Apparently the company, @Superhuman, that owns Grammarly, will carpet bomb your employees with emails if you indicate to them that you're ending your Grammarly sub with them. What psycho there thought this was remotely ok?

OpenAI's Noam Brown says air-gapping the computers may not stop a misaligned AI, because two air-gapped machines can still talk by running a CPU hot and reading the temperature change

Don’t be fooled by this. Chinese companies are never in it for the revenue. They are in it for power and control.
Huawei famously lost billions of dollars stealing IP and selling it at a loss compared with their western competitors so they could gain control over the world‘s telecommunications networks. They’re doing the same thing with AI.
❗️ T-Mobile's chief operating officer posted warehouse photos of boxed iPhone 18 Pro units with readable unique device IDs on them: serial numbers and IMEIs.
Those IDs are what carriers and Apple use for activation, warranty, inventory, and lost or stolen reports.
With a public IMEI or serial, someone can try to abuse the systems built around those numbers: attempt a fraudulent lost or stolen report, which can get a device blocked from cellular networks, or clone the number onto counterfeit handsets, a known trick that works by copying IMEIs straight off retail packaging.
GPT-6 Astra deciphered a 1918 German radio transmission that, to my knowledge, has never been deciphered before.
The message below translates to:
"EIN ENGLISCHER KREUZER EINLIEG X SEWASTOPOL X S4STEN X EIN GESCHWADER DER X ALLIIERTEN FOLGT 26STEN X"
or, in English:
"AN ENGLISH CRUISER ARRIVED AT SEVASTOPOL ON THE ?4TH AN ALLIED SQUADRON FOLLOWS ON THE 26TH"
Astra even double-checked its work by determining that an English cruiser, HMS Canterbury, reported its arrival in Sevastopol on November 24, 1918 and the arrival of an allied squadron on November 26, 1918.
This message is one of the ~20 WWI German radio messages that appear as one of the entries in the scienceblogs.de list of top 50 unsolved ciphers (scienceblogs.de/klausis-krypto…).
A minor, but really cool result!
CFO Mark Davies and legal chief Andy Missan signed each other’s severance agreements while Matt Mullenweg was on leave, providing a year of salary and additional equity vesting if their departures qualify for the benefits.
