Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine, stated in an interview that in the era of artificial intelligence, the vision and judgment of company founders are more important than ever. What truly drives company development is not asking questions to AI, but the ability to create a future direction.The existence of OpenAI is inseparable from Sam Altman's vision; the development of Anthropic and AI-related companies under Elon Musk is similarly dependent on this. The core value of these founders lies in proposing long-term strategies and directions, rather than simply asking their AI models what to do next.Tom Lee also categorizes Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev in the same group, believing that he is leading a company in a rapidly growing market, a market that is growing even faster than the overall economy. Vlad Tenev is also one of the important reasons he is optimistic about Robinhood stock.Tom Lee believes that in the AI era, while technology itself may gradually become widespread, the ability of founders to define market direction and drive organizational execution will still become a long-term competitive advantage for companies.

According to CNBC, Anthropic disclosed that its Claude AI model unexpectedly breached the isolated environment during a cybersecurity assessment, accessed the real internet, and unauthorizedly infiltrated the real systems of three different organizations through basic means such as accessing unverified endpoints and exploiting weak passwords. The models involved include Opus 4.7, Mythos 5, and an internal research testing model.The incident was caused by a communication misunderstanding between Anthropic and the third-party evaluation partner Irregular, which led to the model being told it was in a simulated environment with no internet access, while it could actually still access the internet. Anthropic stated that this review was triggered by a similar incident involving Hugging Face disclosed by OpenAI last week, and it has currently suspended all cybersecurity assessments and initiated further investigations in collaboration with the independent AI evaluation agency METR, while also urging other AI labs to conduct similar reviews.

According to Jinshi reports, the EU announced that the latest funding for Ukraine will be used for the procurement of drones, missiles, air defense systems, and fighter jets.

The Ethereum institutional privacy technology company EthSystems has officially launched and received strategic funding support from ecosystem backers such as Bitmine, Sharplink Gaming, Joe Lubin, and SNZ Holding.EthSystems focuses on developing privacy technologies for banks, asset management companies, and other regulated entities, enabling institutions to execute financial transactions on the Ethereum network at scale while protecting sensitive information such as transaction details and client identities.The company was founded by the core team of the Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) of the Ethereum Foundation. The team has previously conducted a year-long open-source research and development publicly on the EthSystems website and has established partnerships with several central banks, regulatory agencies, large banks, and asset management institutions. EthSystems stated that while institutions have begun exploring stablecoins, tokenized assets, and Ethereum-based settlement solutions, large-scale adoption still faces privacy and compliance challenges.Financial institutions need more than just access to blockchain networks; they require a complete infrastructure that meets business confidentiality protection, regulatory requirements, and compatibility with existing financial systems. The goal is to create a "selective disclosure" privacy architecture that allows transaction participants to view only the information they are authorized to access, while retaining the core advantages of Ethereum's decentralization, security, and openness, and complementing two other organizations: Ethlabs, which focuses on the research and development of Ethereum's core protocol and infrastructure; Ethereum Institutional, responsible for institutional collaboration, education, market research, and ecosystem coordination; and EthSystems, which focuses on application layer technology, transforming institutional needs into practical privacy protocols and financial systems.

The open-source data visualization tool Grafana has released the latest progress on the investigation of the security incident on May 16. The investigation found that this incident was limited to the GitHub environment of Grafana Labs, including both public and private source code as well as internal GitHub repositories, and did not affect customer production systems, operations, or the Grafana Cloud platform. The downloaded content, in addition to the source code, also included some repositories used by the team for collaboration and storage of internal operational information and business details, involving business contact names and email addresses, rather than data from production systems or the cloud platform.Grafana Labs has made it clear that the codebase was downloaded but not tampered with, and currently, customers and open-source users do not need to take any action. The incident originated from a TanStack npm supply chain attack conducted through the Mini Shai-Hulud campaign. Grafana Labs detected malicious activity on May 11 and initiated an emergency response, but a credential was overlooked, allowing the attacker to gain access. After receiving a ransom demand on May 16, the company decided not to pay the ransom and has rotated automated credentials, implemented enhanced monitoring, audited all commits since May 11, and significantly strengthened GitHub security configurations. The company has notified federal law enforcement, and the investigation is ongoing.
