Federal Reserve Chairman Waller stated at a press conference that the unemployment rate in the United States is lower than a year ago, the number of jobs has grown significantly faster than last year, and the four-week moving average of unemployment claims remains at its lowest level in decades. He believes that the current situation is quite good regarding the employment goal of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate.

Bitcoin security expert Jameson Lopp stated that cyber attacks are growing along an "exponential" path. He pointed out that the number of vulnerabilities discovered in the past two and a half months has increased exponentially, with attackers being the first to adopt unreviewed AI models, and security researchers "failing to get adequate rest."Lopp explained that Bitcoin Core has adjusted its security policies because AI can discover vulnerabilities through simple prompts; security measures need to shift from annual audits to real-time defenses and be embedded in the development process. He also analyzed a PHP remote code execution vulnerability, believing the actual impact to be less than expected.Additionally, Lopp mentioned that Google's estimate of 500,000 quantum bits involves the difference between physical quantum bits and logical quantum bits; if the quantum threat time window is less than ten years, the industry will be at a disadvantage. Currently, there are only a few hundred available quantum bits, and quantum upgrades will take years due to Taproot, consensus rules, and untested cryptography. About 30% of addresses have exposed public keys, and attackers will prioritize targeting these addresses; unpatchable hardware issues and "wrench attacks" have exceeded 700 cases.

Canadian Prime Minister Carney stated that the trade negotiations between Canada and the United States have recently accelerated slightly, mainly due to a softening of the U.S. position. There are still differences between the two sides regarding the reduction of tariffs on steel, aluminum, automobiles, and medium and heavy trucks.White House economic advisor Hassett said that the two sides are very close to reaching an agreement, but the U.S. side believes that Canada's concessions are insufficient, and the prospects for negotiations remain unclear.

OpenAI is intensifying its efforts to secure funding commitments from investors, hoping to complete the financing before its competitor Anthropic is expected to go public in mid-November. This round of financing could value OpenAI at over $1.4 trillion.SoftBank Group, MGX, and other existing investors are in negotiations to participate in this round of approximately $30 billion financing.

Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe stated that the price fluctuation range of Bitcoin is gradually narrowing, and volatility is decreasing, indicating that a significant market change may be coming. However, before that, there may be a "false move." He pointed out that this "false move" could bring the Bitcoin price down to below $80,000, into the "blue box" area marked on his chart.This area has been touched once before, and if it is retested, he would not be surprised and believes it would be an ideal entry point. Regarding the conditions for an upward movement, he stated that if Bitcoin breaks through the key resistance level of $82,000, the upward momentum will begin to accelerate and is likely to move towards $90,000.

According to Xinhua News Agency, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and President Xi Jinping emphasized during his inspection in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia on the 16th that it is necessary to coordinate high-quality development and high-level protection, and to unswervingly follow the path of ecological priority and green development. Xi Jinping learned about the "East Data West Calculation" hub node and the green computing power industry in the Chahar High-tech Zone, and required that completed projects operate efficiently and subsequent construction be completed on schedule.He stated that the computing power network is one of the "six networks" planned and constructed by the country, and the computing power industry is in a stage of accelerated development, emphasizing the importance of "computing power and electricity coordination" and "computing power and water coordination." Xi Jinping also inspected the Huangqi Sea Nature Reserve and required the comprehensive implementation of the Wetland Protection Law.

Google DeepMind released the first comprehensive empirical assessment of automation in machine learning research and development in the Gemini 4 Argon security report. The conclusion is that AI has not accelerated the R&D of AI itself, despite the fact that AI has written most of the code delivered by the lab's engineers. Researcher Haydn Belfield, who participated in the assessment, stated on X that there is currently no significant end-to-end ML R&D acceleration, so the risks of AI-driven ML R&D are currently low.The team built an internal index, GCI v1, which synthesizes the scores of 123 AI models across 92 benchmarks into a single value. The cutting-edge Gemini capabilities are improving at a stable rate of about 0.1 GCI points per month, with Gemini 1.5 Pro approaching 0.5 points by the end of 2024, Gemini 3.8 Flash slightly above 2.9 points by September 2026, and Argon about 3.3 points above the trend line. However, Belfield noted that this is due to increased computing power and organizational investment, rather than AI-driven acceleration.Over 75% of the code produced by DeepMind is written by AI, and the proportion of fully delegated code merge requests increased from 7.5% to 11.9% between April and September, but about 88% of requests still require multiple rounds of human guidance or manual writing. A survey of 12 senior researchers showed that automation is highest in clearly defined, verifiable execution tasks and lowest in areas such as open science concepts, new experimental designs, and unstable diagnostic training.

a16z crypto invited Stanford University professor Dan Boneh, a16z crypto partner Eddy Lazzarin, and other experts to discuss the threats AI poses to cryptography. The experts pointed out that recent advancements in AI in the field of mathematics have not included cryptographic results and have not proven any specific cryptographic assumptions to be less secure.The experts stated that modern cryptography relies on the assumption that certain mathematical problems do not have efficient algorithms; if this assumption holds, no matter how powerful AI becomes, it cannot find algorithms that do not exist. This assumption is related to the unsolved P vs NP problem in computer science, and current AI advancements have not yet touched upon this issue.The experts believe that AI can significantly reduce the time required for cryptographic reviews. Hypotheses that previously took ten years to validate can now allow models to run for a month to attempt to break them. At the same time, the migration work driven by quantum threats has prepared for some of the risks posed by AI, and cryptographic agility can help systems switch methods when weaknesses are discovered. For developers, the most direct opportunity is to use AI to discover more vulnerabilities before software deployment.
