in this series, the 'boomers' are mass-produces bio-organic androids used for labor and defense which begin malfunctioning and rampaging throughout the city: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble…
basically well equipped NPCs
i think a really power use of ai could be auto-dub for tv shows whereas it can also edit the mouth movements -- found a number of shows id watch but i cant be bothered with the subtitles
wonder why it was designed that way, huh?
I’ve heard several OAI people say there are unfixable bugs in hardware that are exploitable by AI models directly speaking machine code so even if we could solve software that’s not enough. We need defense to move faster than offense if that’s even possible we may just have a new normal that requires adapting to insecure software (bank transfers require going into a branch and taking a dna test 🤣😬)
the gov doesnt redacted disclosures, and now anyone can publish redacted disclosures, memos or otherwise; and we use cryptography instead of a black sharpie

there'll only ever be 21m bitcoins

SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

big if true
Someone hacked my uncles Charles Schwab account and sold 49k of his stocks on Friday. Luckily he caught it on Monday morning and they were able to freeze the funds in time. Charles Schwab is trying to tell him that he must have shared his password or fell for a fishing
scam. Then the thieves tried to transfer the remaining funds to an account in Palm Springs. Looks like Schwab has been breached. And they are blaming their customers.

most of projects that did multi million dollar tges in recent years either stopped building or are wondering where to launch a new project
billions in capital turned to trash bc of these bad actors and ~everyone looked other way just to grab a small slice of pie
this times a million
look the foundational problem with ethereum protocol design is that most of the people designing the protocol don't actually use ethereum themselves. you can't fix the right things if you don't use your own fucking product. you don't have enough skin in the game if you don't personally depend on the system you're designing & stand to lose money when it breaks. i understand, everything looks great from an ivory tower lol. things look very different when you're actually on the ground dealing with the consequences. if you don't use ethereum yourself but still think you're qualified to design its protocol, you're playing god with a system you don't have to live with and whose consequences you don't have to suffer.
no one is above the law: if there exceptions made to some, then those exceptions should be made equal for all under the law, modifying the law as such; but if the law change for all is unacceptable, then it should not be acceptable for any person to be granted an exception.
crypto: not just for speculation
who coulda guessed that open-source, cryptographically secured communication applications would so profoundly shape how we protect our personal effects, private property, and also public goods and related infrastructure
For too long, "crypto" has been treated as something other than tech, something that can be mostly ignored by the broader tech community.
I think, if anything, this week's hacks will lead to a greater awareness that crypto was solving real problems that affect all of tech.
Is it even possible to write software that is 100% secure, that never gets hacked even once?
I think the answer is only when you have a global open-source community working on a shared codebase that is open source and public, and there are built-in incentives to keep the code secure.
I think we are close to the broader tech world coming to understand that crypto has always been just frontier technology that will have a very big role to play in the future, securing value on the internet, and will be used for way more than money, such as identity for AI agents, deeds for real estate, and eventually governance and voting.

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.
what's your password?
4
...as in 4 words?
no, like the number
...ok...so four?
no, literally just the number 4.
