Digital car keys are becoming more sophisticated, allowing owners to share access with others, while AI continues to make strides in coding, but also faces misuse, as highlighted by a judge's ruling. Meanwhile, malicious code in open-source packages has led to cryptocurrency theft, and new wireless earbuds are hitting the market.
The latest version of digital car key specifications allows vehicle owners to text a copy of the key to other people, according to The Verge. This advancement was discussed at the 16th annual Plugfest, hosted by the Car Connectivity Consortium in Palo Alto, California, last month.
In the realm of artificial intelligence, Anthropic researchers utilized 16 instances of the Claude Opus 4.6 AI model to create a C compiler from scratch, as reported by Ars Technica. The project, which involved nearly 2,000 Claude Code sessions and cost approximately $20,000 in API fees, took two weeks to complete. However, the use of AI is not without its challenges. A New York federal judge terminated a case due to an attorney's repeated misuse of AI in drafting filings, including the use of fake citations and overly embellished prose, Ars Technica also reported. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla ruled that the attorney, Steven Feldman, warranted extraordinary sanctions.
Security researchers have also found malicious packages in the npm and PyPI repositories, which stole wallet credentials from dYdX developers and backend systems, leading to cryptocurrency theft, Ars Technica reported. The attack scope includes all applications depending on the compromised versions.
In other news, Wired published a review of wireless earbuds, highlighting the best options for various users. The review featured several models, including the Google Pixel Buds 2a, Apple AirPods Pro 3, Samsung Galaxy Buds3 FE, and Google Pixel Buds Pro 2. The article noted the evolution of wireless earbuds from early models with significant issues to the current market, which offers noise canceling and waterproofing.
