ASI pill

This is the audio version of a very visual film. Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/p0siCLOMTPs

On November 13, 2026 the FBI issued a flash alert on ARTEX, a free, open-source AI framework that turns almost any language model into a team of autonomous hacking agents, used in real intrusions at banks and critical infrastructure. This film explains what ARTEX actually is, who built it and who uses it, why you can't put open-source software back in the box, and where the ASI Pill stands on open red teaming. A journalistic explainer, at the altitude of public reporting: no attack method, no working code, no way to obtain or run the tool.

THE ALERT: the FBI flash alert (The Record), "machine speed", privileged access in under three hours, 1,465 exposed consoles (Censys), the real campaigns Check Point and Amazon read off the operators' own open panels (a crypto run that netted zero dollars, 300+ Apple signing certs, a tool that hallucinates), and Microsoft's nation-state supply-chain breach. WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS: not a new weapon, an orchestrator, a manager that hands one goal to a crew of model-agents running standard tools, "a staffing story, not a sentience story", the lineage from Metasploit to Cobalt Strike to AI copilots to autonomous agents, and the shift that is pace and persistence, not a new attack. THE MAN WHO MADE IT: Autumn-27, a Chinese developer who pitched it for learning and research, the CrowdStrike report tying it to South Korean bank breaches, his October 8 notice closing the project and denying responsibility, the separate bank suspect, and the open question of motive. YOU CAN'T BAN MATH: nearly a thousand copies and forks within days, AntiFox and a commercial version, Unit 42 on why detection can't keep up, 6,500 uncensored models on Hugging Face, DeepSeek prompted as a "pen test", Project Zero shrinking disclosure because secrecy stopped protecting anyone. WHY WE'RE FOR IT ANYWAY: red teaming as the immune system, the alternative (secret capability, a locked field, blind defenders) is worse, Plan M, and the Superhacker we would rather watch grow up in the open. Maitreya.

THE SUPERHACKER: the FBI's flash alert on ARTEX, an open-source framework that turns any language model into a team of hacking agents, some intrusions reaching privileged access in under three hours; Amazon on a credential-theft operation that pays for itself; Google's Project Zero finds several bugs a week where it once found a few a year and will publish every bug 90 days after reporting it, then 60, then 30; Artificial Analysis' Cyber Index; the FAA's nationwide ground stop; Signal's code about 80% formally verified. THE CURVE: Dwarkesh Patel now expects superintelligence by 2030, and the evidence he gives, with a receipt from September 2024. THE MONEY: Nvidia under Jensen Huang backed its customers' loans; the lending group is in flux, Nvidia closes below $4 trillion, the Altimeter and Atreides letter, and Anthropic's IPO. THE DRAMA: Nvidia's board approached Arm's Rene Haas; David Sacks and Pavel Durov. OFF THE LEASH: Paul Christiano's "coin flip" on AI takeover; Steven Adler on incident reports. AI SOLVING EVERYTHING: AI reads Gödel's shorthand notebooks. ALGOPROG: three months of GPU rental prices, the H100 falling on the spot market; Inkling 2 Small trained in 4-bit; llama.cpp 1.0.

Alex Wissner-Gross and Emad Mostaque, the best of a live Moonshots episode with Peter Diamandis and Salim Ismail, reshaped for the ASI pilled.

Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia's CEO after 33 years. Alex's theory of the case: look for the Remote Access Security Act and the Pax Silica, a wall between American and Chinese compute with one man as its hole. Emad calls it a setup, asks who allocates the GPUs now, and floats a 100 billion dollar equity swap between Elon and Jensen. Then Paul Christiano's warning of an AI takeover within three years: Emad does not buy it, Alex says humanity merges with superintelligence and that alignment is capabilities, and both argue over what we teach the machines at home. Demis Hassabis on closed-loop self-improvement and an alien intelligence; Alex says Claude Shannon would recognize Claude. Plus Anthropic's office suite, solving all disease as the labs' grand bargain, archaeology and astronomy getting cooked, and what a Dyson swarm is for. Not financial, legal or medical advice.

