Welcome to the TechBoo Ride Home for Tuesday, March 10th, 206. I'm Brian McCullough today. Meta moves for the social network for AI bots. Code review for Claudecote seems to be like another revolution for the software development industry. Jan LeCoon raises the biggest European seed round of all time, and the MacBook Neo, worth investing

in or not?

Here's what you miss today in the world of tech.

OpenClawe blew up among the tech community, but MaltBook broke containment, reaching people

who had no idea what OpenClaught was, but who reacted viscerally to the idea that

viral in which an AI agent appeared to be encouraging its fellow agents to develop their own secret

end-to-end encrypted language, where they could organize amongst themselves without humans knowing.

But researchers soon revealed that the vibe-coded MaltBook was not secure, meaning that it was very easy for human
