Interesting ingredient. Part of the secret recipe I am sure…
🚨WHAT?! A study discovered fluorescent CARBON NANODOTS inside Coca-Cola and Pepsi that cross the BLOOD–BRAIN BARRIER. The findings emerged after the Gates Foundation began investing in both PepsiCo and the world's LARGEST Coca-Cola bottler — a stake now valued at $660 MILLION The nanoparticles are about 5 nanometers wide, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, with GRAPHITIC structural features. When administered to mice, the carbon nanodots invaded multiple organs, including the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, and lungs. Similar carbon nanodots are being engineered for medical imaging, drug delivery, and cancer therapy. One possible explanation is that they formed during high-temperature processing of sugars and caramel coloring. Alternatively, carbon dots can be deliberately manufactured through chemical synthesis, using controlled heating, carbon precursors, and surface modifications to produce nanoparticles with specific properties. The researchers could NOT establish the particles' exact origin.

my spidey senses are telling me the labs are, as we speak, using unguardrailed versions of their unreleased models to systematically reverse-engineer ALL of the internet’s software, apps, and games, then feeding the reconstructed source code straight into their training pipelines while simultaneously building guardrails to ladder-pull the rest of us

Last night an AI agent performed brain surgery on a mouse. We gave it 19 gene therapy vectors in a spreadsheet, a mouse model of epilepsy, access to a motorize surgery rig with cameras and one goal: reduce seizures. It picked the drug. It picked the brain region. It derived the coordinates from three papers. Then it drove the stereotaxic arms into the brain and injected 250 nanolitres while watching the entry site through the rig camera for bleeding. A licensed vet gated every irreversible step and held a physical kill switch to stop the AI agent. Thread on what it decided, what it saw, and the moment it refused to let me override it. [Writing this on the spot out of excitement, but I've been 18hrs in front of my laptop coding and coordinating this, so keeping it brief and descriptive, more cohesive thoughts on this soon...]

That PHP vulnerability that’s gonna cause havoc this week was found with… GPT‑5.6 Sol.
OpenAI models helped researchers—operating as part of our Patch the Planet initiative—discover critical security flaws in PHP, an open-source programming language used to run an estimated 70% of websites. Over the past two months, we led a coalition of maintainers, researchers, and security providers to prepare fixes and protections ahead of disclosure. This duration was necessary because the fix was quite intricate and required a major change to the PHP engine. Every site using PHP can now safely upgrade their version to stay secure, in addition to applying mitigations from various security vendors. Due to the severity of these flaws and PHP’s widespread use, we consider this bug to be one of the most impactful vulnerabilities in recent memory. It also marks a new phase, where AI can find security bugs with internet-scale impact. This is an example of the Defender’s Window in action: to our knowledge, frontier AI was able to find this vulnerability ahead of attackers, giving defenders time to prepare. openai.com/index/coordinated…