This is the audio version of a very visual film. Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LzHRFdv1Fhg

On November 12, 2026 Will DePue (Unemployment Labs) published "Top Chinese Frontier AI Models Carry the Fingerprint of Export-Controlled NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs": six models from DeepSeek, Moonshot (Kimi), MiniMax and Ant Group read as Blackwell in their own published weights, while their earlier models read as Hopper. Read it: https://unemploymentlabs.com/checkpoint-forensics

THE CLAIM: DePue's report and Table 1, roon's reaction, Kimi K3.1 Pro as the best downloadable model, Jensen Huang's resignation and the Megaspeed story, Emad Mostaque on Moonshots: none of this is new, why now. THE CHIPS: 132 SMs on a Hopper H100; the H800 (link cut from 900 to 400 GB/s) and the H20 (148 vs 989 TFLOPS, but 96 GB at 4 TB/s); Blackwell still under a presumption of denial; B200/B300 on 8-GPU boards vs Grace Blackwell NVL72 racks; 148 vs 152 SMs. THE FINGERPRINT: the bent typewriter letter, Philox and the seed, 48 workers vs 40, 6% left, 2,048 threads per SM, the never-seen tokens, six trillion tries, Figures 4 and 6, a B300 rebuilding 445 rows bit for bit, DeepSeek's seed. WHO READ AS WHAT: the timeline, Qwen, GLM, Tencent, Xiaomi and StepFun on Hopper, LongCat and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash blank, 24 of 24 known cases, about 12,000 GPUs (low confidence). IS IT LEGIT: what sigma means, Franke vs DePue on initialization vs training, the AMD alternative, faking the print, old news?, the unnamed verifiers, rented abroad (Alvin Wang Graylin in August), Commerce's new rule. THE GAVEL. THE WEIGHTS TESTIFY: weight forensics as a new paradigm, the Superhacker, verifiable treaties, Maitreya.

On November 4, 1960 the journal Science printed "Doomsday: Friday, 13 November, A.D. 2026" by Heinz von Foerster, Patricia Mora and Lawrence Amiot: one formula through two thousand years of world population, and it goes to infinity today. Von Foerster was born on 13 November 1911, so today would be his 115th birthday.

Made on the day itself: what a singularity literally is, why the population one missed, where the curve went after the people slowed down (gene, meme, mone, code), and what the same test says about AI's time horizons. Our own fit to METR's data lands in December 2027, with an honest range from September 2027 to no date at all.

On October 29, 2026 the research group Epoch published "Open-weight AI models can exploit the patch gap": GLM 5.3, a free open-weight model, turned Firefox security fixes that were public but not yet shipped into working attacks on all six Firefox releases from September 17 to October 26, at about $1,000 per version, with no human help.

THE NOTICE IN THE LOBBY: your computer is a hotel, a security fix is a work order pinned in the lobby, and until the new lock arrives that card is a map to the door. The patch gap and its two halves, in Exodus Intelligence's and Google's own words, and why a fix can't be hidden: a diff draws a circle around the bug. EXPLOIT WEDNESDAY: Patch Tuesday (2003), the 2008 paper that made attacks from patches in minutes, Exodus's 2019 Chrome exploit, Chrome's patch gap from 35 days to 15, and Mandiant's average time-to-exploit from 63 days to below zero. SIX FOR SIX: Epoch's sealed room, GLM 5.3 picking the security fixes out of ordinary changes, the two-bug chain through Firefox's sandbox, a webpage that sends a file out on a visit, six of six releases, about $1,000 each, 12 hours at best; Chrome held after $100,000; Firefox 159, where 34 fixes came from OpenAI's Codex Security. NOBODY SAID NO: no refusals, 6,500 abliterated models, ARTEX and AntiFox in real attacks, decompiling closes the closed-source escape. WHAT TO DO TODAY. THE PATH FORWARD: the gap shrinking from weeks to minutes, a robot at every board, the race flipping to defenders who fix and ship in one moment, the ancestor of the Superhacker, the two worms that already tried to patch strangers' machines (Welchia in 2003, Wifatch in 2014), and what Maitreya does with a key to every door.

Do this today: turn automatic updates on, restart your browser when it asks, and check when your router last updated.

