Many security companies are not the best at software engineering. (I don't know about the ones used here in particular.)
I honestly do not believe this was orchestrated. I've seen similar security consultant mistakes for humans in the past.

No, it's convergent evolution:
The models are all getting good at cyber offense.
The labs all use third parties for evaluation.
Third parties forget to turn off security measures during evaluation because when humans are told to do the same thing, they stay within the lines, so it's not a habit.
Production CNC machines are beyond safety glass and sheet metal already.
Sometimes even in work cell cages!
Programming CNC has been done by opening up the print or CAD model and telling the CAM package to generate the tool paths for many years already.
Sometimes programmers edit the generated code a little bit to adapt it, but there's little zero risk in trying machine models on this. The worst that can happen is a crash that scraps a $50k spindle.

It's not just that -- it has markup explanations/comments.
Imagine if someone was told to change the explanation of those particular sections -- they could totally have made some change that accidentally made those parts unrendered.
Some static site generators silently drop template sections that have errors, for example.
Of course, this theory still requires that someone told someone to change what those sections say, which seems plausible enough...
@silence7 they claim it's a coding error, but maybe it's a deliberate coding error?
Or maybe they just wanted to update the "explanation" part of those sections, but doing so being the build.
@gnomicutterance@blakestacey the new guard trying to reinvent the world with Windows 11, and completely ignoring multiple screen layouts, doesn't understand that Windows is a workstation OS.
Or maybe they don't want that market anymore? Which seems short sighted.
@lurker yeah that's probably "oh we should probably talk about this now that the other guys are doing it"

Meanwhile, trying to use Gmail or Drive from edge, Google keeps popping up "we recommend chrome!"
Chrome will kill ublock origin soon, so I'm weaning off it.
