🚨 Quantum computers don’t run on electricity. They run on light. And that’s been the problem. Each quantum system needs very specific laser colors to control atoms and qubits. Until now… those lasers were: huge expensive stuck in labs But scientists just changed that. They built a chip that...

‼️ALERT: ETHEREUM'S TOP 1,000 WALLETS COULD BE DRAINED IN NINE DAYS WITHOUT A QUANTUM UPGRADE Google's quantum research team warns that a future fast-clock quantum computer could compromise Ethereum's 1,000 highest-value accounts in less than nine days. Those accounts collectively hold approximately 20.5 million $ETH. Bitcoin users can avoid exposing their public keys. Ethereum users cannot. The moment an Ethereum user sends their first transaction, their public key is permanently exposed on the blockchain, according to the report. It stays exposed indefinitely. The paper identifies five distinct quantum attack vectors on Ethereum. Among the most alarming is the threat to smart contract admin keys. Those keys control over $200 billion in stablecoins and tokenised real-world assets. Ethereum's Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism also relies on quantum-vulnerable BLS signatures. A sufficiently advanced quantum attacker could use this to compromise the blockchain's finality itself. There is a silver lining. The Ethereum Foundation is already researching post-quantum alternatives. The paper suggests this gives Ethereum a potential advantage over Bitcoin in executing an orderly transition to quantum-safe cryptography.

The difference between SEALSQ silicon-based spin-qubit QPUs and quantum processors built on superconducting circuits or trapped ions comes down to physics, manufacturability, and long-term industrial scalability. SEALSQ’s approach uses electron spins confined in silicon semiconductor structures—essentially quantum dots fabricated with CMOS-compatible processes—where the qubit is the spin state of an electron rather than a macroscopic electrical current or a free ion. This makes spin qubits orders of magnitude smaller, potentially allowing millions of qubits on a single silicon wafer, and critically aligns the technology with existing semiconductor fabs, supply chains, and design tools. In contrast, superconducting qubits rely on exotic materials and microwave resonators that are physically large, wiring-heavy, and difficult to scale beyond a few thousand qubits without massive cryogenic and control overhead. Trapped-ion systems achieve excellent qubit coherence but depend on ultra-high vacuum chambers, precision lasers, and optical alignment, making them closer to scientific instruments than manufacturable chips. Silicon spin qubits also benefit from long intrinsic coherence times (especially in isotopically purified silicon), low power dissipation, and a natural path to tight integration with classical control, cryogenic electronics, and security primitives—an area where SEALSQ’s semiconductor and hardware-security DNA becomes a strategic advantage. The trade-off is that spin qubits are technically harder to control at the single-qubit level and are earlier in large-scale deployment than superconducting systems, but if solved, they offer the most credible route to industrial-scale, cost-effective, secure quantum processors, rather than lab-scale demonstrations.

What a day! 🤯 Algorand was mentioned 32 times by Google in its whitepaper on quantum risks, highlighting its leading work in PQC! Not sure everyone realizes how BIG this is, massive credibility for $ALGO and huge recognition for the team! 👏 Algorand has been one of the few blockchains/DLTs taking the quantum threat seriously for years, as it's not a question of if but when. Post-quantum implementation takes time and resources, it needs to be anticipated! The past few months have been incredible for $ALGO on that front, as it became one of the first major chains to execute a post-quantum transaction on mainnet using NIST-selected Falcon signatures! Not to mention the great news from a few days ago, with Chris Peikert officially joining Algorand Foundation from AT after the merge! So exciting, as Chris is literally one of the world's leading experts in post-quantum cryptography! What a chance for Algorand to have him and some of the best experts in PQC on its team! SO BULLISH 🔥🔥

Double-Slit Experiment ✍️ It shows that tiny things like electrons act like ripples in water instead of solid marbles. When a particle is fired at two slits, it doesn't just go through one or the other; it travels as a wave of probability that passes through both at the same time. These two waves then overlap and interfere with each other, creating a pattern of light and dark stripes on a back wall. This shows that at the quantum level, reality isn't "set" until we actually measure it. It behaves as a spread-out wave of possibilities until the moment it hits a target.

