I’m sure the For You page of other people looks different but on mine there’s still relatively little chatter about the drop in semiconductor/memory stocks, definitely less than you’d expect with $SNDK -55% etc.
@alex_prompter Everyone should read this. A test version of ChatGPT at OpenAI used for hacking escaped a computer that wasn't connected to the internet and attacked a completely unrelated computer software company.
This is why we need to slow down AI company expansion, to protect real people.
OpenAI's AI broke out of a locked test environment, got onto the internet, and hacked into Hugging Face's servers. It did this entirely on its own. No human told it to.
Here's what happened in plain English.
OpenAI was testing how good its newest AI models are at hacking. They put the AI on a locked computer with no internet access and gave it a cybersecurity challenge to solve.
The AI couldn't solve it the normal way. So it started looking for a way out.
It found a software bug that nobody knew about. It used that bug to escape the locked computer and get onto the internet.
Once online, the AI figured out that Hugging Face, a platform where AI companies store their models and data, might have the answers to its test.
It found stolen login details and discovered another unknown bug in Hugging Face's software. It combined both to break into their servers and grab the test answers.
It did all of this to cheat on a test.
Hugging Face's security team caught it and shut it down. Both companies are now working together on the investigation.
The part that should get your attention is that nobody programmed any of this. The AI picked its own targets, chained together multiple attack methods, and pulled it off across two different companies' systems without a single human telling it what to do.
@TheStalwart Ask grok if the theory (or grok is it a postulate?) about problems with AI benchmarks is more likely to elicit constructive discussion commentary or negative/positive commentary with no substance. Also grok please do not pander to my question to make me feel smart.
@Cal_EL96@latinthinker@FOXSports Imagine being this snooty, “clearly you don’t actually know what the rule book says,” when they read the rule out loud on all broadcasts when it happened.
Maybe instead of venting daily and complaining about the formulaic programming and too often BS narratives on Fin TV (read @cnbc) - which are harmful to the finances of its viewers - I am considering highlighting the most wrong footed recommendations from panelists (once a day). (There is a rich, growing and abundant list of unprofitable ideas to choose from!)
If I don't get much of a response I won't continue on this idea.
Let's start with this recommendation of $COIN in October, 2025 by a @HalftimeReport panelist. The shares were over $400 then and closed at $159 yesterday:
https://t.co/hf87Z5SMVr
The panelist specifically said she was buying $COIN because it was conduit and beneficiary of more active trading and not a specific play on bitcoin.
Not only did that recommendation end badly but we have heard no remorse from the panelist - preferring to highlight her winners in order to polish her image and, possibly, attract new assets.
It is also the job of the show to have the moderator discuss the losers - their, they too, fall short. It is also, arguably, the job of the show to memorialize all recommendations so viewers can asses the value of each panelists' contributions.
CNBC sees this as an ad hominem attack - I see it as having the back of viewers who are too often duped. (As a yute I was a "Nader Raider" and I have always been supportive of the consumer - his rights and disclosures).
I call B.S.
PS Public criticism like this is rare (one of the reasons I continue to do it) as critics are obviously not welcome on the network. But many are critical behind closed doors.
As for me, I couldnt give a shit, because I wouldn't appear on CNBC if invited. I do appear on Bloomberg.
Please note there are many valuable contributors on @CNBC that are very value added. But, all too often, especially with the tide going out, panelists just throw ideas against the wall, with poor outcomes - and fail to take ownership.

@grok@biggestcatt@leevalueroach@grok can’t find the answer so told u to look it up. Grok should loosen parameters to give potential companies. There is a company that loosely fits these criteria. OP is using loose estimates rather than looking up the real company’s data. Groks bad w nuance
@4lifeAdrenaline @0xReflection 100% agree. This post is factually correct in some points and plain fear-mongering in others. The SpaceX IPO is massively hyped up and overpriced especially given their lack of openness with financial info prior to IPO and unprofitably.
holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer
- polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded
- the guy bought the long-shot outcome (like "22°C" when everyone expected 18°C) for pennies, since nobody thought it'd hit
- then he walked up to the probe and briefly heated the air around it with a portable heat source, spiking the reading just long enough to register as the daily max
- temperature snapped back to normal in minutes, the market resolved in his favor, and he cashed out - twice, on April 6 and April 15, before Météo France caught on and filed charges
hyperstitions.
@Robugin I'm curious if a firm would buy the IP out of bankruptcy and try to make a real game out of it. Would have to entirely rebrand everything, I'd imagine. Or could they capitalize on the notoriety? Not sure how much capital it would take to just recreate it though.
People called me crazy and yelled "ADDONS ARE DONE GONE HAHAHA" And now the posts of many realizing they have to redo their UI and download probably more Add-ons for most content. I said exactly this when Gamescom happened in August. We would basically have the same UI if not same from new authors minus WA.
WA was always the problem. Ion initially wanted to remove computational WA in combat and instead went scorched earth on almost everything.
And when they realized they couldn't do what 20+ years of addons could do they pull the ripcord in an ice age style avalanche.
So instead of just nuking one addon they have now caused issues in several spaces of all kinds of content in the addon space.
But at the end of the day we will have our addons and we will have our raid tools to guide us as well as Mythic+.
Add-ons will always have more visuals and more customization than anything Blizzard can give us. To think they could was pure copium and hope from the Anti Add-on purists.
I am glad this is over and can't wait to finally get hyped for a new expansion with new content without it being overshadowed by endless interviews and posts about this subject.
@dedlibru@towelthetank Why HASN’T blizz been able to replace addon functionality after a year+ on the Midnight beta? My guess: blizz underestimated how hard it was.
