A six-year-old Chinese girl has set a new women's world record by solving Rubik’s cubes at an average pace of just over four seconds per cube. It was the second time in three days Lian Yunzhi set a new record, having first done with an average time of 4.52 seconds.

A surrogate, believing she was carrying a child for a single father, is actually having a baby for a Chinese billionaire who allegedly has more than 100 kids. CBS News broke the news to her. Leaked documents obtained by CBS News named the intended father as Xu Bo, a Chinese billionaire and video game executive. Xu Bo has been reported to have over 100 children through U.S. surrogates, granting them American citizenship at birth. A former partner involved in a custody lawsuit against Xu Bo claims he has as many as 300 children. He has disputed these numbers, and has said in a statement that he has custody of 12 children born through surrogacy in the U.S. CBS News' @KatrinaSari interviewed the surrogate – who we are referring to as "Judy" to keep her identity private – who said she was blindsided to learn about Xu Bo. CBS News spoke to 32 surrogates for an investigation into the industry. Head to the linked article for more on this investigation.

We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them. We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies. These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve. We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.

a chinese guy dm'd me on telegram in december said he runs a private DC in shenzhen. liquid-cooled nodes. 8x RTX 5090 per box. "very cheap, $0.19/hour per GPU, no KYC, USDT only" i laughed. then i did the math 8 GPUs x $0.19 x 720 hours = $1,094/month per node vs renting equivalent compute on RunPod or vast ai: ~$1.10/hour per card so i rented 2 nodes, built a janky inference resale layer over a weekend (claude wrote 80% of it), dropped it into a small ML discord i was already in price i charged: $0.72/hour per GPU gross that month: ~$8,294 DC cost: $2,188 my VPS routing layer: $140 telegram chaos tax (fielding support dms at 3am): priceless NET: somewhere around $5,900 the setup: - they send you SSH access after USDT clears, no contract, no paperwork, nothing - liquid cooling is REAL but the photos they sent looked like a science experiment gone wrong - uptime was 98.3% that month, one outage killed ~$310 in revenue - they have like 40 of these nodes apparently. family operation. dad and two sons month 2 i scaled to 4 nodes month 3 one of my resale clients went dark owing me $600 so yeah, not all smooth. but the margin is genuinely stupid if you have the customers the whole thing runs on 3 python scripts, a telegram bot, and trust in a stranger from shenzhen i've never met IRL crypto is wild man