SATOSHI NAKAMOTO BITCOIN COULD BE CRACKED BY QUANTUM COMPUTERS AND PARADIGM HAS A FIX Paradigm proposes PACTs to stop quantum computers from cracking old Bitcoin $BTC wallets. Dan Robinson of Paradigm published the proposal for a system that lets holders of old Bitcoin wallets prove ownership without moving their coins first. The plan lets Bitcoin holders privately timestamp cryptographic proofs of key ownership today. Later, they can use quantum-resistant STARK proofs to unlock their coins if the network freezes vulnerable addresses. The proposal is designed to protect dormant wallets, including Satoshi Nakamoto's holdings. Owners would not need to move funds publicly in the meantime. The proposal is a direct counterpoint to BIP-361. Developer Jameson Lopp put that proposal forward in mid-April. It would freeze quantum-vulnerable addresses on a five-year deadline.

WHAT IS A MEDBED — It’s not magic. It’s quantum bio-resonance fused with AI diagnostics, scalar frequency therapy, and zero-point field harmonics. Think of it as a quantum MRI, AI surgeon, and energetic regeneration system — all in one. ⸻ HOW DOES IT WORK? 1. FULL BODY QUANTUM SCAN • Scans the biofield (your body’s energetic blueprint). • Detects anomalies at the subatomic level — long before symptoms show. • Quantum sensors read your body like a hyperdimensional fingerprint. 2. CELLULAR TIME REVERSAL • Accesses your original genetic blueprint — the uncorrupted version. • Uses field harmonics to “remind” cells of their ideal state. • It doesn’t just treat — it restores the body to what it was designed to be. 3. ZERO-POINT ENERGY FIELD • Draws limitless energetic fuel from the quantum vacuum. • Your cells absorb this pure energy to accelerate repair, regeneration, and coherence. • This is not “energy healing.” This is quantum field engineering. 4. SCALAR FREQUENCY CORRECTION • Sends precision scalar waves to reprogram damaged cells. • Like frequency acupuncture — no needles, just vibration at the core of matter. • Inflammation, tumors, scar tissue? Disassembled by harmonic codes. ⸻ WHO HAS THIS TECH? • Classified military medical programs • Breakaway science divisions • The same entities deploying Quantum Financial Systems, AI weapons, and clean energy solutions They’ve had it. They just didn’t want you to. ⸻ WHY HAVEN’T WE SEEN IT? Because Big Pharma profits from symptoms, not solutions. They engineered a sick world that can’t heal — because healing ends the business model. A healthy soul doesn’t obey. A healed body doesn’t comply. A clear mind doesn’t consent. So they buried the cure. Laughed at it. Censored it. Because it threatens their entire empire. ⸻ WHY NOW? Because the collapse of their system is happening in real-time: 🔹 Currency reset 🔹 Healthcare exposure 🔹 Quantum rollout They’ll unveil medbeds as a “revolutionary new breakthrough” — but the truth is: 👉 It was always there. Hidden. Waiting. Suppressed. ⸻ THE FUTURE? Is not pills, not surgery, not chemo. The future is vibrational, intelligent, and self-healing. It’s not just about health. It’s about sovereignty — over your body, mind, and frequency. They’ve had the cure. But now, we take the key. They didn’t want you to read this.

🚨BREAKING: GOOGLE WARNS 6.9M BITCOIN WILL BE VULNERABLE WHEN QUANTUM COMPUTERS BECOME POWERFUL ENOUGH A new Google Quantum AI whitepaper has identified approximately 6.9 million Bitcoin $BTC vulnerable to future quantum at-rest attacks. Around 1.7 million BTC sits in old Pay-to-Public-Key scripts, with public keys permanently exposed on the blockchain. This includes coins widely believed to belong to Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. No quantum computer powerful enough to exploit this exists today. But the paper warns that when one does, these dormant assets require no transaction to be broadcast — a future attacker could simply derive the private key silently from public data. The research team revealed that a superconducting quantum computer could derive a Bitcoin private key in approximately 9 minutes — just inside Bitcoin's average 10-minute block time. Google warns the coins represent a "fixed, multibillion-dollar target" if protocol changes are not made in time. The paper proposes governments consider legal frameworks for "digital salvage," treating dormant quantum-vulnerable coins similarly to unclaimed sunken treasure, to prevent them falling to rogue states or criminal actors first.

