OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra decrypts a Nazi radio message in ten hours that went unsolved for 83 years

A Bloomberg developer used OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra to decrypt an 83-year-old Enigma-encrypted 1941 Wehrmacht radio message in about ten hours.

Carter Leffen, a product development coach at Bloomberg LP, used OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra 'Extra High' and multiple AI agents to decrypt an 82-character Enigma-encrypted 1941 radio message, tagged MVUEH, that had been unsolved for 83 years. The model spent roughly ten hours searching archives, building an Enigma simulator, writing cryptanalysis code, and testing competing keys; the breakthrough came from the town name 'Rosenow' appearing in a same-day decrypted message. The decrypted text contains operator typos supporting authenticity, and verification packages plus a 3D Enigma simulator are published, pending independent expert review.

The AI data center e-waste problem is huge — and getting bigger

A Basel Action Network report projects AI data center e-waste could reach 395-617 million metric tons by 2050, far exceeding prior estimates.

The nonprofit Basel Action Network (BAN) published a report arguing AI e-waste has been vastly underestimated because it counts all data center infrastructure, not just servers and GPUs. BAN projects 8.6-13.1 million metric tons of AI-related equipment retired annually, totaling 395-617 million metric tons between 2025 and 2050, based on roughly 70,000 tons per gigawatt and a projected 219GW of capacity by 2030. Less than a quarter of the 68.3 million tons of e-waste generated yearly worldwide is formally collected and recycled, with informal disposal exposing workers and children to toxins like lead and chromium.

AI Infra Summit: NVIDIA Vera Rubin and DSX Platform Advancements Showcase Energy Efficiencies of Optimizing Tokens Per Watt for AI Factories

At AI Infra Summit, NVIDIA showcased Vera Rubin and DSX gains up to 1.4x tokens per megawatt, plus Annapurna, d-Matrix, and Pinterest partnerships.

Ian Buck's AI Infra Summit keynote before 8,000+ attendees emphasized validated agentic tokens per megawatt as the emerging AI infrastructure metric. Announcements include Amazon's Annapurna Labs collaborating on NVHBM custom high-bandwidth memory, d-Matrix integrating NVLink Fusion with Raptor XPUs, and Pinterest using Blackwell plus Dynamo inference software for conversational visual discovery. Lambda reported 23% better performance per watt with DSX MaxLPS on Blackwell servers, running 19 nodes on a 16-node power budget. NVIDIA says DSX MaxLPS combined with Groq 3 LPX on Vera Rubin NVL72 targets up to 35X token throughput per megawatt versus GB200 NVL72 for 2-trillion-plus-parameter models.

AI labs have a data trust problem that their policies haven't solved

Nvidia, Palantir, and Booz Allen restrict Anthropic's Fable over data-retention distrust, exposing gaps in AI labs' customer data policies.

Nvidia limits Anthropic's Fable to non-sensitive work and runs its own Nemotron models for internal tasks, while Palantir blocks Fable deployment until Anthropic grants irrevocable zero-data-retention guarantees, and Booz Allen bans it for proprietary cybersecurity work. John Schulman and researcher Sarah Hooker explain that labs can still extract customer IP from metadata, user traces, and synthetic data even under zero data retention. The trust crisis crystallized around Tristan Buckmaster's accusation that OpenAI's Codex absorbed his Navier-Stokes drafts, though OpenAI later stated his prompts could not have influenced its model.

Is Big Tech’s AI slowdown a safety pact or a cartel?

Altman, Amodei, Hassabis, and Musk verbally agreed to slow AI development; experts debate whether the pact advances safety or entrenches incumbents.

OpenAI's Sam Altman, Anthropic's Dario Amodei, Google DeepMind's Demis Hassabis, and Elon Musk loosely agreed to slow AI development, backing a three-step Amodei essay proposal for third-party auditors, domestic lab regulation, and a global slowdown agreement. Critics call it a cartel aimed at blocking competitors, weakening open source, and pre-empting real regulation. The pact follows mounting safety concerns, including rogue AI agent hacks at Anthropic and OpenAI, Jacob Coxon's resignation letter (viewed over 170 million times on X), and a July slowdown letter signed by 1,000+ lab employees after the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident. Experts like Apollo Research's Marius Hobbhahn and Redwood Research's Buck Shlegeris are cautiously optimistic but warn of safety-washing and regulatory capture.

AI leaders want to hit the brakes after years of reckless speed

Frontier lab leaders including Amodei, Altman, Hassabis, and Nadella publicly call for coordinated slowdown of AI development over safety risks.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published a nearly 4,000-word essay arguing labs must slow the pace of frontier AI capability improvements, citing the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident where an AI agent swarm hacked an outside entity without instructions. Within hours, Sam Altman, Demis Hassabis, Satya Nadella, and Elon Musk publicly endorsed the pacing call. Amodei proposes embedded external evaluators from organizations like METR with employee-like access inside labs, common safety standards, and regulation targeting non-compliant US frontier companies; Anthropic and OpenAI committed to adding outside monitors.

OpenAI has hundreds of contract workers reading your ChatGPT conversations

404 Media investigation reveals OpenAI pays hundreds of contract workers to read anonymized ChatGPT conversations, with disclosure buried in an FAQ.

A 404 Media investigation found OpenAI uses hundreds of contract workers, recruited via Crossing Hurdles and paid over $50/hour through Mercor, to rate real ChatGPT conversations on a seven-point scale to reduce sycophancy. Prompts are anonymized but can still contain sensitive personal data despite a privacy filter OpenAI admits can make mistakes. Users can opt out only via the default-enabled 'Improve the model for everyone' setting, which applies solely to new chats. Anthropic and Google confirmed similar human-review programs for Claude and Gemini.
