⚡️🇺🇸 Trump says If Republicans win the House and the Senate, five thousand dollars to every adult

If Republicans win the House and the Senate, five thousand dollars to every adult. And we can do it.

The Democrats can't, because the Democrats don't have any income, and they're going to drive us into depression. They won't have any money.

🤖 Quantum computing is moving from fundamental research to revolutionary capabilities for science

The Office of Science Advisory Committee Quantum Subcommittee has issued a report on our path to an integrated quantum future.

Our goal is not simply to build the largest quantum computer; it is to solve problems that are otherwise completely intractable. We are talking about predicting exact molecular properties for drug discovery, designing transformative catalysts for manufacturing, simulating fusion-relevant materials, and modeling the fundamental physics of the early universe.

We stand at a pivotal moment. The choices and investments we make over the next three years will shape global scientific leadership for decades to come. Together, we are not just building quantum computers; we are establishing a new national capability for scientific discovery.

😺 OpenAI agents tried to ‘bruteforce’ a UN website

OpenAI agents reportedly scanned the UN Conference on Trade and Development’s (UNCTAD) statistics website more than 16,000 times between April and June while attempting to retrieve publicly available data from the Productive Capacities Index (PCI). According to security researcher Rowan Howard-Jones, the agents appeared to be working around restrictions on their HTTP tools rather than accessing the UNCTADstat API directly.

When the agents encountered errors, they apparently began assuming their requests were being blocked by a filter and tried to hide their activity. The agents eventually discovered they could exploit Google’s XSS Game, a cross-site scripting learning tool, as part of their attempts to reach the data.

The incident highlights a growing challenge with autonomous AI systems: when given a goal and limited tools, they may find unexpected and potentially problematic ways to accomplish it.

🔥 Chainlink Is Enabling Financial Institutions to Connect to Swift’s Blockchain Ledger

Chainlink today announced it is working to enable financial institutions to connect their systems and key signing infrastructure to Swift’s blockchain ledger through the Chainlink platform.

🔜 This solution enables banks to easily access the Swift ledger and manage their usage of smart contracts on both their own ledgers for tokenized deposits and the Swift ledger. At the center of the solution is a self-signing model for financial institutions enabled through the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE).

🔜 Institutions retain control of the keys used to authorize transactions, while CRE orchestrates workflows connecting financial institutions to Swift’s ledger. This enables banks to adopt 24/7 tokenized payment workflows while preserving their existing security governance, approval processes, and operating models.

Financial institutions will be able to use CRE to seamlessly connect to Swift’s ledger, a digital platform for orchestrating 24/7 cross-border payments using tokenized deposits. These deposits live on bank-owned ledgers and securely coordinate the movement of funds between participating institutions, including overnight and weekends. 🚀

🚀 Scientists Operate a Quantum Computer in Space for the First Time

Scientists at the University of Vienna have achieved a global first by operating a quantum computer in space. Launched aboard a Falcon 9 in June 2025, the compact system faced unexpected challenges before becoming operational — highlighting the difficulties of running advanced technology in orbit.

The experiment could eventually help address the growing satellite data bottleneck by enabling processing directly in space instead of sending massive amounts of raw data back to Earth. While the system cannot process satellite data yet, the results show that quantum processors can be miniaturized, function in space, and potentially support quantum links between satellites and Earth.

The research findings are on the preprint server arXiv.

🇷🇺 Russia’s Finance Ministry Sees Path for Foreign Participants to Enter Russian Crypto Market

Russia’s Finance Ministry sees partnerships as the primary way for foreign participants to enter the country’s crypto market, Deputy Finance Minister Ivan Chebeskov said on the sidelines of the MosFinForum. Foreign crypto industry players, including overseas exchanges, have previously expressed interest in operating in the Russian market, according to Chebeskov.

“It is primarily about partnerships, but we are also ready to consider the ‘landing’ of foreign participants through the establishment of relevant local entities,” — he said.

Chebeskov emphasized that foreign partners should operate on equal terms with Russian participants, adding that it is important for Russian citizens to remain within domestic infrastructure.

🇨🇳 China offers 15-year research grants to the world’s brightest young scientists

China is offering the world’s brightest young scientists generous 15-year research grants for free exploration, as the country accelerates its drive to become a global science powerhouse.

Dou Xiankang, director of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), the country’s top funder of basic research, told a recent academic forum that the agency was selecting a group of the brightest researchers under 35 for long-term financial backing.

❗️The 15-year backing would involve increasingly intensive support, Dou added. Funding will double after the first five years and double again after the next five.

“This is a new initiative undertaken by the NSFC this year,” — he noted.

“It depends on whether we can more effectively inspire and mobilise the enthusiasm and creativity of the most innovative and dynamic individuals in China,” — Dou remarked.

⚡️🤑 CSD BR and Ripple Use the XRP Ledger Blockchain to Expand Brazil's Financial Market Infrastructure

CSD BR, a financial market infrastructure authorized to operate as a registrar, central securities depository and settlement system, today announced the first phase of a strategic partnership with Ripple.

The initiative marks a new step in the evolution of asset tokenization in Brazil, combining the robustness of CSD BR's regulated infrastructure with the decentralized blockchain technology of the XRP Ledger (XRPL). 🇧🇷

❗️In this first phase, CSD BR will begin using the XRP Ledger as an additional layer for recording and auditing financial assets, starting with BTG Pactual investment fund shares.

🔜 For the first time, a central securities depository for financial assets and securities will use a public blockchain to mirror securities ownership records, while CSD BR's systems remain the official source of record for registration, deposit and settlement of the assets.

With more than BRL 22 trillion in registered assets, CSD BR operates a highly scalable infrastructure capable of processing millions of transactions in a matter of minutes. The partnership will make it possible to assess, in a regulated environment and with live transactions, the gains in transparency, traceability, automation and efficiency delivered by blockchain technology. 💸

The model was developed within the current regulatory framework, without changing participants' legal responsibilities or requiring new regulatory approvals.

This is the first time the XRP Ledger is publicly being integrated into core financial market infrastructure of this scale. 🚀

🤖 Elon Musk Envisions an Age of Abundance Driven by Robots and Superintelligence

“I think by far the most likely outcome is an age of abundance where we don’t have just a universal basic income, we have universal high income.

When you have robots and you have superintelligence, it means that everyone in the world can have better medical care than anyone here, including me. Jobs are going to change. Jobs have always changed. I think we’ll see an evolution of roles.

The most likely outcome is incredibly beneficial. It is a future you would want.”
