@abresas Dante's 10th circle?

This is amazing stuff, beating drug administration because it's permanent, and it only gets better from here.

We are going to get so healthy, so fast. Our grandkids are going to hear about heart attacks and have never actually seen one.

Eli Lilly has done it.

They've gone and made what seems to be a powerful, permanent gene therapy for LDL cholesterol.

That means they'll be able to effectively prevent most heart disease with a single infusion!

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946.

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids.

An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better.

This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

A new law in Greece is being proposed that would ban anonymity on social media

The new law would require every person to link their real name in an attempt to reduce online toxicity by making people stand behind their comments

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

‼️🇬🇷 Greece is moving toward a total ban on anonymous accounts on social media. Every post, every reply, tied to a verified legal identity.

Greece's Digital Governance Minister Dimitris Papastergiou confirmed today that the plan is meant to fight "toxicity," "hoaxes," and "character assassinations."

Mister Papastergiou says modern "digital democracy" should be "inspired" by Ancient Greece, where citizens openly expressed their views.

He apparently forgot the parts of Ancient Greece involving secret ballots, ostracism shards, and pseudonymous political pamphlets. The Athenian Assembly invented anonymous voting precisely because public attribution is dangerous.

[Digital EU 🇪🇺 @DigitalEU]

💊 Emojis used as coded language to promote illegal activities online?

Some platforms are now detecting emojis used as code for drug sales.

This is one of the key findings of the first EU-wide report on systemic online risks.

[Pod Network @poddotnetwork]

Building decentralized markets requires tackling challenges related to efficiency, real-time latency, market fairness, and censorship-resistance.

Running black-box consensus at each step of the way won’t cut it.

@abresas and @giorgos_tsimos discuss how Pod is utilizing a dual-architecture and enforceable market rules to provide fast and fair markets on decentralized networks on a global scale.

One single person printed 27% of all fake euros in Europe from his GARAGE. Italian police raided a house in Naples and found a printing lab hidden behind the garage.

He printed €11 million in fake €20, €50, and €100 bills

We are releasing a *research preview* of Chronicle in Codex. It allows codex to build up memories based on your day to day work on your computer and then refer to these memories to be a lot more helpful.

Available for PRO subscriptions and on Mac to start. This is early and consumes quite a bit of tokens, but it has changed how I and many folks at OpenAI use Codex.

@SecureLegion So, apk where?

@GeminiApp memory in EU please🙏

[NotebookLM @NotebookLM]

Last year, we integrated into the @GeminiApp by allowing you to upload your notebooks as sources. Now, we’re taking our relationship to the next level 🏠 ♥️

Starting today, you can now:

— Access all of your personal, unshared notebooks directly inside the Gemini App
— Use your chats with Gemini as sources in new or existing unshared notebooks

We're rolling out notebooks in Gemini today, starting with Google AI Ultra, Pro, and Plus subscribers on the web. In the coming weeks, we'll expand access to mobile, more countries across Europe, and to free users.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

New blog post: the state of AI safety in four fake graphs.

[Bull Theory @BullTheoryio]

BREAKING: Anthropic accidentally leaked its next AI model and it just wiped out $14.5 billion from cybersecurity stocks in a single day.

Claude Mythos was accidentally stored in a publicly accessible data cache and discovered before Anthropic could announce it.

The model showed dramatically higher scores on cybersecurity tests, meaning AI can now detect and respond to threats at a level that traditionally required entire teams of security professionals and expensive enterprise software.

Investors immediately started pricing in the question nobody in the industry wants to answer:

if an AI model can do this, why does anyone need CrowdStrike?

And the market answered immediately:

- CrowdStrike is down 5.85%, wiping out $5.5 billion.
- Palo Alto Networks is down 6.43%, wiping out $7.5 billion.
- Zscaler is down 5.89%, wiping out $1.35 billion.
- Tenable is down 9.70%, wiping out $185 million
