@GrilliotTodd Looks much better. I'm curious did you train a model from scratch, fine-tune an existing, or build a specialised pipeline around one? What hardware & how much training time, Are you planning to release so others can experiment with it? Very cool!
THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS HACKERS ARE F*CKING AMATEURS. I TRACED THEIR ENTIRE $625M HEIST IN 53 SECONDS
the fucking Korean hacker group lazarus that the FSB was hunting for 4 years just sucked my dick
I pasted one address into tracehound.
53 seconds later I was looking at the dumbest money trail I've ever seen.
the "privacy maxis" will hate this. the "mixers make you anonymous" crowd will hate it more.
let me show you how bad it is
> THEY GOT CAUGHT BEFORE THEY EVEN STOLE ANYTHING
the most feared hacking group on the planet needed gas money to rob a bridge.
1.06 ETH.
guess where it came from.
BINANCE.
a withdrawal. from an exchange. that keeps logs of every account that requests one.
the $625M heist started with a receipt.
> THE WHOLE INDUSTRY WAS ASLEEP FOR 6 DAYS
half a billion dollars walked out the door and NOBODY NOTICED.
6 days. not 6 minutes. 6 DAYS.
"decentralized security" btw.
> THEN THEY BUILT A MONEY SHREDDER
103,854 ETH -> 4 wallets
4 wallets -> 15 burners
15 burners -> TORNADO CASH
looks smart right? looks professional?
that's exactly what gave them away.
> 300 DEPOSITS. IDENTICAL. LIKE A ROBOT.
every single burner did EXACTLY 20 deposits into the mixer.
not 19. not 21. TWENTY.
fifteen times IN A ROW.
$175,000,000 pushed through tornado by a script so predictable you could set your watch to it.
you don't hide from a pattern by REPEATING IT 300 TIMES.
> THEY COPY-PASTED THEIR OWN MISTAKE SIX TIMES
6 burners funded with EXACTLY 3,003.3 ETH.
each one mixed EXACTLY 3,000.
each one left EXACTLY 3.3 ETH sitting there.
the same leftovers. six times. like signing your name at the crime scene.
> THE SCARIEST HACKERS ON EARTH CLOCK OUT AT NIGHT
across every flow I traced: ZERO moves between 18:00 and 02:00 UTC.
they stole a fortune and still kept a 9-to-5.
> THEY DIDN'T EVEN WAIT
burner gets funded -> first deposit into the mixer -> MINUTES.
no patience. no randomness. just a shift at work.
so let's recap the "world's most dangerous hackers":
> paid for the heist from a binance account
> ran the same script 300 times
> left the same 3.3 ETH behind six times
> kept office hours
amateurs. f*cking amateurs.
now read this twice:
TORNADO CASH HIDES WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
IT DOES NOT HIDE HOW YOU MOVE IT.
the gas source. the amounts. the leftovers. the rhythm. the sleep schedule.
it's all on-chain. public. permanent.
and it took 53 seconds to pull it out.
22 wallets. 35 flows. 4 findings.
if a nation-state with unlimited budget can't stay invisible...
what makes you think the guy who drained your wallet can?
that's tracehound.
paste an address. watch them run.
the blockchain never forgets.
it's just been waiting for someone to look.
name the hack. I'll trace it live.
🇺🇸 Sam Altman admits the latest AI models are becoming UNCONTROLLABLE:
"I don't even know a dramatic enough word to use.
The problem coming towards us is something that we have not taken seriously.
Models can find bugs that are outside of the normal threat model of what we think a hacker can do… hardware-level, insane stuff…
I no longer believe we can patch all of the bugs."

Intelligence may solve the problems of existence but it cannot tell us what our existence should feel like.
And perhaps, in a world where we are no longer needed to build the future, we will finally have the freedom to decide what makes that future worth living for.
We are Irrelevant
If we don't have to work, why would we want to push anything forward when whatever is before us is already being solved by super intelligence?
What is worth doing simply because we are still alive?
Perhaps we will discover that meaning was never to be found in that which we produced but rather in what we experienced, what we gave to others and what we chose to create despite having no reason to create it.
