How Modders Used AI to Turn the PS5 Into a PC App

On August 3rd, an open-source GitHub project called anyPS5 set out to do what normally takes software engineers a decade: force PlayStation 5 games to run natively on Windows PCs. Instead of writing every line of code by hand, contributors used autonomous AI coding agents across more than 400 pull requests to translate thousands of undocumented Sony operating system functions in a matter of weeks. Here is the forensic breakdown of how machine-learning automation cracked Sony’s $500 walled garden, why a microscopic math error between AMD and Intel chips crashed the code, and the one hardware encryption lock still standing in the way.

Indie game website itch.io expands its “critically lacking” AI disclosure filter as ‘AI slop’ continues to overwhelm Steam and other storefronts

This change comes shortly after itch.io also revealed the number of game pages being made on the website each day had doubled in the past two months. And, of course, the number of games downloaded and purchases have not doubled to match this new supply.

Itch.io is also facing issues linked to the sheer file size. The storefront has a terms of service policy against AI spam, which it cited shortly after it publicly announced “a couple terabytes of AI slop” had been deleted.

This change comes as the industry as a whole has been clogged with an influx of AI games. Steam Next Fest had a record-breaking number of demo submissions last month. Developers pulled demos in fear of their game being copied, and with Steam saying it’s the developer’s responsibility to make their games less copyable.

Scientists Just Cured Paranoia with Ultrasound

Scientists at NYU Langone aimed focused ultrasound at a structure deep in the brain, and a single ten-minute session made delusions measurably less intense for at least a week in ten patients with schizophrenia.

Fingernail-sized chip untangles mixed light into clean beams

Stanford engineers and colleagues designed a chip that can take a muddled mixture of light from multiple lasers and output clean beams of light. It’s the first time researchers have demonstrated a device that can take in mixed, or partially coherent, light and sort its photons into a clear set of separate beams.

The finding, published in Nature Photonics, grounds long-theorized physics while unlocking a unique way of observing the world around us, with potential uses in microscopy, astronomy and more fields.

“We’re experimentally demonstrating stuff that was thought of originally in the 1980s for the first time,” said co-lead author Annie Kroo, a Ph.D. student in electrical engineering. “This work has a huge bearing on a whole bunch of different applications because it allows us to think about things in a totally new way.”
