⚡️AI hacker inside a USB cable

Palisade Research built a $200 “hacker cable” that loads an AI agent onto your computer the moment you plug it in.

🔌 The agent scans your system, sends data to GPT-4, gets instructions, and hacks autonomously.
💸 Attack cost: under $1. Development time: one week.

AI agents are faster than humans, smarter than scripts — a new kind of cyber weapon. What’s crude today could soon become invisible, cheap, and everywhere.

Every USB port may turn into an AI-powered entry point.

🖲 Orbiforms are figures with a constant width curve or Reuleaux polygons

These aesthetically pleasing metallic figures appear angular. But if you put any flat flat surface on top and start moving it, it will move parallel to the table surface.

The magic of surface tension 🔮

The glass is full to the brim with water. Carefully add more and more water, but the water doesn't come out. Throw a coin, increasing the volume of liquid, but it does not come out.

It won't come out because water has a property of surface tension: water bends in an arc, but it won't come out.

Elon Musk: if 10x compute ≈ 2x intelligence, AI is on a Kardashev trajectory, harvesting the sun and then the galaxy.

For now, he predicts:
- 2026: AI smarter than any single human
- 2030: AI smarter than sum of all humans

Meanwhile, human intelligence stagnates as birth rates fall.

Am-241 in the Wilson chamber

When americium nuclei decay, they eject a high-speed chunk of protons and neutrons (2 each) called alpha particles.

Which then travels through the air, creating a trail of ions, bouncing electrons off any neighboring molecules it passes by.
