Figure CEO Brett Adcock on the company's newest robotics model, developed in a secret lab called Black Box: "It was the most significant moment I've ever had in robotics. I think it's baby AGI. It's like a guy in a suit. I've never seen anything like this before in robotics." x.com/TheHumanoidLab…

Marc Andreessen on the generational divide in how people receive new technology: "If you're below the age of 15, it's just the natural way the world works. If you're between 15 to 35, it's new, exciting, and you might be able to make a career out of it. If you're above 35, it's unholy and evil, and will surely overturn all existing structures and destroy society." "I think 18-year-olds right now, it's prime time to grab these new capabilities and run with them." x.com/a16z/status/21…

Bitcoin Core is updating its security disclosure policy in response to the flood of AI-discovered vulnerabilities. Antoine Poinsot on the Bitcoin-Dev mailing list: "This is largely due to LLMs drastically reducing the bar to find certain classes of issues or identify covert fixes. For these issues that are easy to find, the embargo period achieves little but it delays the availability of a fixed release." Bugs that an LLM can find with a simple prompt will now get backported fixes and fast-tracked releases instead of sitting behind a long embargo.

PHP2Shell is the biggest security story of the year. PHP runs under the hood of nearly 70% of all websites. AI tools from Wiz, Google, and OpenAI independently found bugs that had been sitting in the code for over a decade, with severity scores as high as 9.2 out of 10. Wiz showed attackers taking over WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla sites without even logging in. The disclosure leaked early on social media, forcing everyone's hand. Cloudflare saw thousands of exploit attempts before the announcement, millions after. Wikimedia took systems offline. The NSA told organizations that can't patch to go dark. The key line from Wiz: "Complexity may no longer provide a meaningful barrier." For decades, software stayed safe because breaking it was too hard. AI erased that moat. 2026 has already produced 21.7% of every CVE ever published, with ten weeks left in the year. Bitcoiners saw this coming. The Coldcard drains, Boltz pausing swaps, the BTCPay emergency this summer. The Bitcoin Red Team spun up AI-assisted reviews across hundreds of repos. Now it's hit the broader web. Watch for the response. This is a perfect setup for calls to lock down the internet: digital ID to get online, permission slips to run models, only approved companies near the frontier. Open-source software and open-weight models are what keep defense from becoming a permissioned activity. Defend them.
