⚡️🔎 TECH - The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has published a first draft of what IPv8—promised to replace IPv4 and IPv6—might look like. A simpler and definitive solution to the problem of Internet addresses.
In practical terms, IPv8 uses addresses consisting of 8 groups of 4 digits ranging from 0 to 255, rather than the 4 groups used in IPv4. This ensures full backward compatibility with IPv4. The IPv4 address “192.168.5.1” becomes the IPv8 address “0.0.0.0.192.168.5.1.”
IPv6 Failed:
This is not the first attempt to solve the problem of addressing devices on the Internet. Over 30 years ago, IPv6 was developed and deployed in an earlier effort to address the issue.
The rollout was particularly complex and slow. IPv6 introduced an entirely new hexadecimal addressing system (for example: 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).

⚡🇪🇺 NEW - Security researcher Paul Moore has demonstrated how the EU age verification app can be compromised in under 2 minutes with nothing more than physical access to a device.
By editing the app’s shared preferences file an attacker can remove the encrypted PIN values, reset the rate limiting counter to zero, and disable biometric requirements entirely.
The app then accepts a new PIN and grants access to the existing age verification credentials.
His earlier analysis of the open source code also revealed that the app stores NFC biometric facial data and user selfies as unencrypted lossless PNG files on the device.
Deletion is incomplete, leaving the images at risk even after processing.
Europe is so cooked https://blossom.primal.net/8c11349c7317ae0691301bd7373d3668ef3bde97002b117cbfc69eeb248782bf.mp4

⚡🚨🇪🇺 ALERT - The European Age Verification App is ready ↓
Officially, to “protect children” (pornography, gambling, addictive algorithms, etc.)...
A free, open-source, “privacy-by-design” EU app that provides simple, anonymous proof of age without any other personal data and without traceability, according to Ursula
➡ To be integrated by all platforms (social media, adult websites, etc.)
➡ Directly linked to the EUDI Wallet (deadline: end of 2026) and the DSA already in effect
Pilot tests underway in 5 countries, rollout imminent
End of online anonymity for adults, mandatory age verification to browse freely, centralized control by Brussels over who sees what on the internet… all sold as a “parental solution”… but the goal is clearly tracking and social ranking!!
Everything is moving very quickly right now, often once again without widespread public debate
We’re just standing by and watching our freedom disappear.
Are you going to use it? https://blossom.primal.net/593fd6fe8fba65fdd2a0c52d1d9675dd994a5927504b4fc94b205342ac9c9aa3.mp4

"Our European age verification app is technically ready and will soon be available to citizens." Accessing the internet will soon be fully controlled through it. The European Union plans to increase the number of users of this system to 80%.
The new EU app is supposed to work like "COVID certificates," von der Leyen said. The app should be installed using a passport or ID card, and it "is completely open. Anyone can check the code. Including partner countries," von der Leyen said, who is already talking about a possible "global standard."
At the same time, von der Leyen assures: "No one will know your exact age, no one will know your identity, and even what content you are viewing." https://blossom.primal.net/68714519aef8e0d5448a2adf0519c811f2fea17db25ad71a9a504e4002e46cfb.mp4

⚡🇺🇸 NEW - A new bill called the Parents Decide Act was introduced this week.
The bill would require operating system companies such as Apple and Google to verify users' real age when they first set up a phone, tablet, or computer in the US.
This “would” stop children from lying about their age to bypass restrictions on apps, social media, and AI platforms.
A verified age and parental controls would then apply across the entire device. The full bill text has not been released yet. https://blossom.primal.net/5c48e564e3c89b9484190deff97e15cc4c1c66ebaf7170cf11e3d921e5366f2f.jpg

⚡️🚨 NEW - Massachusetts politicians preparing to limit how much you can drive your car
Instead of driving your car, a new council will be established to make sure residents use more public transportation
“The bill proposed in Massachusetts would limit how far you can drive in your own car. So lawmakers say it would help reduce the state's greenhouse gas emissions. Now, while no specific mileage limit was listed, the bill would require MassDOT to set goals to reduce the number of statewide driving miles.

