Grand Theft Auto VI is already set up to be the cultural release of 2026; whether it becomes the first truly “crypto native” blockbuster game is still mostly a Rorschach test for the internet’s hopes and delusions. Rockstar Games has…
Iran's internet restoration may ease regional tensions, impacting diplomatic relations and human rights discourse while affecting market dynamics.

The tech giant says it's aware that most people shop across multiple devices, many retailers, and over the course of many days, which is why it's launching Universal Cart.

Most people entering a prediction market are working with incomplete information. They see a question, a set of outcomes, and current odds shaped by whoever placed money before them. That is not analysis, that is crowd sentiment dressed up as a signal. Poly Truth is built around a different premise: before you commit to a position, you should know what the data actually says. The project describes itself as a prediction market intelligence tool, one that automates the research process and delivers probability-backed insights on active events across sports, politics, crypto, and beyond.

Manually tracking all of it before an event closes is not realistic for most participants. Poly Truth automates that

Anthropic announced its latest AI model, Claude Mythos, this month but said it would not be released publicly, because it turns computers into crime scenes. The company claimed that it could find previously unknown “zero-day” flaws, exploit them and, in principle, link these weaknesses in order to take over major operating systems and web browsers. Mythos did so autonomously, writing code and obtaining privileges. The implications are significant. It’s like a burglar being able to target any building, get inside, unlock every door and empty every safe.
The Silicon Valley company has so far named 40 organisations as partners under Project Glasswing to help mount a defence – asking them to “patch” vulnerabilities before hackers get a chance to exploit them. All are American, sitting at the heart of the US-led digital system. Anthropic shared Mythos with
