Surprised? I'm not. I have published several articles on LN ⚡ A Trojan horse. This is just the beginning.

YOU WILL BE DIGITIZED. SCIENCE FICTION? The singularity is the hypothetical point where an #AI exponentially improves itself, surpassing human intelligence and transforming civilization irreversibly and unpredictably. AI would reproduce to evolve. Different AI entities could likely be created independently. Ray Kurzweil and other "singularity theorists" believe that the singularity will allow the human mind to be transferred to a digital medium or connected online to the digital cloud. If this is possible, the line between human and machine disappears. You will coexist in a kind of augmented reality with several autonomous AIs. The great scientific question is: Would you be you in the computer, or just a perfect digital copy that believes it is you while your original consciousness fades away?

BROWSERS: INTEGRATED AI VS. AGENTIC AI The web landscape in 2026 is defined by two distinct approaches to artificial intelligence: browsers with integrated AI, or Agentic AI browsers. Browsers with integrated AI, such as Brave with its Leo assistant, Edge with Copilot, or Chrome with Gemini, act as sophisticated co-pilots. Their role is primarily analytical and passive: they summarize long articles, explain complex code, or suggest replies based on the page you are currently viewing. They enhance your reading and comprehension without taking control of the interface. In contrast, Agentic AI browsers (like Perplexity Comet or OpenAI’s Atlas) represent a paradigm shift toward execution. These tools don't just "talk" about the web; they operate it. They can autonomously navigate multiple tabs, fill out complex forms, and execute multi-step tasks—such as booking a complete travel itinerary—by interacting directly with the website's underlying code. Best Practices for the AI Era: -Do not use browsers with agentic AI regularly; only use them for specific purposes. They are riskier, both because they are prone to errors in their agency and because they are more vulnerable to privacy issues. They are also unsafe due to prompt injection attacks. -Manual Confirmation: Always require a final human "click" before an agent processes a payment or submits sensitive data. -Context Awareness: Disable AI agents when handling banking, healthcare, or confidential corporate credentials. -Data Minimization: Use privacy-focused tools like Brave's Leo for daily tasks, as they often process data with higher anonymity than full agentic models.

THE RISK OF BROWSER EXTENSIONS Browser extensions are powerful tools, but they often function as a "backdoor" to your digital life. When you click "Add to Browser," you frequently grant permission to "read and change all your data on the websites you visit." This technically allows them to capture passwords, credit card numbers, and private messages in real-time. The most treacherous risk is the "Zombie Extension": a legitimate tool sold by its original creator to data brokers or malicious actors who then push updates designed to inject ads or track your every move. Best Practices: -Minimalism: Delete anything you don’t use daily. -Permission Check: If a simple calculator asks for your browsing history, deny it. -Isolation: Use a "clean" browser for banking and a separate one for extensions.

Shocking news 💥 Photos leaked from the U.S. Department of Justice provide strong clues about the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.

After years of pseudo-anonymity and 24/7 operation, Bitcoin now has physical branches. You can now go and wait in line Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and make an appointment with an official agent to discuss your decentralized investments!

The State is basically a group of people living off other people's money who, to disguise the looting, offer you 'free' services with all the efficiency of a tax office on a Monday morning. It is the only organization that expands its own failures by demanding an even bigger budget to fix them.

Al-Kindi: The Father of Cryptanalysis ᴬⁿᵃˡʸᶻᵉ ʰⁱˢᵗᵒʳʸ ᵗᵒ ᵘⁿᵈᵉʳˢᵗᵃⁿᵈ ᵗʰᵉ ᵖʳᵉˢᵉⁿᵗ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵃⁿᵗⁱᶜⁱᵖᵃᵗᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᶠᵘᵗᵘʳᵉ Imagine believing your secrets are safe just by swapping one letter for another. For centuries, kings and generals lived in that sweet ignorance until the father of cryptanalysis decided that randomness doesn't exist, only undetected patterns. Al-Kindi wasn't just a mathematician; he was the "Philosopher of the Arabs." In the 9th century, from the House of Wisdom, he understood that language has a statistical fingerprint. He was history's first great hacker, without needing a single line of code. Before him, cryptography was child's play. The Caesar Cipher seemed like magic. Al-Kindi shattered that illusion with a devastating observation: in any language, some letters work harder than others. Information freedom was beginning to emerge. His "Manuscript on Deciphering Cryptographic Messages" is basically the genesis of information security. He introduced frequency analysis: if you count how often a symbol appears, the language eventually confesses the truth. This was the first major blow to "security through obscurity." Al-Kindi proved that if a system depends on the method being secret rather than mathematical complexity, that system is already dead. A lesson many today still fail to process. The irony? His discovery wasn't just for spying, but to force evolution. Because the father of cryptanalysis broke simple codes, humanity had to invent polyalphabetic ciphers. Privacy has always been an arms race. Think of it in modern terms: Al-Kindi applied data science and statistics when the rest of the world still thought hidden messages were witchcraft. He was the precursor to the logic that today sustains everything from the Monero protocol to end-to-end encryption. What Al-Kindi really taught us is that privacy is a process, not a static state. The moment a surveillance algorithm detects your pattern, your privacy vanishes. He was the first to understand that the pattern is the weak point.
