Pretty weird that I just instructed a computer to build a whole app for me with a single prompt, but it needed me to click a button to fix a bug. I did anyway, and in 233 seconds Gemini reported back that it had succeeded, using words

On Friday evening, the government ordered Anthropic to block access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all foreign nations, both inside and outside the US, due to national security concerns. That order included employees of Anthropic. To meet those demands, the company has completely cut off access to the models for all customers. In a statement , Anthropic said that while it was complying with the order, the government "did not provide specific details of its national security concern." Instead, it claims that any evidence of potential jailbreak was provided verbally, and that the vulnerabilities discovered were minor and

Echo Isle is heavily inspired by The Legend of Zelda , and it's not afraid to show it: The retro graphics bear a striking resemblance to Link's Awakening , the main character wears a blue tunic and wields a sword, and he navigates dungeons to collect items and keys to fight bosses and gather magical MacGuffins.

The game starts with the main character falling from

iPhone owners are getting real, native AI photo editing for the first time.

But for the iPhone, they represent a tipping point in what the native photos app allows you to do to your photos. I mean memories . I mean, I don't know anymore. These
