Es ist wahrscheinlich wenig überraschend, aber doch interessant, dass seit der Verfügbarkeit von GLP-1 Medikamenten wie Mounjaro die Adipositas-Rate in den USA statistisch relevant zu sinken begonnen hat.
Using Claude Mythos Preview, researchers at Anthropic have discovered improved ways to attack cryptographic algorithms (the mathematical methods used to keep online data private). The first attack significantly weakens HAWK, a digital signature scheme that was built for a post-quantum world. The second identifies a new way to attack round-reduced AES, the most widely used symmetric cipher. These are substantial research advances, but they do not currently affect any production systems. This post describes both findings in more detail and discusses the implications for cryptography in an age of powerful AI models.
