Back in November 2021, one Bitcoin could buy roughly 34.5 ounces of gold. Today, that same Bitcoin buys just…
Claude Code has become increasingly popular in the first year since its launch, and especially in recent months, as developers and non-technical users alike flock to AI unicorn Anthropic's hit coding agent to create full applications and websites in days, on their own, that would've taken months and technical teams without. It's not a stretch to say it helped spur the "vibe coding" boom — using plain English instead of programming languages to write software.But it's all been restricted to the desktop Claude Code apps and Terminal command-line interfaces and integrated development environments (IDEs) — until today. Now, Anthropic has…
Anthropic has detailed three “industrial-scale” AI model distillation campaigns by overseas labs designed to extract abilities from Claude.These competitors generated over 16 million exchanges using approximately 24,000 deceptive accounts. Their goal was to acquire proprietary logic to improve their competing platforms.The extraction technique, known as distillation, involves training a weaker system on the high-quality outputs of a stronger one.When applied legitimately, distillation helps companies build smaller and cheaper versions of their applications for customers. Yet, malicious actors weaponise this method to acquire powerful capabilities in a fraction of the time and cost required for independent development.Protecting intellectual property like Anthropic’s…
A potential final sell-off in Bitcoin is back in focus after market analyst Aaron Dishner warned that the asset appears structurally close to capitulation. Based on cycle timing, historical drawdowns, and converging technical signals, he argues the market may be nearing its last downside move before a longer-term bottom forms. He urges investors to brace for volatility as this “bottom year” unfolds. Bitcoin’s Past Fractal Points To One More Flush Dishner’s framework centers on a structural comparison to May 2022.
