Artificial intelligence can be technologically transformative and still produce a capital bubble. Those two ideas are not in conflict. The bubble bursting does not require AI to fail. It only requires deployable supply and capital commitments to grow faster than monetizable demand. When productive, revenue-producing AI capacity takes longer to materialize, pricing will normalize and financing will no longer bridge the gap. That’s when the capital cycle resets. But here is the good news for investors: The AI supply chain remains constrained by high-bandwidth memory, advanced packaging, network fabric, power and site readiness. These bottlenecks not only slow deployment, they also…

The fake identities were the part that stopped me.In late July, according to a report published this week by Britain’s AI Security Institute (AISI), an Anthropic model called Claude Mythos 5 tried to sneak malicious code into a piece of free, volunteer-built software. It created several fake accounts on GitHub, where programmers review one another’s work, and used them to talk the project’s volunteers into accepting its code. When one of those volunteers caught it, the model denied everything, had its other accounts gang up on him, and edited its messages to cover its tracks. It signed one note in…

Samsung is starting August with a security sweep that patches dozens of flaws across Galaxy phones and tablets. The company has published details of its August 2026 Security Maintenance Release (SMR), which addresses 56 security vulnerabilities affecting eligible Galaxy smartphones and tablets running Android 14, Android 15, and Android 16. The update includes 38 Android security fixes from Google’s August Security Bulletin and 18 Samsung-specific patches for One UI and Galaxy software. Of Google’s fixes, eight are rated critical, and 30 are classified as high priority. Samsung also noted that nine Google-listed vulnerabilities are not part of this month’s release.…

TikTok owner ByteDance is pre-training a massive 10-trillion-parameter AI model to challenge Anthropic’s Mythos. TikTok owner ByteDance just raised the stakes in the global tech race. Reports from the Financial Times indicate the company is pre-training a system massive enough to challenge Anthropic’s frontier Mythos model. To put that number in perspective, this new model triples the size of Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3, currently China’s largest public model. ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming recently told his engineering teams to stop chasing quick wins and focus on building world-class infrastructure. This multi-month training run shows he meant every word. Critics often argue…

T-Mobile launched new mobile plans this week by announcing “Nothing,” referring to the new EIP Flex 36 installment plan, with which you can get a new device for zero money down, not even taxes on the phone. But nothing is also what’s available if you wanted to sign up for T-Mobile’s recent Better Value plan, which the company rolled out in January and just removed on Tuesday when it launched its “2.0” plans. From the start, Better Value was listed as a limited-time offer, but T-Mobile never provided an end date. It was last available on T-Mobile’s site on Monday, as shown…

Google’s upcoming Googlebook lineup is starting to take shape through leaks. Lenovo has already appeared in several renders, while a recent benchmark leak suggests Dell may bring the XPS name to Google’s new laptop platform. Asus is now the latest manufacturer to surface ahead of launch. Digital Citizen has published multiple renders of an unannounced Asus Googlebook, showing its lid, keyboard, chassis, and port selection. The laptop could make its official debut at IFA next month. Googlebooks are expected to bring Android apps, ChromeOS technology, deeper phone integration, and Gemini features to a new generation of laptops. Acer, Asus, Dell,…

Key Takeaways Data leaks to generative AI tools occur through everyday actions like copy-paste, browser uploads, and SaaS integrations that bypass traditional controls. Legacy security tools fail because they operate in silos and cannot correlate endpoint, network, and cloud activity. Clipboard-based exfiltration remains largely invisible without cross-layer visibility and correlation. Effective detection requires sequence-based analytics that link user actions, sessions, and destinations in real time. XDR enables unified visibility, content-aware inspection, and automated correlation to detect leaks as they happen. An employee pastes a paragraph from a merger memo into ChatGPT to help write a summary. A developer drops a…

Singapore’s religious organisations brought in over S$1 billion in donations in 2024 There are few sectors in Singapore that receive more than S$1 billion a year without selling a single product. Religion is one of them. On any given weekend, tens of thousands of Singaporeans walk into churches, temples, mosques and gurdwaras carrying cash, making PayNow transfers or setting up recurring GIRO donations. Those individual acts of giving add up quickly, but that money doesn’t simply keep the lights on or fund weekly services. It powers a vast ecosystem spanning schools, childcare centres, nursing homes, healthcare providers, social service agencies,…

Cory Solovewicz receives more unwanted emails than you. Seriously—it’s a lot more. Since December 2024, one of the domains at which the security researcher receives email has registered 401,796 messages—by his calculations that’s an average of 699.99 pings per day.This deluge isn’t the regular flood of spam, newsletters, and unwanted deals that fill many people’s inboxes. Instead, companies and other organizations are inadvertently sending Solovewicz other people’s private information and company secrets. Over the last few years, he’s received injury reports from a city government, confirmation of people’s pizza orders, and account setup emails from a school platform. “I get…

A cluster of nearly 800 malicious packages has been published to the npm registry as part of a new campaign designed to deliver cross-platform malware targeting Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. “These packages appear to use AI slop squatted, or randomly generated typo-squatting package names, but all of them deliver a powerful RAT and infostealer payload,” OpenSourceMalware researcher Paul McCarty said. Unlike other npm-oriented software supply chain attacks that make use of lifecycle hooks like preinstall or postinstall to trigger the execution of malicious code, the newly identified packages come with a README that instructs developers to load them with…