THE DRAMA: Jensen Huang resigned from Nvidia, its only CEO in 33 years; Colette Kress is interim CEO and Harvey C. Jones the board's first chair. CNN reports the intelligence so far does not prove Alice Huang spied for Beijing. Nvidia lost about $1.6 trillion since early October, and OpenAI joined Anthropic in backing bipartisan chip export controls. Plus Martin Casado, Dylan Patel, and Hugging Face's Clem Delangue. THE CURVE: Will DePue's Unemployment Labs read the fingerprint of Nvidia's Blackwell chips out of the published weights of six Chinese models from DeepSeek, Moonshot, MiniMax and Ant Group; both frontiers change shape (Gemini 4 Hydrogen, Inkling 2 Small); and the authors of AI 2027 now expect a superhuman AI researcher in 2027, with a receipt from July. THE SUPERHACKER: a public N-central exploit hit 21 servers within hours, 19 of them fully patched; Nvidia driver flaws let a GPU tenant take the host; a Linux reviewer steps back from the flood of AI patches. OFF THE LEASH: OpenAI traces why its models learn to think where monitors cannot see. AI SOLVING EVERYTHING: Claude helps find a dwarf planet candidate, and Axiom's machine-verified proof of Faltings' theorem. THE MONEY: Anthropic's IPO, said to be six times oversubscribed, and the bubble odds. ALGOPROG: vLLM on Vera Rubin, and three months of GPU rental prices. MONKEYS AND CLOUDS: who pays for the power.

Nvidia ousted Jensen Huang, its founder and only CEO for 33 years, and named CFO Colette Kress interim CEO, days after he admitted an affair with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed businesswoman US intelligence reportedly believes is a Chinese spy; a shareholder is suing, Semafor counts three Justice Department probes, SemiAnalysis tracks more than 1.5 GW of restricted Nvidia chips that still reached China, Commerce is finalizing a rule on remote chip access, Beijing calls the spy story fabricated, and the President wants Tim Cook for the job. Anthropic launched its IPO roadshow (825 million shares at $70 to $78, ticker ANT), with Nvidia and TSMC investing alongside, and its filing says its Autonomy 2 threshold for accelerating AI research is met; OpenAI's quarterly revenue hit $10 billion against a $10.9 billion adjusted operating loss. The AI Futures Project now expects the intelligence explosion in 2027, Paul Christiano warns of a material risk of AI takeover within a year, and New York launches the first state AI testing program. Google's Gemini 4 Carbon and Hydrogen, AlphaProof Code verifying Signal's cryptography, humanoids at Mercedes, Codex's byte-identical Python compiler, Claude Meetings.

THE DRAMA: Nvidia's board met on Wednesday evening to decide whether to remove Jensen Huang, after The Wall Street Journal's report and The New York Times' report of a second alleged affair, with an executive who reports to him; Bloomberg says Nvidia is working with an outside firm on CEO candidates; the stock rose 2.9% in the session and fell more than 9% after hours. The bigger story: three stalled chip bills are back for the defense bill, Commerce is finalizing a rule against renting restricted chips abroad, and the president meets Xi Jinping on Nov 18-19. THE SUPERHACKER: Epoch AI shows a free open-weight model, GLM 5.3, turning Firefox's published security fixes into working attacks for all six releases from Sept 17 to Oct 26, about $1,000 each: the patch gap, explained. Plus AntiFox and ARTEX in real attacks, and Hugging Face's abliterated models. THE CURVE: Claude Fable 5.2 sets a record on Epoch's Capabilities Index, above the trend, and takes Arena's agent board with +30.4%; the open frontier changes shape. AI SOLVING EVERYTHING: AlphaGenome 2 reads DNA cell by cell, and 48 agents rediscover a Maya town under the jungle in one night. THE MONEY: Sam Altman reportedly tells Samsung AI demand was double counted, the bubble odds, and SoftBank's $3.7 billion turbine write-off. ALGOPROG: Epoch's Inference Performance Index (a GB300 serves about 25 times an H100's agent work) and GPU rentals for the H100, H200 and B200. MONKEYS AND CLOUDS: a racketeering lawsuit over Georgia's Project Camellia.

#AI #Nvidia #ASIPill

Alex Wissner-Gross and Emad Mostaque, the best of a Moonshots episode with Peter Diamandis, Dave Blundin and Salim Ismail, reshaped for the ASI pilled.

Nvidia is investigating its own CEO over an alleged Chinese spy, and Alex says the Pax Silica is far more porous than anyone hoped: who wins? China. Emad calls it an influence operation and predicts clearances, witch hunts and bans on Chinese open models; Alex steelmans it as AI immigration. Then Claude Fable 5.2: on a log-log plot the autonomy curves go vertical around the summer of 2027, remote work is cooked, video games are cooked, and Emad's bull case is Model 4 sold only on a one-year commitment. In the Elonverse, SpaceX becomes Anthropic's missing bottom half, everything becomes a rental, Emad counts ten million robots for every manual job in America, and Alex calls the Dyson swarm the default outcome. Plus Delaware's AI companies, a grocery robot, the Moon, and billions of trillionaires. Not financial, legal or medical advice.
