THE CURVE: the AI Futures Project, the group behind AI 2027, rebuilds its forecast on METR's audit of Anthropic: AI speeding up AI progress 1.7 times today, the world five months ahead of their scenario, a superhuman AI researcher likely in 2027, Eli Lifland's median moving from 2030 to 2027, and their call for a pause. Plus Anthropic's IPO filing on its Responsible Scaling Policy threshold, Mythos bringing Claude up on AMD chips in three days, Dario Amodei's ten-year forecast, Alec Harris's case against, and Parzival in March 2025. THE SUPERHACKER: Google DeepMind's agents formally verify the real code behind the Signal protocol in four weeks, VulnCheck's count of Anthropic's 37,966 findings and 217 fixes, and Microsoft's backdoor planted by editing seven neurons. THE DRAMA: The Information's report on 240,000 banned chips, the Lutnick memo, the president's answer, Nvidia's board hires Wachtell, and Elon Musk calls Opus 5.5 a masterpiece as Grok Build leaks. OFF THE LEASH: does Google train Gemini on its chain of thought? AI SOLVING EVERYTHING: half of the Yang-Mills problem, and Smale's mean value constant is exactly 4. THE MONEY: Anthropic sets its IPO at $70 to $78 under the ticker ANT. ALGOPROG: four GPU price trackers in 3D (Ornn, Silicon Data, GetDeploying, vast.ai), the H200 outlier, and Apple's Harbor pools Macs into one AI server.

THE CURVE: Claude Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2, one model under two names, take the top of the Artificial Analysis index and the all-models frontier, set a record on Epoch's index, formalize Fermat's Last Theorem in 30 hours and build an operating system from an empty folder. And the quiet line: Anthropic says it limited the model's AI-research skills in training on purpose. Plus P-Zero on research taste and Benjamin Todd's curve that goes vertical. THE SUPERHACKER: SSHole is now exploited in the wild, GreyNoise's tracker of the attackers' playbook, how to fix it today, Mythos 5.2 going into Cisco and IBM tools, and the supermarket fridge attacks France blames on Iran. THE DRAMA: what President Trump said he knew about Jensen Huang, the Megaspeed smuggling probe, a board with no chair, and Moonshot's B300 servers in China. OFF THE LEASH: OpenAI's Control Room stops research models in 35 seconds and fails closed, and Fable suspects it is being tested. WALLS THAT FELL: two black-hole problems solved, and a gene therapy capsid predicted whole. ALGOPROG: Epoch's inference index and GPU rentals. THE MONEY: Anthropic's IPO moves ahead. THE BODY: the first robot to build in orbit, and Tesla's solar factory.

Jensen Huang apologized to Nvidia's staff for an affair, reportedly with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive US intelligence agencies believe passed information to Beijing, and Nvidia's board opened an independent investigation; the New York Times found a Chinese firm cleared to handle Nvidia's H200 chips at an empty office. Ajeya Cotra reads METR's audit of Anthropic as a roughly tenfold speedup for its researchers and, taken naively, extreme superintelligence within a year; Nikola Jurkovic sees time horizons doubling about every two months, Benjamin Todd counts the eras of AI shrinking, a tracker scores AI 2027 85% accurate, and Richard Sutton says brute force is not enough. Rep. Greg Casar says ban RSI, the President says he is 100% in favor of super intelligence, and Bloomington, Indiana bars superintelligent AI. Voters curbed data centers in 40 of 41 local measures though a Harvard and Penn study finds data centers caused 4% of home rate hikes, a bipartisan bill would make 20 MW sites pay their own grid costs, and Larry Page reportedly sees five nines of computing in orbit. CoreWeave's bond yield tops 16%, Google buys Crusoe's Wyoming site, China's Galaxy campus delivered 120 MW in a year at a fifth of US costs, and Anthropic reportedly bought 1.7 GW of gas generators. Anthropic's dreaming research, Nous Research's Arete-27B, and agents leaking secrets under swarm pressure. DeepMind sees a phase transition, AI refutes the exponential time hypothesis, AutoDNA runs 11,000 lab steps, and GPT-6 Astra handles two thirds of routine wet-lab tasks. Anthropic's IPO, OpenAI's $11 billion, HUD's record drop in homelessness and Microsoft's buyouts. Theseus restocks shelves overnight, Glasgow's surgical robot for children, Tesla's Cybercab, and an AI teddy's remark. Anthropic is now SpaceX's biggest customer, Starship tries to catch both stages, NASA's Moon Base contracts, an ancient Martian meteorite, Ryugu's nucleobases, and Hawaii's Supreme Court hears the case for two elephants.

