FrontierCode v1.1 has surfaced a counterintuitive finding that contradicts what many developers assume about AI coding assistants: Claude Opus 5 at medium reasoning effort delivers nearly the same accuracy as the highest-scoring configurations tested, at ~1.5x baseline compute versus ~3x for high effort. For teams evaluating AI coding benchmarks to optimize their workflows and budgets,…
For the past four years, a sprawling Android-based botnet called Popa has forced millions of consumer TV boxes to relay Internet traffic linked to advertising fraud, account takeovers, and mass data-scraping efforts. This week, researchers from multiple security firms concluded that the Popa botnet is linked to NetNut, a “residential proxy” provider operated by the…
Having a website that doesn’t convert is a little like having a bucket with a hole in it. Do you keep filling it up while the water’s pouring out — or do you fix the hole then add water? In other words, do you channel your budget into attracting people who are “pouring” through without…
Reading OpenAI’s account last week of how some of its models broke their containment and hacked into the computer systems of Hugging Face, another AI company, was the first time I got genuine chills about what large language models are now able to do. But this is a case of human hubris, not rogue AI.
xAI — now officially known as SpaceXAI after the merging of Elon Musk’s two companies – has filed a lawsuit against Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to challenge the state’s new law that would ban apps and websites that can generate nonconsensual intimate images. It would also impose fines on their developers every time people use them…

Two men pleaded guilty in the United Kingdom this week to criminal charges stemming from an August 2024 cyberattack that crippled Transport for London, the entity responsible for the public transport network in the Greater London area. The duo were key members of a prolific cybercrime group known as Scattered Spider, and their guilty pleas…
If you use ChatGPT for your marketing (content ideas, outlines, copy, strategy), you’ve probably run into the same wall: the AI doesn’t know what’s actually ranking. It doesn’t know how competitive a keyword is. It doesn’t know whether 500 monthly searches is high or low for your industry. It doesn’t know if your competitors are…
Railway, a San Francisco-based cloud platform that has quietly amassed two million developers without spending a dollar on marketing, announced Thursday that it raised $100 million in a Series B funding round, as surging demand for artificial intelligence applications exposes the limitations of legacy cloud infrastructure.
