Presidio Bitcoin's Open Source AI Summit takeaways: 1. Tell better, bolder stories. Open AI models expand freedom, privacy, and resistance to authoritarianism. 2. Protect open-source AI in policy. 1,500+ state AI bills already introduced. "Code is speech" alone is a weak legal strategy. 3. Scale up open security work. David Sacks said frontier model guardrails "end up guardrailing the good guys." 4. Raise the bar from open weights to true open source. Allen AI's Noah Smith: "If we only have the final weights, then the most important decisions have already been made for us." 5. Grow the community.

Axios reports that executives at OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI companies are privately gaming out "day after" scenarios for a catastrophic AI event, most likely a cyberattack that shuts down banking, internet, power, or water. Many AI insiders told Axios they believe a major incident will happen within six to 12 months. OpenAI says its preparedness exercises "are not treated as inevitable, but are meant to help us prepare for a variety of circumstances." Sam Altman told Politico last week that "the world should accept some bad things happening" in exchange for the benefits of AI, though he drew a line against "really catastrophic" risks.

Galaxy's @intangiblecoins is tracing the bitcoin portion of the Ledger CryptoBilis supply chain attack. So far he's identified 213.42 BTC ($17.7M) in losses. 92% of stolen funds were less than 90 days old. All traced bitcoin is sitting unspent in three collector addresses. Analysis is preliminary and bitcoin-only. EVM and Tron tracing is still underway.

NYU math professor Tristan Buckmaster: "This recent dump of papers on Tuesday destroyed the careers of early career mathematicians. We had whole research programs wiped out." He says OpenAI has a massive conflict of interest. Researchers submit proposals, panelists summarize them using AI, and those research programs end up in the training data. "They have all the mathematicians and scientists' research programs in their training data and how they're going to go about it."

New research from Galaxy: OpenAI released 719 math results this week. None directly related to cryptography. But Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake urged the industry to "begin planning for bunker mode" over concerns AI could find a way to break ECDSA, the signature scheme behind Bitcoin. "The fear of AI posing a near-term threat to cryptography is more of an extrapolation than reality." Galaxy notes that "some marketing incentives likely sit behind the scary headlines" and that none of the 719 results have been externally verified by mathematicians. "The only things to fear are fear itself and its opposite, complacency. But fear, rightly channeled, is also what turns a warning into preparation before the warning proves true."

Bradley Tusk on why Anthropic shouldn't go public: "Their own S-1 says that their product poses an existential risk to humanity. So if you're really that worried about safety, is taking on all the pressure of the public markets on top of that a good idea?"

Walter Isaacson on CNBC: "You're building one of the most powerful but also most dangerous technologies, and you have maybe eight or ten people that nobody exactly trusts in charge. That's probably not the best way to do things."

The FBI arrested a Canadian national in Pennsylvania this week in connection with the ShinyHunters hack of the FBI's own jobs site. The breach exposed home addresses, Social Security numbers, family details, medical records, and job assignments of thousands of FBI employees and local police officers working on task forces. The hack was traced back to an Accenture contractor who failed to patch a vulnerable system. The contractor has been fired. ShinyHunters has allegedly breached more than 140 organizations and extorted $70 million since last year. This is the third ShinyHunters arrest in weeks.
