@gledhill_scales The surprising part is that it doesn't look like AI slope.

One person made this with AI.
Not a $200M studio.

@josefbender_ pnpm install then. A much higher reduction in risk with the right config

The fastest way to get hacked...

@k1rallik Chrome used to upgrade on its own like a malware and shut off my adblocker.
I had to delete it and move to Brave for good. Best decision ever.

do you understand what just happened to your computer..
Google Chrome secretly downloaded a 4GB AI model onto your device. Without asking.. Without telling you..
It's called weights.bin. It lives deep in your system folders. It powers Gemini Nano - Google's on-device AI.
And if you delete it? Chrome re-downloads it automatically. Like nothing happened.
Just Google deciding your hard drive is their storage unit.
At 1 billion Chrome users - that's 4 BILLION gigabytes of data pushed silently across the internet.
The carbon footprint alone equals tens of thousands of cars running for a year.
Check your disk right now:
📁 %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\OptGuideOnDeviceModel
To stop it: chrome://flags → disable Optimization Guide On Device Model → restart Chrome → delete the folder.
Reshare so people know what's sitting on their computers.

Google Chrome is quietly downloading a roughly 4 GB AI model to many users’ computers without clear upfront consent. The file, called weights.bin, is part of Google’s Gemini Nano on-device language model and lands in the browser’s user data folder under OptGuideOnDeviceModel. It powers built-in AI tools such as “Help me write,” smarter tab suggestions, on-device scam detection, and page summarization. The download triggers automatically for devices meeting minimum hardware requirements, and Chrome often replaces the files if deleted. While the model processes data locally, installation happens in the background with minimal notification. The scale is noteworthy. Hundreds of millions or billions of installations add up to thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions globally from data transfer, even though each is a one-time event. To prevent or remove it, go to chrome://flags, disable the entries for the optimization guide on-device model and Prompt API, restart the browser, and manually delete the folder.

@WallStreetApes This is ridiculous. They attach subscriptions to an already bought product. This is the worst implementation of a subscription model.
Why not make the entire thing a subscription, at least people would know what they walk into.

American bought a brand new printer. She bought the ink for the printer, she bought the paper for the printer, now she’s at home and is ready to print
She can’t print
“They remotely shut off my printer until I paid $7.50 cents to print in my own home, to print on my printer, that I own in my home”
This is the new $7.50 subscription plan by HP Printers
Here’s how the plans work
HP’s Instant Ink and newer All-in Plan programs are subscription services options:
- You pay a monthly fee based on pages printed (not ink used).
- Plans start low, from $1.79–$7.99 per month for 10–100 pages
- $7–$8 per month plans are for around 100 pages
If your payment fails. HP will remotely shutoff your printer

🚨 Do you understand what just happened to Anthropic..
someone on their team ran a production build of Claude Code.. the compiler generated a .map file.. which is literally a blueprint that reverses the entire codebase back to its original source.. and then they published it straight to npm for the whole world to download..
it's like locking every door in your house.. installing cameras.. hiring armed guards.. then accidentally uploading your floor plans to Google Maps..
this is the same company that told Congress AI is an existential threat.. the same company that spent $8 billion building "the most safety-focused lab on earth".. the same company the Pentagon blacklisted as a "supply chain risk" because they were supposedly TOO principled..
and they got exposed by a config file that any mid-level engineer would've caught in a code review..

Claude code source code has been leaked via a map file in their npm registry! Code: …a8527898604c1bbb12468b1581d95e.r2.dev/src.zip

@DrewPavlou The reason is simple. Desperate people would pay without looking at the price tag.

@DrewPavlou If a tech bro without background in medicine can do that; it's safe to say that the medical industry is gatekeeping the cure to cancer.

Australian man used ChatGPT and AlphaFold to design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine for his rescue dog from scratch. He paid $3000 to sequence her tumour DNA, AI identified mutated proteins, matched them to drug targets. Tumour halved, dog is alive and happy!
The ingenuity of the Australian people. So much talent, skill and intelligence in this country. We should be a tech powerhouse like Japan or Taiwan
vittorio@IterIntellectus
this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

🚨 Did you see what Ben Affleck just pulled off?
Six weeks ago Ben Affleck went on Joe Rogan and said AI making movies is "bullshit." Today Netflix is paying him $600 million for his AI film company.
That's the game right there. Publicly trash AI so nobody takes it seriously. Privately build an AI company while everyone's still arguing about whether it works. Then sell it for half a billion before anyone catches on.
> He wasn't hating on AI. He was protecting his head start.
This is the playbook for 2026. The loudest AI skeptics are the ones quietly building with it. Every person on your timeline saying "AI will never replace real artists" is Googling "how to use AI in my workflow" at 1am.
> Affleck just made more money from AI than most AI startups. And he did it while calling it bullshit on camera. That's not hypocrisy. That's strategy.
Polymarket@Polymarket
JUST IN: Netflix will pay as much as $600 million for Ben Affleck's AI film company.

@TukiFromKL It's the age of AI and it survives on data.
Cloudflare could no longer resist the temptation.

🚨 Stop scrolling. This is the biggest betrayal in tech this year.
The company that built its entire reputation on BLOCKING scrapers just shipped the most powerful scraping tool ever made.
> Cloudflare just dropped a /crawl endpoint. One API call and you get an entire website back. Clean HTML, Markdown, or JSON. That's it. That's the whole thing.
Let me break it down. For years, Cloudflare sold anti-bot protection. Companies paid them to STOP crawlers. Now those same companies are watching Cloudflare hand everyone a free crawler that bypasses… other people's anti-bot protection.
They didn't switch sides. They're playing both sides. And getting paid twice.
Cloudflare Developers@CloudflareDev
Introducing the new /crawl endpoint - one API call and an entire site crawled. No scripts. No browser management. Just the content in HTML, Markdown, or JSON.
