Sony has confirmed significant layoffs at Bungie, the studio behind Destiny Two. The cuts come after Sony acknowledged the game fell short of expectations, raising hard questions about what happens when a major acquisition doesn't deliver, and who pays the price when it doesn't.
Shifting to open source security, the Linux Foundation has launched a new initiative called Akrites, designed to protect free and open source software from AI-enabled exploits.

And on the question of who reviews AI-generated code, a growing chorus of voices is pushing back on the idea that the same systems building software should also be signing off on its quality. The argument is straightforward: you wouldn't let a contractor inspect their own work. As AI coding tools become more embedded in development pipelines, the trust problem may matter more than the speed gains.
