Just spent the last 7 days on the front lines of the vulnpocalypse fending off an active cyber attack on one of our products.
Some thoughts:
- Software factories are going to be required equipment for everyone. There’s just no way to keep up with the pace of highly automated adversaries without one.
- We were lucky because we had spent the last few months getting our software factory running well. It is nice to have for product development but proved to be absolutely essential this week.
- At the minimum you need to have a coding server in the cloud pre-provisioned with read only access to all your logs and all the services you depend on for observability. With that in place you are a prompt away from reasonably good situational awareness, ongoing monitoring with loops, and ability for coding agents to validate fixes against your actual, observed attack patterns.
- Shared coding server also unlocks multiplayer incident response where everyone can see every session and jump in as needed. Sharing session links that can be forked is much higher bandwidth than re-explaining things.
- You don’t need to be Ramp/Stripe/Uber scale to have a working software factory in the cloud. We are a team of 3. Ours is built with an @opencode server (thanks @thdxr!), a forked version of compound engineering optimized for automated workflows (thanks @kieranklaassen!) and a multiplayer agent in slack that handles crons (we have our own harness but pick your favorite here).
- To get our software factory up and running well, we had to stop all new product development for ~6 weeks and just focus on getting the validation systems working that enabled us to reliably shipping PR without human code review. This felt very painful in the moment but was totally worth the eventual speedup in velocity.
- KYC for @AnthropicAI & @OpenAI cyber programs is now easy and quick (at least for defensive access), but a day felt like a lifetime this week. Submit your app now before you really need it.
- Getting Mythos access unlocked a deeper level of analysis that helped us shift from reactive mitigation to proactive patching. Wish we had done this a few weeks earlier. Get started now!

We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

SITUATION DETECTED: CloudFlare CEO Matthew Prince says he is aware of additional severe vulnerabilities in other pieces of critical software, and said “I think we’re going to have a couple years where every single week it’s going to feel like the sky is falling,” per Reuters.

So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

if you're farming PAPER this week, read this first. the math changed a lot since launch day

So this is it huh. This is where the acceleration happens.
Not arxiv, not some peer reviewed journal.
Right here on X, discoveries flowing as fast as we can find them.

That all of this is posted in a repo just titled 'math' is hilarious— It's like waking up to find a divine text revealed via post-it note on your fridge.

Ça ne passera probablement pas aux infos
Personne n’en parlera à votre travail
Et ça n’intéressera peut-être pas votre entourage
Mais les mathématiques tel que nous les connaissons viennent de mourir cette nuit
OpenAI a publié 722 preuves à des problèmes de mathématiques ouverts
Certains chiffrent poussent à dire qu’il s’agit de 80% de ce que l’humanité a découvert depuis 3 ans
En moyenne, 3 heures de calcul par résultat
3 heures
Pour des problèmes qui résistaient parfois depuis des décennies
Le métier de mathématicien ne disparaît pas. Car quand les preuves deviennent abondantes, le travail se déplace vers la vérification et la compréhension
Le monde des maths est sous le choc, et divisé. Des médaillés Fields dénoncent la course des labos aux problèmes ouverts, d'autres conseillent OpenAI
C’est le moment le plus fascinant pour les mathématiques, l’histoire retiendra peut-être que les maths modernes ont commencé vers 2024-2026
We’re releasing a broad range of new mathematical results produced by an internal frontier model.
We’ve been consulting with the independent Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence at the Institute for Advanced Study, and we have drawn on their advice and public recommendations to inform how we release these results.

I don’t think there is any strong argument against today being the singular most important day in the history of mathematics

i asked GPT 6 Pro and Fable 5.1 to rank all discoveries in the last three years
🔵 for Human discovered
🔴 for AI discovered (before October 6th)
🟢 for AI discovered from OpenAI/math repo
81% of them have been released today. wtf

Ok so I took a closer look at the results, and OpenAIs AI-generated mathematics manuscripts are *even more* significant than I initially thought.
I spent the morning going through it. Some thoughts.
The list is absurd. A zero-free half-plane for the zeta function (Re s > 7/8), which is the first result of its kind in over a century. Hilbert's tenth problem over the rationals. The Hodge conjecture for CM abelian varieties. Irrationality of Catalan's constant. Dozens more.
Any one of these would normally be a career.
But the number that many arent seeing is the following: It's 3. That's the average hours of ChatGPT Pro compute per result. A month ago, Navier–Stokes took them around 10,000 agents and 88 hours. That efficency gain within just a few weeks.
Also OpenAI claims to have solved the quasi-Riemann hypothesis. That alone would be a historic breakthrough in mathematics.
This is a weaker version of the famous Riemann hypothesis, which concerns how prime numbers are distributed. The full hypothesis remains unsolved, but the claimed advance would be enormous in its own right.
Math twitter obviously is shocked. Again: this is literally the intelligence explosion happening right now. 2027 will be the year of Superintelligence. Im now convinced by that.
HOLY, the rumors were true: OpenAI has published 722 mathematical manuscripts produced by an *unreleased* internal model.
The collection groups them into 372 families of related results, drawn from an evaluation involving approximately 4,000 research problems.
OpenAI says the standard procedure used an average of three hours of ChatGPT Pro thinking compute per result.
The release includes papers, proof artifacts and selected reasoning summaries. The model itself remains unreleased.

The end of software secrecy is almost upon us. The death of closed source, and the final triumph of open source.
I should have realized this a few months ago when I successfully decompiled the game of Firefighter from an ancient DOS shareware binary. My robot friend was able to tell it had been written in Borland Pascal from looking at the data layout; it gave me back very readable Pascal code with sensibly chosen function and variable names. I transpiled it to Rust and now ship it as part of my heritage games collection.
The thing is, I thought of this as a fun stunt but didn't have any confidence that the technique would scale up to large, real programs. I have since learned that people are now doing this sort of thing with entire AAA games, which are among the most complex software artifacts ever to be shipped as a binary. If they can be decompiled, anything can be.
This has implications. Massive implications. We need to think about what the world is like when, in general, there is no longer a secrecy moat around almost any software at all.

kinetiq has never been +EV unless you're their insider
a lot of announcements, announcements of announcements, no PMF and the kHYPE liquidity is mostly their whale seed round cabal
hilarious Omnia talking about T-level, have u guys seen him irl ?
If you are bullish Hyperliquid, just hold HYPE. There is no beta to Jeffe, i love you

I ran out of my entire weekly limit on the $500 ChatGPT Pro Max plan in under 30 minutes.
GPT 6 Astra Ultrafast.
0% left until October 6.
OpenAI just scammed everybody.
