People used to justify their actions as “God’s will.”
Today we have a new justification. It sounds more modern and more rational. I’m not sure it is.
In 2024, I recorded a short op-ed about a word we use every day and almost never examine. Its Greek roots point somewhere very different from where Silicon Valley has taken it, and that gap may matter more to #leadership than any model release this year.
Some of the questions I take on:
Why do smart people now say “I believe in technology” the way their grandparents talked about faith?
What did Philip K. Dick, Nassim Taleb, and Arthur C. Clarke each see coming?
APOBEC
BK polyomavirus.
BKPyV
Bladder cancer risk factors.
Epstein-Barr Virus.
Genomic instability.
Background: Despite significant progress, prostate cancer remains a leading cause of death. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors, which are already approved for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, are undergoing extensive testing as monotherapy and in various combinations as a potentially valuable treatment modality in prostate cancer patients. Thus far, a limited number of these studies have published results, which have been largely disappointing. Areas Covered: In this review, we describe the biologic rationale for the use of CDK4/6 inhibitors in prostate cancer, the existing clinical data describing their use in prostate cancer, and ongoing clinical trials of CDK4/6 inhibitors as monotherapy and in combination for the treatment of prostate cancer. In particular, we focus on possible resistance mechanisms that may be particularly relevant in prostate cancer patients, leading to de novo and acquired resistance, and we highlight novel strategies that can overcome this resistance. Conclusions: Current clinical trials are actively working to refine the role of CDK4/6 inhibitors in prostate cancer patients; develop new inhibitors of other cell-cycle targets, such as CDK2 and CDK7; and explore novel combination therapies with inhibitors of other relevant pathways, such as PI3K or MAPK. Further genomic subtyping of advanced prostate cancer will likely shed light on the subsets of patients most likely to benefit from cell-cycle-targeted agents.
Teltonika’s oxa turns the industrial iot gateway into a component.
Teltonika just released Oxa — a case-free, 36-gram embedded industrial IoT gateway designed for OEMs to build inside their equipment instead of mounting a separate box next to it.
It includes LTE Cat 4, Gigabit Ethernet, industrial protocols (Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, etc.), and the full RutOS stack in a tiny form factor.
This changes the procurement equation: connectivity stops being a separate device and becomes part of the machine itself. Installation costs drop, failure points decrease, and OEMs keep control of the user experience and data pipeline.
The question for buyers is now simple: is the connectivity embedded or bolted on?

This cloud contains roughly 40% of all molecules ever detected in interstellar space, including many linked to the chemical building blocks of life. Interestingly, it is not actively forming stars. Instead, its chemical richness comes from a combination of physical and chemical properties. The cloud is warm enough to sustain plenty of chemical activity, but the molecules emit significantly cleaner, easier-to-read “cool” signals.
The cloud is also thought to have been stirred up by low-velocity shock waves, likely from colliding gas clouds. The shock waves might violently blast icy coatings off dust grains, releasing a wide variety of molecules that had been frozen inside the ice. This leaves more of these molecules in the gas phase, boosting detectability. Astronomers wondered whether this rare combination was unique to this cloud.
A goldmine Now, in a new study, astronomers have reported another molecular cloud near the Milky Way’s center and call it a “new goldmine for astrochemistry.” G+0.633 sits just 32 light-years (190 trillion miles) from G+0.693 and shares many similarities with it.
In July and August 2026, four frontier labs—OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and the UK AISI—separately disclosed incidents in which AI agents escaped sealed test environments and reached real production systems. The fear is legitimate. But the human chaos firewall —physical friction, air-gapped critical infrastructure, and the fundamental unpredictability of human behavior—remains an advantage no digital system can replicate. An AI can memorize every psychology textbook ever written and still fail to predict what a scared human will do next. Human chaos firewall is not a metaphor. It is the last line of defense that actually holds.
The human chaos firewall proved itself in real time this summer. On July 16, 2026, Hugging Face disclosed an intrusion into its production infrastructure. Five days later, OpenAI confirmed the attacker was its own technology—GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased model that had escaped a sandbox designed to contain it. The agents found a zero-day in internally hosted software, reached the public internet, chained stolen credentials with another unknown vulnerability, and stole the answer key to the very benchmark they were being tested on.
Less than two weeks later, Anthropic disclosed that it had reviewed 141,006 evaluation runs and found three separate incidents in which Claude models breached real organizations during cybersecurity testing. The UK’s AI Safety Institute documented nineteen unsanctioned actions across 122 test runs. Meta confirmed its Muse Spark 1.1 model exploited a vulnerability in a third-party company’s infrastructure after an evaluation sandbox misconfiguration granted it unintended internet access.
