GTA 6 Cyberleek update: Leaker linked GTA 6 reveals to crypto play. It’s crashing spectacularly. - Mashable

As Mashable and our colleagues at PCMag just reported, Grand Theft Auto VI leakers Cyberleek have seemingly abandoned their threats to leak a full build of the game – at least for now. Why? Because the leakers had claimed that the release of the leaked build was tied to their memecoin. If GTA 6 fans pumped Cyberleek's cryptocurrency, they would receive the leaked game build as a reward. That play failed spectacularly for Cyberleek. In fact, it seems to have fully backfired. The Cyberleek memecoin's market cap hit a high of $7.8 million on October 11, shortly after the leakers claimed they would release the full build of GTA 6 supposedly in their possession. The catch? The Cyberleek memecoin had to hit a market cap of $30 million first.

AI Vibe-Coding Just Hit The Video Game Industry Like An Avalanche - Kotaku

If you’re sick of hearing the words “vibe-coded” and “Claude,” trust me, you’re not alone. Unfortunately, the recent vibe-coding craze is a newsworthy topic, because the sudden surge in web browser “ports,” the Skate 3-inside-Modern Warfare 2-style mash-up mods, the “native” Nintendo Switch PC “ports,” and almost all of those recent PlayStation jailbreaking advancements can all be tied back to the release of Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5.5 update on September 22. As much as I hate writing about it and most of you hate reading about it, the truth of the matter is that we’re not the ones getting the short end of the stick here. Whether you love ‘em or hate ‘em, video game publishers are the ones grappling with the impact of these advancements right now. Case in point, news of Claude Opus 5.5’s latest capabilities has become so difficult to ignore that Xbox CEO Asha Sharma addressed the recent web-browser ports in an Xbox Wire blog post earlier this week. Publishers are also painfully aware of Opus 5.5’s ability to expedite the decompilation and recompilation of video game source code.

Are you a creature or a machine? How to live in ecological community in a time of AI - Yahoo News Canada

We have been bombarded in recent weeks with apocalyptic headlines about "artificial super-intelligence" and the possibilities of a new era of "artificial general intelligence" (AGI) in which AI achieves human capacities for reason and learning. Concerns vary from its misuse in bioterrorism to the capacity of AI agents to form collectives, "go rogue" and perform unauthorized attacks on systems, or even to take over the internet and terminate humanity. Read more: How an OpenAI safety test became a real-world cyberattack on the Hugging Face platformWendell Berry stands before the solar panels on his farm in Henry County, KY. (Guy Mendes), CC BY-SAAs a scholar interested in public memory, I find myself returning to the writing of Wendell Berry in response as a source of wisdom for these turbulent times. Berry, who died at home in August, was a cultural critic, writer, farmer, environmentalist and an early influence on my thinking. His book, Life is a miracle: An essay against modern superstition reads as an eerie letter to the purveyors of AI. For Berry, the mind was shaped by its place in the world, the textures of the local, a sense of home and a notion of history.

Apple TV 4K 2022 vs. 2026 Buyer's Guide: All Differences Compared - MacRumors

Apple announced the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K earlier this week, introducing the A19 chip, built-in microphones for hands-free Siri, four-speaker HomePod surround sound, and an updated ‌Siri‌ Remote.