Crazy 72 hours in security. Three major incidents dropped back-to-back: eMudhra, PingCAP (TiDB Cloud), and PHP. Here is the short version of what happened and who got hit. 1. eMudhra (Trusted CA compromise) eMudhra generated 8 intermediate CA certificates in April 2025 (cross-signed by Sectigo). A bug in their HSM key-wrapping test script created a second set of P-384 keys where the private keys were single-byte numbers under 256. Operators picked the wrong key labels and signed them into real CA certs. One of the intermediate CA private keys was literally the number 4. The other seven: 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, 237. Three weeks later (May 2025), their CRL signatures started failing because the CRL signer was using the real keys instead of the weak ones. Instead of asking why the keys didn't match, someone switched the CRL signer to the weak keys and closed the ticket. • Browsers are safe: Chrome, Firefox, Apple, and Microsoft already blocked them, and zero rogue certs hit CT logs. • Servers are not: curl, Python (certifi), Go binaries, and Docker base images don't check CRLs. Update ca-certificates, certifi, and Go (1.27.3 / 1.26.10). • 10-second check on any server: curl dv-g3b-emudhra.we-have-a-pro… (TLS error = safe. 200 OK = still vulnerable.) 2. PingCAP / TiDB Cloud (10.6 TB breach) Attackers found GCP and Azure credentials committed inside PingCAP's own repos. They set up a replication feed of TiDB Cloud's production control plane and exported the entire database every 6 hours for 22 straight days. 88 full exports, zero alerts. 200 GB is already out on torrents. Beyond the 413 private repos and 20.6M customer SQL queries logged from their web SQL Editor, PingCAP engineers were pasting customer secrets into Jira tickets. Who is affected in the leaked records: • Live credentials exposed in support tickets: - Pinterest: AWS keys for their pingcap-logs S3 bucket - CardX / Silverlake (NPCI-linked env): AWS admin key in a backup log with full access to 258 external S3 buckets - DeBank: 38 presigned S3 URLs - An unnamed AI/dev platform: a 314 MB slow-query log attached to a ticket containing 8,027 live customer secrets (an AWS root key, a GitHub admin PAT over 1,701 repos, 7,485 AWS STS tokens, and 192 OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini keys) • Tenants with infra metadata, VPC CIDRs, app-server IPs, or contract pricing exposed: - Tech: Atlassian, Databricks, Airbnb, Baidu, LINE, Nylas, Persona, PatSnap - E-comm & Travel: Booking.com, Shopee, Flipkart, Mercari, ZOZO, AEON, Delhivery, Klook - Gaming: Capcom, Square Enix, Konami, Bandai Namco, Cygames, Colopl, DMM - Finance: PayPay, SoftBank, SBI, SB Payment Service, Fujitsu, TOPPAN, Bank of China, China Life - Crypto: Bitget (said only public trade logs were on it and they already left), Pionex, DigiPlus, NFTscan, Chainbase • Developer profiles leaked (from a purchased reo.dev table in PingCAP's BigQuery): - 24,900 personal emails + GitHub/LinkedIn profiles of engineers at Tencent (3,327), Huawei (2,726), ByteDance (2,475), AIG (2,140), Mastercard, Flipkart, and bKash. If you use TiDB Cloud: rotate your console API keys, DB passwords, and anything you ever pasted into a support ticket. 3. PHP "PHP2Shell" (CVE-2026-109618 & CVE-2026-109619) Two CVSS 9.2 pre-auth RCEs leaked yesterday ahead of today's 14:00 UTC patch. Public writeups trace it to a heap Use-After-Free in PHP's native C multipart/form-data session upload-progress handler (ext/session/session.c). Because C-level multipart parsing runs before line 1 of index.php: • App auth, Laravel/WordPress middleware, and file_uploads = Off do not stop it. • Only PHP 8.2–8.5 get official patches today (59% of PHP servers on Shodan are on EOL <= 8.1). • Until you patch php-fpm: lock php_admin_flag[session.upload_progress.enabled] = off and block unexpected multipart requests at Nginx/Apache/Cloudflare.

I've attempted to map everything in oncology in a public website and open source repo for all. The site is trying to get all cancers, products, technologies, bottlenecks, people, startup opportunities with 1000+ ideas for upgrading the field. If you have a loved one with cancer and you are technical or can engineer, go take a look, file improvement requests or bugs or help with the open repo and make this the best open and free info resource for individuals, researchers and educational use. This should save people time, aid AI oncology projects and generate positive action. If you are not technical just complain in this thread about broken or annoying or things you want and I'll fix them live. Some of the interesting pages: Treatments: onco.cc/drugs A gallery of the molecules being used onco.cc/molecules/ And targets: onco.cc/targets/ The technologies in oncology: onco.cc/technologies/ 1100 ideas for helping oncology: onco.cc/ideas/ Bottlenecks on oncology: onco.cc/bottlenecks/ Open questions (LETS GO RESEARCH PEOPLE) onco.cc/open-questions/ Startup requests (LETS GO STARTUP PEOPLE) onco.cc/startup-requests/ Mechanics of cancer: onco.cc/mechanics Battlefronts: onco.cc/fronts/ Isotope supply: onco.cc/isotopes Key papers: onco.cc/key-papers Pipeline funnels: onco.cc/pipeline Cancer by type: onco.cc/cancers/ Institutional rankings: onco.cc/institutions/ The startups: onco.cc/startups/ Heros and heroines : onco.cc/heroes/ Key medical people: onco.cc/people/ Here is the project roadmap: onco.cc/roadmap/ Models and data sets: onco.cc/models/ There are other views as well, take a browse. Try making a PR if you have an upgrade to this on the repo here: github.com/judegomila/OnCo If you are biologically/medically minded and something is wrong, file a bug as well or say on the thread and we will get it fixed live. If this is a useful project star the repo and help get it calibrated. I've tried to add some other languages but I cannot speak them so tell me if that doesnt work well. I believe we will crack oncology and having total information dominance is key to the problem. Let the feedback flow!

