A developer has rebuilt seven Adobe apps — including Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere Pro — using AI and the Rust programming language. The free, open-source versions run on macOS, Windows, Linux, and in browsers, though they remain in alpha and have no connection to Adobe. The projects have earned about 79,000 stars on GitHub, and each app can be controlled by AI agents like Claude.
Key Takeaways
- AI rebuilt 7 Adobe apps in Rust and released them free on GitHub with 79,000 stars
- Apps are in alpha and not affiliated with Adobe
- AI agents like Claude can control the rebuilt applications
AI rebuilt 7 Adobe apps and released them for free
A developer used AI to rebuild seven Adobe apps in Rust, including Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere Pro. The apps are free, open source and work on macOS, Windows, Linux and in browsers. They are still in alpha stage and not connected to Adobe. The projects gained about 79,000 stars on GitHub. Each app can also be controlled by AI agents like Claude.
Hack The Box launches AI Range to test cybersecurity agents
Hack The Box launched AI Range Enterprise Edition to measure how well AI agents perform cybersecurity tasks. The tool gives role-based scores and pass-or-fail results for agents over time. It also evaluates human professionals through AI-augmented roles like SOC analyst and penetration tester. Leaders can see where agents succeed and where human oversight is still needed. New roles for other cybersecurity jobs are planned.
Peter Thiel says AI critics use fear for popularity
Billionaire investor Peter Thiel accused Barack Obama and Pope Leo XIV of using public fear of AI to gain popularity. He made the comments during closed-door lectures in Nashville. Thiel also warned about a possible one world government using regulation to limit technology. He described a threat from leaders who promise stability while restricting freedom. Other figures like Elon Musk and Sam Altman also spoke about AI risks.
Samsung to build in-house GPU for on-device AI by 2027
Samsung Electronics plans to develop its own GPU for on-device AI products by 2027. The move comes as memory demand for AI-powered robots is expected to grow 20 times by 2030. Samsung and SK Hynix are positioned to benefit from this trend. The growth is driven by higher capacity needs and edge-computing requirements.
Pat Gelsinger warns hardware limits AI progress
Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said hardware advances have driven most AI progress through deep learning. He warned that current improvements are not sustainable. Gelsinger called for new ways to improve performance and efficiency by rethinking the physics of computing. He stressed that hardware will play a critical role in AI's future development. The comments came in an interview on the a16z show.
Slow down AI deployment to protect workers and society
A letter to the editor urges society to slow the rollout of artificial intelligence. The writer warns that AI could eliminate jobs, enable harmful uses like weapons or disinformation, and create unclear accountability. The author argues that careful planning is needed so AI benefits everyone.
Software developer jobs rise even as AI writes more code
U.S. software development job postings have risen nearly 15% since February 2025, when Anthropic's Claude Code launched. AI tools now write close to half of all code on GitHub, but companies still need developers to oversee, refine, and integrate AI-generated work. Demand is growing for experienced workers while job opportunities for recent graduates have fallen nearly 20% since 2024.
Crypto experts fear AI could crack blockchain and steal funds
Ethereum researcher Justin Drake and others warn that advanced AI could one day break the math protecting blockchain wallets. Vitalik Buterin says AI may become a bigger threat than quantum computers but advises against panicked wallet migrations. Experts remain divided on how immediate the danger is, though some AI-assisted crypto attacks have already exploited old software bugs.
Protect American data from being used by China, writers say
An opinion piece argues that American AI progress should not come at the cost of personal data being accessed by foreign adversaries. The authors urge clear rules about what data companies collect, how it is shared, and whether it could reach countries like China. They call for stronger privacy protections, national security safeguards, and federal standards to keep sensitive information safe.
