그가 방에서 버티던 모습은
이미 일본 전국에 방송되고 있었음.
본인은 촬영분이 나중에 편집되거나
방송되지 않을 수도 있다고 믿었는데,
실제로는 매주 시청자들이
그의 생활을 지켜보고 있었던 것.
프로그램은 최고 시청률
30%를 넘길 만큼 인기를 끌었고,
그가 쓴 일기는 책으로 출간돼
베스트셀러까지 됐음.
그런 사실을 전혀 모르던 그는
마지막 촬영에서 더 큰 충격을 받음.
제작진이 그를 눈가리개를 씌운 채
어느 공간으로 데려간 뒤
다시 옷을 벗고 기다리게 했는데,
갑자기 사방의 벽이 무너지듯 열리자
눈앞에 관객 약 1,000명이
앉아 있었던 것.
그는 거의 알몸인 채로
수많은 사람의 웃음과 환호를
마주해야 했다고.
이후 그는 사람을 믿기 어려워졌고,
당시의 경험이 오랫동안
정신적인 상처로 남았다고 밝혔음.
훗날 이 사건은
다큐멘터리 영화
'더 콘테스턴트(The Contestant)'로
제작되기도 했는데,
프로그램을 만들었던 프로듀서
쓰치야 도시오(土屋敏男)는
영화에서 자신을 이렇게 표현했음.

나는 악마입니다."
the binance hacker just did something genius and it should scare you
tether froze $1.5 billion in stolen USDT. circle froze $800 million in USDC. everyone's celebrating like the problem is solved
meanwhile the hacker deposited the stolen USDT on aave, borrowed ETH against it, and walked away. because USDT can be frozen. ETH can't
he's never paying it back. he doesn't need to
tether and circle just proved they can freeze billions in seconds. and the hacker just proved that if you know how defi actually works, none of that matters
the freeze saved some of the money. but the smartest money was already gone before anyone pressed the button

In the United States, buying an egg salad sandwich from a convenience store or gas station at midnight is a gamble with your digestive system.
In Japan, a two-dollar 7-Eleven egg salad sandwich is a culinary religious experience that late chef Anthony Bourdain famously called pillows of love.
Why does a humble convenience store sandwich in Tokyo taste better than a fifteen-dollar cafe lunch in New York?
It comes down to two obsessions: agricultural engineering and thermal logistics.
First, Japanese convenience chains do not use pale, industrial powdered eggs. They use farm eggs from hens fed marigold-enriched diets that produce deep sunset-orange yolks, whipped with yolk-only Kewpie mayonnaise and tucked inside crustless Shokupan milk bread that is steamed and kneaded to stay cloud-soft.
Second, those sandwiches do not sit on a frigid shelf for four days. Delivery trucks restock Japanese convenience stores three to four times a day using dedicated temperature zones, keeping bread in mildly cooled compartments so refrigerator chill never hardens the wheat starch.
This actually broke my brain

Rumors that chili maker Lao Gan Ma laid off 500+ workers due to AI have gone viral in China.
Beneath Beijing’s positive messaging, many ordinary Chinese people are worried about AI and jobs.
Lao Gan Ma recently touted a new AI-powered chili inspection system that uses high-speed industrial cameras that significantly outperform manual inspection.
A stat about the company using this AI system to reduce human inspectors from 600 to 48 went viral on Chinese social media. The iconic, family-run company pushed back.
But if you look at the data, the company has reduced headcount from 2,912 to 740 in the past few years while earning record revenues.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Ripple officially receives full US regulatory approval to operate as a national trust bank.
Elon Musk now literally holds the off switch on Anthropic's $2 trillion IPO.
Anthropic's filing shows it has agreed to pay Elon's AI company up to $120.5 billion for computing power. And starting early next year, either side can walk away with 90 days' notice.
The deal is with SpaceXAI, the SpaceX unit that used to be xAI, and it rents Anthropic the Nvidia chips that run Claude.
In May, the price was $1.25 billion a month for one data center in Memphis. Reuters reported the confidential draft of this filing put the total at $84.5 billion. The public version filed today says $120.5 billion.
Once all the capacity arrives in December, the bill jumps: Anthropic expects to pay Musk about $3.1 billion every month.
Anthropic reportedly brought in $16.8 billion last quarter, which works out to about $5.6 billion a month. So more than HALF of what Anthropic earns today is about to go to one supplier.
Now here's where it gets really insane:
The lock-in on those contracts ends in January and March 2027. After that, either side can cancel with 90 days' notice. Fortune reported in July that the clause gives SpaceX a way to take its chips back if Grok suddenly needs more.
Grok competes directly with Claude.
And in February, Elon publicly called Anthropic's AI evil.
So the company selling itself to the public as the safe AI lab is about to run a huge share of its product on hardware owned by its loudest critic. That critic also owns a direct competitor, and he can start the 90-day clock in early 2027.
The filing does warn that some of Anthropic's compute suppliers build their own AI models, and that warning reads very differently once the supplier is Elon.
And Elon needs this deal just as badly: SpaceX's CFO has promised $100 billion in annual revenue by the end of this year. At full speed, Anthropic's rent comes to about $9.3 billion a quarter. That's more than the roughly $7.6 billion SpaceX's entire AI business brought in last quarter.
So 2 of the biggest IPOs in history are now holding each other up, and both of them have a 90-day exit.
Anthropic has a real argument here. Computing power is the scarcest thing in AI right now, and Amazon's cloud capacity for 2027 is reportedly largely sold out. The filing even admits Anthropic badly underestimated how much compute it needed in the past. Grabbing every chip on the market is the rational move, and the same clause lets Anthropic leave if cheaper capacity shows up.
But public buyers deserve 2 things before the listing: Anthropic should publish how much of Claude runs on SpaceX hardware and what happens to its customers if that notice ever arrives. And it should get the 90-day exit removed for the full length of the contract, the same way its other big compute bills are locked in.
Until then, anyone buying ANT at $2 trillion has to answer one question for themselves:
Who do they trust to keep Claude running in 2027, Anthropic or Elon Musk?

