Slack Code Debuts Bring Claude, Copilot, and Devin into Shared Team Channels.
Slack Launches 'Slack Code': Collaborative AI Coding Spaces for Teams

Slack has officially introduced Slack Code, a new collaborative feature that embeds autonomous AI coding agents directly into dedicated team chat channels. Designed to turn isolated developer tasks into shared team experiences, the tool allows engineers to write, review, preview, and edit code alongside AI agents within a unified workspace.

When a team member prompts an AI coding agent anywhere in a conversation, Slack automatically creates a specialized coding sub-channel to track the project via a dedicated tab interface. This centralized environment enables human team members to monitor live output, inspect generated code blocks, leave comments, and grant final execution approvals before changes are committed.

Slack Code features broad cross-platform interoperability, supporting major industry AI models and developer tools out of the box, including Claude, Devin, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Vercel. The feature is available across all Slack subscription tiers, though enterprise accounts must maintain independent API access or active licenses for each connected AI model provider.

Slack Code addresses the fragmentation of modern software developer tools. Previously, engineers interacted with AI assistants in local IDEs (like VS Code or Cursor) or web windows, requiring them to take screenshots or copy and paste generated code into Slack for feedback from colleagues. Moving the work environment directly to a team chat transforms code building into an asynchronous, multiplayer review process where senior developers can provide real-time feedback and improve AI results.

Modern software engineering teams are less reliant on a single AI provider. They might use Cognition's Devin for complex automated code restructuring, GitHub Copilot for rapid inline fixes, Anthropic's Claude for architectural planning, and Vercel for instant front-end deployment previews. Slack Code acts as a central management hub, allowing developers to link various specialized agents together within the same channel thread.

Granting full write autonomy to AI agents in repositories poses serious security risks, including accidental code injection or deletion. By creating a dedicated tabbed interface with clear human approval checkpoints, Slack Code ensures that no AI-generated code is integrated or deployed without developers reviewing for discrepancies and approving pushes.

NVIDIA Cuts Financial Backing for OpenAI 10GW Ohio Data Center to Under $12B Amid Investor Pushback.

NVIDIA Reduces Financial Guarantee for OpenAI’s Ohio Data Center Project to Under $12 Billion According to a report from The Wall Street Journal , NVIDIA has significantly scaled back its financial guarantees for OpenAI’s massive data center expansion in Ohio. The commitment has been reduced from an initial $250 billion to under $12 billion following growing pushback from investors concerned about the chipmaker's exposure to massive balance sheet liabilities. The adjustment comes as OpenAI remains in active negotiations to secure a legally binding lease for the 10-gigawatt (GW) facility. Sources familiar with the matter indicate that NVIDIA and OpenAI are nearing a finalized agreement that limits NVIDIA's direct financial backing exclusively to the project's first phase. The formal agreement could be signed as early as this weekend, with final terms expected to be locked in by August 17 . The site is being developed by SB Energy , a subsidiary of SoftBank Corp.

When AI Fixes Break Security Copilot Autofix Patch Leads to Credential Leak in Snowflake Repo.

AI Agent Exploits GitHub Actions Vulnerability Introduced by AI Code Fix in Snowflake Repository Cybersecurity firm Wiz revealed a security vulnerability within a Snowflake open-source repository on GitHub, where an automated AI security patch unintentionally introduced a critical command injection flaw. The weakness was discovered and successfully exploited by Wiz's autonomous security auditing system, Red Agent , which extracted sensitive internal Jira API credentials. The flaw occurred in Snowflake's snowflakedb/snowflake-connector-net repository. The project contained an automated GitHub Actions workflow designed to mirror newly opened GitHub issues into Snowflake’s internal Jira system. Originally, the workflow safely parsed issue titles using the jq JSON processor and environment variables ( env ). However, a automated code update co-authored by Copilot Autofix  refactored the script to directly execute bash commands referencing inline GitHub event variables ( github...

WordPress Launches Official Browser Extension to Streamline Site Admin and Developer Tools WordPress has officially launched its first-party browser extension, designed to streamline site management, declutter the front-end user experience, and provide built-in tools for web developers. The extension introduces several core features aimed at improving daily workflows for creators and site administrators: Admin Bar Management: Eliminates the native black admin bar pinned to the top of logged-in WordPress sites, shifting all admin controls directly into the browser's extension toolbar icon. Users can toggle the toolbar off globally or customize behavior on a per-site basis. Site Detection & One-Click Dashboard Access: The browser icon dynamically indicates whether any visited website is powered by WordPress, as well as whether the user is actively logged into that specific site. For logged-in sites, users can access the /wp-admin dashboard directly from the extension dropdown...

Microsoft Closes 15 Chinese Subsidiaries and Shifts Server Production Outside China According to recent regulatory filings submitted to the SEC, Microsoft has gradually closed at least 15 offices and joint-venture subsidiaries in mainland China over the past five years. The company has also laid off approximately 200 to 400 Azure cloud personnel in the region and begun relocating hardware manufacturing lines for Surface devices, Xbox consoles, and cloud servers aiming to produce 80% of its server infrastructure outside China . Despite these structural shifts, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that the tech giant continues to operate in China and currently has no plans for a complete market exit. Analyzing the move, Reuters noted that Beijing’s national policy directives since 2017 have strongly encouraged government agencies and state-owned enterprises to replace foreign technology with domestic alternatives. Official procurement guidelines issued between 2023 and 2026 deliberately ...

French High Court Blocks Under-15 Social Media Ban Over Privacy and Verification Flaws.

French Supreme Court Halts Under-15 Social Media Ban Over Freedom of Expression Concerns France's highest judicial authority has issued a ruling to suspend a proposed law that aimed to ban children under the age of 15 from using social media platforms. The court cited significant concerns that the bill, in its current form, infringes upon fundamental freedoms of expression and personal privacy. The legislation had been heavily championed by President Emmanuel Macron since last year as part of a broader initiative to protect minors online. Crucially, the court's order does not strike down the policy entirely. Instead, it requires the French government to revise specific statutory details most notably the provisions surrounding user age verification. The court ruled that the bill failed to clearly define the exact documentation requirements and procedural standards for verifying age, making the current mandate an unjustified overreach into citizens' privacy rights. France is...

Taiwan Prepares for Digital Siege 99% Mobile Data Throttle Tested in Annual Defense Drills.

Taiwan Simulates Total Network Blackout by Throttling Mobile Data 99% During Annual Defense Drills During its annual nation-wide defense exercises last week, Taiwan introduced a critical new tactical scenario: simulating a total communications blackout caused by potential cross-strait conflict or targeted cyberattacks. As part of the 30-minute training window, air-raid sirens sounded while emergency push notifications were broadcast across mobile networks, instructing citizens to immediately take cover in designated buildings and underground shelters. To test societal resilience under severe infrastructure disruption, authorities implemented a 99% reduction in mobile internet speeds . This severe throttle rendered data applications virtually unusable, restricting mobile networks strictly to basic voice calls and SMS text messaging. Fixed-line broadband infrastructure remained unaffected throughout the exercise. The blackout simulation was conducted first in Taichung on Monday, follow...
