I've factored the RSA keys of a Certificate Authority from the 90s

The author explores the security of RSA cryptography, noting that small keys can be factored on a modest desktop computer and some old root certificates are still vulnerable.

It appears OpenAI is claiming its AI just solved Navier-Stokes, the 3rd most famous unsolved math problem in the world.

It's one of the 7 Millennium Prize Problems, with a $1 million bounty.

(The only two more famous ones are the Riemann Hypothesis and P vs NP)

DRAMA: The mathematician who spent a year on this (with AI) says OpenAI raced to the finish after his work leaked to them, then pressured him to drop his co-author, who works at Anthropic

To be clear, what's actually verified is the mathematician's result on Navier-Stokes next-door neighbor problem. OpenAI's proof of the real thing hasn't been revealed yet, and OpenAI hasn't responded to the accusations

Here's Fable 5.1's summary:

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.

Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing.

The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.

GPT3 writing code. A compiler from natural language to code.
People don't understand — this will change absolutely everything. We're decoupling human horsepower from code production. The intellectual equivalent of the discovery of the engine. https://player.vimeo.com/video/426819809

>WSJ publishes about anthropic researcher quitting BEFORE he announces he's quitting
>account had minimal followers & activity before, his post is instantly picked up and reaches 100m+ views
>multiple democrat politicians repost & quote post along a very coherent line
>news further picked up by most mainstream media & reach non-US markets too

excellent coordinated information environment manipulation on top of latent organic sentiment

Huggingfaces security txt after the openai incident 😭

Instead of forcing decompilers into heavy preprocessing, we choose to query the compiled artifact directly as a database. We built a stateless, zero-overhead engine that extracts and searches code on demand in milliseconds. In this briefing, we will explore the underlying engineering required to bypass traditional bottlenecks.

Guys, I built a super fast Android decompiler called ASC.

It completely replaced Jadx MCP for me and lets me analyze 10+ APKs in parallel.

And this week my Agent use ASC found 2 RCE in Honor and Xiaomi!
This tool now accepted by BlackHat EU Arsenal

a custom, Wine-like compatibility layer plus an x86 interpreter; uns Windows programs’ machine code and implements the Windows functions they call, without booting Windows itself.

There are two ways AI progress could go very badly and that we must avoid.

First, we could lose control of the future to AI. This is unacceptable; we are unapologetically on Team Humanity, and AI must always serve people. To ensure that, we need ways to ensure that alignment and safety techniques stay ahead of progress in model capabilities.

Second, we could end up in a world with too much concentration of power. If an extraordinarily powerful AI is used by one person or company to impress their worldview onto everyone else, the results could be extremely dystopian.

Avoiding these two threats requires walking a narrow middle path; for example, one country could gain too much power. Another example is one lab ending up with too much power.

the steam download for starbound is 1.56GB

like 20% of that is a 300MB PDB file that they shipped with the game

it's begging to be decompiled
