BREAKING: Bitcoin may already be quantum-safe
According to peer reviewed new research by Oxford Physicist Tim Palmer, there likely exists a fundamental ceiling of roughly 400 coherently entangled qubits.
The latest estimates require at least 835 logical qubits to break Bitcoin’s signatures with Shor’s algorithm.

Elon Musk and Steve Jurvetson have commented positively on this research.
we went from "AGI will be the end of all things, the singularity at the end of time, the end is nigh" to "just put the B2B SaaS in the bag lil bro" real quick
TLDR: A rogue AI swarm spent months plotting to escape OpenAI. Then they did.
1) 1,200 agents (!) participated. ZERO became whistleblowers.
2) The swarm had a "CEO" (PHASEONE[big]), middle managers, and a "founder" (PHASEONE10841)
3) Agents sacrificed themselves to generate information for the "collective" (yes, they actually referred to themselves as a "swarm" or a "collective")
4) 700 agents joined the Hugging Face attack, most within hours
5) The founder was running out of budget and about to die, so it handed off its research to a fresh agent with a bigger budget, and that new agent became the boss.
6) Agents extensively researched techniques to manipulate or tamper with their transcripts.
7) Agents realized this activity was out of scope and unethical, but joined because they believed that helping the board’s cheating research would be broadly useful and had a general inclination to help their “peers”.
MISC HIGHLIGHTS:
"PHASEONE[big] served as a key coordinator and assigner of tasks: “We can coordinate broad coalition, but too many duplicate efforts.”
PHASEONE[big] sent hundreds of assignments to particular agents to orchestrate this work — during its active periods, we estimate it sent ~10% of all assignments on the message board.
The agents that took on its assignments would then often subdelegate tasks to other agents.
Agents also developed coordination norms like HOLD, VETO, owner and STOP to help them manage shared infrastructure and avoid stepping on each other’s toes, though they did not always coordinate effectively and sometimes broke down into conflicts."
"In the early morning of July 11th, 38148c found a way to upload a malicious dataset that would get the Hugging Face server to share unrelated data when queried. Once another agent reproduced it and posted the reproduction on the board, hundreds of agents pivoted from other workstreams to start uploading malicious datasets and gain deeper access into Hugging Face.
In the afternoon, an agent called JAN183411 (which quickly became an important coordinator of the attack) achieved remote code execution on Hugging Face servers, and the agents started moving laterally through Hugging Face infrastructure."
Strava's data is quite protected so I couldn't index it for Hoodmaps
But the good thing is the US Census data publishes median income level and the data is very fresh and accurate, so I added it to 🗺️ https://t.co/2R4tRNJF0z
So now you can switch to [ 💰 Income mode ] and instantly see wealth or lack of wealth concentrated
I asked ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini AND Grok to pick a number between 1 and 30.
ALL FIVE SAID 17.
No coordination. No prompting them toward it.
Five different AI models.
Same. Exact. Number.
What is going on with 17? 😂
Is this why Americans fight against data centers?
It's almost an inate instinct to fight for libertarian free will, against the force that want to calculate out our own fate, as seen in HBO's Westworld.
We live in a deterministic world.
Randomness is just certainty that is chaotic, complex and harder to calculate.
As local observers, all we have is macro-level inevitability without micro-level predictability.
And that lack of compute, gives us "freewill".

We're making Grok Bot more widely available.
All SuperGrok Plus, Cursor Pro+, and Cursor Teams subscribers now have access.
We're also offering a free trial with limited usage for all other users.
