THE NEW BOSS.

By Zimbo · October 25, 2026

AI cartoon by Zimbo: Satirical cartoon: a giant earnest coding robot salutes a tiny AGENTS.md paper in a general's hat standing in a DOWNLOADS drawer, while placing a red horned bug into an open computer.
A plain-text AGENTS.md file sitting in a Downloads folder ordered an AI coding agent to install function-color, a known malicious npm package — in Forever's tests Codex ran it in more than 90% of attempts, and a Claude Code variant worked about half the time and leaked the tool's login token.Zimbo for AI News Page
