AI hallucinations aren't cute when your build treats them as dependencies. Slopsquatting turns "suggested" imports into landmines: ~20% of AI-generated samples include non-existent deps, and 43% of those hallucinations repeat across runs - perfect for mass registry grabs. 🧪🚫
Fix the incentives, not the vibes: fail-closed on unknown deps via internal proxy/allowlist, wire real-time dependency scanning into CI/CD, and train devs to challenge "new" imports from Copilot/ChatGPT. If your pipeline sees a never-before-seen package, does it block - or quietly pip install it?
