Companies have spent the past several weeks trying to reassure investors that Muse and other AI agents pose more of an opportunity than a threat.

I'm the developer. The game sends you to a city, you search the places for clues, then question the suspects with your own words, typed or spoken. Each suspect is played by an LLM that only knows its own character, its own timeline and what you've shown it; it never sees the solution. You catch a lie by showing a clue against a statement, and the case engine decides whether that pair is a contradiction, not the model. Then you write the report: who, when, where, why, with proof for each. The har

Vercel Labs released agent-desktop, an Apache-2.0 Rust CLI that gives any AI agent computer use on macOS, Windows and Linux by reading OS accessibility trees and acting on stable refs instead of pixels.

I noticed, the bar showing the usage for the 5h-Limit in the settings/usage modal AND the listing of "5h Limit usage" in Claude Code (/usage) is also vanished. This may be the end of the 5h Limit, which is now vanished or is replaced with "all models weekly usage" and "fable weekly usage" only. I don't like the 5h limit, but now i miss it.

Advanced AI models are making it easier than ever to fool the average user.

I'm not naive enough to think that these companies don't already have some internal detection tools, but they clearly are not being used enough. Lately researching anything using agents has been a pain (especially if the query leads up to buying intent) - the sources quoted are often AI slop, which are then used to deterministically argue a point. On the first challenge to logic, the reply is usually an apology followed by a tangential search and agreement on the user argued point - sometimes ev

A malicious ChatGPT share link could run an attacker's code in the logged-in session of anyone who opened it, allowing them to read their private conversations, researchers at the security firm Parameter showed. The researchers reported the flaw through OpenAI's bug bounty program on October 18, and OpenAI fixed it eight days later and rated it P1, its most serious category.

Threat actors are launching about 8,226 network-layer distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks per hour, Cloudflare revealed Thursday.
