Top line: Perplexity has stopped all upcoming ad placements on Prof G Markets and is removing the existing ones after Katie Miller flagged the show — its marketing head calls the spots a small test by a third-party agency. Cloudflare's developer channel is promoting an open-source skill that turns a coding agent into a security-audit team.
Perplexity pulls its Prof G Markets ad placements after Katie Miller flag
What happened: Perplexity has stopped all upcoming ad placements on Prof G Markets and is having the existing ones removed, according to Jesse Dwyer, who says he is responsible for the company's marketing. Dwyer says the placements were part of a small test by a third-party agency and that the company "acted immediately when @KatieMiller flagged it." Chief executive Aravind Srinivas relayed the statement on X.
What's genuinely new: It is the first statement on the pull: the full stop on upcoming spots, the removal of live ones, and the agency-test framing are all new detail. What Katie Miller flagged is not stated in the exchange; commenters in the relay argue the show's sponsors could not have predicted a "fireside chat" remark calling for someone's execution.
Watch: What specifically triggered the flag, whether the third-party-agency test is paused more broadly, and whether other advertisers tied to the same controversy make comparable moves.

Brief
- Cloudflare's developer account is promoting an open-source skill that turns a coding agent into a six-phase team of security auditors, saying it seeded the company's own vulnerability-discovery harness, amid what the post calls the recent wave of vulnerability disclosures — a vendor's own promo for a single skill (nichochar on X).
