TL;DR AI editors love writing recursive merge helpers, and most of them are open to prototype pollution. One crafted JSON payload with a proto key can flip an isAdmin flag on every object in your app. Guard the keys or merge into a structure that has no prototype. It is a three-line fix. I asked Cursor for a "deep merge two config objects" helper last week. It gave me eight lines that worked perfectly on my test data. It also gave me a prototype pollution hole big enough to walk through. The function looked fine. That is the problem. Prototype pollution does not show up when you run the happy path. It shows up when someone sends you a key called proto . The code Cursor handed me (CWE-1321) function merge ( target , source ) { for ( const key in source ) { if ( source [ key ] && typeof source [ key ] === ' object ' ) { target [ key ] = merge ( target [ key ] || {}, source [ key ]); } else { target [ key ] = source [ key ]; } } return target ; } Now feed it something a user controls, like a parsed JSON request body: merge ({}, JSON . parse ( ' {"__proto__": {"isAdmin": true}} ' )); ({}). isAdmin ; // true You did not set isAdmin on anything. You set it on every object in the process. Any later check like if (user.isAdmin) now passes for objects that never had that field. Why this keeps happening The recursive merge pattern is all over old blog posts and StackOverflow answers, and almost none of them guard the special keys. The model learned merge from that corpus. It reproduces the shape of the answer, including the missing check, because the missing check never breaks a test. A for...in loop also walks keys like proto when they arrive as ordinary string properties from JSON.parse, which is exactly how the payload gets in. The fix Skip the dangerous keys, or merge into something that has no prototype to pollute. function merge ( target , source ) { for ( const key in source ) { if ( key === ' __proto__ ' || key === ' constructor ' || key === ' prototype ' ) continue ;

Not long ago I wrote about how I built a browser-based board game called "Growing City" in three days using AI — and how the hardest part wasn't the code at all. Some time has passed, and I wanted to share what happened next. Layout Bugs While vibe-coding solo, I only tested on my own screen, resolution, and browser. The problem surfaced as soon as real users joined with different setups: some people saw everything misaligned, some things got clipped, some cards overlapped each other. This is how it looked on some screens I had to rewrite the layout to use adaptive sizing so the game looks correct regardless of screen resolution. It should work now — but if something still looks off on your end, let me know and I'll fix it. Bots Started Talking Another change, unrelated to bugs. The service started feeling more alive. Previously, bots just played: rolled dice, bought cards, said nothing. Now they react in the chat to what's happening in the game — if someone's building gets taken, if someone buys an expensive card or runs out of money. It's a small thing, but the game feels noticeably more lively. An empty game with silent bots versus a session where someone's commenting on what's happening in chat — it's a meaningfully different experience, even though the game itself is the same. Thank You to Early Players A special thanks to everyone who tried the game after my first article. And extra thanks to a user with the nickname SHAM, who pointed out that the game rules never said you can't buy multiple purple cards in a row — even though the game itself has that restriction. Fixed! What's Next The project is still going. I'm thinking about ads and other ways to bring in players. Without new users, it's hard to get feedback — and without feedback, it's hard to know what to fix or improve first. The unit economics don't quite work out yet: paid acquisition costs more than I'm willing to invest at this stage. I'll keep figuring it out. If you have ideas on how to find playe

I love board games — especially the kind you can play without leaving home. You just call your friends, drop a link, and you're playing in minutes. At some point, I caught myself wondering: how realistic is it to build a complete game almost entirely with AI? Not a prototype, but something actually playable. I decided to find out. Three days later, I had a working browser-based board game: rooms, multiplayer, bots, chat, full game sessions. But the most interesting thing turned out to have nothing to do with AI writing code. What's the Game? The game is called "Growing City" (Растущий город). It's an economic board game about developing your own city. Each turn, players roll a die, buildings activate, income flows in, and you earn money to buy new structures. Gradually you build up enterprises, construct your economic engine, and race to complete all the key buildings before your opponents. You can play directly in the browser with no registration. I wanted the simplest possible entry: open the site, enter a nickname, create or join a room. If the mechanics seem familiar — you're not imagining it. I was inspired by a well-known city-building board game. Day 1: AI Really Can Write Games I'm not a developer. I work in tech, but I don't code professionally. Over the past few months I've been experimenting heavily with vibe coding, so I decided to build this project the same way. I didn't start with code at all. First, I wrote out the mechanics in detail: what cards exist, how a turn plays out, what should happen in each situation. Once the logic settled, I started gradually converting the description into code using AI. Day 2: Writing the Game Was Just the Beginning When the first playable version appeared, it quickly became clear that the code was far from the hardest part. The biggest problem was balance . If you leave everything as-is, players find the single most profitable strategy within a few games and repeat it endlessly. I had to manually tweak card costs, adj

The company has been gaining traction in Europe.

The company announced a new slate of executive hires meant to help turn things around, as Gravity SUV sales are not taking off as expected.

The company delivered more than 480,000 EVs globally, seemingly thanks to geographic expansion and cheaper versions of the Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck.

The company now expects to ship a few thousand more vehicles by the end of 2026 than it previously expected, after launching its R2 SUV last month.
