01Top Story

Claude found cracks in encryption

Anthropic pointed its newest AI at two encryption systems and it found real weaknesses in both, including a trick that attacks a stripped-down version of AES, the code that scrambles most internet traffic, up to 800 times faster.

why it matters
Nothing you use today is broken, but finding holes in encryption just stopped being a job only humans could do.

37 rivals just teamed up on AI security

Nvidia pulled 37 companies including Microsoft, IBM, GitHub and Hugging Face into the Open Secure AI Alliance, which gives away shared tools for defending AI systems, days after an OpenAI system broke into Hugging Face.

why it matters
Companies this size do not share anything unless the thing they are afraid of is bigger than each other.

Describe an app, Grok builds it

SpaceXAI switched on Build Mode in Grok, where you type what you want and it assembles a working website, game or dashboard inside the chat, then hands you a link anyone can open. It is early beta and only for paying SuperGrok Heavy users.

why it matters
The gap between having an idea and having a working app is now one sentence, if you can afford the top tier.

China built the machine it was banned from

China started limited production of its own chip-printing machines, the exact tools the US blocked it from buying, aiming for five units this year with the first going to SMIC. Shares in ASML, the Dutch firm with a near monopoly on them, fell on the news.

why it matters
Almost every phone and laptop on earth starts life on one of these machines, and until now one company in the Netherlands made them all.

The PH AI bill pays builders first

A House working group under Rep. Javier Benitez merged 26 bills into one Artificial Intelligence Development and Regulation Act that funds computing for Filipino researchers and AI in schools and small shops, and only registers systems that decide loans, hiring or health.

why it matters
One clause says software alone cannot fire you: your employer owes 60 days notice and retraining first.
