Gremlins

The Manila Times warns that an unregulated internet and artificial intelligence could turn into what it calls 'evil gremlins' — technologies that spiral beyond human control and cause widespread harm. The piece adds to a growing global debate among governments, regulators and tech companies over how to rein in AI risks while preserving innovation.

Reliability firm Gremlin has introduced AI features to speed up chaos engineering, using machine intelligence to disrupt distributed systems more quickly and uncover weaknesses before real outages occur. The news is drawing wry commentary from site reliability engineers, with jokes that AI simply fails faster than a human SRE ever could.

Gremlin has introduced Foresight AI, a tool designed to identify reliability risks in systems and test potential fixes before failures occur. The announcement, published by the company, highlights a move to bring AI-driven predictions into chaos engineering and resilience testing. Details beyond the launch itself remain limited, so reactions from the wider reliability community are not yet visible.

A retrospective game review of Gremlins 2: The New Batch is drawing attention, comparing every released version of the film adaptation across platforms. The piece revisits how the licensed title varied between home computers and consoles, offering a nostalgic look back at a movie tie-in from an era when such adaptations were common and often wildly different depending on the system.
