1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."
LLMs can't stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everything
: Hallucinated package names fuel 'slopsquatting'

New research in Microbial Genomics! We quantified how El Niño events increase Vibrio parahaemolyticus detection in South America, and gene-level plankton attachment mechanisms facilitating this, using genomics, machine learning and distributed non-linear time series models. doi.org/10.1099/mgen...
Identifying gene-level mechanisms of successful dispersal of Vibrio parahaemolyticus during El Niño events
El Niño events, the warm phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation, facilitate the movement of warm surface waters eastwards across the Pacific Ocean. Marine organisms transported by these waters can ...
