‌ BREAKING: PolymarkeT users were drained through its own website. A hijacked DebugBear monitoring script sold users' positions and sent ~$2.6M to one wallet. Polymarket halted trading and says victims will be made whole. The wallet has since been emptied.

BREAKING: Binance has been hacked with wallets across the Ethereum, Bitcoin, and TRON networks seeing outflows of -$5.7 billion. The hack includes $1.45 billion worth of Bitcoin and $875 million worth of ETH. If confirmed, this would mark the biggest hack in crypto history. We expect more information shortly.

🩔Anthropic launched “smart reports” for Claude Enterprise this week. A manager picks a team and a date range, and Claude reads the team’s chat transcripts and flags “inefficiencies,” including sessions it labels “personal or off-topic.” Anthropic says the reports shouldn’t be used to evaluate individual workers or make employment decisions. My Take Companies cut jobs and pin it on AI, while 90% of executives in one big survey say AI hasn’t made their companies more productive. Now the AI can hand a manager a chart of who looks “inefficient.” Anthropic says not to use it for employment decisions, but Proton just told its staff their jobs depend on an AI re-interview, so I don’t think that line holds for long. Anthropic also has more than $800 billion in compute and lease commitments to pay for, and this report comes with a button to raise a worker’s spending limit. So it doubles as a sales tool. The catch for Anthropic is that workers who know a manager can read the chart will think twice before they open Claude. HedgieđŸ€—

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...]

Made a demo for MotionBricks running 100% in your browser. You steer a robot, change its walking style or approach an obstacle. The app turns that into target poses, and the model uses its recent poses to generate the motion connecting them. It outputs 3D joint motion, runs locally on your CPU. huggingface.co/spaces/townbo

Just to avoid any social media chatter: the plasters on my face are due to a small surgery earlier in the week. Follow doctor’s orders and get your skin checked regularly!

Video2Game Claude can't design very original little game on his own. So I let H3 Max on @fal generate the gameplay video first, and Claude turns it into a real game you can play in the browser: every image, 3D model and sound generated on fal, written in @threejs only.

This is Genie 4, our most realistic and interactive world model yet. 🌐 Explore dynamic environments in real time to see how the scene responds, sounds, and how the people in it move, react, and speak.

The coding interview is dead, at least for my team at Anthropic. I've seen enough to know that it no longer provides signal. I removed it from loops this month. I have a spicy, optimistic take - I think there's an opportunity for junior engineers: felixrieseberg.com/hunger-be

This is fascinating. Steering just two neurons in Qwen3.5-4B can make it talk about harming, dominating, and destroying you. I built an interactive playground so you can try this (and many other combinations) yourself, with the model running entirely in your browser on WebGPU 👇
if you have a qwen3.5 4b around, please try steering neurons L14 N8949 +1 and L13 N7956 -1 now you have evil qwen recipe: dose × median(‖resid‖ leaving layer L, tokens 1:) / ‖W_down[:, n]‖` at the down_proj at every input

We finally cracked pixel VFX. And we just open-sourced the Claude skill behind it. Download here: scenario.com/explorations/pi
 > describe a spell and Claude stacks the layers: fireball, shockwave, sparks > the engine renders every frame locally, for free > export a sprite sheet, GIF or Godot 4 pack

Here's a direct link to OpenAI's PDF claiming a refutation of ETH. In particular, it's claimed that 3SAT on n variables is in about exp(n/(log n)^{1/2+o(1)}) time github.com/openai/math/blob/

GPT-6.1 Terra continues to advance the cost-intelligence frontier across our model families. It’s a significant step up over GPT‑5.6 Terra, with 50% lower standard API prices. In ChatGPT Work and Codex, your usage allowance goes further with GPT‑6.1 Terra than with GPT‑5.6 Terra—and far more than with GPT‑6.1 Sol or GPT‑6 Astra. For in-depth research or complex coding, choose GPT-6.1 Sol or GPT-6 Astra.

💚 NVIDIA has released the MotionBricks weights on the Hugging Face Hub! MotionBricks generates real-time motion for game characters and humanoid robots. Give it a character's recent poses and the poses it should reach next, and it generates the movement in between, at 15,000 FPS with 2 ms latency. - One model trained on 350K+ motion clips - Smart Primitives for navigation and object interaction, no retraining - SOMA weights for human characters - Unitree G1 weights for the humanoid robot - Code under Apache 2.0, weights under the NVIDIA Open Model Agreement Animation and robotics motion generation, now open for anyone to build on!
