AI is now picking where a mountaineer should step next.
The footage scans rocky ground in real time, checking grip and slope to mark safe footholds and reject loose ones.

Attacking non-critical consumer-facing infrastructure - like grocery stores - with pre-warned and limited scope cyber attacks is the best way to convince your population they need to harden their society.
It's really classic Ender's Game - you only get to use the weapon once, it has to destroy the enemy completely.
Real catastrophe is not spoiling meat, its multi-megawatt turbines that go beyond safe RPM, critical valves in chemical refining that report the wrong position, air traffic control networks.
Destruction of hard infrastructure that is replaceable on a year-to-decade timescale. Like a water treatment plant, transformer station, airport, and so on.
Food is the most high throughput thing in our society besides gasoline. It has a residency time of a few days on shelves, and so any total loss of inventory is recoverable on the scale of a week.
UPDATE: The European refrigeration cyberattack has now reached Italy and Romania, bringing the total to at least 10 countries affected across Europe.
In Italy, several Coop stores in Sicily were hit, including at least three in Catania and one in Palermo. In Romania, at least six stores have reportedly been affected.
Some affected businesses have yet to publicly disclose the incidents, meaning the actual number of countries and locations impacted could be even higher.
The full scale of this cyberattack remains unknown.
Countries affected so far: 🇸🇪 Sweden 🇧🇪 Belgium 🇱🇺 Luxembourg 🇪🇪 Estonia 🇮🇪 Ireland 🇳🇱 Netherlands 🇫🇮 Finland 🇩🇰 Denmark 🇮🇹 Italy 🇷🇴 Romania

"This is clearly how it ends. The machine just recursively optimizes its own weights"
the paper's lead author: "I think so too. Not just own weights. Any other weights!"
GPT-6 Astra edited 0.016% of Qwen3.5-0.8B's weights and took its math score from 7.9% to 48.1%, with ZERO gradients
instead of fine-tuning, it traced the model's reasoning loops to one direction inside two layers and edited those exact weights directly
it even wrote a Breakout network from scratch, no data and no training, that scored 517 while PPO trained for 500M steps scored 25
plenty of labs have talked about RSI, but this is the first real sign of it I've seen
we're entering a very scary new era, AI is starting to improve AI
We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math.
It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training.
We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵

For anyone saying they’ll never disconnect the internet in a worldwide digital lockdown due to a manufactured cyber attack because they need the internet. Uh, yeah. They’ll never disconnect it for THEM. For us, though? Per the WEF, we’ll need a “digital vaccine” to get back online.

something fundamentally broke in the market this week, things aren't adding up:
- elon is winding down grok bot due to poor ROI despite having lots of available compute + demand
- Sam altman reportedly slashed openai's valuation to $1.25T and cut the fundraise from $30 to $20B
- anthropic's operating profit has now flipped negative due to massive compute bills despite overwhelming demand for their models.
- Lumentum sold to Marvell despite having sold out its product till 2029 on record profits...
- Intel is down a staggering 42% in 4 days despite supplying the #1 hardware needed to run ai agents
- lenders are refusing to let neoclouds borrow money. if they do they're at extortionate rates.
- every single company reporting record positive earnings has dumped (including Apple today)
$3.46 TRILLION has been wiped out from AI stocks in October.
1. Intel: -43.4%
2. Coreweave: -37.7%
3. Nebius: -36.7%
4. SanDisk: -33.4%
5. Seagate: -30%
6. Marvell: -25.8%
7. Dell: -22.3%

When slowing down makes you faster...(& smoother...)
ADB (Autonomous Decentralized Bearing) is a patented technology developed by Sosuke Kawashima (Coo Space Co., Ltd.)
By introducing a small indent into the outer race of a deep groove ball bearing, the balls become self distributing & non-contacting without the need of a cage.
Translation: the balls don't bump into one another so no cage is required, which then means sliding friction is virtually eliminated, energy consumption is reduced by over 90%, and no lubrication is necessary.
That precise indentation I mentioned slightly decelerates and then accelerates each ball back to full speed as it passes over it. A small gap is thus created between the balls due to this change in speed. Any incidental contact between the balls acts as a restorative force, effectively transferring momentum between them and ensuring uniform spacing naturally.
Pretty cool stuff (and so very simple) in other words.
This technology is currently touted as being applied in deep sea & competition skate/bike/wheelchair cases, but seems like a prime candidate for any super low friction, demanding environment, and/or long life applications.

I warned you all about this.
They will be lying. The actual goal of the big AI providers will be to outlaw open-source and open-weight AI in order to create a regulatory moat around their business, and have some hope of earning out their astronomical capital expenditures.
The claims will be about safety and equity, the reality will be a money and power grab. Brace for the bullshit avalanche that's coming.
🚨BREAKING: OpenAI is preparing a policy and PR blitz immediately after Tuesday’s midterm elections, Axios reports. As public backlash against data centers grows, it wants to rebrand them as “AI compute campuses” and push Congress for mandatory “speed limits” on the most powerful AI systems. It has been stockpiling proposals since August.
OpenAI is also preparing for the possibility of Democrats taking the House and wants to shape the debate ahead of the 2028 presidential race. Its chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane told Axios: “AI is going to be the issue in 2028.”

