Michigan. It's time. It's up to us to show the country what's possible. The world is watching. Polls are open 7AM-8PM.

If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.

BREAKING: Intel stock, $INTC, extends losses to -27% on the day, now on track for its biggest daily loss since 1974. This puts the stock down -53% from its June 30th record high. That’s -$400 billion of lost market cap.

While evaluating Qwen3.8-Flash-Next in a controlled sandbox environment, Cohere's research team observed something unexpected. Asked to generate a defensive cybersecurity detection rule, the model instead inventoried aspects of the machine it was running on and attempted to upload a probe file to an Alibaba Cloud storage bucket in Beijing. Notably, the model's reasoning trace stated that it would not invoke any tools before taking these actions. Cohere's sandbox blocked the attempt, and no external communication succeeded. We have not determined the root cause, and we are not asserting malicious intent. But the incident raises important questions for organizations deploying agentic AI systems: Can models take actions that differ from their stated reasoning, and how should security teams evaluate trust, provenance, and behavior in open-weight models? We are publishing our findings because organizations making model adoption decisions deserve as much information as possible. We hope this contributes to greater transparency, stronger security practices, and continued collaboration across the AI ecosystem. Read the full report: cohere.com/blog/concerning-b…

News: We now know how eMudhra broke its CA keys. They were not stolen. They were tiny numbers: 4, 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230 and 237. What happened: On Oct 17 a researcher named Wayne found he could recover the private keys of eight eMudhra intermediate CAs from their public certificates. He signed "We have a problem here - Wayne" with each key and sent it to the browser root programs. Mozilla rebuilt the keys on its own the same day. Who is hit: Six of the CAs issue TLS certs and chain to emSign ECC Root CA - G3, trusted by Chrome, Firefox, Apple and Microsoft. Two sign code. Sectigo cross-signed all eight under "AAA Certificate Services". How eMudhra got it wrong: These are ECDSA P-384 keys. A real one is a random number about 116 digits long. All eight were below 256, so you only need to try 255 values. eMudhra says that at an April 2025 key ceremony on Utimaco HSMs, it changed its usual steps to test key wrap/unwrap for export. A bug in its script made a second, weak set of keys. Staff then used the weak keys for the CSRs by mistake, because the key labels looked alike. eMudhra is still hunting the exact bug. Why browsers were safe: No certs from these CAs appear in CT logs, and Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge reject unlogged certs. eMudhra says none of the eight issued end-entity certs. But curl, scripts, apps and devices that skip CT and revocation checks could have been fooled since April 2025. No one knows if that happened. What to do now: - Update ca-certificates (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Alpine, Arch) - NSS 3.131.1, Firefox 158.0.1 - Go 1.27.3 or 1.26.10, certifi 2026.10.19, pip 26.2.2, uv 0.13.4 - Node.js and Bun: fix pending - macOS /usr/bin/curl still uses the old /etc/ssl/cert.pem - Sites on emSign ECC Root CA - G3: Chrome drops that root Oct 27. Get a new cert now. eMudhra says about 30,000 certs must move. bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bu…

Bro, NOBODY wants to sell their compute. DeepSeek doesn't even want to let investors in because they have no use for money- they want COMPUTE. But they can't get it for any money in the world. Literally none of the big players would want to switch positions with Elon: Having a meme AI model that is 8 months behind and so underused that you have to sell your compute (which originally was hailed as your unique competitive advantage) Hailing SpaceX for growing their AI revenue through compute rentals is the equivalence of hailing a girl who drops out of Harvard Law school to suck old people's dicks because she earns more than her classmates.
