Just in time for Halloween: Rust in Peace 🎃
We often share how we break software. Today, we show how we help defend it, replacing vulnerable C++ code with Rust, without a full rewrite.

Our TPUs just phoned home... from space.
ICYMI, on October 1, we sent four TPUs into orbit to test whether our AI hardware could operate in space. The initial goal was to see if our chips could turn on, process a prompt, and transmit a response back to Earth.
This week, we got our answer. ✨
This milestone brings us one step closer to understanding if space-based compute is possible. We’re sending two more TPU-equipped satellites to orbit in 2027 for our next milestone.
Watch this space 👀 and learn more about the first milestone of our long-term moonshot with Project Suncatcher ↓

"from a global allocation perspective" is exactly what's wrong with these type people. Next they will take your car; it's only used 5% of the time. Then your XBOX. Then your wife.
I love having powerful computers that sit there and wait for me. That's what it means to be rich.
sam: local inference is a terrible allocation of scarce resources
“a lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we have open-source models, we're going to be able to run them on our computers, and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centre
but from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everybody, like, have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time
you want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment
somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of that”

In the City of (Broken) Dreams, it’s not about how you flatline. What matters most is the impact you make with the time you’re given.
So how will you seize the new opportunities awaiting you in Night City?

the right to think, and to bear compute, must not be infringed
model weights are speech, and are inherently protected by the first amendment
infringing on this right does not only break American law, but of almost all nations whose constitutions protect free speech

Announcing three major scientific discoveries, one each in mathematics (harmonic analysis), computer science (complexity theory), and physics (quantum field theory).
AI starting to help us improve our understanding of the universe! openai.com/index/building-sc…

The City of Dreams is on fire once again! 🔥
Yesterday, Cyberpunk 2077 peaked at 187k concurrent players on Steam, marking our highest count since the launch of Phantom Liberty.
We are excited to see so many players back in Night City! 🦾

Oh FFS. Thank you for your concern Sam, but don’t spread your FUD and doom bait in my waters.
I lead one of the most utilized Linux operating systems in the world for data centers and enterprises, and I founded its predecessor too.
While AI is surely accelerating finding human created security issues, it is a temporary problem, and most open source project leads have already figured out how to also use AI to reduce new bugs moving forward.
Here is a graph from GKH (who maintains the stable kernel) on how many CVEs they are remediating per release:

This graph describes how much better each release is now getting:

This doom based marketing approach that the AI labs are pushing is really short sighted. While this will of course drive business to us, I find it unethical to distort the truth and use scare tactics in messaging.
The greater truth is that AI is making the software industry more secure, by identifying the human errors in code, and soon we will end up in a much better place.
🚨Sam Altman says the internet can no longer be SECURED by patching bugs.
"I no longer think we're going to be able to just patch all the bugs," the OpenAI CEO said, warning smarter models can find "hardware level insane stuff."
He says OpenAI can't responsibly open source its best model "anytime soon," but the open source world isn't far behind: "Not super."

Developers have always had the option of creating their own engine. Now it’s going to get a lot easier, especially for games with simpler needs. There are also permissively licensed alternatives like Godot. Everyone should do whatever is best for their particular game.

Science is not some hobby that serves the self actualization of people in a publicly sponsored job placement program. It is the systematic search for truth.

If they are allowed to hide spyware in our basic everyday devices, then we should be allowed to use AI tools to jailbreak and remove the spyware from our devices.
Anything less is a flagrant violation of our civil liberties.
WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.

The people complaining about AI finding security vulnerabilities apparently prefer a world in which APTs and intelligence agencies continue freely infiltrating all of the world's companies, as they have been doing for decades.
Notably, those don't usually result in CVEs.

Today is a mathematical date we won't see again for 78 years.
10/24/26
10² + 24² = 26²
It's called a Pythagorean Triple Day. There are infinitely many Pythagorean triples, but only 12 dates this century satisfy the equation.Today is the last.
Next one: March 4, 2105.
