Hey imagine you have a public persona right now with your name and voice out there and agents can just clip it to impersonate you on the phone with financial institutions

Crypto is a series of adversarial games
The adversaries got better over the years as the profit pool shrank. The dumbest person you know has their sixth DAO vote for another 8 figure home renovation. The smartest person you know is launching a rape casino for less than that.

We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work.
At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated.
We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats.

DIGITIMES' latest report on Intel:
Intel will raise prices on PC CPUs by another 10% in October.
At the same time, the Small Core product line, which carries lower gross margins, may be headed toward EOL (End of Life).
This would open an opportunity for Qualcomm and MediaTek from the ARM camp to enter the industrial PC (IPC) and Internet of Things (IoT) chip markets.
There is also talk that Intel will cut a further 5% to 10% of its workforce.
In July, Intel carried out another round of layoffs targeting its Data Center and AI (DCAI) group, and its global headcount is currently estimated at roughly 75,000.
However, sources cited by DIGITIMES noted that Intel will be hiring new staff alongside the cuts, and that the current organization, already trimmed to just over 70,000 employees, is already fairly reasonable in size.
According to the industry, global PC shipments will reach roughly 260 million units in 2026, but may decline slightly to about 250 million units in 2027.
The main cause is not a sharp contraction in PC demand, but rather that recent steep increases in the prices of components such as memory and PCBs have begun to pile cost pressure onto finished systems.
Industry sources said that in response to the broad surge in costs, Intel has been raising PC CPU prices in stages over the past year, and tentatively plans another 10% increase in early October. The fact that Intel has chosen to raise CPU prices even as the finished PC market is expected to shrink slightly in 2027 shows that its top priority is improving gross margin rather than expanding market share.
With the global PC market holding at roughly 250 million units, DIGITIMES assessed that if Intel can bring its CPU shipments back up to nearly 200 million units, its market share could recover to about 78%. At the same time, lifting ASP through price adjustments should help restore profitability in its PC CPU business.
DIGITIMES also reported that Intel currently faces a tougher problem in server CPUs than in PC CPUs. According to the supply chain, Intel is currently prioritizing its own fab capacity for server CPUs. The gross margin on server CPUs it manufactures in house is higher than on products outsourced to TSMC, but server CPU capacity still cannot keep up with demand, and this is crowding out PC CPU capacity as well.
DIGITIMES assessed that if Intel wants to further accelerate the expansion of server CPU production, it may have to hand part of the volume to TSMC, and that this is the manufacturing dilemma Intel currently faces. This is why the yield of the 18A process and the development progress of the 14A process are drawing attention.
