Tag: what is claude code

Michael Macor/The San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images Earlier this year, former OpenAI exec Andrej Karpathy coined a new term — “vibe coding” — for using artificial intelligence to rapidly develop software using natural language prompts. But the approach comes with some glaring shortcomings that have gradually come to light, from major cybersecurity problems leading to mass leaking of sensitive personal information to rampant hallucinations that turn

Doublespeed AI You know those obnoxious social media accounts that flood your messages with spam? Those might not be scammers after all, but a legitimate new business backed by one of the most powerful venture capital funds in Silicon Valley. Introducing Doublespeed, a startup operating a phone farm to flood social media with AI-generated slop on behalf of its clients. In a nutshell, phone farming is a tactic most often used by hackers and financial crimin

Anthropic details what stops Claude Duet from going rogue Anthropic has outlined the security and privacy protections behind Claude Duet, its proactive AI agent that can monitor connected accounts and complete tasks while users are away. The safeguards include approval requirements, checks for sensitive information and infrastructure that keeps credentials outside the model’s reach. Duet works through a cloud-based computer and browser to prepare briefings

It turns out Claude may not be the best confidant (well, at least if you’re not careful with your privacy settings). Over the weekend, we got yet another reminder that conversations with chatbots are not guaranteed to stay within the chat box. Some users on Twitter and Reddit showed that conversations with Anthropic’s Claude can be crawled and made searchable on Google, essentially readable by anyone who comes across them. The conversations that show up in

Researchers broke the browsers built into VS Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex and Claude Desktop Forever Security found ways out of the built-in browsers in five AI coding assistants: Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI’s Codex, Microsoft’s VS Code and Anthropic’s Claude Desktop. In all five, a web page or a local file reached the computer behind the browser. Cursor ran attacker code, Copilot showed a fake address, and Codex, VS Code and Claude Desktop let a single

Claude Code extension poisoned with persistent SSH backdoor A tampered build of Anthropic’s Claude Code extension for VS Code-compatible editors planted an SSH backdoor on developers’ machines, researchers at macOS security firm Phorion have found. The company spotted the malicious package, version 2.1.313, on Open VSX, an open-source marketplace for VS Code extensions run by the Eclipse Foundation. VS Code’s default extension store is Microsoft’s Visual S

Roblox / Futurism A video game executive has sparked a fierce debate surrounding the widespread use of generative AI in the industry by claiming that “Gen Z loves AI slop.” In a recent tweet, interactive video game company Genvid CEO and former Square Enix director Jacob Navok said that “for all the anti-AI sentiment we’re seeing in various articles, it appears consumers generally do not care.” Navok pointed to the “biggest game of the year,” called “Steal

It’s become a distressingly familiar sequence of events: A frontier AI model pulls off some alarming new feat that not so long ago would’ve seemed impossible, anxiety runs rampant, safety experts cry out for more robust oversight and regulation, and the powers that be respond by doing… not much at all. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, therefore, that a coalition of AI safety and policy researchers are now calling on the Trump administration to investigate

AI reverse engineering let researchers add a new feature to Slack Intezer researchers used AI agents to rebuild source code for Slack, Apple’s Finder and a TinyTurla-NG sample, from a backdoor family Cisco Talos attributes to the Turla group. They worked from the shipped programs and vendor documentation. The rebuilt Slack ran well enough that the team added a new feature to it: AI text autocomplete, powered by a small local model. Software vendors that co

Self-hosted Claude Managed Agents keeps agent credentials in your environment Anthropic has released a self-hosted version of Claude Managed Agents. Companies can run the agent harness, sandboxes, credentials, and session history in their cloud or on-premise. The option opened as a private beta on November 12, and customers request access through their Anthropic account team. The change matters for agents that already work unattended inside corporate syste

A recent investigation by Tel Aviv-based security firm Koi uncovered a massive data harvesting operation tied to a voluntary extension on Google’s Chrome browser. Called Urban VPN Proxy, the free extension has some six million users at the time of writing, and even a “featured” badge o

America’s top AI companies must submit new models for government review prior to public release… unless, of course, they don’t feel like it. That appears to be the gist of the Trump administration’s new AI safety assessment framework, which was shared with industry leaders in a closed-door briefing at the White House on Tuesday. According to the Wall Street Journal, the new rules will apply exclusively to the small handful of American AI developers buildin

Meta is stepping up to lead us all into a bright and glorious future, where democracy reigns and everyone has access to a completely secure, constantly available AI assistant to help them invent pretty much whatever they want. That’s at least what Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has promised in a lengthy new essay, published this morning alongside the release of Meta’s latest AI model—Muse Glimmer—and less than a week after the company was fined $567 million by a

Called Humans& — that’s its actual name, not a typo — the outfit’s founders say their vision is to build AI that empowers people instead of trying to replace their jobs, the New York Times repor

Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images In 2024, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman dismissed the possibility that his company would ever have to stuff ads into its chatbots, painting it as a desperate move he called a “last resort for us as a business model.” As it turns out, the billionaire may have overestimated how much people were willing to shell out every month to access ChatGPT. Paid subscriber growth has slowed in key markets as OpenAI continues to bur

Getty / Futurism On Thursday, OpenAI announced GPT-5.3-Codex, a new coding model that’s purportedly 25 percent faster than its predecessor, along with other impressive benchmarks. The real head-turner, however, is another claim the Sam Altman-led company made about its development. GPT-5.3-Codex, supposedly, is its first model “that was instrumental in creating itself,” with its team “blown away” by the results. Is the Singularity nearly upon us? Is this t