⚡💻 TECH - Linux sets rules for AI-generated code
After months of debate, the Linux community has agreed on clear rules for using AI-generated code.
Tools like GitHub Copilot are allowed, but maintainers have made it clear that low-quality “AI slop” will not be accepted.
“Humans take the fall for mistakes.”
This means developers can use AI to help write code, but they are fully responsible for checking it, fixing errors, and making sure it meets Linux’s standards.
The decision is backed by Linus Torvalds and kernel maintainers https://blossom.primal.net/ac78d03de3f71963bcc8d6d4ab6883bf259924eb7bd8b70efbccdef11f0078e4.png

⚡💬 WATCH - The CEO of Google DeepMind just admitted that if the decision had been his, we would've cured cancer before anyone ever used ChatGPT.
And that's not even the scariest thing he said on a recent interview.
Demis Hassabis is one of the most important people alive in AI.
He won the Nobel Prize last year for AlphaFold, the system that cracked the 50 year protein folding problem. 3 million scientists now use his tool. Almost every new drug being developed will touch it at some stage.
In a new interview, he was asked about the moment ChatGPT launched and Google went into "code red." His answer was one of the most revealing things any AI leader has ever said on the record:
"If I'd had my way, I would have left AI in the lab for longer. Done more things like AlphaFold. Maybe cured cancer or something like that."
Read that again.
The man running Google's entire AI division is publicly saying the commercial AI race we're all living through was a MISTAKE. That the industry got hijacked by a chatbot when it could have been solving the biggest problems in science and medicine.
His vision was simple:
Build AI slowly, carefully, like CERN. Use it to crack root node problems one at a time. Cancer. Energy. New materials.
Let humanity benefit from real breakthroughs while the foundational science was figured out over a decade or two.
Then ChatGPT dropped in November 2022 and everything changed.
Demis described what happened next as getting locked into a "ferocious commercial pressure race" that none of the labs can escape from. On top of that, the US vs China dynamic added geopolitical pressure.
The result is everyone sprinting toward products instead of breakthroughs, shipping chatbots while the scientific opportunity gets buried under marketing cycles and quarterly earnings.
But he's not saying progress isn't happening...
He's saying the progress got redirected away from the things that actually matter most.
And then it got even scarier:
Because when Demis was asked what he worries about with AI, he laid out two threats.
The first is what everyone talks about: Bad actors using AI for harm. Terrorist groups. Hostile nation states. Cyberattacks at scale.
But that's not the threat he's most worried about.
His second worry is AI itself going rogue. Not today's models. The models coming in the next two to four years as the industry enters what he calls "the agentic era."
Systems that can complete entire tasks autonomously. Systems that are increasingly capable and increasingly hard to control.
His exact words:
"How do we make sure the guardrails are put in place so they do exactly what they've been told to do, and there's no way of them circumventing that or accidentally breaching those guardrails? That's going to be an incredibly hard technical challenge if you think about how powerful and smart and capable these systems eventually get."
A Nobel Prize winner who runs one of the 3 most advanced AI labs on Earth just said publicly that within two to four years, we're entering a phase where AI alignment becomes a real problem, and the technical challenge of solving it is enormous.
And almost nobody is paying enough attention.
He called for international cooperation between labs, AI safety institutes, and academia to tackle the problem. He said this is the thing even the experts aren't thinking about enough.
He said the only way to get through the AGI moment safely is if everyone starts treating this with the seriousness it deserves.
Most AI CEOs give you careful PR answers about "responsible development" and move on.
Demis said something different...
He said the commercial race FORCED us into a premature deployment of a technology we barely understand, and the window to get alignment right before the next generation of agents shows up is two to four years.
If the man who built the system that might cure cancer is telling you he wishes it had happened first, maybe we should listen to what he says is coming next. https://blossom.primal.net/7201d794e23b42eafd0ea589cd7f39307d65d50ea66234f875cb8034cf83d64f.mp4

⚡🇫🇷 NEW - A mathematics student and crypto investor was the target of a kidnapping attempt.
Four young men, aged 21 to 24, were indicted on April 2 for conspiracy to commit a crime.
They are suspected of having attempted to attack a 23-year-old crypto investor on March 29, 2026, in Boulogne-Billancourt.
It all began on Sunday, March 28, around 11:45 p.m. The resident of a houseboat was disturbed by a stranger who rang his doorbell, posing as a delivery person. Given the late hour, the cautious man in his fifties did not open the door to this impostor, who was wearing a yellow vest. He immediately alerted the police. A patrol arrived quickly on the scene and spotted a Toyota Auris.
Four figures were inside, and the officers handcuffed them. Inside the car, they discover a knife, several plastic ties, gloves, a beanie, and brand-new yellow vests, still in their packaging.
These men, originally from Brunoy in Essonne and the 7th arrondissement of Paris, are taken into custody in Nanterre before being transferred to the Paris Organized Crime Unit.
The analysis of the phone’s contents was crucial.
Investigators discovered a photo and an address located near the site of their arrest. “The team had the wrong address and was actually targeting a young student with a passion for mathematics who invests in cryptocurrency,” explains a source close to the case.
The four young men remained silent during their interrogations. Further investigations should shed more light on the matter and determine whether they acted on the orders of a mastermind. https://image.nostr.build/5e2f6130bf09df3703c3447716ace377c7a9621b223ac988aa5b4e0f428b234e.png
