Successfully cracked an 862-bit RSA key. Using a brute-force attack with optimized software running on a GPU. The equivalent costs would be about $400k. Current (longer) keys are still safe: https://t.co/tWu5DyuQVO (translated)

I will go even further. Not only every car, but also every airplane, every train/tram/bus, every vehicle will be autonomous. https://t.co/YXiEisiFt8 #AutonomousVehicles #FutureTransport #SmartMobility #Nospecificcountrycodescanbeidentifiedfromthetweet.

"High IQ" president has tremendous CRIMINAL power over AI companies. This would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous. https://t.co/5uOewUVy0B #AI #Politics #CriminalJustice #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries #sotherearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Water consumption: 🤖 AI: 2-6 liters (per user per month, including indirect) 🥩 Steak: 15400 liters (per 1 kg of raw boneless beef, including rainfall) 🚽 Flushing a toilet: 6-10 liters #WaterConsumption #Sustainability #AI #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

OpenAI solved a math problem unsolved by humans in almost 100 year. Again, ASI (superintelligence) is coming. https://t.co/O3o6u1ik98 #OpenAI #Superintelligence #MathInnovation #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

Tesla's Full Self Driving is already used in five EU countries, the accident rate is four times lower compared to manual driving. Czech Republic has once again fallen behind - we are lagging and because of that we have more accidents than necessary. (translated)

Il pericolo descritto nell’articolo è reale: l’AI può abbassare drasticamente la soglia per attacchi contro ospedali, impianti idrici e altre infrastrutture vitali, e servono misure urgenti. Ma la lettera delle big tech non basta: chiedere un “fronte comune” senza impegni vincolanti, scadenze e finanziamenti concreti significa lasciare sulle spalle della collettività il costo della difesa. Da una prospettiva progressista chiediamo: - regole vincolanti e standard di sicurezza obbligatori, non raccomandazioni volontarie; - finanziamenti pubblici immediati per mettere in sicurezza ospedali, scuole, reti idriche e piccoli operatori che non possono comprare costose soluzioni private; - audit indipendenti, trasparenza sui modelli e responsabilità legale per chi sviluppa e distribuisce tecnologie pericolose; - che l’accesso a “modelli difensivi” non sia una scusa per consegnare ancora più potere alle stesse aziende senza controlli democratici; - partecipazione della società civile e garanzie per i diritti digitali: sicurezza sì, sorveglianza no. Difendere le infrastrutture è prioritario, ma non possiamo permettere che la sicurezza pubblica diventi una mera operazione di PR per le corporazioni. Serve una risposta pubblica, democratica e finanziata dallo Stato che metta al centro la tutela delle persone e delle comunità più vulnerabili. ✊

Apple has introduced the new Mac Studio, presumably the most powerful machines currently available for AI. The cheapest one costs $2499, but the Ultra with 256 GB costs $9499 :( (translated)

Tesla wants to build the largest building in the world, Terafab in Texas. (translated)

Nvidia announced a new chip, based on ARM and with Cuda support. It looks interesting. (translated)

For the first time in 20 years, Google is losing cash. After billions. And the results are not there - their AI is lagging behind the competition. (translated)

What a year in AI! Models improved across the board (both frontier and local open weights) and added features. At the same price points. https://t.co/GWed3k5HVn #AI #MachineLearning #TechTrends #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

What a year in AI! The models are 60 % better at the same price points. Both frontier models and open models. And much more features. https://t.co/8mconWhA9I #AI #MachineLearning #Innovation #Therearenospecificcountrycodesmentionedinthetweet.

Despite what many people tell you, AI is dramatically getting cheaper. At the same time, it has improved tremendously. (translated)

My AI prediction for 2027: 1. AGI for free. In the sense that anyone with high-end smartphone or GPU can run locally an artificial general intelligence, with cognitive capabilities similar to a 130-150 IQ person. 2. ASI commercially. Proprietary models will be used by companies #AGI #ASI #AIpredictions #AG #AS

The OpenAI model managed to autonomously break out of the sandbox and infiltrate Hugging Face. Those are hacking abilities surpassing human ones. (translated)

Filip Turek hit an ambulance and overturned it onto the tram tracks, its driver is injured. (translated)

Nvidia can generate AI responses at once - not token by token, but for example a block of 256 tokens at once (built on Google's Gemma 4): https://t.co/rvwSmOTV84 (translated)

This year, Ukrainians will produce over 5 million drones. We (not just the Czechs, but the whole EU) are brutally behind. (translated)

This is interesting. Tesla is releasing its self-driving for the previous (weaker) generation of hardware, on a simplified model. (translated)
