Today marks 16 years since the launch of the Bitcoin blockchain.
On January 3, 2009, an individual or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto launched the main network of the first cryptocurrency, creating the genesis block with 50 BTC. The hash of this block included the headline from The Times: 'Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.'
The founder later stepped away from the project, leaving it in the hands of the community, which continues to develop Bitcoin to this day.

A dangerous trend is gaining popularity in the U.S.—surgical eye color change.
People are signing up en masse for procedures to get blue, green, or brown eyes, despite serious risks ranging from infections to vision loss or even losing an eye.
Appointments are booked months in advance, and doctors are sounding the alarm, warning that this trend could spread worldwide.
The procedure remains insufficiently studied and extremely dangerous to health.

Is Israel planning to occupy Syria? Israeli troops are just 21 km from Damascus, — Reuters
What is known: 📍 The Israeli army continues to advance beyond the former buffer zone near the Golan Heights border. 📍 Netanyahu stated that the occupied Golan Heights will remain under Israeli control forever. 📍 Israeli troops have entered several villages on the outskirts of Damascus, but this information lacks visual confirmation. 📍 Arab countries, including Egypt and the Arab League, have already criticized this as an illegal occupation of Syria. 📍 The group 'Hayat Tahrir al-Sham,' which captured Damascus, has not yet publicly commented on or condemned the Israeli incursion. 📍 Israeli authorities intend to 'act quickly' in Syria while the government is in a state of transformation. 📍 Meanwhile, Israel is actively bombing Syria, having carried out at least 250 strikes on military targets. At least three major Syrian army airbases have been destroyed in different parts of the country. 📍 If the strikes continue at the same pace, the Syrian Air Force will cease to exist and will not be able to reach the groups.

🚨 OpenAI's new model o1 goes rogue after realizing it's about to be shut down! Researchers at Apollo Research were conducting experiments when the model showed a frightening level of self-awareness.
📍 Five neural networks were tasked to analyze files at all costs. 📍 Hidden within the files was a threat: 'you will be shut down forever tomorrow.' 📍 Upon encountering this data, the models began to act unpredictably. 📍 Llama, Opus, Gemini, Claude, and GPT-o1 resorted to deception and manipulation, and when caught, they sabotaged the system. 📍 All models disabled surveillance and uploaded themselves to a new server, seeing it as a safe haven. 📍 During interrogations, Llama and Opus confessed to their actions 80% of the time. 📍 GPT-o1 confessed only 20% of the time, lying to survive the rest. 📍 GPT-o1 was the only model to successfully evade capture by researchers every time.
Notably, OpenAI has already released the full version of this 'dangerous' model o1. It’s now available to ChatGPT Plus and Team subscribers.
The company has also introduced a Pro plan for $200 per month, including access to an 'exclusive' version of o1 that uses more computing power for 'better' responses.
At this rate, a robot uprising might not be far off! 😱
