My logic is straightforward: Musk’s influence has proven time and again that sentiment, not logic, moves Dogecoin’s price. Image source: Getty Images. Dogecoin’s humble beginnings Dogecoin launched in December 2013 as a joke between…

There is a new AI model called Mythos. Anthropic built it for defensive cybersecurity research. It is so effective at finding software vulnerabilities that Anthropic decided the general public cannot have it.
