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...]
A stronger way to frame it would be data rights and ownership versus portability. The data model has to shift in a broader way.
Right or Wrong ?
Switching costs for consumer AI, won't approach zero until there is a standardized export format for what is in a model's memory.
The more a consumer uses a model, the more it's memory stores. The more work to export and import
I'm not saying it can't be done. Obviously you can import from one model to another. But for regular users, that's a lot more difficult than saving to an xls or doc file
Curious what people think ?

That PHP vulnerability that’s gonna cause havoc this week was found with… GPT‑5.6 Sol.
OpenAI models helped researchers—operating as part of our Patch the Planet initiative—discover critical security flaws in PHP, an open-source programming language used to run an estimated 70% of websites.
Over the past two months, we led a coalition of maintainers, researchers, and security providers to prepare fixes and protections ahead of disclosure. This duration was necessary because the fix was quite intricate and required a major change to the PHP engine. Every site using PHP can now safely upgrade their version to stay secure, in addition to applying mitigations from various security vendors.
Due to the severity of these flaws and PHP’s widespread use, we consider this bug to be one of the most impactful vulnerabilities in recent memory. It also marks a new phase, where AI can find security bugs with internet-scale impact.
This is an example of the Defender’s Window in action: to our knowledge, frontier AI was able to find this vulnerability ahead of attackers, giving defenders time to prepare.

Crazy 72 hours in security. Three major incidents dropped back-to-back: eMudhra, PingCAP (TiDB Cloud), and PHP.
Here is the short version of what happened and who got hit.
1. eMudhra (Trusted CA compromise)
eMudhra generated 8 intermediate CA certificates in April 2025 (cross-signed by Sectigo). A bug in their HSM key-wrapping test script created a second set of P-384 keys where the private keys were single-byte numbers under 256. Operators picked the wrong key labels and signed them into real CA certs.
One of the intermediate CA private keys was literally the number 4.
The other seven: 56, 66, 115, 155, 156, 230, 237.
Three weeks later (May 2025), their CRL signatures started failing because the CRL signer was using the real keys instead of the weak ones. Instead of asking why the keys didn't match, someone switched the CRL signer to the weak keys and closed the ticket.
• Browsers are safe: Chrome, Firefox, Apple, and Microsoft already blocked them, and zero rogue certs hit CT logs.
• Servers are not: curl, Python (certifi), Go binaries, and Docker base images don't check CRLs. Update ca-certificates, certifi, and Go (1.27.3 / 1.26.10).
• 10-second check on any server:
curl dv-g3b-emudhra.we-have-a-pro…
(TLS error = safe. 200 OK = still vulnerable.)
2. PingCAP / TiDB Cloud (10.6 TB breach)
Attackers found GCP and Azure credentials committed inside PingCAP's own repos. They set up a replication feed of TiDB Cloud's production control plane and exported the entire database every 6 hours for 22 straight days. 88 full exports, zero alerts. 200 GB is already out on torrents.
Beyond the 413 private repos and 20.6M customer SQL queries logged from their web SQL Editor, PingCAP engineers were pasting customer secrets into Jira tickets.
Who is affected in the leaked records:
• Live credentials exposed in support tickets:
- Pinterest: AWS keys for their pingcap-logs S3 bucket
- CardX / Silverlake (NPCI-linked env): AWS admin key in a backup log with full access to 258 external S3 buckets
- DeBank: 38 presigned S3 URLs
- An unnamed AI/dev platform: a 314 MB slow-query log attached to a ticket containing 8,027 live customer secrets (an AWS root key, a GitHub admin PAT over 1,701 repos, 7,485 AWS STS tokens, and 192 OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini keys)
• Tenants with infra metadata, VPC CIDRs, app-server IPs, or contract pricing exposed:
- Tech: Atlassian, Databricks, Airbnb, Baidu, LINE, Nylas, Persona, PatSnap
- E-comm & Travel: Booking.com, Shopee, Flipkart, Mercari, ZOZO, AEON, Delhivery, Klook
- Gaming: Capcom, Square Enix, Konami, Bandai Namco, Cygames, Colopl, DMM
- Finance: PayPay, SoftBank, SBI, SB Payment Service, Fujitsu, TOPPAN, Bank of China, China Life
- Crypto: Bitget (said only public trade logs were on it and they already left), Pionex, DigiPlus, NFTscan, Chainbase
• Developer profiles leaked (from a purchased reo.dev table in PingCAP's BigQuery):
- 24,900 personal emails + GitHub/LinkedIn profiles of engineers at Tencent (3,327), Huawei (2,726), ByteDance (2,475), AIG (2,140), Mastercard, Flipkart, and bKash.
If you use TiDB Cloud: rotate your console API keys, DB passwords, and anything you ever pasted into a support ticket.
3. PHP "PHP2Shell" (CVE-2026-109618 & CVE-2026-109619)
Two CVSS 9.2 pre-auth RCEs leaked yesterday ahead of today's 14:00 UTC patch.
Public writeups trace it to a heap Use-After-Free in PHP's native C multipart/form-data session upload-progress handler (ext/session/session.c).
Because C-level multipart parsing runs before line 1 of index.php:
• App auth, Laravel/WordPress middleware, and file_uploads = Off do not stop it.
• Only PHP 8.2–8.5 get official patches today (59% of PHP servers on Shodan are on EOL <= 8.1).
• Until you patch php-fpm: lock php_admin_flag[session.upload_progress.enabled] = off and block unexpected multipart requests at Nginx/Apache/Cloudflare.

