Big new Wasmtime security release today - 11 new CVEs found including 2 critical ones using LLMs.
bytecodealliance.org/articles/…
If LLMs can find this many critical bugs in a project that is as rigorous about security as Wasmtime, then get ready for projects with weaker security postures to do a lot worse. Like,,, actually.

The only pushback I'd provide is that I think it's less "the people have chosen" and more "capital has chosen". We're here only because hundreds of billions have been sunk into this.

is it just me, or does the a. i. companies’ recent focus on automating exploit finding read as an “engage with us Or Else” ploy against the projects that wouldn’t take generated code contributions but can’t ignore security issuesJoe Groff (1M Context) (Durian Software)

There is an alternative available to you. You can use the import button for the CSV file to enter the Mastodon address (without the @ symbol). This will import the contacts from the external account.
Droppie
in reply to Matthias • • •@Matthias
oh, now i think we had misunderstood each other. the way that i have been trying to do the import, was indeed using that button, per this pic:
except the button's name is
Save settings[which tbh seems a bit misleading].so it seems that the Import tool is comprehensively broken atm, if neither way works 😭
@Friendly Koala @Marek 🇦🇺🇩🇪 @Michael 🇺🇦
Matthias
in reply to Droppie • • •I didn't make myself clear. If you enter your Mastodon handle in the ‘Your legacy ActivityPub/GNU Social account’ field, your contacts will be imported directly from that account. This means you can skip the CSV import.
Droppie
in reply to Matthias • • •@Matthias thanks, but unfortunately then this happens:
it never asked me for my password, which i expected should be necessary for privacy

ah, i really have done a bad job at explaining this -- sorry for wasting your time. i have MANY simultaneously active fediverse accounts / instances... four friendicas [four different instances], two Mastodons, one Sharkey. i am not trying to close one instance now & migrate it to another.
instead, i need to import my most up to date contacts list, which atm happens to be one of my Mastos, into my newest friendica [this one that i am making these posts in] that i created ~5 weeks ago & have been evaluating & testing to see if it is good enough to become my new daily default fedi "home" .
so, yesterday i exported the contacts list from that Masto, & this is the file i have been trying then to import into this new friendica account, as per all the corro in this thread.
does that make sense now?

if the file import tool is broken, then i would have to manually search for every one of the >200 contacts individually in this instance, which would take hours or days.

Friendica, version 2026.01 that is running at the web location https://friendica.au. The database version is 1586/1586, the post update version is 1550/1550.and the fourth is
Friendica, version 2026.04-dev that is running at the web location https://friendica.opensocial.space. The database version is 1592/1592, the post update version is 1550/1550.given my initial fedi place ~4 years ago was a Masto instance, & all my numerous #fedihops since then have involved exporting the then-current following-list from the then-latest instance [of any software] & importing it into my new/latest fedi instance, that same process occurred when i began including various friendica instances in my fedihopping. so, the fact that my three older friendica instances successfully did accept the import, back when i did them in prior years, together with the fact that this present, new, instance on the latest stable F version, does not, AND that those three older instances since updating to their latest versions also no longer accept the import, leads me to tentatively conclude this latest version's file import code is broken, when it did still work in the previous versions.
so, in absence of the bulk import tool working, yesterday i spent many hours manually following each of my desired accounts one by one, ie, manually building up my Contacts in this my newest friendica account. such a boring inefficient task, & one which few noobs would be willing to perform, i suspect... ie, in the interests of not driving potential new friendica users away, this apparent bug should be fixed asap imo.
thank you.