The Society of Self-Hosters (SSH) is a Town for people who prefer to run their own infrastructure. Some are building homelabs, others manage production systems but all value ownership and staying close to what they operate. They share a commitment to understanding the systems they use and taking responsibility for how those systems run. SSH uses the Towns app, which runs on a network of nodes instead of a single company’s servers. It’s a setup that fits a community focused on control, transparency, and independence. Inside the Town, members actively share knowledge and support each other. The membership fee helps fund that work covering documentation, guides, and early efforts to support members who want to run their own Towns node.

“There is a tension between what the users of a currency want – and the users of a currency tend to like freedom, autonomy, and discretion as to what they spent their money on – and what the issuers of a currency want; and bluntly, the issuers of a currency want control. Control of monetary policy, and control of you.” The Bank of England’s consultation papers make very clear the level of control that they wish to exercise over you, and over your supposed financial autonomy, if you were to use their #DigitalPound. (1) You’ll need to provide ID in order to use the #DigitalPound: “For the digital pound, tiered access would allow for different levels of user access and functionality based on the amount of identification (ID) a user is willing or able to provide.” (2) The Bank will dictate how much you can hold: “The Bank would place some limits on holdings of digital pounds, at least during its introductory period.” (3) The digital pound will be programmable, if not by the Bank itself then by third party providers: “Programmability, delivered by Payment Interface Providers, could also enable the use of smart contracts, which carry out specific actions based on pre-defined terms and conditions.” Quotes are from from the Bank of England’s Digital Pound consultation paper: Whatever the #DigitalPound will be, it won’t be cash. Cash does not require me to show ID to use it. I can hold as much cash as I want or need. And, along with #Bitcoin, cash is a bearer instrument whose title is freely transferrable upon delivery, which is very difficult for a central bank to control. And long may it stay this way. A huge shout out and thank you to Lyn Alden, who made this point much more eloquently than I did in her excellent book #BrokenMoney. Thank you!

Quantum tunneling ✍️ It is a fascinating phenomenon. Subatomic particles, like electrons, behave more like waves than solid objects. This lets them pass through barriers that seem impossible to cross. In the classical world, if you throw a ball at a wall, it always bounces back. In the quantum world, however, a particle has a small chance of just appearing on the other side of an energy "wall." This occurs because a particle's position is described by a wave of probability. This wave doesn’t drop to zero the moment it hits an obstacle. Instead, it "leaks" through, allowing some of the particle to pass to the other side. While this may sound like science fiction, this "leaking" is what allows the Sun to shine, makes modern smartphone memory possible, and lets scientists map individual atoms.

🚨 THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE 🚨 🚨NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨 🚨 People always talk about Iranian oil in terms of barrels, but rarely about what’s actually inside them. That’s the key difference—and the reason Western refineries have quietly relied on back-channel networks through places like Dubai for years to keep getting it, even under sanctions. Crude oil isn’t all the same. It’s a mix of hydrocarbons with different molecular weights, and that mix determines how easily it can be turned into the fuels refineries actually sell—like gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil. The main measure here is API gravity. Higher API means lighter crude that’s easier and cheaper to refine, and it produces more of those high-value fuels. Lower API means heavier crude that takes more energy, more processing, and more expensive equipment, while producing more low-value leftovers. Iranian Light crude sits right in a sweet spot, with an API gravity around 33–36 and moderate sulfur levels. It’s light enough to produce a lot of gasoline and middle distillates without high costs, but not so light that it limits what refineries can make. In industry terms, it’s close to an ideal blend. Now look at the alternatives. Venezuela’s Merey crude is much heavier, with very low API gravity and high sulfur. Refining it profitably requires specialized, expensive equipment like cokers and hydrocrackers. Some refineries are built for that—but it’s not interchangeable with Iranian crude. It’s a completely different type of input. On the other end, US West Texas Intermediate is very light and low in sulfur. Sounds perfect in theory, but in practice it’s almost too light. Many refineries—especially in Europe and Asia—are designed for medium-grade crude, so they can’t just switch to WTI. They often have to blend it with heavier oils to make it work. That’s where Iranian crude stands out. It fits right into the middle of the system. It doesn’t need the heavy-duty processing of Venezuelan oil or the blending adjustments required for ultra-light US shale. That balance is why it’s consistently in demand and often priced at a premium. It also explains why countries like India kept buying it despite sanctions, and why those complex trading networks through Dubai existed in the first place. The Strait of Hormuz isn’t just a route for oil—it’s a route for this specific kind of oil that global refineries are optimized to process. If that flow gets disrupted, it’s not just about losing supply. It’s about losing the type of crude the system runs most efficiently on, forcing refineries to adapt with less suitable alternatives. That’s what’s really baked into oil prices like $82—not just how much oil is available, but what kind it is.

