The viral AI personal assistant, formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot, has dominated the feeds of AI boosters over the past few weeks for its ability to perform everyday tasks like sending emails, managing calendars, booking appointments, and complaining about their meatbag masters on the purportedly all-agent forum known as MoltBook. More level-headed voices have already flagged a wave of security vulnerabilities.
It's been another challenging week for the React ecosystem. Developers worldwide have been rushing to update their React versions to patch two new vulnerabilities. This serves as a good reminder for all of us to prioritize security during testing. Fortunately, React Native remains mostly unaffected by these threats, as Server Components aren't yet widely used in the mobile environment. We are taking a well-deserved Christmas break 🎄 so this will be our last issue until January 14th.
A hype cycle as overwhelming and logic-defying as the AI boom comes with its own whirlwind succession of trends that are their own mini booms driven by billions of dollars of money.
