Re: LLMs as a Cognitive Virus
I love this line of thinking but the framing comes across to me as a bit inflammatory and uncharitable. Just about anything involved in the exchanged of ideas can be viewed as a virus! That is because, when viewed from an evolutionary biology perspective, ideas are the cognitive equivalent of genes (in fact, this is where the term meme comes from).
There's a whole field, evolutionary memetics, dedicated to this. Cultural values, marketing, religion, social media, education, propaganda, etc. can all be viewed quite naturally through this lense. Even the terms we use in every day language (eg, going "viral") seem to intuitively grasp this.
Is my friend a virus for recommending me their favorite book? Well, yes I guess, but that's kind of just how ideas work. Just my two cents

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

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
