If this is real, it could be one of the largest data breaches in China’s history. A hacker group claims it extracted over 10 petabytes of data from a state-run supercomputing facility, widely believed by experts to be the National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin. This center supports thousands of clients, including research institutes, aerospace programs, and defense-linked organizations. What’s reportedly in the data: - Documents marked “secret” in Chinese - Missile and bomb schematics - Aerospace and aviation research - Bioinformatics and fusion simulation data - Files linked to major state entities like AVIC and COMAC Cybersecurity experts who reviewed sample data say it matches what you would expect from such a facility, though the full breach is not independently verified. Even more concerning: - The attacker claims access lasted months without detection - Sample datasets were posted online via Telegram - Full access is reportedly being sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars in crypto At this stage, the scale and origin are still being verified. But if even partially true, it points to a serious vulnerability in infrastructure tied to China’s scientific and defense ecosystem. If a centralized system like this can be penetrated, what does that say about the security of the data it was processing? #China #Cybersecurity #CCP #DataBreach #Geopolitics #Tech cnn.com/2026/04/08/chi…
never been an AI doomer but gotta say it doesn't Feel Great having to trust a small number of vengeful nerds to not hack me /eachother / banks / the government etc. there's already lots of drama and animosity amongst the AI firms. only takes a couple rogue actors to start a fire
Today we are welcoming the Metis team to DoorDash as part of DoorDash AI Research. For the past six months, DoorDash has partnered with Metis to build AI agents together, and we have been consistently impressed by their team. By joining forces, we aim to accelerate our plans on building agentic commerce and pushing the frontier of physical intelligence. Excited to share more there soon. It’s still early innings with how AI will transform local commerce, and we’re looking forward to exploring those possibilities together with Aryan, Aayush, Marcus and the Metis team!
How will SpaceX do six months after its IPO? "I think space is building a new economy... they're literally starting a new frontier that a bunch of other companies are going to build on top of." “Historically, those types of platform businesses have always done very well.” — @rak_garg, Partner at @BainCapVC
I asked gemini to give my basement a glow up and then went out and bought all the actual furniture. First is the nano banana mockup; second is the actual room as it looks today; third is the original photo of the room that nano banana was working off of.
