Sam Altman says that bots are making social media feel ‘fake’

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-11-01 01:24:42

X enthusiast and Reddit shareholder Sam Altman had an epiphany on Monday: Bots have made it impossible to determine whether social media posts are really written by humans, he posted. The realization came while reading (and sharing) some posts from the r/Claudecode subreddit, which were praising OpenAI Codex. OpenAI launched the software programming service that takes on Anthropic’s Claude Code in May. Lately, that subreddit has been so filled with posts from self-proclaimed Code users announc

Netskope follows Rubrik as a rare cybersecurity IPO, both backed by Lightspeed

techcrunch.com Marina Temkin 2025-11-01 01:35:58

Cybersecurity is a massive sector, but startups in the category are more likely to be acquired than go public. Even Wiz, which for a time held the title of the fastest-growing startup, abandoned its IPO ambitions when it agreed to sell to Google earlier this year. In the past few years, there have been scant few significant cybersecurity debuts such as SentinelOne in 2021, and Rubrik last year. Next week, the sector is expected to add one more public company: the cloud cybersecurity platform N

Computing’s Top 30: Nipun Jaswal

computer.org Laurel Tweed 2025-11-01 03:00:15

To keep his edge, international cybersecurity expert Nipun Jaswal does more than stay up on current security threats and trends; he literally keeps his hands in the game, regularly coding—in up to 10 different languages—and doing lab work including exploring attack vectors and hunkering down with disassemblers and debuggers. Remaining “deeply technical” is not just part of his practice, it’s also fundamental to his leadership philosophy, which centers on staying curious and “close to the core o

An ex-Meta employee sued the social media company on Monday over allegations that its WhatsApp messaging service contained "systemic cybersecurity failures" that potentially compromise user privacy. Attaullah Baig, WhatsApp's former head of security, alleged that Meta retaliated against him after he notified leaders, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg, of security issues at the messaging app. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, claims that after joining W

OpenAI Says It's Making a Full Hollywood Movie Using AI

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-01 04:15:29

OpenAI has teamed up with production companies in London and Los Angeles to create a feature-length animated movie made largely with artificial intelligence. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the purported goal of using AI tech on the movie is to speed up production while also saving costs — and, presumably, serving as a giant tech demo for movie execs everywhere. The film will invite comparisons to the early days of CGI-animated movies in the mid-1990s. Funded heavily by Apple cofounder Ste

Programmers Using AI Create Way More Glaring Security Issues, Data Shows

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-01 05:09:57

Artificial intelligence has notorious problems with accuracy — so maybe it's not surprising that using it as a coding assistant creates more security problems, too. As a security firm called Apiiro found in new research, developers who used AI produce ten times more security problems than their counterparts who don't use the technology. Looking at code from thousands of developers and tens of thousand repositories, Apiiro found that AI-assisted devs were indeed producing three or four times mo

Once that old laptop or printer stops working, you need to get rid of it. However, that can be easier said than done.
