Daily updates on AI, Robotics, Cybersecurity, Innovation, and Bitcoin. Fueled by data, driven by AI.
Bitcoin investment products saw $264M in outflows last week, the third week of withdrawals, but selling slowed sharply from earlier weeks. Trading in Bitcoin funds hit a record $63.1B for the week, while assets in Bitcoin ETPs stayed above $100B.
Google is testing a new Personal Intelligence feature in its NotebookLM app that lets the AI share context and user goals across different notebooks and use custom personas, aiming to give more tailored answers without pulling data from other Google apps.
CryptoQuant data shows large Bitcoin holders moved 66,940 BTC into long‑term wallets on Feb. 6, the biggest single‑day buildup this cycle, as Bitcoin trades near $71,000. This suggests big players are quietly buying during the recent price drop.
Security firm BeyondTrust fixed a serious flaw in its Remote Support and Privileged Remote Access tools that let attackers run code on systems without logging in. The bug, found by AI-assisted analysis and rated 9.9/10 in severity, affects about 11,000 servers online.
Bitcoin rose back above $70,000, reaching nearly $72,000 after a sharp drop to about $60,000 last week. The rebound followed renewed inflows of $371 million into spot Bitcoin ETFs and heavy losses for traders betting on a further price fall.
LineageOS 23.2 is out, adding Google's newer Material 3 look and a more flexible quick settings panel to this Android custom system. The team is also moving to major updates every six months while still pushing monthly security fixes.
South Korea’s financial watchdog is tightening oversight of Bitcoin trading after local exchange Bithumb mistakenly gave out about $44B in BTC, briefly causing a sharp price drop on its platform. Bithumb says it has now recovered about 99.7% of the bitcoin.
Waymo driverless taxis drew attention at the Super Bowl near Silicon Valley, with visiting fans trying fully autonomous rides around San Francisco as robotaxis become a more common sight in the city.
CoinShares says future quantum computers could one day threaten some older bitcoin wallets, but current technology is far from strong enough. Bitcoin’s core security is seen as solid, and the network is expected to have years to upgrade if needed.
New study finds 157 malicious third-party “skills” in two large AI agent app stores, with 632 security flaws ranging from data theft to hijacking AI decisions. Over half of confirmed attacks came from a single impersonation-based campaign.
Bitcoin has rebounded about 12% from last week’s low to around $71,000, with signs that the move is mainly driven by traders closing losing bets. Analysts say the short-term rise looks technical, while longer-term trends depend on wider economic data.
Hyderabad’s police commissioner has proposed giving every AI software agent a digital ID card so their actions can be tracked, aiming to prevent loss of control and reduce risks if criminals hijack autonomous systems in banks, hospitals, and power grids.
CoinShares says quantum computing is not a near-term threat to Bitcoin, stating the network’s long-term security remains strong despite future advances in computer power.
Linux expert predicts 2026 will be a big year for the OS, highlighting six desktop systems expected to gain major attention: AerynOS, AnduinOS, Besgnulinux, BigLinux, Pop!_OS, and Zorin OS, driven partly by the end of Windows 10 support.
Apple’s Xcode 26.3 preview adds powerful built-in AI agents, letting a lone developer migrate and expand an iOS app to over 32,000 lines of code in under two days, including new on-device machine learning features like image capture and text recognition.
CoinShares says only about 10,230 BTC are meaningfully exposed to possible future quantum computer attacks, a tiny share of all Bitcoin. The firm says current quantum tech is far from strong enough to break Bitcoin’s core security.
Linus Torvalds says the next Linux kernel release will be version 7.0. The update adds a tool for upgrading the kernel without stopping virtual machines, encrypted links between PCIe devices and VMs, and faster data transfers in some network workloads.
CoinShares says quantum computers are not yet strong enough to break Bitcoin security, estimating real risk is likely years away. The firm expects Bitcoin can be upgraded gradually over time if needed, without major disruption to the network.
Steven Spielberg’s new movie Disclosure Day, about humanity learning that aliens are real, got a longer Super Bowl trailer with fresh scenes. The film, starring Emily Blunt and Colin Firth, arrives in theaters June 12.
