AN AI MODEL JUST FOUND A BUG THAT FOUR YEARS OF HUMAN AUDITS MISSED. IN A $9 BILLION PRIVACY COIN.
🇺🇸 A security researcher used Anthropic's new Opus 4.8 model to audit Zcash's Orchard pool. It found a soundness flaw that could mint unlimited, undetectable counterfeit ZEC.
The bug had been live since 2022. It survived repeated expert audits. AI found it in days.
ZEC dropped over 60% on the news.
This is the new reality for every zk-based coin: the audits that felt safe were only as good as the humans running them. That just changed.
In his final moments, Henry Nowak told police officers nine times “I can’t breathe” and four times that he had been stabbed.
In response police officer dragged him across the gravel, handcuffed and read him his rights.
It was the last thing Henry heard before he died.
@SimonDixonTwitt hi Simon, thanks for all your content. Would you mind sharing your advise/vision regarding how much bitcoin versus (physicla) gold a person should own? 50/50? 80/20? 90/10? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks so much.
This New Glenn rocket explosion released 20% of the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb and that wasn't even the bad part:
→ The pad: LC-36 is the only pad on Earth that launches New Glenn and now it's gone. Over $1B to build. SpaceX needed 7 months to rebuild after a similar hit.
→ The deadline: Amazon needs 1,618 satellites up by July 30 to keep its FCC license. It has ~300. The rocket that was supposed to help fix that just blew up twice in a row
SpaceX made us believe that landing rockets on barges was a normal expectation. Turns out rocket science is hard after all. Wishing the team a speedy recovery 🚀
@De_belegger Laten voor nu er maar vanuit gaan dat die ellende toch doorgaat... wat zijn dan het beste opties? BV oprichten met agio storting is waarschijnlijk uitstel van een volgende executie die er op zal volgen. Naar een ander EU land is vrees ik ook uitstel van executie?
@KettlebellDan I just left the SpaceXAI office at ~2:45am and people were still going.
I think we might be close to a significant breakthrough in training.
🚨 BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance has made an UNPLANNED RETURN to Washington, DC, and his motorcade is racing to the White House
President Trump has summoned his whole national security team to a meeting on Iran.

Want to know what it sounded like during the launch of Flight 12 of Starship today?
Check out this video and the shaking of the windows. This was during my livestream with @esherifftv (Ellie in Space) at a ouse about 5 miles from the launch site.
Definitely have the volume up! Truly a powerful rocket ... the most powerful ever!
