XBOW, an autonomous penetration tester, has reached the top spot on HackerOne

For the first time in bug bounty history, an autonomous penetration tester has reached the top spot on the US leaderboard. Our path to reaching the top ranks on HackerOne began with rigorous benchmarking. Since the early days of XBOW, we understood how crucial it was to measure our progress, and we did that in two stages: First we tested XBOW with existing CTF challenges (from well-known providers like PortSwigger and Pentesterlab), then quickly moved on and built our own unique benchmark that

Judge OKs Anthropic's Use of Copyrighted Books in AI Training. That's Bad News for Creators

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-06 12:36:22

Anthropic's use of copyright-protected books in its AI training process was "exceedingly transformative" and fair use, US senior district judge William Alsup ruled on Monday. It's the first time a judge has decided in favor of an AI company on the issue of fair use, in a significant win for generative AI companies and a blow for creators. Fair use is a doctrine that's part of US copyright law. It's a four-part test that, when the criteria is met, lets people and companies use protected content

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-06 13:56:58

Artificial intelligence companies don't need permission from authors to train their large language models (LLMs) on legally acquired books, US District Judge William Alsup ruled Monday. The first-of-its-kind ruling that condones AI training as fair use will likely be viewed as a big win for AI companies, but it also notably put on notice all the AI companies that expect the same reasoning will apply to training on pirated copies of books—a question that remains unsettled.

Federal judge William Alsup ruled that it was legal for Anthropic to train its AI models on published books without the authors’ permission. This marks the first time that the courts have given credence to AI companies’ claim that fair use doctrine can absolve AI companies from fault when they use copyrighted materials to train large language models (LLMs).

Sometimes when people talk about a problem in society, they strongly imply that most people are stupid. This is wrong. Most people aren’t super knowledgeable about a lot of specific facts about the world (only half of Americans can name the 3 branches of government) but they’re intelligent when it comes to their own lives and the areas they work and spend time in.

How a data-processing problem at Lyft became the basis for Eventual

When Eventual founders Sammy Sidhu and Jay Chia were working as software engineers at Lyft’s autonomous vehicle program, they witnessed a brewing data infrastructure problem — one that would only become larger with the rise of AI. Self-driving cars produce a ton of unstructured data from 3D scans and photos to text and audio. There wasn’t a tool for Lyft engineers that could understand and process all of those different types of data at the same time — and all in one place. This left engineers
