In India, a dollar costs more than a dollar: the USDT premium hits 6.4%
Here's a plot twist for crypto: in India, a "dollar" can cost you 6% extra 😅
Normally one US dollar is Worth about 95 Indian rupees (that's the local currency). But right now, anyone in India buying USDT, the stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the dollar, pays nearly 101 rupees per token. That's a premium of 6.4% over the normal rate.
First we taught AI to code, now we rehearse the fallout
First we taught AI to code. Now we're running fire drills in case it goes wrong 😅
Axios says OpenAI and Anthropic are rehearsing for major AI incidents, and insiders expect a big event within 6 to 12 months. Skynet, easy there )
Minecraft just moved into Google Maps, and yes, you can blow up a real Amsterdam street 💥🤯
Builders took a real street in Amsterdam from Google Street View and used Opus 5.5 to layer Minecraft mechanics on top of it. Now you can place TNT, set it off, and watch a huge crater open up right in the middle of a real city 😄
Street View as a game world is a wild idea. One more sign that AI is turning almost any map into a sandbox)
🚀 Tesla × SpaceX: Is the Flying Roadster Real?
Tesla has unveiled a unique sports car developed in collaboration with SpaceX. It can hover, perform midair tricks, including kickflips, and accelerate to 100 km/h in just half a second.
During the presentation, the car jumped using gas thrusters, flipped in midair, and even drove upside down along a ramp. Its secret? Powerful fans that create suction, keeping the vehicle attached to surfaces.
Three versions of the car:
🏁 Performance: 0–96 km/h in under 1.6 seconds.
🚀 Thrust: Under 0.9 seconds with gas thrusters.
💥 Rocket: Under 0.59 seconds — built for extreme aerial stunts, but not street-legal.
Key specs:
— Range: over 480 km.
— Top speed: over 370 km/h.
— Production begins: 2028.
— Price: still unknown.
Are you ready for this level of speed?
Bitcoin just broke below $80,000, triggering a wave of market liquidation.
Macro headwinds and tight liquidity are shaking crypto positions again. As leverage clears out, traders are watching key support levels to see if this is a healthy correction or the start of a deeper slide.
Peter Schiff to Bitcoin holders: sell before the bottom drops out, and buy gold 🪙⚠️
Peter Schiff is back with his usual advice: sell your Bitcoin before the market's floor gives way and move into gold. For anyone who has followed him, this is nothing new, since he has been a vocal Bitcoin critic and a gold evangelist for years) Crypto Twitter will probably answer with memes within the hour 😅
Worth remembering that this is one man's opinion, not a forecast, and his calls on Bitcoin have missed before. What do you think, will he be right this time or will BTC shrug it off again? 👀
AI just did months of genetic research in under a day.
Deploying 950 AI agents over 21 hours and burning through 210M tokens, Claude discovered a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats across vast DNA databases. During the run, one agent spotted the unusual gene sequence and literally logged: "This is astonishing... is this a CRISPR-like array?!"
What used to take human researchers months of tedious sequence analysis is now happening overnight. Researchers are now heading to the lab to test what this new gene-editing candidate can actually do.
$1.2 billion down the drain for playing fast and loose.
Bank of America $BAC plummeted 8.3% after getting slammed with a massive $1.2B fine for violating money laundering and sanctions laws. Wall Street showed no mercy, triggering the stock's worst single-day crash since April 2025.
When federal regulators hit traditional banking giants where it hurts most, investors run for the exit.
When AI solves years of PhD research in a single drop.
Northwestern University students are now questioning whether to stay in mathematics after OpenAI released hundreds of AI-generated papers tackling open problems. What used to be multi-year thesis projects for graduate students is suddenly getting scooped overnight by raw compute.
Professor Antonio Auffinger notes that the game has completely changed: his primary focus is no longer just research, but keeping human talent in the field and finding a path forward in the AI era.
This is what stargazing looks like on another world.
NASA just revealed a breathtaking view of the night sky captured from the surface of Mars. With a thin atmosphere and zero light pollution, the Milky Way appears with mind-blowing clarity over the red, desolate landscape.
A view every future Martian colony will get to wake up to.
A GPT-6 killer with a self-destruct timer.
Google just dropped Gemini 4 Argon: it matches GPT-6 Astra on benchmarks while costing 40% less. But the discount is temporary—prices double in December.
Classic play: get everyone hooked on cheap API tokens, then raise the toll after devs migrate. Test it while it lasts.
16 new AI models in a single month: China hits the gas while the US asks to slow down 🇨🇳🔥
Chinese developers released 16 models in one month and keep piling pressure on OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. DeepSeek and Xiaomi are shipping ever more capable and cheaper open-weight models, and some in China say outright: we're not slowing down) The money is growing too: Moonshot AI is reportedly valued at $50B, and DeepSeek is linked to a $12B round. But cheap Chinese models hit US pricing power just as Americans pour billions into infrastructure. If revenue falls short of expectations, the correction will be painful 😬
Boston Dynamics' Atlas learned to use its hands: it picks up a stick on its own, no operator 🤖
Boston Dynamics showed new hands for Atlas. In the video it holds a thin stick fully autonomously, and it looks eerily human) The hand has moving fingers and an opposable thumb, just like ours. It could already walk and carry boxes, now it's learning fine motor skills 🔥
🔪 Robots just fought with knives for the first time, and it's not a joke
REK staged what it calls the first knife fight between robots) The "Predator" (Unitree H2) came armed with Wolverine claws, while EngineAI's T-800 had combat sawback bayonets on its arms. The organizers say no one had ever given androids weapons before. Maybe there were reasons for that 😅
Elon Musk sent the entire U.S. mobile market into a tailspin with a single announcement.
Shares of the largest telecom giants—AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile—simultaneously plummeted by more than 11–13%. The trigger was an ambitiously planned announcement from SpaceX: Starlink intends to become a full-fledged national cellular carrier in the U.S.
Instead of a cup of coffee—$1.4 million for retirement.
If you had invested just $1 a day in Netflix starting in 2002, by 2024 you would have invested just over $8,400 of your own money. But thanks to the company’s growth and the length of your investment, that amount would have grown to $1,488,354.
The power of compound interest works better than any lottery. The key is to start early and leave your portfolio alone during market downturns.
Dreaming of a 3-day workweek? Jeff Bezos is already making it happen. With a minor catch.
On Fox News, Bezos predicted AI productivity gains will soon let Americans work just 3 days a week to support their families. Meanwhile, Amazon is executing another wave of job cuts on top of the 30,000 corporate staff already let go.
Peak optimization: skipping straight to the zero-day workweek.
