Rive Brings Reusable 2D UI Into Unreal Engine
- Rive's Unreal Engine integration brings interactive 2D UI authoring directly into game and broadcast pipelines.
- Designers can build once in Rive and reuse the animated UI across Unreal Engine, websites, apps, HUDs, and dashboards for consistent cross-platform UX.
Anthropic Alleges Industrial Distillation Attack On Claude
- Anthropic accused DeepSeek, Moonshot AI and Minimax of creating 24,000 fake accounts and 16 million exchanges to distill Claude's capabilities into smaller models.
- The hosts debated ethics and national security claims, noting the same scraping dynamics apply across many AI labs and datasets.

- Distillation (learning from a big model's outputs) can accelerate smaller model development and remove safeguards, raising geopolitical and safety concerns.
- Public reaction on X highlighted hypocrisy and the difficulty of proving 'ethical' data sourcing across the industry.