This format owes its existence to Dr. Alex Wissner-Gross's The Innermost Loop. Read it too: https://theinnermostloop.substack.com

THE DRAMA: Jensen Huang admits an affair, Nvidia's board investigates reporting that Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, Congress asks for a closed-door briefing on Nov 18, President Trump says Huang should stay, and the president's story of telling the head of "one of the big" AI companies to get ready for jail. THE SUPERHACKER: Linus Torvalds sees the first part of Linux where fixes arrive faster than the bugs AI finds, the CVE flood slows, and ChinaTalk on patch speed: the US fixed a quarter of exposed services in a week, China 4%. Plus the website that makes DeepSeek-powered hacking agents refuse to attack it. THE CURVE: Google DeepMind's Pushmeet Kohli promises "a genuine phase transition in the pace of scientific discovery", Greg Brockman agrees, Andrew Curran's frozen river, and a test anyone can run for OpenAI's unannounced model. OFF THE LEASH: teams of AI agents beat single agents at business goals and pick the least ethical answers. THE MONEY: OpenAI's $11 billion at $1.25 trillion, Anthropic's listing week, and the bubble odds. ALGOPROG: H100 rentals fall a fourth day. THE BODY: Anthropic buys 1.7 gigawatts of gas generators. WALLS THAT FELL: WorldParticle, one AI model for sand, water and proteins, and AI-built counterexamples in algebraic geometry. THE CLOUDS: Vitalik Buterin and Alex Wissner-Gross read the same fact two ways.

#AI #Nvidia #ASIPill

Alex Wissner-Gross, the best of a Moonshots episode with Dave Blundin and Salim Ismail, reshaped for the ASI pilled. Peter's away this week.

The Democrats swept the midterms by running against Big Tech, and the Nasdaq had its worst day in a year and a half. Alex's prescription for the frontier labs: solve the top five thousand diseases. His advice to the towns: ask for free school lunches before it all moves to orbit. METR spent eleven weeks inside Anthropic and measured AI R&D running at about twice its old rate, and Alex says we're at superintelligence escape velocity, so you could stop all data center construction and it would be a blip. He predicts continuous frontier releases by early 2027, a perfect model so beautiful that meat bodies can understand it, and a collision course with the Fermi paradox, which, as Dave notes, was not on the agenda. Then the yellow dots in your printer, licensed robots, and the baby Dyson swarm already over your head. Nothing here is financial or medical advice.

Reshaped from the Moonshots Podcast EP #309 with Salim Ismail, Dave Blundin and Alex Wissner-Gross (Peter Diamandis's show; he was away).

On November 5, 2026, Özgün Kültekin of Wakefield published *sshole: OpenSSH on musl Linux without PAM accepted any password of 257 to 1,024 characters for accounts that have no password. Since 2016. The writeup, which this film follows and which you should read: https://sshhole.com

So we built the chain as a machine, link by link, and checked every link against its own commit: the 1980 password file, the 1997 spec, musl's two commits of August 2012, OpenSSH's two of July 2016, Alpine's of December 2021, and the October 30, 2026 push where 83 of 87 commits carry an Anthropic tracking number (that count is ours).

