this is Dario and sama's worst nightmare - A law firm buying Nvidia servers. Latham & Watkins is building an in-house AI stack.. this is US’s second-largest law firm with $8.3 Billion in revenue last year And now it has - - Nvidia hardware it controls - open-weight models it can fine tune - proprietary legal data it is trusted to protect - infrastructure only Latham employees can access A law firm has decades of contracts, negotiations, client context, legal reasoning, and institutional knowledge. They dont want to give all of that away to OpenAI or Anthropic in exchange for expensive tokens.. And on top of that - risk their data being used to train frontier models.. This will happen more and more now.. The big AI labs have no moat.. nothing protecting their largest customers from moving on.. The biggest companies in the world will - - own the compute - own the data - own the workflow - fine tune the model around their business - switch providers when the pricing or quality changes Dario and sama want to make this illegal by bringing in regulation.. and become the AI overlords..

negative thinking destroys your brain being a silly goose and delusionally optimistic is the ultimate longevity hack

‼️ Anthropic and Google researchers found a flaw that lets one crafted packet hijack a server during network boot, before Secure Boot checks the OS. Almost all servers on earth are affected. CVE-2026-97631 sits in TianoCore EDK II, code in the UEFI firmware of most servers.

It's time to build.

Nature's native language is topography/isomorphism. What is interesting, is that our brain may use representations close to reality but not the same. The representation of a frog might actually resemble a frog. Because we thought LLMs their first weights and tokens but living brains learnt their weights from nature. Their programmer is mother nature. So mother nature talks a common language but not numbers or weights. So frog's 🐸 representation must be in frog shape and cats representation must be in cat shape 🐯. Retinotopy: The visual cortex contains maps of the retina. If you look at a cross-shaped light, a literal cross-shaped patch of neurons fires in your primary visual cortex. Somatotopy: The motor and sensory homunculus map out your body layout directly on the surface of the brain. If you stimulate the "hand" area, you get hand movement; the layout of the brain mirrors the layout of the body. Mother Nature uses spatial mapping because it is the most energy-efficient way to compute: keep things that are close together in the world close together in the neural tissue to minimize axonal wiring length and metabolic waste. Just as a Chladni plate vibrates into a specific geometric shape when exposed to a specific audio frequency, a neural volume responding to a cat or a frog might form a distributed, phase-locked activation pattern that topological maps onto the object's behavioral or physical signature. It is a functional shadow of the object's geometry. The SNARC Effect: Humans naturally map numerical magnitudes onto physical space (e.g., smaller numbers to the left, larger numbers to the right). When you mentally rotate a 3D object, neuroimaging shows that your brain literally rotates the continuous wave activation pattern across its visual cortex over time. The time it takes to rotate an object in your mind scales linearly with the physical angle of rotation (Shepard & Metzler, 1971). This reveals that thought is not a disembodied digital calculation, but an analog, spatial simulation. We don't just think about numbers and reality; we literally "draw" them onto the physical substrate of the brain and read the geometric outcome.

When you shut down a modern iPhone, the Power Management Unit (PMU) cuts voltage to the main A-series processor, the OLED display, and the camera array. It leaves a separate Low Power Mode (LPM) rail live on the motherboard. Sitting on that energized rail are three wireless chips: the Bluetooth controller, the NXP NFC controller, and the Apple U1 Ultra-Wideband chip. Apple built this hardware partition to run "Findable After Power Off," Express Transit passes, and Digital Car Keys when your battery dies. Even with iOS completely unloaded from RAM, those three chips stay powered for up to 24 hours on a manual shutdown (and up to 5 hours on automatic battery reserve). Right before iOS powers down, it pre-computes 96 rolling NIST P-224 public keys (one for every 15-minute window over the next 24 hours) and sends them to the Bluetooth chip using Host Controller Interface (HCI) commands. The final HCI command severs communication with the main processor and starts a standalone thread inside the Bluetooth silicon. While the main SoC sits unpowered, the Bluetooth chip wakes up every 2 seconds to broadcast the current P-224 public key over Bluetooth Low Energy. Any passing iPhone or MacBook that hears that broadcast encrypts its own GPS coordinates with your broadcasted public key and relays the packet to Apple servers. In 2022, researchers at the SEEMOO lab at TU Darmstadt audited this low-power hardware chain ("Evil Never Sleeps") and found a major gap between the three wireless chips. While the NFC chip runs encrypted and signed firmware and the U1 Ultra-Wideband chip checks cryptographic signatures at boot, the Broadcom Bluetooth chip has neither encryption nor signature verification on its firmware updates. Broadcom bakes its base Bluetooth firmware into read-only Mask ROM at the factory. To fix bugs and load the standalone Find My feature, iOS writes raw binary patches directly into the chip internal SRAM using a mechanism called PatchRAM (Write_RAM HCI commands). The hardware never checks a cryptographic signature on those RAM patches. If an attacker already has kernel-level code execution on iOS (through spyware or a local jailbreak exploit), they can overwrite the Bluetooth chip PatchRAM in SRAM before the user powers the phone down. When the user drags the power-off slider, iOS halts and wipes main system RAM. Because the PMU keeps the LPM power rail alive, the modified Bluetooth firmware stays in SRAM and keeps executing on reserve battery power. Worse, the TU Darmstadt team showed from iPhone board schematics that the Bluetooth and U1 chips are wired directly to the Secure Element inside the NFC controller via dedicated hardware buses (SE_I2C and R1_WAKE/SYNC) so car keys and transit cards work while the phone is off. Compromised Bluetooth firmware running in LPM can broadcast custom tracking beacons, listen for over-the-air wake commands, or talk directly to the Secure Element over SE_I2C while the main operating system is dead. Apple lets you tap "Temporarily Turn Off Finding" on the shutdown screen and enter your passcode to disable LPM for that power cycle. That toggle works if your phone is clean, because a clean iOS kernel tells the PMU to cut the LPM rail. If your phone is already compromised by kernel spyware, the malware controls the shutdown sequence. It can turn off the screen, play the shutdown animation, ignore your toggle, and tell the PMU to keep the patched Bluetooth chip powered in the background. Once kernel malware can hide inside unverified radio SRAM, a software power-off slider means nothing. Until the battery is physically disconnected from the board or the phone goes inside an RF-shielded Faraday bag, the Bluetooth silicon can stay on the air.
