pattern, and early users say it's already changing how they brainstorm.
