The headlines today pull in two directions at once. On the developer side, the industry is racing toward shared infrastructure — a new Agent Plugins spec from the major AI labs, and Mitchell Hashimoto stepping out of retirement to build a "multiplexer" meant for any kind of work. On the security beat the tone is more sobering: a novel attack on Google Password Manager’s passkey sync, and yet another reminder that the majority of users still reuse passwords. And on the civic side, Nagasaki’s 81st-anniversary warning about nuclear risk lands with extra weight against that backdrop of fragile trust.
