Plus: most AI neurons may be readable after all, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash goes free on OpenCode, and Accenture's $29 Claude cap.

On October 15, Tesla showed its redesigned Roadster running up a curved ramp upside down, flipping in the air and landing on its wheels. Elon Musk posted: "Turns out the future does have flying cars." Reports say compressed-air thrusters help it jump, but Tesla has not explained how it works. Musk says production starts in 2028.
What you can do: Watch Tesla's own clips rather than the headlines, and read it as a ramp-assisted stunt for now: compressed air gives seconds of push, not a flight to work.

A Goodfire researcher argues that the parts inside large AI models are far easier to understand than many assumed. Early checks on one open model suggest about 90 percent of neuron roles have one main job. He calls it a working hypothesis, and independent checks are still to come.

The OpenCode coding tool now lists DeepSeek V4.1 Flash at no cost on its pay-as-you-go service, for a limited time with no end date. On its $10-a-month plan, the same model is still a paid, metered one, so check which plan you are on before relying on it.

An AI assistant reads your request and a web page in the same stream of text, so hidden words on a page, such as white text on a white background, can steer it. The risk is highest when the assistant has your private data, reads pages it did not write, and can send things out.
What you can do: Before you let an assistant act for you, remove one of those three, for example by closing tabs that hold private data.
