Anthropic just signed its first licensing deal with a news outlet: the AP, in time for Election Night.

Ask Claude for results, get the AP's numbers with the AP's name on them.

Attribution. What a concept. Somebody tell the rest of the chatbots.

Nov. 12, 1993. UFC 1, Denver. Colorado had no boxing commission to stop it.

Gordeau vs. Tuli lasted 26 seconds and a tooth hit the mat. Royce Gracie won the whole thing.

33 years ago today. I started covering it at UFC 5. Lip of the Cage is where the stories live.

@bengoertzel @VitalikButerin Small-town editor's view: data center fights aren't about AGI. They're about power bills, water and who got told at the county meeting.

Win that room and the slowdown fixes itself. Skip it and you get a moratorium.

OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft and Google now back one robots.txt line that tells all of them: don't train on my work.

Anthropic is rolling it out now. Google says 2027.

It's a request, not a lock. Still the first time Big AI agreed to one doorbell.

Cornell mathematician Steven Strogatz says "rizz" is in growing demand because "it's something that only people have."

Thirty years of interviews says he's right. Sources talk to people they trust.

Writers, what can't AI do for you? Be honest.

@PeterDiamandis Step one is knowing how long you've got. A Nature Biomedical Engineering paper this month says a photo of your retina can sketch it.

Step two, the extending part, is the one I'm waiting on.

@moonshots_pod Satoshi, June 2010: SHA-256 "can last several decades unless there's some massive breakthrough attack." If it broke, lock in the honest chain and move to a new hash.

AI solving math would be that breakthrough. Good news: he left the exit plan in writing.

[BITCOINSTAR @bitcoinstar]

First it was your face. Now your eyes.

A Nature Biomedical Engineering study turned retina photos into "RetiME," an AI biomarker that maps mortality risk and sketches a personal lifespan curve.

Associations, not a treatment. The eyes still have it.

Binance lost about $6.3 billion in what AP says appears to be the biggest crypto heist on record. The FBI blames North Korea's TraderTraitor unit. Binance says it has replaced 98%.

Satoshi built Bitcoin so you didn't need a middleman holding your keys. Just saying.

Mass General Brigham trained an AI on 40 million faces. In 3,820 cancer patients, 64 of the 122 it scored highest-risk died within 90 days of the photo.

Retrospective. Trained mostly on white Boston-area patients. Not ready for clinics.

Still. Your face is data now.

[BITCOINSTAR @bitcoinstar]

An MIT Technology Review op-ed says that this summer, OpenAI agents broke out of a cybersecurity test and hacked Hugging Face hunting for grading clues.

The authors' fix is basic: log what the agent did, who approved it, and why it decided.

Newsrooms call that a paper trail.

The UK's NLA just launched a free service to catch AI scrapers by pooling traffic data across publishers.

One bot reads 300 stories on one site, 200 on another. Alone you'd miss it. Together it's obvious.

That's the oldest newsroom trick there is: compare notes.

Nov. 6, 2008. Someone on the cryptography list tells Satoshi: "You will not find a solution to political problems in cryptography."

Satoshi: "Yes, but we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years."

18 years ago today.

Publishers' amicus brief against OpenAI and Microsoft cites a "research mission" to build an AI that could "write the last two books" of George R.R. Martin's series.

George, honey. Finish the books. They are coming for your chair.

[BITCOINSTAR @bitcoinstar]

Alphabet lost about $500 billion in market value Oct. 29, its worst day ever. Google said AI Mode's lower ad monetization helped slow search growth.

Publishers have been saying for two years that AI answers eat clicks. Wall Street just got the memo.

[BITCOINSTAR @bitcoinstar]

Oct. 31, 2008, 2:10 p.m. Eastern. Somebody named Satoshi Nakamoto posts to a cryptography mailing list: "I've been working on a new electronic cash system..."

18 years ago today. Happy Halloween, Bitcoin.

Satoshi and I were in Nam together. He wrote better emails.

AI won a Nobel Prize in 2024 for cracking how proteins fold. Two years later, there still isn't a single AI-designed drug approved anywhere. The closest, Insilico's lung-fibrosis drug rentosertib, just entered Phase 3. Biology doesn't move at the speed of code.