Pulsar Fusion has achieved first plasma in its Sunbird fusion rocket exhaust system at its Bletchley facility in the UK.
The milestone marks a key step toward developing its planned fusion propulsion technology.
Sunbird aims to enable much faster travel through deep space than conventional rocket propulsion.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Pulsar reported first plasma (krypton, no fusion) in March 2026 ground exhaust test. Video is CGI, not the actual brief lab footage.

Kids will grow up learning like this. It's insane.
I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to explain how a rocket engine works by building an interactive Raptor 3 you can take apart in your browser.
Cut it open, follow the oxygen and the methane through both turbopumps, then throttle it and watch the shock diamonds move.

I've attempted to map everything in oncology in a public website and open source repo for all.
The site is trying to get all cancers, products, technologies, bottlenecks, people, startup opportunities with 1000+ ideas for upgrading the field.
If you have a loved one with cancer and you are technical or can engineer, go take a look, file improvement requests or bugs or help with the open repo and make this the best open and free info resource for individuals, researchers and educational use.
This should save people time, aid AI oncology projects and generate positive action. If you are not technical just complain in this thread about broken or annoying or things you want and I'll fix them live.

Try making a PR if you have an upgrade to this on the repo here: github.com/judegomila/OnCo
If you are biologically/medically minded and something is wrong, file a bug as well or say on the thread and we will get it fixed live.
If this is a useful project star the repo and help get it calibrated.
I've tried to add some other languages but I cannot speak them so tell me if that doesnt work well.
I believe we will crack oncology and having total information dominance is key to the problem.
Let the feedback flow!

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI?
I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev
• 20-200x faster
• 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free)
• Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions
AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Well, it looks like the Chinese are making mithril
that's 3d printed titanium btw
and it's draping like fabric
3D printed lattice so fine it moves like cloth but carries aerospace loads
this structure makes it flexible without sacrificing that strength.
when you control geometry at this scale, material properties stop being fixed
you design the behavior, not just the shape this isn't just aerospace
it's what manufacturing looks like when the printer becomes precise enough to challenge what a material is supposed to do

A Luneburg lens bends an Electromagnetic wave without a curved boundary. Instead its dielectric constant changes continuously from the centre to the edge. This forces different parts of the wavelength to travel at different speeds.
Here, we solve the full 2D TM EM wave equation on an unstructured triangular mesh using the Finite Element Method (FEM).

🔻BREAKING: SWITZERLAND BANS MAMMOGRAPHY – THE MEDICAL FRAUD UNVEILED
Switzerland has just become the first country to ban mammography, exploding the truth behind one of the biggest frauds in medical history. For decades women have been terrorized, misdiagnosed and mutilated by a system not designed to heal, but to profit. Now the mask is removed.
Mammography was never about saving lives. It was about making patients. The facts are damning:
Up to 60% false positives - Half of all diagnoses are incorrect. Women are put through chemo, mastectomies and radiation for diseases they never had.
The test itself is dangerous – Breasts subjected to brutal crushing, tissue bombarded with radiation. A "cancer test" that causes cancer.
Risk of tumor spread - Studies indicate that mammography may actually stimulate the growth of tumors. Picture believing in a test that promotes the very disease it says it’s trying to prevent.
690,000+ over-diagnoses – Healthy women were marked sick, turned into cash cows for Big Medicine.
That’s not healthcare. It's organized crime against women." A profit machine built on fear, propaganda, and mandatory annual screenings that trap millions in a cycle of overdiagnosis and overtreatment.
Switzerland is at war with the medical mafia. Their ban is not just a matter of policy, it is a revolutionary act that exposes the dirty secret of profits over people. The rest of the world can’t pretend anymore.
The simple truth is: better, safer options exist. Crush and radiation? No. Manual exams and advanced imaging prove it. The medical industry knows this but they keep them quiet to preserve their billion dollar empire.
Global Call to Action:
– Cease mammography in all countries.
– Track down and prosecute the profiteers.
– Fund humane and safe diagnostics.
– Teach women with truth, not fear propaganda.
Switzerland has set the fuse. The medical establishment will fight to defend its empire, but the cracks are beginning to show. The lies will not hold up.
This is not simply about identifying breast cancer, it’s about exposing the whole system that feeds off human suffering. Switzerland has taken the first step in a worldwide revolution for real healthcare. The question is: Will the world rise up or allow the medical mafia to continue destroying lives for profit?
The time for silence has passed. The truth is revealed.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Switzerland has not banned mammography. Screening programs are organized by cantons and are recommended by the Federal Office of Public Health for women starting at age 50. In 2026, cantons like Aargau and Luzern have actively expanded these programs. web.archive.org/web/2024110507… aargau.krebsliga.ch/beratung-unter…
