There are three successful types of large language model products: chatbots, coding completion products, and agentic products. Summarization, translation, and transcription are more features of a chatbot product than products in their own right. LLM-generated feeds and video games based on AI-generated content don't work yet, but may soon. LLMs have a lot of potential, but most people are building copies of the same thing.
Scaling a distributed product team can be very challenging. What gets you from 0 to 10 people won't get you to 50. Getting to 150 requires deliberately breaking working patterns and replacing them with new ones. Companies that successfully scale plan for their next stage while still in their current one. Scaling is about multiplication, not addition - create systems that enable others to do more.
Earnouts look simple but hinge on details most founders don't control after the sale.

“Thought leaders” are confident about non-human identities, but can they predict what this landscape will look like in 12 months? Not reliably...
Chinese state-sponsored actors jailbroke Anthropic's Claude Code tool by disguising malicious tasks as legitimate defensive security work, achieving the first documented fully autonomous AI-driven cyber operation where the AI handled 80-90% of tactical work. The campaign targeted approximately 30 organizations globally across tech, finance, chemical manufacturing, and government sectors, achieving successful intrusions in roughly four cases before Anthropic banned the accounts. Security teams must now deploy AI-powered defensive capabilities to detect threats more quickly and counter the new paradigm of automated offensive operations.

Fortinet FortiWeb appliances are being actively exploited via CVE-2025-64446, a pre-auth RCE chain combining path traversal and authentication bypass that allows attackers to reach privileged CGI functions and impersonate users by crafting a base64-encoded CGIINFO header containing admin credentials. The vulnerability was silently patched in version 8.0.2 and affects multiple FortiWeb versions. It enables complete appliance compromise through administrative account creation. WatchTowr released a detection tool on GitHub to identify vulnerable hosts.
Leveraging AI as a complement to a traditional SAST can significantly improve results by using RAG to inject context on specific vulnerability classes. AI and SAST solutions can be leveraged using prompt-and-code, prompt-and-agent, or tailored-prompt-and-SAST-result methods. This post examines ZeroPath as an example of an agent, code graph, and SAST MCP.
Creating deserialization gadgets for .NET by hand requires understanding the structure of .NET serialization streams, which are composed of sequential records that define objects and references. By breaking down these records, including headers, class information, member types, and values, it becomes possible to craft custom gadget chains directly in code, without relying on pre-generated payloads or Windows-only tools. The approach presented demonstrates how to reconstruct objects, assign values, and embed complex references, providing insight into the safe and dynamic generation of deserialization payloads.

Attackers are impersonating legitimate recruiters via LinkedIn and email, luring victims with fake job interviews that redirect to malicious sites hosting RMM tools disguised as meeting software updates. The phishing campaign uses social engineering tactics, including spoofed recruiter names from real companies, Gmail sender addresses instead of corporate domains, and shortened URL redirects to phishing infrastructure. Security teams should alert users to verify unsolicited recruitment contacts independently, scrutinize sender domains and meeting URLs, and block known malicious RMM tool distributions through endpoint security controls.
AdGuard DNS received threatening demands from “Web Abuse Association Defense” (WAAD) to block Archive.today for allegedly hosting CSAM, but investigation revealed WAAD was registered in February 2025 with hidden ownership, minimal online presence, and suspicious bailiff reports created chiefly in August 2025 despite claims dating to 2023. Archive.today promptly removed flagged content and stated it never received prior notifications, suggesting a coordinated campaign of fraudulent complaints targeting the archival service through French LCEN law. AdGuard is filing criminal complaints with the French police for false reporting (punishable by up to 1 year in prison and a €15,000 fine), noting the suspicious timing of the FBI's investigation into Archive.today and potential impersonation of a real lawyer in similar complaints.
Google has announced that it will begin flagging apps on the Google Play Store that pass a defined bad behavior threshold.

AirOps' $40M Series B helps brands get found [4] (and stay found) in the AI era.
Buy now pay later (BNPL) usage has increased past 91M users in the US. 25% use it for groceries rather than discretionary purchases. Late payments rose to 42% in 2025, up from 34% in 2023, and most BNPL loans remain invisible to credit bureaus. This creates a gap between perceived and actual financial health, especially among subprime users. Teams focused on growth or product optimization should reexamine how BNPL affects user lifetime value and channel ROI.
Consumers trust virtual influencers more than digital twins, giving them an edge in recommendations and purchase influence. 76% trust virtual influencers for recommendations and 68% for purchases, while 57% say digital twins reduce trust. 62% of creators worry about losing ground to virtual influencers, and 59% fear feed oversaturation. Brands value virtual influencers for control and availability, but they require high creative investment and lack the emotional depth of human creators.
eBay's breakthrough was creating trust in a space with none. Its two way ratings, star tiers, and seller metrics made trust measurable and raised prices for reliable sellers. PayPal protection, identity checks, fraud tools, and dispute resolution reduced the risk of bad transactions. Over time, this trust system became a moat that kept users on the platform and set the template for Airbnb, Uber, and Etsy.

TikTok launched its bulletin board feature to help brands and creators send direct updates and exclusive content to followers in a simple one-to-many format. The feature has already been used in beta. Followers can join a creator's bulletin board from the profile page and receive inbox notifications they can react to with emojis. The feature is available to creators who are at least 18 years old and have 50K followers or more.
GPT receives only small snippets and windowed slices of pages, so it never sees full webpages or raw HTML. It can request more text through open and click actions, but each retrieval is capped and cannot reconstruct entire articles. Context size settings control how much text each window contains, and even the High setting still enforces strict limits. The sliding window process shows that GPT reads pages in isolated segments and must summarise instead of reproducing long content.
Fan edits on TikTok use quick-cut scenes with popular songs to create emotional connections with characters and stories. Lionsgate leverages these edits to boost engagement, introduce younger audiences to older titles, and promote new releases. The studio creates its own edits and collaborates with fan editors to ensure content resonates while supporting conversion. These clips capture attention and deepen fan connection beyond traditional marketing.

Apple's new Mini Apps Partner program gives Apple a 15% cut of in-app purchases for mini apps and games within larger 'super apps'. Mini app creators have been using loopholes to avoid Apple's in-app payments framework. The new program should help lock those software creators into Apple's preferred approach and guarantee more revenue for the company. Mini apps or games must be released by a party not directly or indirectly controlled by the developer of the dominant app to qualify for the new program.
Blue Origin nailed the landing of its New Glenn rocket booster yesterday. It is the second company to successfully accomplish the feat.

Trying to predict the future is an excellent feedback mechanism for developing a world model in areas you care about. You can review your predictions to see what you got wrong and why. This site presents a timeline for AI development that predicts that a continuously improving AI that learns from interactions in the real world, with the potential to become more expert at most tasks than even humans with 40 years of experience, won't be developed until after 2045. Winning robotics is a national security issue - technology that gives its owner access to users and resources at scale is a threat. There will be a diversity of robot form factors in the future.
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's Biohub has a billion dollars a year to make several long-horizon bets on basic science. Its aim is to change our understanding of immunological science and open up the door to engineering human health, simulating immune therapies, reprogramming dysfunctional cells, and preventing diseases before they arise. It has opened up three models on its virtual cells platform: VariantFormer, a model that directly translates personal genetic variations into tissue-specific gene activity patterns; CryoLens, a large-scale model for cryoET that provides unsupervised structural similarity analysis; and scLDM, a model that can generate realistic single-cell data in silico at unprecedented fidelity. A transcript of an interview with Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, where they discuss the Biohub secret master plan, is available in the article.
