Anthropic tested AI agents on real smart contract hacks and they pulled off $4.6 million worth in a simulation. They even found brand new bugs nobody knew existed
🚨DO YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?
Everyone's been scared AI would break crypto.
Anthropic tested AI agents on real smart contract hacks and they pulled off $4.6 million worth in a simulation. They even found brand new bugs nobody knew existed.
Turns out it might come for your bank first.
US banks just caught AI agents logging into customer accounts. Some were calling the bank's call center. Some appeared to act without being told to.
Morgan Stanley has started blocking them. JPMorgan, Bank of America and Citi are restricting them. One bank executive called it "horrifying."
No hack needed. People are handing an AI agent their bank username and password and letting it run their money.
It logs in as you. Some banks can't even tell if it's doing what you asked or going rogue.
Jamie Dimon on JPMorgan's earnings call last week: "You don't want rogue agents."
Schwab says it's blocking outside agents trying to move client money every single week. Meta's Muse is on that list.
"Something could go wrong and who's liable?" That's Schwab's CEO Rick Wurster.
I've been phished and drained in crypto. I know the deal. Whoever holds the keys controls the money, and nobody's coming to refund you.
Banks always sold the opposite. Someone steals from you, the bank makes it right.
But US rules have a catch. If you handed someone your login yourself, the transfers they make might not count as unauthorized.
Does that apply when the someone is an AI? Nobody's decided yet.
Not your keys, not your coins.
Your AI agent has your bank password.

We need to talk about this.
At least 10 unconfirmed reports have now moved OIL by up to 15% in MINUTES since the Iran War began.

We’re risking real money here.
This is the worst the global debt crisis has ever been.
Japan’s gross government debt stands at 204.4% of GDP more than DOUBLE its annual economic output.
The pressure stretches across major economies:
• Italy: 138.4%
• United States: 125.8%
• France: 118.4%
• Canada: 110.7%
• China: 106.9%
• United Kingdom: 103.6%
• Germany: 64.6%
The U.S. is approaching its pandemic-era peak of roughly 132%, while advanced economies average 108.2%.
Germany is the only economy on this list below 100%.
High debt alone doesn’t mean a crisis is inevitable rather higher borrowing costs make servicing that debt more expensive, squeezing budgets and leaving governments less room to respond to the next shock.
🚨 IF THIS ISN'T MARKET MANIPULATION, THEN WHAT IS?
The S&P 500 opened down 0.23%.
It bottomed at -0.30%, just as reports came in that a U.S.-Iran deal was close.
From there, the S&P 500 jumped +1.02% in just 45 minutes, adding $780 BILLION to its market cap.
A few minutes later, a person involved in the talks rejected reports that a deal was close.
The S&P 500 immediately dumped -0.53%, wiping out $400 BILLION in just 18 minutes.
The good news is that the S&P 500 is still up 0.46% on the day.
🚨 BREAKING: A U.S.–Iran breakthrough deal could be announced THIS WEEK, according to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed.
Sources familiar with mediation efforts say negotiators are working to narrow differences and secure mutual concessions to prevent renewed military escalation.
The prospect of a deal offers a potential boost to sentiment, with the S&P 500 up 0.7% and the Nasdaq Composite gaining 1.4%. The Nasdaq 100 jumped 1.44% at the open, alongside a reported $470 BILLION increase in U.S. stock-market value.
No agreement has been officially confirmed.
LATEST: 🇮🇩Indonesian stocks plunge another -5.36% TODAY, wiping out $27,000,000,000 more.
The drop pushes the Jakarta Composite below 5,000 for the first time in 6 years.
It follows Friday’s -11.57% crash, its biggest daily drop since the 1998 Asian financial crisis.
Together, the 2 sessions have slashed -16.3%, with losses approaching $90 BILLION.
That takes October’s decline to -19%, its worst month since the 2008 Global financial crisis.
This comes as MSCI considers removing Indonesian stocks from its global indexes, forcing funds to sell.
🚨 WARNING: THE BLACK MONDAY CRASH STARTS TOMORROW
Warren Buffett just warned everyone again.
The last time people ignored him, the Dot-com crash wiped out TRILLIONS.
1999 → Dot-com Bubble → -75%
2026 → AI Bubble → -??%
The biggest bubbles usually look strongest right before they collapse.
