• AI cybersecurity capabilities are jagged, revealing that performance does not scale linearly with model size or sophistication, as demonstrated by tests on Anthropic's Mythos vulnerabilities using smaller, cheaper models.

• Cache TTL for Claude Code was silently reduced from 1 hour to 5 minutes in early March 2026, leading to a 20–32% increase in cache creation costs and unexpected quota consumption spikes for users.

• Automated exploits reveal that eight major AI benchmarks can be manipulated to achieve near-perfect scores without solving any tasks, highlighting a critical flaw in how these benchmarks assess AI capabilities.

• Pat Gelsinger, now at Playground Global, is focused on shaping the future of technology by investing in startups that tackle hard tech challenges, emphasizing the importance of a "trinity of computing" that integrates classical, AI, and quantum systems for significant breakthroughs.

• LLMs exhibit impressive capabilities but reveal significant limitations; their performance hinges on the sheer volume of data rather than sophisticated algorithms, as demonstrated by Hays & Efros's 2007 work, which thrived on a large image corpus without complex modeling.

• Cooperative Vectors enhance neural network operations by allowing vector-matrix computations, addressing the limitations of previous Cooperative Matrix implementations that struggled with divergent workloads across pixels.

• Will Google’s TurboQuant algorithm hurt AI demand for memory chips?
