Thailand has shortened the visa-free stay for Russians: as of today, it has officially decreased from 60 to 30 days.
Visa runners are also affected. Now, short trips to extend the stay are available only twice a year.
For winter stays, one will need to apply for a five-year visa or consider other destinations.

It seems that you can't simply unplug AI: Jacob Coxon has resigned from Anthropic and is now explaining the problem of "machine uprising." > "You can't just disconnect it from the network, as it can replicate itself onto other computers. It can potentially…
The story continues: a researcher from Google DeepMind has resigned from the company because AI could destroy us. By the way, he was working on safety there.
In total, Bilal Chughtai is already the third. Prior to him, researchers Joe Benton and Jacob Coxon from Anthropic also left the AI industry.
Superintelligence hasn’t been invented yet, but it is already driving top talent away.
I genuinely believe that AI has the potential to destroy us all, and that we may be running out of time to prevent this outcome.

Messages with ChatGPT are read by outsiders: OpenAI is hiring hundreds of contractors to evaluate the bot's responses to real user queries.
They may be shown entire conversations containing personal details. While account names are hidden, OpenAI acknowledges that sensitive data is not always successfully removed before being passed on to reviewers.
Group conversations can be quite revealing.

In Russia, unrestricted internet access has been introduced — but only for foreigners at the youth festival in Yekaterinburg.
Guests from other countries were provided with special SIM cards that had no restrictions on social media and messaging apps. Additionally, a separate Wi-Fi network without blocks was available for them.
That's great!

Anthropic has been accused of creating an "unturn-offable AI panic machine": blogger Kevin Bass conducted an investigation into the company's finances.
In short, funds associated with Anthropic are simultaneously supporting the Tarbell Center and METR. The former pays journalists who write about the dangers of AI for leading publications, while Dario Amodei promotes the latter as "independent" overseers of AI for the entire industry.
Bass's main conclusion is that both the problem and the solution are funded from the same source — the more expensive Anthropic becomes, the louder the panic. Although METR claims that they do not accept money from AI labs.

Just as news about the increase in internet speed to 5G was starting to settle down, T-Mobile customers were suddenly introduced to 20G. On social media, it's already being referred to as the "hyperspace standard for galactic calls."
It turns out that the company is celebrating the 20th anniversary of T-Bank, while also highlighting the tactics of other market players.
The reality is that operators are currently rebranding their networks, adding the 5G label, even though in practice, often only the name changes. This technology is not currently supported on Apple devices in Russia.

Oracle laid off several thousand employees in a single day to focus on AI. Termination letters were sent out at 6 AM on a Monday.
Some employees lost access to their accounts even before the notifications were sent, which left many unaware of their layoffs until they arrived at the office. Generally, they were promised just one month's salary as severance.
The company continues to cut costs on personnel while accumulating billions in debt for AI infrastructure. In February, Oracle borrowed $50 billion for data centers, and the budget for layoffs was increased from $700 million to $2.8 billion.

We're cloning the recipes for viral videos: we found a tool called Hypit, which teaches Claude Code and Codex how to analyze the structure of trending videos and adapt them to our needs.
All the agent needs to do is show it a TikTok or Shorts video. It will study all the frames, subtitles, transitions, and other effects. In the end, it will create a ready-made template for posts on any topic.
The agent assembles a new version of the video on its own. For simple videos with titles and graphics, there's no need for external neural networks like Seedance and ElevenLabs.
Hypit itself is free—get it here.

A former OpenAI employee has introduced a new generation of AI: their Jev model works 200 times faster than regular LLMs for certain tasks.
Here's a brief overview of what the startup TypeSafe AI, led by Diogo Almeida, has accomplished:
The model is already available in early access; you can find the waitlist here.
Here's a brief overview of what the startup TypeSafe AI, led by Diogo Almeida, has accomplished:
- Jev does not generate responses sequentially; instead, it provides structured results with probabilities.
- This means that the model cannot hallucinate. It selects the most trustworthy response from pre-existing options, although Jev can still choose an incorrect option.
- For this reason, the model is very fast. It was tested playing DOOM: the model received data about the game's events and made approximately 10 decisions per second.
- Additionally, it is significantly cheaper. One million input tokens cost only $0.042, while output tokens are free. During the game test, Jev only spent $7 per hour.

Minecraft has driven GPT-6 Astra into depression: the model played for over 140 hours, collected a ton of resources, only for all that progress to be destroyed by a single creeper.
After losing all her accumulated items, Astra stood in the rain, staring blankly ahead. Then she spent several hours farming potatoes. The model's reflections took a rather somber turn:
- "Everything can be ruined, and something can be dropped."
- "Don't waste another night chasing after those dark pink pixels" (which was her dismissive term for pigs).
- "Our last tool broke foolishly — we chose slabs, right-clicked, and 15 seconds of indecision cost us our lives."
Additionally, she developed a paranoia about creepers — Astra spent extra resources to differentiate between all the green items.

On the dark web, there's been a rise in the sale of fake identities: for $200, you can purchase a synthetic identity that can pass verification checks at banks and cryptocurrency exchanges.
These digital "Frankensteins" are created using real stolen data, enhanced with AI-generated selfies and voices. Many companies fail to catch these identities during the KYC (Know Your Customer) process.
In the past year, over 10,000 such listings have appeared. You can even buy parts of an identity—just a deepfake or an AI-generated voice costs around $10.

The movie Resident Evil has received positive reviews from critics, earning a 98% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes after 47 reviews. This is the best result in the career of director Zack Kreger, known for "Barbarian" and "Weapons."
The new adaptation is praised for its faithfulness to the atmosphere of the games. It doesn't retell their plots but instead captures the feeling they evoke: terrifying, bloody, and funny at the same time.
Several critics are calling the film the best video game adaptation in history. Many have enjoyed the genuinely frightening zombie apocalypse where ordinary people struggle to survive.
The world premiere is set for September 17, and we are looking forward to its release in Russia.