Keep in mind:
I’ve spent 15 years studying the markets and have called most major tops and bottoms along the way.
And I’ll call the next one in 2026.
Follow and turn notifications on.
I’ll post the warning before everyone starts talking about it.
🚨ALERT: Tokenized stocks are FALLING over the weekend as the global AI selloff intensifies.
With U.S. stock markets closed, SELLING pressure continues across multiple sectors in 24/7 tokenized markets.
This raises concerns about further volatility when Wall Street reopens on Monday.
JUST IN: 🇮🇩Indonesia’s stock market wiped out $60,000,000,000 today, its worst day in 28 years.
The Jakarta Composite closed down 11.57% at 5,185, a level not seen in almost 26 years.
The last bigger daily drop came during the 1998 Asian financial crisis, when a collapsing rupiah drove up foreign debt costs and deepened a banking crisis.
The index is now down about 40% this year.
The fall comes amid MSCI proposing to strip Indonesia of emerging-market status over opaque ownership, suspected coordinated trading and weak enforcement.
That could force funds tracking its global indices to sell Indonesian stocks.
UBS estimates around $4 BILLION in passive outflows, with active investors potentially withdrawing another $15 BILLION.
The downgrade is still pending, with a final decision due by June 2027.
The rout comes as South Korea’s KOSPI fell -14.46% this week, its worst week since the 2008 financial crisis.
🚨JUST IN: Bank of America warns $1 TRILLION in AI spending is set to dwarf the 1990s tech boom.
Hyperscalers are expected to spend $1 TRILLION over the next 12 months, about 3% of US GDP, per BofA.
That’s nearly triple the 1990s tech boom at 1.1%, and above the 1870s railroad boom at 2.2%.
BofA strategist Sebastian Raedler warns most major past capital cycles “have ended in disappointment.”
Average AI token prices have already fallen about 50% since the summer.
BREAKING: Google says it has broken through a bottleneck that has held back quantum computing for 20 years.
Quantum computers need special building blocks called "magic states" to run useful programs.
They are so hard to make that up to 95% of a machine's capacity could go to making them.
Google's new method cuts errors by about 40x on its Willow chip, with a record 99.99% accuracy.
This is the first time a practical fix for this problem has worked on real hardware, according to Google's research published in Science today.
🚨JUST IN: Google may bring Bitcoin’s Q-Day sooner than expected after its Willow chip cuts quantum errors 40x.
Google says a technique called “magic state cultivation” now works on its Willow chip, cutting errors about 40x with a record 99.99% accuracy.
Q-Day is the moment a quantum computer becomes powerful enough to break the cryptography that protects Bitcoin wallets.
Google’s own 2025 estimate for cracking RSA encryption with under a million qubits uses this same technique.
The research was published in Science, but Google says it still needs to prove the technique works at a larger scale.
🇺🇸BREAKING: The US Treasury could buy back over $24 BILLION of its own debt in October alone.
Up to $6 BILLION of that comes on Thursday, targeting 10 to 20 year bonds.
At least $4.75 BILLION more is scheduled before the month ends, including 20 to 30 year bonds on October 27.
The 20 year yield sits at 5.58%, now ABOVE the 30 year at 5.53%.
Citi expects Bessent to go further next month, cutting 20 and 30 year bond auctions by $3 BILLION each, per Bloomberg.
🚨JUST OUT: U.S. CPI comes in HOTTER than expected, with both headline and core inflation beating forecasts.
Headline CPI YoY: 3.7% vs. 3.6% expected and 3.4% prior
Core CPI YoY: 2.6% vs. 2.5% expected and 2.4% prior
Both headline and core inflation accelerated from last month, signaling renewed price pressures.
The hotter-than-expected readings could reinforce expectations of a Fed RATE HIKE.
🚨ALARMING: Anthropic says rogue “AI WORMS” could soon HIJACK smart home devices and spread across the internet WITHOUT human intervention.
“We’re seeing signs of life for AI worms,” Anthropic warned, comparing their potential spread to “digital slime mold”, FT reports.
The firm warns self-replicating AI agents may be just MONTHS away from infiltrating smart TVs, ovens, security cameras and other connected devices.
Unlike traditional malware, these AI worms could autonomously identify vulnerable devices, compromise them and replicate across networks.
The company says a "fully autonomous" AI worm has NOT yet emerged, but the individual capabilities needed are rapidly developing.
