i rebuilt satoshi's 2009 bitcoin.exe byte for byte!
afaik nobody has been able to perfectly recreate the executable published in 2009 from source, because we didn't know the exact build environment that was used.
using opus 5.5, i reverse-engineered satoshi's build machine from the binary.
it now outputs an exe with the exact same sha256 as the 2009 release!
Turkish media are spreading this image of Richard, without his pants on, blurred like this.
I thought it was AI generated, but it is not AI generated, it is the actual caught-with-pants-down image Turkish media are circulating.
Hey @jamesob
Since we made this bet, I find that AI accelerates science at such a rate that it is now very difficult to sift through which papers/discoveries are relevant
For that reason I've made this website:

It highlights the two results that get furthest on your test so far (AI touched matter, and AI was necessary):
• AlphaEvolve (May 2026): an AI-designed circuit is now in Google's TPU silicon (company-reported)
• Lila Sciences (Sep 2026): AI picked 2,942 catalysts to make and test, and found palladium ones for green hydrogen (preprint)
Not a huge leap yet, and not the win condition either.
Anyway, run this through your favorite AI to give me feedback on what you think about the methodology/selection criteria.
We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