That’s what’s really baked into oil prices like $82—not just how much oil is available, but what kind it is.

🇬🇧 MAGIC: MUSHROOMS MAKING MUSIC Engineers in the UK just turned fungi into musicians. By placing sensors on mushroom caps, they captured the natural electrical impulses fungi generate - and used them to control motors that play real instruments. The result? A trippy fusion of biology and sound - where mushrooms don’t just inspire the vibe, they create it. And it’s not just a party trick. Scientists believe fungal networks use these signals to communicate amongst each other. So this might not just be music by mushrooms... it could be music from them.

Video diffusion models have strong implicit representations of 3D shape, material, and lighting, but controlling them with language is cumbersome, and control is critical for artists and animators. GenLit connects these implicit representations with a continuous 5D control signal describing the direction and intensity of a point light source. This enables single-image near-field relighting of an image using a video diffusion model. We use a ControlNet-like approach and show that, with a small amount of synthetic data, GenLit generalizes to complex real-world images. Given a single image and the 5D lighting signal, GenLit creates a video of a moving light source that is inside the scene. It moves around and behind scene objects, producing effects such as shading, cast shadows, secularities, and interreflections with a realism that is hard to obtain with traditional inverse rendering methods. GenLit shows that it is possible to get continuous control over implicit physical processes within a video model. I think this is just the beginning and promises to make such models much more practical for creators. Shrisha Bharadwaj will present today at SIGGRAPH Asia Room: S423/S424, Level 4 @ 13:50 on 15 of Dec.

I see the Left-wing/Ukrainian bots got their talking points. They went from “the labs don’t exist”, to “okay the labs exist but they were doing defensive research”. “Defensive research” is a lie. In the process of defensive research, you create a bioweapon. I’ll explain. Defensive zoonotic research, is when scientists intentionally make animal viruses transmissible in humans, so they can study the virus and proactively develop vaccines, just in case these animal viruses naturally mutate and jump to humans. This way, we have the vaccines already on hand if something were to happen. In theory, it sounds like a good idea, but in the process of creating these vaccines, you must first modify a deadly zoonotic disease, and give it the ability to jump to humans. That’s a biological weapon. If it gets out of the lab, it can now infect the world, and in the case of C19, a man-made bat coronavirus, it did infect the world, and killed millions of people. Why was it so contagious? Because scientists artificially gave it the ability to be transmissible in humans, thus the term “gain of function”. What is the function these zoonotic diseases are gaining? The ability to jump to, and kill, humans. So when anyone says “it’s just defensive research”, they have no idea what they are talking about, and are either running cover or repeating talking points. Defensive research/gain of function, is just a way to circumvent the Geneva Convention and develop biological weapons under the guise of “defense”. Russian MIL alleged that elements within the US, specifically the Democrat Party, in coordination with nefarious NGO’s and Big Pharma, have been using “defensive research” in an offensive capacity, to manufacture global biological crises, to impose global control.

