BREAKING: SpaceX is acquiring Cursor in a $60 billion all-stock deal. • Cursor is being valued at $60 billion • Cursor will become a wholly owned SpaceX subsidiary • Cursor shareholders will receive SpaceX Class A shares • The exchange ratio will be based on SpaceX’s 7-day average share price before closing • Subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions • Expected to close in Q3 2026 Cursor is one of the world’s leading AI coding platforms and one of the fastest-growing software companies. This marks one of the largest AI acquisitions ever and significantly expands SpaceX’s footprint in AI.

☢️You remember? Google optimized Shor's algorithm. The algorithm that breaks asymmetric cryptography (RSA, elliptic curves) once you have a quantum computer with enough Qubits. The US government blocked the paper. So Google published a Zero Knowledge proof instead: a mathematical proof that they have the result, without revealing how. Cryptographic sorcery 🧙 But the Internet is sneaky. Someone launched a contest to re-discover the result with AI. The LLM searches a huge space of circuits (each one a candidate optimization of Shor's), and tests whether it beats the previous best. The clever part: they use the ZKP verifier as the reward function. No false positives, and it turns out to be a very efficient signal. In less than 2 days, the community re-discovered Google's result !!! 🔔15 days later, the LLMs are still improving it. They're already 44% ahead of Google. Hard to say where this stops, ie. what the true minimum quantum complexity for Shor's is. But we will not close the full gap. You still need a Quantum Computer with a relatively large number of qubits. The only thing that changed is that this number drops a little every day, and it has been dropping for 15 days straight.

I have had 1,000 conversations with government officials that go like this: 1. “How do we have a Silicon Valley of our own?” 2. [I list the half dozen key things] 3. “But what if we can’t do any of those?” The world would be better with 10, 100, 1,000 more Silicon Valleys.

🚨 Anthropic just updated its privacy policy. Claude Free, Pro, and Max users may soon be asked for age or identity checks. Verification data can include government ID, face photos/videos, and facial geometry templates. Individual developers are the first group in scope for verification.

Europeans react to America: “Unless you live in America, you can’t really comprehend how nice these areas are.” The only way to keep it like that is to have strong borders, unlike Europe which has been overrun by the third world.

GYARU DEJA TOKIO PARA CRIAR GALLINAS Tras 15 años en el ritmo acelerado de la capital, UsaTani Paisen, presidenta de la Asociación de Gyaru Japonesas, decidió abandonar Tokio definitivamente tras sufrir crisis de estrés y agotamiento severo. En lugar de romantizar la vida urbana, confesó que la ciudad simplemente le drenaba la vida y se mudó a las montañas para llevar un estilo tranquilo y autosuficiente. Su esposo apoyó la decisión con una frase que se volvió viral: "Donde tú vivas, esa será mi capital". El verdadero final feliz.

前後左右、グラドル💘 #すぷさま

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

Breaking: Amazon CEO Andy Jassy was among the tech leaders who raised concerns to senior Trump officials this week re: security risks in Anthropic's newest models. Those convos set in motion the government's new export controls on foreign national access to Mythos and Fable.

Anthropic TLDR

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…
