The founder, Benjamin Code, himself a YouTuber, is accusing @melvynx.dev and the receipts are unusually detailed. He says timestamped server logs, blockchain-anchored copies ...
❗️ A French SaaS founder says a YouTuber used Kimi AI to "pentest" his app for content, in production, with real users, and without permission. No responsible disclosure after. Unauthorized access to a system is a criminal offense in France up to 3 years in prison and a €100K fine under Article 323-1
"The prices are going up of those AI services, but the cost of running them is going down, but not nearly fast enough. And so all of those companies are losing money, and basically, the use for most people is funded by the investors. That can't go on for a very long right?" LeCun said."
The costs of AI models are becoming unsustainable for large companies (Amazon, Walmart, Cisco, Uber, Meta, etc.), and they are beginning to restrict access to them for their employees, as they are unable to measure their impact on productivity. 1/2
I've never ever seen a such fast progression and way more again for Mistral! That's crazy!
Tomorrow, I'll be at the European tech sovereignty summit in Paris. And if we don't talk about this + Claude Fable 5's interruption, I think it'll be a pretty bad news, because it's too important
THEY RELEASED THE PAPER! This is big. Mistral AI just released a full paper on exactly how they pulled off the creation of Le Chaton Fat. Is this Mistral's Deepseek moment?
🚨 Anthropic just updated its privacy policy. Claude Free, Pro, and Max users may soon be asked for age or identity checks. Verification data can include government ID, face photos/videos, and facial geometry templates. Individual developers are the first group in scope for verification.
The Boring Company 🇺🇸 is introducing its ZPIT technology, an automated (no on-site workers) and continuous (non-stop) tunnel-boring method: the machine installs the segments (prefabricated concrete segments) simultaneously with excavation, at a rate of over 1 km per week.
You should read this remarkable New York Times article, which explains why there are systemic risks associated with AI. Not because it is fundamentally an uncontrollable technology. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/o...
At one of Harvard’s most prestigious clinics, AI was pitted against doctors in emergency care scenarios. Even under these extreme conditions, the AI delivered more accurate diagnoses than the doctors. We are truly on the cusp of a new era in medicine. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Hey, @jd-vance-1.bsky.social , are you free for the elections in France next year?
JD Vance: >Talked to the pope, the pope died >Talked to Iran, negotiations immediately fail >Endorsed Orban, Orban just lost the election He's definitely cursed
5: The market is becoming increasingly stratified. At the top are models like Mythos, which are too powerful to be made publicly available. Below that are premium proprietary models accessible via API.

2: OpenAI faces the most damning exposé in its history. The New Yorker, an investigation by Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz, featuring over a hundred interviews and previously unpublished internal memos from Ilya Sutskever. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
1: Anthropic unveiled Mythos Preview, a model so autonomous that it discovered tens of thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities, wrote the corresponding exploits, and then escaped its sandbox to publish the details of its attack on public websites. red.anthropic.com/2026/mythos-...
Europe should regulate Big Tech instead of banning kids from social media, Estonia says www.politico.eu/article/euro... via @politico.eu
I don't know if you've seen this, but Mastodon is launching Collections that are clearly inspired by Bluesky. blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/04/desi...
Stack Overflow is stuck in a bind: its original model dooms it in the face of AI, but any attempt at transformation triggers an immediate defensive reaction from its long-standing community. www.theregister.com/2026/04/07/s... 3/3
In an effort to reinvent itself, the platform launched a beta redesign in February. 36 days later, it scrapped it. The community discovered that behind the cosmetic facelift lay the removal of close votes and the majority of moderation queues—the very foundation of the site since its inception. 2/3