🚨 BREAKING: Stephen A. Smith Says VJ Edgecombe’s Agent Thad Foucher Texted Him at Halftime of 76ers-Cavaliers: “He Doesn’t Wanna Sit in the Corner for 82 Games” 👀
🗣️ Stephen A. Smith allegedly said:
“Thad Foucher, VJ Edgecombe’s agent, texted me at halftime, and the message was clear: VJ Edgecombe doesn’t wanna sit in the corner for 82 games. He wants to be involved in the offense, he wants the basketball in his hands, and he wants the opportunity to show the world what he can do. You don’t draft a talent like that just to turn him into a spot-up shooter.”
👀 With the reported debate over LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey, and the offensive hierarchy in Philadelphia, could the 76ers already have a chemistry problem on their hands?

Doesn’t this mean the Russians had access to his phone the whole time?
🚨A new book and media report by Matthew Cole allege that Dutch military intelligence hacked Jared Kushner's iPhone and uncovered secret financial arrangements involving Middle Eastern leaders, claims that Kushner has strongly denied as "completely insane".
Key Details from the Claims and Reports
•The Phone Hack: According to the report in Vanity Fair and the book Princes and Thieves, the Netherlands Defense Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD) gained access to Jared Kushner's iPhone X around early 2018 after finding files on a Russian military intelligence (GRU) server.
•
•The Bank Accounts and Funds: The reports allege that Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) of Saudi Arabia and Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ) of the United Arab Emirates routed substantial funds—totalling hundreds of millions or up to $2 billion across multiple accounts—connected to Jared Kushnerduring the first Trump administration:
◦Account Alpha: An account at First Abu Dhabi Bank allegedly received roughly $750 million starting in 2017 via an Azerbaijani bank, tied to the UAE-funded Watani Al Emarat Foundation where Jared Kushner was listed as a signatory.
◦Account Beta: An account allegedly involving roughly $1 billion moved to Israel's Central Bank for Kushner's personal benefit.
To be fair 😂
THIS IS INSANE!!!
A San Francisco startup says it just turned mercury into real gold.
The company is Marathon Fusion. This week they announced they'd made stable gold using fusion neutrons, at 10x the record CERN set in 2025.
CERN's record was 29 picograms over four years. So nobody's pouring bars yet.
The method is what got me. You hit mercury-198 with a fusion neutron. It loses a neutron, becomes mercury-197, and over the next few days decays into gold-197. The exact same gold sitting in central bank vaults.
Their 2025 paper says a one-gigawatt fusion plant built this way could make around 2 tonnes of gold a year as a side product, while it's selling electricity.
I've said it for years. Gold is a shiny rock. It's valuable because there's only so much of it and pulling it out of the ground is hard and expensive.
If this holds up, gold's scarcity turns into an engineering problem. And you can only delay technical progress. You can't stop it.
To be fair, the gold comes out mixed with radioactive isotopes and would need to sit for well over a decade before it's safe to touch. Nobody outside the company has verified the result yet, and commercial fusion is still years away.
Peter Schiff has spent years telling everyone Bitcoin has no intrinsic value.
This week a startup says it made gold out of mercury.
There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin. No reactor on Earth can make one more.
