‘Eventually the slop will just fall to the bottom’: Garry’s Mod sequel launches to ‘mixed’ reviews, but Garry himself isn’t worried about AI games on the main page

s&box, the successor to Garry's Mod, has been unveiled as an open-source platform aimed at a mature audience, similar to Roblox. It has received a mixed reception on Steam, with many negative reviews citing issues related to AI-generated content. The platform features hastily assembled games, including one titled Terry's Granny (Now with Co-op!). Newman from Facepunch stated that while the studio does not encourage using AI for game creation, they recognize its value as a learning and productivity tool. He emphasized the importance of human creativity and a balanced approach to AI use, suggesting a 50/50 method. Newman mentioned that Facepunch uses AI mainly in early pre-production phases and views it as a tool for learning rather than a replacement for creative processes. He believes that low-quality AI-generated content will eventually be disregarded by users. S&box is now available on Steam for users to explore and contribute to its community.

‘Unlimited Attack Vectors’—All Windows Versions At Risk From New Flaw

Microsoft is facing a significant security vulnerability in its Windows operating system known as PhantomRPC, which allows for privilege escalation. Cybersecurity experts have expressed concern over the company's delayed response in issuing a patch for this flaw. The vulnerability resides within the Windows Remote Procedure Call (RPC) architecture and enables processes with impersonation privileges to elevate their permissions to SYSTEM level. Researcher Haidar Kabibo identified five distinct paths for exploitation, which require user interaction, coercion, or compromise of background services. Despite disclosing the vulnerability to Microsoft in September 2025, the company categorized it as moderately severe and did not issue a patch or a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) listing. Microsoft stated that the technique requires an already-compromised machine and emphasized the importance of following security best practices. Experts have criticized Microsoft's lack of action, arguing that it is operationally negligent and places the burden of risk management on users. In the absence of a patch, security professionals recommend focusing on access control and environmental hygiene to mitigate the risks associated with the vulnerability.

Top 10 Security Suites with VPN Included in 2026

Purchasing a VPN can lead to a minor reduction in internet speed, but advancements like optimized protocols (e.g., WireGuard) have made this less of a concern. Acquiring a comprehensive cybersecurity suite is generally more cost-effective than separate VPN and antivirus software, and these suites are designed to minimize software conflicts. Many well-known security packages, such as Norton and McAfee, offer licenses that cover multiple platforms (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS). While no cybersecurity software is completely impervious to attacks, these suites significantly reduce risk and defend against various threats. It is recommended to enable a VPN when using public Wi-Fi, and many users opt to keep their VPN active continuously for enhanced privacy and security.

“The work we’re doing together remains ambitious”: OpenAI ends Microsoft exclusivity in a tone that doesn’t match last week’s leaked memo

Microsoft and OpenAI have redefined their partnership, ending Microsoft's exclusivity with OpenAI. Microsoft will continue as OpenAI's primary cloud partner, with products launching on Azure first, but OpenAI can now collaborate with other cloud providers if necessary. Key points include: - Microsoft retains its primary cloud partner status, with OpenAI products debuting on Azure unless Microsoft cannot meet capabilities. - OpenAI can distribute products across any cloud platform. - Microsoft's license to OpenAI's intellectual property is non-exclusive and extends through 2032. - Microsoft will no longer share revenue with OpenAI, while OpenAI will continue payments to Microsoft until 2030, capped at a predetermined total. - Microsoft remains a major shareholder in OpenAI. The partnership has faced challenges, including CEO Sam Altman's brief dismissal in late 2023, which displeased Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. OpenAI's revenue chief acknowledged Microsoft's foundational support while indicating constraints on OpenAI's engagement with enterprise demands. Both companies are committed to ongoing collaboration amidst growing competition in the AI landscape.
