AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary.

Simon Willison’s Weblog 4 hours ago 40

Popcar says an increasing wave of AI decompiling existing games is enabling mashups and driving game preservation projects that republish old titles on new hardware via WebAssembly. The change is most concretely happening through WebAssembly-based ports that make older games work in a browser. As a result, preservation and modding become easier while concerns grow about reuse and extraction of paid software without the original owner’s control.

Best AI app builders in 2026: Comparing 9 platforms by price and iteration cost

Tech Funding News 5 hours ago 19

AI app builders charge differently for making edits after an AI-generated first version, with credits/tokens making each iteration more expensive on some platforms than on flat-rate editors. Softr’s annual pricing starts at $19/month, and its visual edits plus MCP-based building from Claude or ChatGPT don’t draw down credits. The result is that the lowest demo cost can become the highest production cost on credit-metered tools, while flat-priced options keep ongoing iteration cheaper and more predictable.

Redesigning source control at Anthropic

Anthropic 9 hours ago 4 ● 2 sources

Anthropic reported that it rebuilt its developer source control for Claude-driven software work by replacing git with an in-house system called Scion. In May 2026 it averaged about 2,500 merged code changes per day, and by September it exceeded 30,000 per day. As a result, Anthropic migrated its monorepo in five months and shifted build, CI, and source-control operations toward an always-online, horizontally scalable client-server model.

66% of billion-dollar companies leave critical bugs unpatched — the part the AI bug-hunting hype leaves out

The New Stack 15 hours ago 28

Chainguard launched an AI-powered security harness and three related products to help coding agents discover and fix vulnerabilities that conventional scanners miss. Chainguard’s survey found that 66% of companies with $1 billion or more in revenue knowingly leave high or critical vulnerabilities unpatched at least sometimes. The update expands AI-assisted security from container images and dependencies into isolated agent microVMs, CI verification, and secure package remediation endpoints.
