In their new update, all of them now expect a Superhuman AI Researcher sometime in 2027, and give a 35-65% chance of AI automating all white-collar work before 2028. The biggest driver was METR's estimate that Anthropic is progressing about 2x faster than its historical pace.

Binance lost about $6.3B yesterday in the largest crypto hack ever. This time the freeze tools worked. Tether blacklisted the attacker 37 minutes after the drain and Circle froze $823M USDC at 41. Ripple, USD1, Paxos and Arbitrum's Security Council followed. About $2.7B frozen.

In 16 of 60 hacks this year tracked by @blockaid_, the stablecoin issuer could have frozen the funds. None did. @circle waits for a lawful order, but funds move in 17 min. @tether freezes on its own and gets sued. Should issuers freeze, or stay neutral until a court says so?

Built a @meetgranola alternative for AI meeting notes and I'm open sourcing it. hicorder works with any model or provider, syncs with your calendar, has editable prompts, and plugs into @attio and Affinity. Come help improve it.

New research suggests prompt injection is a much bigger risk than we assumed for AI agents running in the terminal. Vanderbilt hid attacks in files and command output across 19 models. 19.6% worked on average, and models almost never flagged them. Preprint, but the data is open.

12/ I hope to continue receiving grants from foundations and donations from individuals, as it enables me to take on higher risk for unique cases that others may not consider viable.
For this case, I fronted $349.7K and lost 5% on each order, with no guarantee Jimmy wouldn't disappear with the funds, and an unknown amount of personal risk from dealing with the syndicate.
Since 2022, I have helped action $75M+ in freezes related to DPRK incidents.
My findings were immediately shared with trusted investigators within the private sector and law enforcement assigned to the case.
Due to sensitivity around the investigation, I was unable to publish sooner.
That is one of the frustrations I have with my work. I am not always able to share findings as quickly as I'd like, and I am currently sitting on significant findings from other cases.
If this case resonates with you and you're in a position to support it, feel free to reach out.