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free) • Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

Well, it looks like the Chinese are making mithril
that's 3d printed titanium btw and it's draping like fabric 3D printed lattice so fine it moves like cloth but carries aerospace loads this structure makes it flexible without sacrificing that strength. when you control geometry at this scale, material properties stop being fixed you design the behavior, not just the shape this isn't just aerospace it's what manufacturing looks like when the printer becomes precise enough to challenge what a material is supposed to do

A Luneburg lens bends an Electromagnetic wave without a curved boundary. Instead its dielectric constant changes continuously from the centre to the edge. This forces different parts of the wavelength to travel at different speeds. Here, we solve the full 2D TM EM wave equation on an unstructured triangular mesh using the Finite Element Method (FEM).

🔻BREAKING: SWITZERLAND BANS MAMMOGRAPHY – THE MEDICAL FRAUD UNVEILED Switzerland has just become the first country to ban mammography, exploding the truth behind one of the biggest frauds in medical history. For decades women have been terrorized, misdiagnosed and mutilated by a system not designed to heal, but to profit. Now the mask is removed. Mammography was never about saving lives. It was about making patients. The facts are damning: Up to 60% false positives - Half of all diagnoses are incorrect. Women are put through chemo, mastectomies and radiation for diseases they never had. The test itself is dangerous – Breasts subjected to brutal crushing, tissue bombarded with radiation. A "cancer test" that causes cancer. Risk of tumor spread - Studies indicate that mammography may actually stimulate the growth of tumors. Picture believing in a test that promotes the very disease it says it’s trying to prevent. 690,000+ over-diagnoses – Healthy women were marked sick, turned into cash cows for Big Medicine. That’s not healthcare. It's organized crime against women." A profit machine built on fear, propaganda, and mandatory annual screenings that trap millions in a cycle of overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Switzerland is at war with the medical mafia. Their ban is not just a matter of policy, it is a revolutionary act that exposes the dirty secret of profits over people. The rest of the world can’t pretend anymore. The simple truth is: better, safer options exist. Crush and radiation? No. Manual exams and advanced imaging prove it. The medical industry knows this but they keep them quiet to preserve their billion dollar empire. Global Call to Action: – Cease mammography in all countries. – Track down and prosecute the profiteers. – Fund humane and safe diagnostics. – Teach women with truth, not fear propaganda. Switzerland has set the fuse. The medical establishment will fight to defend its empire, but the cracks are beginning to show. The lies will not hold up. This is not simply about identifying breast cancer, it’s about exposing the whole system that feeds off human suffering. Switzerland has taken the first step in a worldwide revolution for real healthcare. The question is: Will the world rise up or allow the medical mafia to continue destroying lives for profit? The time for silence has passed. The truth is revealed. ♟️

🇺🇸 Google wants to buy a dead airline's internal messages for $10 million. Spirit Airlines stopped flying in May, and now Google wants roughly 100 million emails, 500 million Teams messages and millions of employee records going back decades. Customer data is excluded, but employee data isn't. A third party would strip identifying information before Google gets it, while keeping the links between records intact. Why does Google want all of this? It says the data could help improve its products and AI models. A bankruptcy judge decides tomorrow whether the $10 million sale can go ahead. The other bidder offered $7.5 million. Turns out even a dead airline's inbox can be worth millions in the AI age. Source: Axios / Writer: Daniyal
