Visual artists want to protect their work from non-consensual use by generative AI tools such as ChatGPT. But most of them do not have the technical know-how or control over the tools needed to do so.Visual artists want to protect their work from non-consensual use by generative AI tools such as ChatGPT.

Crack the code to startup traction with insights from Chef Robotics, NEA, and ICONIQ at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025
Finding product-market fit isn’t a milestone — it’s a messy, make-or-break journey. And at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, a founder who’s been through the fire and two investors who’ve helped startups hit escape velocity will break down how to do it right. On the Builders Stage, Rajat Bhageria (Founder & CEO, Chef Robotics), Ann Bordetsky (Partner, […]Finding product-market fit isn’t a milestone — it’s a messy, make-or-break journey.

M.C. Escher’s artwork is a gateway into a world of depth-defying optical illusions, featuring “impossible objects” that break the laws of physics with convoluted geometries. What you perceive his illustrations to be depends on your point of view—for example, a person seemingly walking upstairs may be heading down the steps if you tilt your head sideways.M.C.

A top designer was banned from Dribbble. Now he’s building his own competitor.
Dribbble is enforcing its terms of service that lets it take a cut of designers’ work, and kicking out those who don’t comply. One top designer has had enough, and is building his own startup instead.Dribbble is enforcing its terms of service that lets it take a cut of designers’ work, and kicking out those who don’t comply.

A code-reuse attack named coroutine frame-oriented programming (CFOP) is capable of exploiting C++ coroutines across three major compilers, namely Clang/LLVM, GCC and MSVC. CFOP even succeeds in environments that are protected by control flow integrity (CFI), exposing relevant gaps in 15 of these defense schemes.A code-reuse attack named coroutine frame-oriented programming (CFOP) is capable of exploiting C++ coroutines across three major compilers, namely Clang/LLVM, GCC and MSVC.

New vulnerabilities have emerged with the rapid advancement and adoption of multimodal foundational AI models, significantly expanding the potential for cybersecurity attacks. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have put forward a novel framework that identifies adversarial threats to foundation models—artificial intelligence approaches that seamlessly integrate and process text and image data. This work empowers system developers and security experts to better understand model vulnerabilities and reinforce resilience against ever more sophisticated attacks.New vulnerabilities have emerged with the rapid advancement and adoption of multimodal foundational AI models, significantly expanding the potential for cybersecurity attacks.
