🔐 A locked iPhone just gave up $10,000: no PIN, no Face ID, no problem.
Veritasium's Derek Muller and MKBHD (Marques Brownlee) ran a fascinating (and unsettling) experiment: they drained $10,000 from a fully locked iPhone using nothing but a small reader and a laptop. The phone screen never turned on. 🧠 What happened A video by Henry Reich (Veritasium) shows researchers successfully taking $10,000 from a locked iPhone belonging to Marques Brownlee . The phone was never unlocked, and no authentication (Face ID, passcode) was used. ⚙️ How the at

AI Data Confidentiality Clasification
If you want to be serious about AI, you need to think beyond just using models, you need to think about owning the stack . That means your model, your infrastructure, your safety layer, and your AI cybersecurity posture . Most teams today are still operating at the surface: calling APIs, plugging in copilots, experimenting with prompts. That’s fine for exploration. But it’s not where durable advantage, or real risk management, lives. Because the moment AI becomes core to your

AI companies, as "Central Banks of Intelligence" fueling the hyperbolic valuation!
The eye-popping of AI giants, like OpenAI (valued at $852B as of March 2026) , NVIDIA , Microsoft, Google, etc, are often misunderstood. While public markets look at monthly subscription revenue ($20/month for a "Pro" plan), venture capitalists and institutional investors are looking at something far more valuable: the Data Arbitrage. OpenAI’s $852B valuation is a massive bet on future dominance rather than current profits. Despite a soaring $25B revenue run-rate, the company

AI Teaches Us the Importance of Asking the Right Questions
What if the real skill in the age of AI isn’t knowing the answers, but asking better questions? When I think about this, I’m reminded of Raphael's masterpice, The School of Athens . In that timeless scene, philosophers aren’t memorizing facts, they’re debating, questioning, challenging each other. Knowledge begins with curiosity. AI works the same way! The quality of what we get from AI depends entirely on the quality of what we ask. A vague question leads to a generic answer

AI skills' dominance, or AI Theocracy?
In a recent conversation, Jensen Huang clearly states to Lex Fridman's show that: 📢 "If I have a choice between a new college graduate with no clue what AI is and one that is expert in using AI, I would hire the one who's expert in using AI." This statement is hardly controversial, it reflects the direction the market is heading and a reasonable point: knowing the tools of the era matters. From the other side, let’s be cautious not to generalize it into something broader tha

The "Magritte" Moment of the Auto Industry: Is Porsche Now a Target?
René Magritte visualized that the representation of an object is not the object itself. Today, looking at the Porsche AG stock chart ($ P911.DE ), we see a similar paradox. The brand remains a symbol of luxury, yet the Free Float Market Cap has "collapsed" to approximately €16.6 Billion ($18 Billion) as of March 2026. 💡 The Harsh Reality Despite the prestige, Porsche AG has struggled to fulfill the high expectations of the EV transition. In a world dominated by software

AI Understands Anti-Semitism (!)
The image shown is a parallax reinterpretation of the famous painting by Plymouth-born artist Solomon Alexander Hart (1806–1881), titled The Proposal of the Jews to Ferdinand and Isabella. It was generated using a well-known text-to-image LLM after a brief discussion with the model about geopolitics , history , and Judaism . Both the original painting and this version refer to the persecution of Jews in Spain under Isabella I of Castile, culminating in the Alhambra Decre
