Ghost Font’s ‘human-only’ message was cracked in a day after a single prompt

Ghost Font, a browser-based experiment by developer Eric Lu, briefly looked like a fresh way to hide text from AI systems while keeping it readable to people. The tool turns typed text into a noisy video: pixels forming letters move upward while the background noise moves downward. Humans can spot the message through motion, but frame-by-frame analysis leaves only static snow. Initial tests appeared to support the idea. According to the article, Claude Fable and GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra both failed to recover the real hidden message and instead reported decoy text embedded in the video. ChatGPT 5.5 Pro reportedly spent 19 minutes and still hallucinated a message that was not there. Gemini 3.1 Pro also returned a planted decoy. That edge did not last. Prompt engineer Riley Goodside gave GPT-5.6 Sol a single instruction explaining the motion directions of the letter pixels and the background. After 1 minute and 56 seconds, the model produced the correct message: “RILEY WAS HERE.” The episode turned Ghost Font from a showcase of human perceptual advantage into a test of how close current multimodal AI is to handling motion once the right cue is provided.

QIZ Security raises $17 million seed round to expand enterprise post-quantum cryptography platform

QIZ Security has raised a $17 million seed round led jointly by Bessemer Venture Partners and Merlin Ventures, with participation from Evolution Equity Partners, Qbeat Ventures, Singtel Innov8, and Qino Cyber Capital. The company said the funding will go toward product development and market expansion as it builds a platform focused on cryptographic posture management and post-quantum cryptography, or PQC, readiness for enterprises. The company is targeting a problem many large organizations face across cloud environments, on-premise systems, application code, and network traffic: they often lack a unified view of the cryptographic assets used to protect data. QIZ Security positions its product as an operational system for cryptographic governance rather than a passive inventory tool. Its platform is designed to discover cryptographic assets across the full stack, assess quantum-related exposure, apply policy frameworks such as NIST and CNSA 2.0, and trigger remediation workflows. According to the article, QIZ Security has already been deployed in sectors including finance, telecom, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. It also lists partnerships with Cisco, AWS, Google, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, EY, and IBM. The company currently has no token, no public tokenomics, and no disclosed staking or governance token structure. Its three co-founders are Ben Volkow, Itan Barmes, and Lenny Ridel, bringing experience from entrepreneurship, enterprise technology, and quantum cybersecurity.

Viral Podcast Clip Revives Claim That Bitcoin Was Created by the CIA

A viral podcast clip has reignited claims that Bitcoin was created by the CIA or the U.S. deep state. But the argument presented by Jiang Xueqin lacks documentary evidence and has been challenged by crypto analysts citing Bitcoin’s open-source code and anti-centralization design.

Is John Nash Satoshi Nakamoto? A Comprehensive Examination of the Nobel Laureate's Astonishing Links to Bitcoin

This article explores the circumstantial evidence suggesting that the late Nobel economist and mathematician John Nash could be Bitcoin's creator, including his 'Ideal Money' paper, a 1955 letter to the NSA describing an encryption machine, and parallels in writing style. Despite no smoking gun, Nash remains one of the most compelling candidates in the Satoshi mystery.
