Hey everyone! Wanted to show off a little side project I've been working on. A lot of people have been using AI to one-shot games, but they're often quite buggy - glitchy graphics, collisions aren't setup, or regressions in earlier levels. With an AI playtester in the loop, I've been able to one-shot games like Candy Crush or Crossy Road that would previously have bugs like cut-off UIs or stuck retries. The way it works basically goes like this: 1/ The playtester starts by reading the code to understand what its parent AI is asking it to play, and to decide what breakpoints, hooks and logging…
During my last FOR610 session, a student asked me if I had some statistics in mind about the compilers used to generate malicious PE files? A couple of months ago, I shared some stats about the trend in 64bits VS. 32bits malware[1]. Can we go a bit further? I (vibe-)coded a Python script based on the pefile library[2] to extract some info from the PE headers. Indeed, the PE file format contains a lot of metadata! They can be accessed using a lot of tools, like Detect It Easy:

Disclosure: This is a device that I made that I am selling. I built the Clip-Boy for DC34 and ran out of badges before I ran out of people who wanted one, so I'm doing a second production run. It's an ESP32-S3 with a 2.8" capacitive touchscreen, VL53L5CX time-of-flight sensor, 8 addressable RGB LEDs, SAO v1.69bis (without GPIO1/2), powered by a 2200mAh LiPo. The 2 PCBs were designed in EasyEDA. This second run has the same base firmware as the initial production run, while the 3D-printed enclosures have different colored trims. I'm still in high school, so all profits will continue to go towa…

Anthropic argued designation as ‘supply chain risk’ could cost the company billions of dollars in lost business and reputational harm A US federal judge ruled Thursday that sanctions imposed in February by the Trump administration against AI giant Anthropic were illegal, finding that the government had punished the artificial intelligence company for publicly criticising the Pentagon. “The empty invocation of national security is not a blank check to punish and retaliate against government critics,” Judge Rita Lin said in a 59-page decision.

The AI startup has been at loggerheads with the Pentagon over the use of AI by the US military.
On Thursday, a judge ruled that the Pentagon's blacklisting of Anthropic earlier this year was unconstitutional, delivering the AI lab a win in a monthslong rollercoaster of a battle with the Trump administration. The lawsuit, filed in March in a California district court, accused the Trump administration of unlawfully retaliating against Anthropic for setting "red […]
A federal judge has called the Department of Defense’s designation of Anthropic as a national security supply-chain risk “illegal and baseless.”
