Scientists in Japan were horrified by their findings after they cloned a single mouse for the past 20 years.

By the 58th generation, any new clones became completely non-viable for life due to severe mutations. Resurrecting a species by cloning 1 subject may be impossible.

BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market.

Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, ​a $760 million bet that oil would go down.

These orders were much larger than anything else at the time.

The traders made huge gains.

Unusual.

Wow this is embarrassing!

Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction at a Pentagon speech and prayer session yesterday.

The prayer was an adaptation of the monologue delivered by Samuel L. Jackson’s character. In the movie, the character falsely attributes it to Ezekiel 25:17 before a killing, saying:

“The path of the downed aviator is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of camaraderie and duty, shepherd the lost through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to capture and destroy my brother. And you will know my call sign is Sandy 1 when I lay my vengeance upon thee.”

Anthropic said no to the Pentagon.

Now Sam Altman is backing them:

"For all the differences I have with Anthropic, I mostly trust them as a company and I think they really do care about safety."

OpenAI and Anthropic both drawing the same line.

This is a big deal.

i watched a flight go from $483 to $547 in 24 hours WITHOUT a single seat selling

searched london to new york on a tuesday

$483

checked again 2 hours later

$512

next morning: $547

panicked and booked it

the guy sitting next to me paid $391

same seat, date + airline

$156 less

he searched once i searched 3 times

the algorithm saw me come back and charged me until i broke

the seat doesnt have a price

you have a price

and it goes up EVERY time you show interest

couldnt stop thinking about it so i tracked down someone who actually built pricing algorithms for a european carrier

asked him what happened to me

"you got profiled. the system assigned you an intent score after your second search and raised your ceiling every time you came back"

asked how to beat it

"most people think a VPN fixes it. thats 2015 advice. the algorithm fingerprints more than your IP now. it reads your device your browser your screen resolution your timezone. VPN to bucharest but your clock says london and your language is english? the algo knows youre faking and sometimes charges you more for trying"

"so what actually works?"

"you have to poison the entire profile. not just the location. the identity"

the protocol he gave me:

VPN AND match your timezone and language to the spoofed location. mismatched signals flag you and can trigger a price increase

use a fully clean browser. no history no saved passwords no google account. the algorithm fingerprints your session not just your cookies

one search one booking. the intent score activates on the second search. there is no safe way to look twice

book tuesday or wednesday 1-5am. lowest traffic means the least demand data for the algorithm to inflate against

if the price already spiked go dark for 72 hours minimum. not 24. the intent score on most carriers decays on a 3 day cycle. come back on a different device from a different network

"we spent $4 billion building these systems. theyre not going to lose to someone who opened an incognito tab"

$900 billion industry

the gap between what you pay and what the person next to you pays is not a bug

its the entire business model

stop letting an algorithm charge you for being predictable

Windows Notepad.exe now has a remote code execution vulnerability.

You read that right.

Notepad.exe, which used to be a simple text editor, has had so many network connect features added (including AI and Microsoft account subscriptions)… that it now has security vulnerabilities.

This CVE is rated as “SEVERE” and given an 8.8 score.

BREAKING: The $300 Billion Trap Nobody Saw Coming

Two companies that have never turned a profit just signed the largest technology contract in human history.

Oracle's credit default swaps hit 141 basis points this week. The highest since Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008. Trading volume exploded to $9.2 billion in ten weeks versus $410 million last year.

The credit markets are screaming what equity markets refuse to hear.

Here is what they see:

Oracle committed $300 billion over five years to build AI infrastructure for OpenAI. OpenAI's current revenue is $13 billion. The contract requires $60 billion annually starting 2027. OpenAI must grow revenue fivefold in two years just to pay one vendor.

Oracle's free cash flow turned negative $10 billion last quarter. Barclays warns cash could be exhausted by November 2026. Morgan Stanley explicitly recommends buying protection against Oracle's debt.

But here is the part that should terrify you:

Nvidia invests in OpenAI. OpenAI uses the money to buy Nvidia chips through Oracle. Oracle uses the payments to service debt and buy more Nvidia chips. Revenue flows back to Nvidia.

The serpent eats its own tail.

SoftBank sits at the center with $113 billion in commitments and only $58.5 billion in funding capacity. A $54.5 billion hole that must be filled somehow.

Meanwhile, MIT found 95% of organizations see zero return on investment from generative AI. McKinsey reports 8 in 10 companies show no bottom line impact.

The entire structure depends on AI adoption materializing at unprecedented scale within 36 months.

If it does not, the failure cascades everywhere simultaneously.

There is no government bailout coming. The White House confirmed it this month.

This is capitalism's stress test.

The canary in the coal mine just stopped singing.
