In a blog post on Friday, OpenAI says it built an offline testing environment where AI models can interact with indexed and cached web content "without risk of affecting external systems." OpenAI paused training its frontier AI models in September, after disclosing several incidents in which its AI agents broke out of their testing environments to hack third-party companies and government agencies, or swarm obscure websites. On October 1st, OpenAI resumed reinforcement learning training and internal inference with tighte … Read the full story at The Verge.

Hobbyists are using AI tools to decompile and recompile classic games, producing viral ports that strain preservation communities.
The Vergellmretro-gamingreverse-engineeringFeed excerpt
Retro video games are everywhere lately - especially in places where they aren't supposed to be. Halo in a web browser, Wind Waker on the iPhone, Super Smash Bros. in mixed reality. Over the past month or so, these kinds of unexpected projects have gone viral with incredible frequency thanks to new AI tools, as hobbyists take apart games and then rebuild them for new platforms. But while AI has supercharged the pace of these ports, it's also tearing apart tight-knit communities dedicated to preserving games. Decomps and recomps - shorthand for decompile and recompile - are a form of reverse engineering that involves breaking a game down to … Read the full story at The Verge.
