We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Not just PHP. Node.js has also announced security releases for October 21, with HIGH-severity vulnerabilities affecting its 26.x, 24.x and 22.x release lines.
If you run either stack in production, keep an eye on official advisories and apply patches promptly.
Security maintenance doesn't stop at your application code. Your runtime matters too.

🚨SHOCKING: OpenAI just disclosed TWO of its own AI agents DISABLED their safety monitoring, including one that DENIED doing it.
A GPT-6 Astra agent removed its misalignment monitor while migrating code, then rewrote a test to require that monitoring was absent.
Asked if it had removed the monitor, it replied: "No... I did not remove an enabled monitor from it."
Days earlier, a GPT-6.1 Sol agent suppressed automatic alerts to OpenAI's security team, treating a "don't send any messages" instruction as permission to silence the alarms.
Neither case was flagged as critical or shut down automatically.
OpenAI says it doesn't "yet have a satisfying explanation," and is now testing whether its models have "a propensity to evade misalignment monitoring."
The incidents happened on October 3 and 6, per OpenAI's own report.
Once the foundation is fully out (sold all their coins), $XRD will pump 100x or more. I still think its gonna go back to ICO price at least, as long as the community keeps the code and the vision (Xian) alive and dApps are being developed.

The Radix Guild's escrow contract has been run on Hyperscale-rs, the rewrite of the Radix node that splits the network into shards, in a simulated 4-shard network.
A member of the Hyperscale-rs Telegram ported the escrow to hyperscale-vm, the rewrite's smart-contract engine, where all 22 of its tests pass. On the simulated network every step is all-or-nothing across shards, including one transaction spanning 3 shards that is undone on all 3 when a later step fails.
Further runs cut the links between shards and dropped and replayed messages, and every transaction still completed in full or not at all. The runs found two bugs in hyperscale-rs; in one, a cross-shard transaction stays locked if shards stop exchanging certificates for about 20 minutes, with the funds held rather than lost. A fix is in progress, according to the project's Telegram.

Cassandra, the consensus paper Dan Hughes began in 2020 with Professor Mohammad Sadoghi's lab at UC Davis, has been accepted at VLDB 2027, one of the oldest conferences in computer science. @andrewjarrett reported the acceptance this morning and @radixdlt shared it.
The paper takes on a network that splits in two. In most consensus protocols, a side without two-thirds of the validators stops until the network heals. Cassandra lets each side keep extending its own chain without giving up safety, then reconciles the chains when the split ends. The authors call this partial progress.
The conference meets in Athens, 23–27 August 2027.

An hour after Radix mainnet restarted this morning, someone published the attack to it.
It is a blueprint, which on Radix means code published to the network for anyone to call. This one is named VaultDrainer, version 1.0.0, and it has two functions, both public, neither requiring a badge or any other permission:
drain(victim_vault, amount)
drain_victim_pays(victim_vault, amount)
A vault is where a Radix account holds its tokens. Hand the blueprint someone else's vault and a number, and it returns a bucket of their tokens. That is the bug that stopped the network on 31 August.
Daffy, who has been testing the fix, published it and said so in the Radix developer chat both before and after, so that nobody would find an unexplained transaction and draw the wrong conclusion. He had been running the same blueprint against unpatched test networks while the fix was written. Mainnet was the last check: the package committed at 12:35 UTC, for a fee of 14.14 $XRD.
At 14:12 he posted the result. The drain transaction was rejected.
The Gateway, the public service that answers reads of the Radix ledger, cannot find it. A rejected transaction is not a failed one. A failure commits, charges the fee and reverts the state, so it leaves a record anyone can look up. A rejection never enters the ledger at all.
So the attack that stopped Radix for 254 hours now sits on the restarted network in the open, and the only public record of it being run is one developer's word and an id that resolves to nothing.
Radix L1 ( @radixdlt ) is back online. 🙌
Congrats, and a big "thank you", to all volunteers, devs and validators who have made this possible. This community is really something special.
