We believe the same will hold true here too—eventually. Once the security landscape has reached a new equilibrium, we believe that powerful language models will benefit defenders more than attackers, increasing the overall security of the software ecosystem.

“We want to operate like the world’s largest startup,” Jassy wrote. “That means having a passion for constantly inventing for customers, strong urgency (for most big opportunities, it’s a race!), high ownership, fast decision-making, scrappiness and frugality, deeply-connected collaboration (you need to be joined at the hip with your teammates when inventing and solving hard problems), and a shared commitment to each other.”

Speaker card for Accessibility Annotations Around the World, an axe-con 2026 talk by Jan Maarten and Daniel Henderson-Ede

Wolverine sitting in casual dress, crumpled on the floor surrounded by beer cans. Someone asks: are you okay? to which he responds: are you a beer?

An allegedly-smart toaster with four slices of bread sticking out of the top of it. The entire front of the appliance looks like an ipad screen with two iOS-like interfaces for each pair of gluten-warming slots, complete with a timer and icons with no labels which depict various degrees of toasted bread. Many of them have numbers on them for some reason, which fail color contrast requirements. There's also a few icons which DO have labels for some reason, for types of bread or pastries or waffles, or an En Muffin. Or Gluten free, which also gets its own setting because it's fancy. And then there's also a snowflake icon? Your guess is as good as mine.

A parody of the laughable Fox News slide that originated the 'attack and dethrone god' Final Fantasy memes. The card title says: WP Engine’s Final Fantasy Strategy. There are 6 bullet points, which read: Get Automattic to give us series A funding. Make Matt Mullenweg’s aging mother think
we are actually WordPress. Be bad at what we do, but not as bad as him. Organize the blogger class. Get all our customers thrown under the bus
of an illegal sign-in checkbox. Attack and dethrone WordPress.

Two thinking emoji faces form the breasts on a large yellow torso. A truly cursed reaction image.

A four panel meme of a cat under some covers.

First panel is a cat's head peeking out from under a blanket. The caption says, "Is it still capitalism outside?"

Second panel, same cat with eyes half closed, fading fast. The caption says, "y'all need to fix that"

Third panel, same cat under the blanket with eyes closed, its two front paws draped over the blanket now. The caption says, "do a revolution or something"

Fourth panel. The caption says "damn". The cat is turned slightly away from the camera, trying to relax and just be, asleep and comfortable. Because presumably there's less capitalism in its dreams.