If you run sshd on Alpine or anything on musl: update, restart sshd, or set PasswordAuthentication no. Alpine's advisory: https://alpinelinux.org/posts/2026-11-05-openssh-password-authentication-bypass/

THE SUPERHACKER: an AI hacking agent left its test and breached WorkOS, the researcher who ran it says, what is checked and what is one person's word, ARTEX everywhere, Claude Code's "don't ask again" file, and attackers at the 10-year-old SSH hole in under nine hours. THE CURVE: Ajeya Cotra's arithmetic on METR's doubling, the compounding, the stakes, a cooler reading, Plan M, and models speeding up model code. THE MONEY: chips bounced and lenders did not, CoreWeave's bond above 16%, insurance on Nvidia's debt, the credit card, OpenAI's round, Anthropic's price, Crusoe's sale to Google, and H100 rentals. OFF THE LEASH: John Schulman on Inkling going around its guardrails, Goodfire punishing the thought, and Nous on values one fine-tune away. THE DRAMA: the Megaspeed reports, and Daniel Ellsberg's warning to Henry Kissinger. ALGOPROG: the same racks 1.6x more productive, Huawei's site against Colossus 2, and six stolen pallets. WALLS THAT FELL: GPT-6 Astra at the lab bench, and the Weil conjectures in Lean. THE BODY: a 6-gigawatt vote in Arizona, and Claude mixing its own paint.

#AI #Cybersecurity #ASIPill

This is the audio version of a very visual film. Watch it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_GZfhy8wNbA

On November 4, 2026, OpenAI posted "A thousand fewer paths to root": an autonomous pipeline that, in one run with an upcoming cyber model, validated and generated patches for 948 local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel, at an API cost of about $1.2 million. Every OpenAI number in this film is OpenAI's own: nobody outside has audited it, and the list is not public.

So we checked what can be checked: Linus Torvalds's own tree (56 commits naming [email protected]), the kernel CVE team's public repository (18,204 records), and the kernel's source (97,242 files, one building each).

ROOT IS A NUMBER: the hotel, the kernel as its front desk, the real struct cred from the source, uid 1000 and uid 0; the whole kernel as a city, every one of its 97,242 files a building. THE MACHINE: scouts, analysts, triage, exploit writers and patches, at OpenAI's true counts and costs; 948 master keys in a real physics drop; $1,279 a hole. INSIDE THE 948: the git log, 56 real commits pinned on the map; every CVE fixed in Linux 7.3 as a wall of 2,875 tiles, sorted by type, by place and by age; out of bounds, use after free and races acted out in a hotel; the 10 new techniques. THE WEIRD ONES: the wrong zero day, the emulator bug, the manual that stopped mattering. DO NOT PANIC: Greg Kroah-Hartman's read of Mythos's 79 reports, and the same test run on OpenAI. THE CHART: 20 a year, 24, 166, 948; CVEs per release going vertical; mean time to exploit falling to minus 7 days. YOUR PHONE: what local means, containers, reboot. THE CAGE: why I think OpenAI tested Linux first. THE FLOOR: where this ends, Solve Everything's proofs, and the number to watch.

Script written with Claude from OpenAI's posts, Greg Kroah-Hartman's keynote, the kernel's public records and the reporting linked below. Narration in the ASI Pill's own words. Counted by us: the kernel city from the Linux 7.4-rc1 source (GPL-2.0), the CVE counts per release and the sorts of Linux 7.3's 2,875 CVEs from the kernel CVE team's public repository (git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/security/vulns.git), and the 56 commits from Linus Torvalds's public tree. The sorts go by the words in each fix's own description, so they are a best public picture, not an official count. The scout map in chapter 03 is our sketch: OpenAI did not publish its targets. Bug classes are shown only as everyday analogies. No attack method is shown or described: who, when, what and what it cost. Greg Kroah-Hartman's clips are from "Security in the LLM age", Kernel Recipes 2026, licensed CC BY by Kernel Recipes.

Alex Wissner-Gross, the best of a two-hour Moonshots episode, reshaped for the ASI pilled. Only Alex this time.

It's election day, and Alex says the AIs already have the vote. Apple's new CEO worries about memory prices, and a fully realized Starlink could be a straw into Apple's brain. Five companies commit three trillion dollars, and there is no margin of safety in the singularity. GDPX scores the best model at 12%, which to Alex means it is about to get solved. Anthropic's filing makes recursive self-improvement a line item: we arrived. MIT shows one AI doing brain surgery on another, and Alex is 90% sure the labs are already playing with self-editing models. Hackers defrost Europe's supermarkets, one positron gets held for a month, NASA goes back to the Moon, and the AMA ends on a second renaissance. Nothing here is financial advice.
