I Watched AI Agents Try to Hack My Vibe-Coded Website

A few weeks ago, I watched a small team of artificial intelligence agents spend roughly 10 minutes trying to hack into my brand new vibe-coded website.

The AI agents, developed by startup RunSybil, worked together to probe my poor site to identify weak spots. An orchestrator agent, called Sybil, oversees several more specialized agents all powered by a combination of custom language models and off-the-shelf APIs.

Whereas conventional vulnerability scanners probe for specific known problems, Sybil is able to operate at a higher level, using artificial intuition to figure out weaknesses. It might, for example, work out that a guest user has privileged access—something a regular scanner

Not for the first time, there has been a rise in demand for matcha across the world. The powder made from green tea is purportedly good for you because it’s rich in antioxidants and the bright green drinks look good on TikTok, so what’s not to love? So many people have jumped aboard the matcha bandwagon that suppliers are reporting shortages.

Here’s a short list of some of the best places to get matcha in the Seattle area (plus one in Tacoma). These spots specialize in matcha and pair it with flavors ranging from ube and pandan to marshmallow and lavender; many source matcha directly from Japan.

Everything You Wanted to Know About China’s Auto Industry Takeover

What is the future of cars? For one thing, after substantial government support and poaching of top Western talent, China’s car industry is about to dominate globally with charging rates, ranges, luxury design, technology, and sheer volumes. Moreover, it’s no longer content with serving its own enormous market as Chinese brands make serious inroads across Australia and Europe.

In May, it was reported that, for the first time, Chinese automaker BYD sold more cars in Europe than Tesla in the previous month. Meanwhile in the US, the affordable car is about to go extinct. With President Donald Trump’s back-and-forth tariffs, it may well be time to

Green burials – the biodegradable alternative | Letter

For those who find the idea of burning their deceased friend’s body distasteful (‘The delivery man arrived with the ashes in a gift bag’ – why are so many people opting out of traditional funerals?, 23 July), an alternative to direct cremation is a green burial, which costs more but not excessively so. Here, the grave is not permanent, and everything that goes in it has to be biodegradable – this rules out embalming. Coffins must be made of cardboard or untreated wood – woven willow is becoming very popular. No permanent memorial is allowed, but usually a wooden plaque can be added, which will last for several years

Slog AM: 8.8 Earthquake Rattles the Pacific Ocean, Columbia City Funeral Home Damaged by Fire, the Pacific Science Center’s Mechanical Dinosaurs Get the Boot

At around 3 pm our time on Monday, one of the most powerful earthquakes on record hit the Kamchatka Peninsula, a remote region of Russia that has a population of 290,000. The people there surely felt it, but no one, according to recent reports, was killed or seriously injured. The world-historical seismic event triggered tsunami warnings in Hawaii, French Polynesia, Japan, Peru, and Chile. It seems our planet’s largest ocean was sloshing about like bathtub water bothered by a soap-lathering bather. This morning, however, almost all tsunami warnings have been downgraded, and the shores of our region of America—California, Oregon, Washington—only experienced waves that were more curious than destructive.

Why it’s important to protect your hearing as you age – and what experts suggest

A recent study examined the potential link between hearing loss and dementia, suggesting that treating hearing loss can help the brain. Although the possible connection is still being untangled, study co-author and audiologist Nicholas Reed advises prioritizing hearing health regardless.

“There are already more than enough established benefits related to hearing care,” says Reed, a faculty member of the NYU Langone Health Optimal Aging Institute.

What’s especially important about supporting hearing health is the effect it has on keeping people engaged in the world, Reed explains. Here’s what experts recommend in order to support your hearing as you age.

How does hearing loss occur?

Hearing loss can result from a wide range of

How Edward ‘Big Balls’ Coristine and DOGE Got Access to a Federal Payroll System That Serves the FBI

In early February, Edward “Big Balls” Coristine was one of two operatives for Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) granted potentially wide-ranging access to a number of systems at the Small Business Administration (SBA). Through that foray, DOGE gained access to the National Finance Center (NFC), a sensitive system that provides human resources and payroll functions for the Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), among other agencies.

This access has not been previously reported. And new reporting from WIRED, including the review of hundreds of pages of documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request, offers insight

The Trump-Crypto Honeymoon Is Over

As with any fledgling romance, Trumpworld and big money cryptocurrency interests were bound to have their first fight at some point.

It was late June heading into July, and two highly anticipated bills were in the pipeline to help fulfill President Donald Trump’s promises to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet” and usher in what his supporters believed would be a “golden age” of digital assets. Congress had one shot at passing something before the August recess.

Coinbase, the cryptocurrency exchange, and Andreessen Horowitz, the venture capital firm known as a16z, were, according to two Republicans involved in the negotiations, calling around to members to see if they

US Senator Urges DHS to Probe Whether Agents Were Moved From Criminal Cases to Deportations

Since February, multiple news reports have alleged that a significant number of agents at Homeland Security Investigations (HSI)—the Department of Homeland Security’s investigative wing that focuses on transnational crimes like child exploitation, human trafficking, and drug cartels—have been pulled from child exploitation cases and reassigned to immigration enforcement and arrests.

US senator Ron Wyden urged DHS inspector general Joseph Cuffari on Tuesday to “promptly” launch an investigation into the veracity and extent of these reports about HSI, in a letter shared exclusively with WIRED. Inspector General Cuffari has the authority to conduct audits or investigations into any activities

TernX Review (2025): Travel With Young Kids Just Got Easier

I procrastinated flying anywhere with my son until he was almost 3. There were so many things needed—a car seat! Stroller! In-flight entertainment! His own luggage! A crib when we landed!—that it felt like too much to coordinate. And who can blame me? It’s just parenting in a new location, after all, rather than a vacation.

Still, a trip we wanted to take finally presented itself. We booked a long weekend in San Francisco and the nearby wine country to see family and friends we haven’t seen since I was pregnant, and to relive a family tradition (though sans my grandmother, since she passed in 2020) for the first time