If you're running Ubuntu or Red Hat on a public server and cannot patch this yet the solution is:
sudo sysctl -w net.mptcp.enabled=0
‼️ Ubuntu and Red Hat still have no fix for a Linux kernel flaw that Anthropic says its unreleased AI model turned into a remote root exploit.
The bug, CVE-2026-98432, is a use-after-free in the IPv4 TCP handshake, rated 9.8 out of 10.
The exploit needs no credentials and targets servers with a multipath TCP listener, which Go 1.24 and later open by default.
The fix reached stable kernels on 11 October and Debian has shipped it. Ubuntu still marks every release from 16.04 to 26.10 vulnerable.
Red Hat now rates it Critical but has no patched kernel for RHEL 8, 9 or 10.
Anthropic has not released the exploit. By its count, it takes 48 minutes to leak a kernel pointer and five more to run commands as root.

Last time the market didn't properly sell off after a huge event like this was the FTX collapse
When I saw the lack of follow through then I got giga bullish
And we subsequently went from 16k to 100k
Hard to be bearish here after having been given the same setup yet again
Krumlar retweeted
Hard to overstate how big of a deal this is.
tl;dr — ANY unpatched Linux server with even a single TCP port exposed to the internet (say for HTTP or SSH) and MPTCP active (default for many Go web servers) is vulnerable to complete takeover.

It is extremely likely that Hyperliquid will be exploited in the next 7 days.
I highly recommend not leaving funds that you cannot afford to lose on Hyperliquid for the time being.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just got a phishing email that Gmail authenticated as Google. DKIM/DMARC passed. I can see a lot of people falling for this one, since it plays to the idea that your account has already been compromised.
Scammer puts the scam in an app-password name, triggers a real Google alert, then forwards the alert email to your email address.
How this attack works, and why it’s convincing:
1. The trick: The attacker puts the threatening text and shortened URL into an app password’s customizable name on another account. Google incorporates that text into a real security notification and signs the email.
2. The delivery: That notification is forwarded through another mailbox to the victim. In this message, Gmail still recorded passing Google DKIM and DMARC authentication.
3. What makes it convincing: The Google sender, signature, branding, and “Check activity” button are legitimate. The suspected attacker-supplied text appears inside the same trusted-looking template, using a deadline to push you toward its separate link.
4. The giveaway: Both the notification and its genuine Google button refer to someone else’s account. The “permanent access after 24 hours” claim is false; app passwords can be revoked.
Be careful out there folks!

It’s like the screenwriters aren’t even trying anymore. Literally just giving the audience the same copypasta from the 2022 season.
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

Most people still haven't let reality sink in. The "future of cyber attacks" isn't some kid in his basement running ChatGPT scripts hoping to find a lucky opening….
No the future is North Korean operatives getting hired onto a major tech company's SysOps team and working there for months behind hyper-realistic AI avatars and cloned voices…backed by multimillion-dollar server farms running fully abliterated models trained for the sole purpose of breaking defenses.
Or it's an attacker sitting at root level inside the IoT security camera on your office wall watching your screen
Or it's a single email with hidden instructions that your company's own AI assistant reads before quietly sending your internal files out the door without a single click
Or it's a video call where your CFO and three coworkers tell you to wire $25M…except none of them are real.
Or it's your CEO's cloned voice calling the IT help desk at 6am, asking to reset his login because he's "locked out before a board meeting."
Or it's an AI that studied years of your team's Slack messages and now writes phishing emails that sound exactly like your boss sent to every employee at once.
It's a different game…and most companies are still defending against the kid in the basement
Everyone’s immediate reaction is denial “MY crypto platform of choice is the safe one. It can’t happen to me”
With AI, every crypto platform has very likely already been penetrated…or have swarms of agents trying 24/7
The attackers are just sitting, ironing out the fine details, waiting for the right moment to pull the rug. You WILL be pwnd.

If you look closely enough, breakthroughs in everything are accelerating exponentially.
An exponential always starts off looking small.
this might be my last normal tweet before biotech goes vertical
i'm not a whistleblower. I don't work at Lilly, Novo or any of the big labs
but there is a massive shift happening in human biology right now.
it's sitting in press releases and almost nobody reads them
the last 6 months alone:
- a once-daily pill roughly doubled median survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer (13.2 vs 6.6 months)
- a one-time gene editing infusion cut hereditary angioedema attacks 87%, and 62% of patients stayed attack-free and off all other prevention for 6 months
- a one-time gene edit for cholesterol dropped LDL up to 62%, and it held for over a year
- a personalized mrna vaccine beat keytruda alone in a 1,137 patient melanoma phase 3
- retatrutide hit ~28% weight loss in a phase 3
- an ai-designed drug entered phase 3
- a pill that regrows hair passed its second phase 3
- an immunotherapy that could let some rectal cancer patients skip surgery, chemo and radiation just got fda approved
- a man lived 271 days off dialysis on a pig kidney
- human cells were caught passing chromosome-sized chunks of DNA to their neighbors, and it changes how the neighbors behave
we are on the verge of an era where the human body is a software problem and the update cycle gets shorter everyday
stick around, it's going to get weird
