To be fair, most regular systems will not boot over the network.
Many desktops (targeted for corporations) will boot over the network, but I am not sure how many do so by default. Server class hardware deployed by in datacenters often has network boot enabled, and is used to install (and reinstall, and recover) the fleet.

Are they caused by simpletons who are letting AI do their jobs without any oversight?
I would hope that AMI will offer a postmortem report that will explain how they broke the embargo. And they should have their membership in the super double secret handshake club reviewed and perhaps revoked if they can't show adequate changes in their processes to avoid the issue next time (and there will always be a next time).

Despite its flaws, vulnerabilities, and haters I think that PHP is a good or admirable language for web servers.
