🥬 Cannabis Producers Pivot to AI
A record cannabis price collapse is pushing producers to repurpose large industrial sites as AI data centers.
The sites already have power, water, climate control, and fiber optic links.
Producers want to become data center owners.

| 2 |  +2⚠️ AI 2027 Is Five Months Ahead
The AI Futures Project says reality is 5 months ahead of the original AI 2027 scenario, following METR’s report on Claude at Anthropic.
SAR, or Superhuman AI Researcher, is now expected in 2027 if development continues at the current pace. Its earlier estimate gave it a 50% chance in 2029. SAR would make replacing human researchers more profitable than keeping the best human team without AI.
The chance of Top-Expert-Dominating AI arriving in 2028 is now 35-65%. Analysts want an industry-wide pause, warning that companies may not build systems to control SAR in time. 2027 is 50 days away.

| 3 |  🗓 EpiPad Uses the Forearm as a Trackpad
A 5×4 mm millimeter-wave radar on the watch strap reads tiny changes in reflected signals as fingers press the skin, leaving the display untouched.
EpiPad estimates pressure from reflection phase and uses lightweight machine learning to recognize gestures. The forearm supports scrolling, zooming, clicks, pressure levels, and multi-finger input.
In tests with 20 volunteers, it achieved 92.8% gesture accuracy and 90.2% pressure accuracy, including with people absent from the training data. Its roughly 10 mm distance accuracy beat touchscreen and tilt controls, with fewer errors and higher efficiency.

| 4 |  6️⃣ GTA VI Sets Preorder Record
Nearly $1 billion in preorders came in during the week before release, making GTA VI the most preordered game ever.
Cyberpunk 2077 held the previous record.
Rockstar appears to have recouped half of its rumored $2 billion budget. GTA V reached $1 billion 3 days after launch.

| 5 |  🤖 OpenAI Adds a $200 Retro Console
The ModRetro Chromatic Codex Edition costs $200 and reads Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges. It includes a rewritable cartridge for custom games.
With the ModRetro plugin, users can describe a game in Codex, then have it build levels and animate sprites. A demo snowboard level ran on the Chromatic.
Games can be tested in a built-in emulator, then written to the cartridge after a firmware update and developer mode switch. OpenAI also published browser-playable demos and downloadable ROMs.

| 7 |  🔓 A Sensor Powered by Wiring
30 million times less energy than one AirPod powers a battery-free temperature sensor. A graphene coil with a steel core harvests energy from the changing magnetic field around AC wiring.
A Cockcroft-Walton multiplier raises the weak alternating signal to DC voltage, while three capacitors store the energy. If the wiring loses power, the reserve can last a day, and likely a week.
The nanowatt design could support sensor networks in factories, logistics, atmosphere and soil monitoring, wearables, and medicine. It only works near live wiring, has not shown startup from fully discharged capacitors, and cannot power a smartphone.

| 8 |  🪙 Seppuku Oath in Ethereum Plan
A former employee’s lawsuit says Ethereum Foundation staff were required to swear to commit seppuku if the software stopped being free. The oath was added to the foundation’s plan for the next 1000 years.
They had one weekend to sign or quit. About 80 of 250 employees asked for the clause to be removed.
Management kept it as “artistic decoration”, redrawing the text as an image with cats and anime girls. Protest organizers were fired.

On FrontierCode 2.0, Fable 5.2 with High effort matched Opus 5.5 at Max effort. Its cost per task was almost 2x lower. API pricing fell to $8/$40 from $10/$50.
Fable 5.2 also performed better with physical robots, including tasks it was not trained for. It scored 64.9% on RoboDojo, versus 29.8% for GPT-6 Astra. Mythos 5.2 proposed a new method for modeling capsids used in gene therapy.
A 1000-agent team formalized Fermat’s Last Theorem in Lean in 30 hours with almost no human input. Anthropic’s earlier attempt took 11 days. The new proof used 3x fewer tokens and was 7x shorter. In 8 days, Fable wrote a bootable OS from scratch.

After Democrats won yesterday’s congressional elections, Sam Altman spoke for OpenAI in favor of keeping AI under human control. Not long ago, he wrote that sacrifices on the road to progress were inevitable.
Tech giants called Trump’s administration a “good friend” for tax breaks and support for data-center construction. They also received government contracts. Now they are contacting Democratic strategists to find a deal.
Companies face threats of investigations. Tougher AI rules and data-center restrictions are also on the table, and CEOs are already being advised to hire lawyers.

| 17 |  🪙 Binance explains the $6.3B theft
A fake “recruiter” led to several interview rounds. In September, a test file replaced legitimate pyenv with a backdoored copy. Security tools missed the malware, described as a zero-day.
By 20 October, attackers controlled wallets through Binance’s internal AI tool. On 29 October, they reached a third employee’s computer. Hot-wallet transfers using MPC continued for almost 2 hours because no single private key could revoke the malicious EIP-7702 permissions.
Binance says about $2.85 billion was frozen or intercepted. 98% of affected tokens has been reimbursed, users will not bear losses, and the FBI attributes the attack to North Korean group TraderTraitor.

| 19 |  🤖 Claude Code Blocks Game Cloning
Anthropic added 2 sentences to the system prompt for Claude Code on Opus 5.5. The rule blocks recreating a specific existing game, even when it is named directly or presented as original.
The change reportedly reached servers around October 27 under the flag tengu_heron_brook. Users can still make original games, genre projects, or work based on their own designs and assets.
Anthropic’s Addy Osmani confirmed the prompt was changed, but not the exact wording. The stated goal is to stop Claude from reproducing other people’s games, which violates its usage rules. Similar changes elsewhere in Claude remain unknown.

| 20 |  🛰️ AT&T and AST Test Satellite Handover
On October 21 in Washington state, an active connection moved between terrestrial and satellite networks serving ordinary phones. AT&T and AST SpaceMobile called it the industry’s first successful handover of this kind.
AST’s BlueBird satellites already support voice calls and messaging on regular smartphones. Ericsson supplied AT&T’s radio and core systems, while Nokia provided satellite-side radio access and mobility software.
The aim is mobile coverage that extends to satellites without a new phone or manual setup. A beta service in real conditions is next, but commercial launch has no announced date.