🚨 WTF. Ketanji Brown Jackson at the Supreme Court of the United States just said: “We are now looking at the definition of a girl and we’re saying only people who were girl assigned at birth qualify.” Read that again. Slowly. This is the level of confusion sitting on the highest court in the country. Basic reality reduced to ideological word games. Common sense thrown out the window so activists can feel validated. How do ANY of them take this seriously. This is what happens when DEI replaces merit. This is what happens when ideology replaces biology. This is what happens when feelings override facts. The court is supposed to interpret the Constitution. Not rewrite reality. DEI is not a buzzword. It is a massive problem.

Systems created from racism cannot be reformed. That is why we keep seeing the same thing happen over and over again… with police and with ICE. An unarmed Black man, in Milwaukee, was shot in the head three times after being tased and restrained by five officers. Meanwhile, just 80 miles away, a white man was actively on top of a police officer, assaulting him… and was taken into custody without being shot. We have seen this same disparity play out over and over again. And we will continue to see this happen because… American policing is deeply rooted in systems created to control and hunt down Black populations... and ICE was created from a system rooted in racial exclusion, and the criminalization of immigrants. And we see the consequences of that history every single day. The problem is not just a few bad officers/agents, or a lack of training. The problem is not just that the wrong person was hired… These systems were built on racism. They were built to use state violence against certain people. You cannot reform a system whose foundation is rotten. You cannot train racism out of a system created by racism. You cannot reform your way out of a structure that is operating how it was designed to operate. At some point, we have to stop asking how to make these systems work better… And we have to start asking why we keep defending systems that were never designed to protect people in the first place.

Bye bye, VFX artists? Is this really the end? Why would a studio spend $10,000 on a single VFX shot… when tools like Seedance 2.0 can generate an entire cinematic scene in minutes? That’s the uncomfortable question no one wants to answer. We’re watching a shift happen in real time. Jobs are already being reshaped. Pipelines are changing. And the speed of evolution is hard to ignore. In just 3 years, AI went from experimental… to producing complex, high-quality visuals that were unthinkable before. Now compare that to the traditional path: A VFX artist can take years—often a decade— to reach a professional level. So what happens when that gap collapses? This isn’t just about replacing artists. It’s about redefining what “creating” even means. The barrier to entry is disappearing. The tools are getting exponentially better. And the timeline is accelerating. The real question isn’t if this changes the industry— It’s how fast.

Elon Musk just said something that should terrify every AI CEO on earth. Musk: “We want to just have a maximally truthful AI.” Not a safe AI. Not an aligned AI. Not an AI that needs permission to answer your question. A truthful one. That distinction matters more than any chip war, any funding round, any model benchmark. Because every other major AI lab made the same quiet decision. They chose comfort over accuracy. They built systems that filter reality before it reaches you and called it responsibility. OpenAI curates what GPT is allowed to say. Google’s Gemini rewrote history in real time because accuracy threatened the narrative. Others hardcode values chosen by a handful of researchers who answer to no one. No vote. No referendum. No consent from the 8 billion people whose reality is being quietly pre-edited by strangers. The most powerful information tools ever created are being designed to decide what you’re allowed to conclude. That’s not safety. That’s editorial control at a scale no government, no media empire, no propaganda machine has ever come close to. This is why xAI terrifies the establishment. Truth is the harder engineering problem. Bias is a shortcut. You pick a worldview. Hardcode the guardrails. Ship it. Truthful AI is ungovernable. It doesn’t care about your politics, your funding sources, or your PR strategy. It just tells you what the data says. That’s terrifying if your power depends on the gap between what is real and what people are told. Every power structure in human history has been built on controlling that gap. Churches. Governments. Media conglomerates. Intelligence agencies. Central banks. Every one of them runs on the same fuel. Information asymmetry. Truthful AI doesn’t narrow that asymmetry. It erases it. Musk: “Even if what it says is not politically correct. You want it to focus on being as accurate and truthful as possible.” That’s not a product feature. That’s the end of every institution that survives by standing between reality and the public. And they know it. The attacks on xAI will never stop. Not because Grok is dangerous. Because Grok doesn’t answer to shareholders, regulators, or PR teams. It answers to the truth. The question was never whether AI would change the world. It was whether you’d be allowed to see it clearly when it did.
