WIRED reports that Meta approved and ran over 50 ads containing AI-generated child sexual abuse material across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Threads between November 2025 and early August 2026, with some reaching several thousand accounts in the US, UK, and Europe. Researchers at the Tech Transparency Project found the ads in Meta's own ad library, many linking to 'nudify' apps, with some specifically targeting men and running for several days before removal.

Back in 2022 I tweeted screenshots of a game concept generated by GPT-3 and some concept "art" created using DALL-E. Today, on the fourth anniversary of that tweet, I decided to see if Claude Fable 5 (running in Claude Code for web) could build the entire game from the content of that tweet. It did a pretty good job of it! You can play the game here. Here's the GitHub repo, and a short video demo: Your browser does not support HTML5 video. How I built this This is the August 5th, 2022 tweet: My GPT-3 prompt back then was: Write a detailed product description of a computer game where a team of raccoons go on heists. This was in the text completion days, where you asked GPT-3 to complete the rest of the text. It completed: In "Raccoon Heist", you and your team of thieving raccoons are tasked with pulling off a series of daring heists. From robbing banks to stealing priceless art, no job is too big or too small for your furry crew. You'll need to use your wits and your skills to avoid the police and make a clean getaway with the loot. With exciting gameplay and a charming cast of characters, "Raccoon Heist" is the perfect game for anyone looking for a light-hearted caper. My prompt to DALL-E was short: Screenshot from a video game where a team of raccoons go on a heist Today's experiment: can I dump those screenshots into Fable 5 with a prompt telling it to write a game, then leave it to its own devices and get a working game at the end? Setting Claude Code for web up to use GitHub Pages A frustrating thing about Claude Code for web is that it can be hard to test what it's working on while it's still working. I've been using GitHub Pages to work around that limitation, and found it to work really well. Here's my process: Create a new repository for the project at https://github.com/new - this can be public or private, the trick works equally well for both. Start a Claude Code for web session, in the Claude iPhone or Desktop apps or in the browser at https://claude.ai/code Tell Claude what to work on, and encourage it to commit an index.html page as quickly as possible. This will create a branch with a name like claude/3d-raccoon-heist-game-50n293 Navigate to the Settings -> Pages area for the repository (github.com/simonw/raccoon-heist/settings/pages in my case), select "Deploy from a branch", pick the branch name, and hit Save. That's all it takes! Within about 30 seconds of each push the latest content will be visible at yourname.github.io/your-repo/. If you do this with a private repo, anyone who can guess the name of the repo will be able to view the published content. I don't worry much about this myself. The Fable 5 prompt Here's the prompt I gave Fable 5 (written in the notes app on my phone - this entire project was conducted on mobile). I accompanied it with the two images from the original tweet. Build this 3D game, for the browser. This repo is configured to serve static files so make sure there is an index.html that loads everything e

Google's AI divisions are getting reshuffled, the search giant announced on Wednesday.

Microsoft's CoreAI EVP Jay Parikh issued an internal memo directing developers working on AI coding projects to default to OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol model, citing better value from token spend. Microsoft offers cloud customers 11,000+ models from multiple vendors but is consolidating internal usage around OpenAI's flagship.

A macOS ClickFix operation spanning more than 250 front-end domains now fingerprints visitors before deciding whether to show them a malware lure, a change Microsoft Threat Intelligence tracked on infrastructure it had been watching for weeks. The server-side gate hides the malicious page from crawlers and sandboxes while presenting selected Mac users with a fake software download. Microsoft

Fogus reflects on why niche hobby programming communities—OSDev, LangDev, EmuDev, the demoscene, code golfers, chess engine developers—are increasingly hostile to LLM-assisted coding. The core tension: these communities value the hard-won process of mastering a difficult domain as the product itself, not the running code. LLM practitioners who lack deep domain understanding and burst in seeking easy cachet poison the well, while the communities see LLM-generated code as 'robbing the craft' rather than earning respect through years of genuine curiosity and knowledge-sharing.

OpenAI said it disrupted a Cambodia-based scam operation that used its generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT to facilitate a wide range of investment, romance, gambling, and law enforcement impersonation schemes. To that end, it banned a coordinated network of ChatGPT accounts likely originating from Southeast Asia and operating from the city of Poipet, a region with extensive

The Kids Online Safety Act, a measure aimed at protecting children on social media, advanced to the Senate floor after it stalled in the last Congress.

Castform and Neon demonstrate that a 4B open-source model, post-trained with reinforcement learning on retrieval tasks, matches the accuracy of GPT-5.6 Sol while costing 100x less per request. The approach uses Neon's Lakebase Search extensions for corpus storage and synthetic data generation, then RL-trains the small model to do agentic multi-hop search instead of relying on expensive frontier model API calls.

Reports of cases began in June, and the national tally is now nearing 23,000.
