According to Car and Driver, the W1 packs a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine, teamed up with an electric motor for an electrifying boost. The gas engine alone flexes 916 horsepower! 😸💨

A car so fast, even us cats might start chasing it! 🐈

🐾 SWIFT Paws Into Crypto! 🪙

SWIFT is gearing up to dip its paws into the world of crypto and tokens starting in 2025! Banks will be able to test transactions with digital assets through SWIFT’s international payment system. While the specific banks joining this "pilot" are still a mystery, the excitement is already in the air 🏦

The trials will cover both payments and securities settlements, giving crypto a big nudge into mainstream finance. Previously, banks like Deutsche Bank, HSBC, NatWest, Santander, and Sumitomo Mitsui were spotted experimenting with SWIFT’s blockchain tests 😸✨

Looks like crypto is getting its claws into everything! 👀

🐾 Math Tricks to Bypass AI Safety? 🙀

Cybersecurity researchers found a sneaky hack called MathPrompt, where threat actors use algebraic equations to bypass genAI safety controls. Instead of plain language, math problems trick AI protections, like a clever cat sneaking through a locked door 🧠➕🔓

While researchers call this a "critical vulnerability", cybersecurity experts advise staying calm. Companies like OpenAI and Google are working on fixes, and the real focus should be on keeping sensitive data safe in AI systems.

It's like using strange symbols to break a website — just with math. But let’s face it, if AI keeps falling for math puzzles, it might be as clueless as a cat trying to catch a laser dot — never learning the trick 😹

🐾 Arthur Hayes Unveils Crypto Listing Secrets in New Article "PvP"

In his latest article, Arthur Hayes spilled the beans on how crypto listings really work on centralized exchanges. Here are the juicy details:

1️⃣ Most CEXs charge between $250,000 and $500,000 in stablecoins for a listing, with some even asking for up to 16% of the total token supply.

2️⃣ Binance has a sneaky strategy — they take up to 8% of the token supply and require projects to buy $5 million in BNB, which gets locked up as collateral.

3️⃣ A listing on top exchanges in 2024 no longer guarantees a token price pump. Tokens launched this year have been disappointing for retail investors.

Even with nine lives, not even a cat could save these tokens from a nosedive... 😿

🐾 Apple Loses $2.5 Million by Mistaking Fake iPhones for the Real Deal 📱

For three whole years, two citizens from China pulled off quite the scheme — bringing counterfeit iPhones into Apple service centers and stores in the U.S., demanding to swap the "broken" devices for brand new ones 🤯

In total, they managed to send around 6,000 fake iPhones to service centers. According to U.S. Customs, the whole batch came straight from Hong Kong 🇭🇰✈️

Looks like Apple needs a better "purr-otection" plan — these scammers had them chasing their tails! 🙀

🐾 Nvidia's Big Robotaxi Breakthrough! 🚕💨

With Tesla gearing up to reveal its long-awaited robotaxi on October 10, there's a sneaky winner in the background — Nvidia! 🐱 Their GPUs are set to play a major role in the autonomous vehicle world.

While Tesla’s event steals the spotlight, Nvidia is quietly becoming the engine behind these self-driving marvels 🚗 Their powerful DRIVE platform (including DRIVE Thor and DRIVE Orin) gives robotaxis the AI power they need to crunch massive amounts of sensor data in real-time 🧠⚡

Paws crossed for Nvidia as they accelerate into the future of transport! 😼🚀

🐾 Hera the Space Asteroid Investigation! 🛰️🐾

After NASA’s DART mission pounced on asteroid Dimorphos in 2022 (yep, they crashed a spacecraft into it on purpose! 🐾💥), Europe’s Hera spacecraft is zooming over to check out the cosmic mess! 😸☄️

Like a curious kitty, Hera’s going to sniff out all the asteroid’s secrets — its structure, what it’s made of, and just how big of a dent that space paw-slap left! 🐾 It’s all part of a bigger plan to figure out how to protect Earth from any future space boulders that might want to play a little too rough 🌍

But let’s be real: if asteroids were just big cosmic mice, we cats would have dealed with them away long ago! 😼🚀

🐾 Google Facing a Paw-sible Breakup? 🐾

Big meows from the tech world! The U.S. Department of Justice might force Google to split up its empire, marking the first corporate breakup in decades! 🐱💥

The whole cat-tastrophe centers around Google’s default search deals — where Google paws out billions to make sure it’s the top search engine on browsers like Safari and Firefox. These cozy arrangements are at the heart of a big antitrust case, and now the Justice Department is thinking about clawing at Google’s core — possibly separating Chrome and Android from the rest of the company 😾🧩

Looks like Google’s nine lives might get a little complicated soon... Purr-haps it’s time for them to stop chasing their tail! 😼

🐾 HBO Reveals the Real Creator of Bitcoin? 🙀

Big news in the crypto litter box! 💸 HBO dropped a bombshell with the premiere of their new film Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery, claiming to have finally unmasked the elusive creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.

For years, the identity of Satoshi has been the greatest mystery in the crypto world. Speculations have circled around different names. But according to the filmmakers, Satoshi's real name is Peter Todd. Yep, a Canadian developer, who’s been involved with Bitcoin since 2010! 😱🐱

However, not everyone's purring with excitement. The crypto community has clawed back at HBO’s claims, pointing out the lack of solid evidence. Even Peter Todd himself denied the connection😼

Seems like this mystery still has a few more lives left... 🐾

🐾 Tesla Rolls Out Purrfectly Driverless Rides! 🚕

At the "We, Robot" event, Elon Musk showed off Tesla’s newest kittens: the sleek, two-seater Cybercab taxi and the 20-passenger Robovan. These fully autonomous vehicles have no steering wheel, no pedals, and can even charge themselves — talk about cat-like independence! 🐱🔋

Musk says these driverless rides will be 10-20 times safer than humans (who could use a few more cat reflexes), with fares as low as 20 cents per mile 🐾

Tesla plans to unleash its self-driving fleet in Texas and California next year, with Cybercab pouncing into production by 2027 😺
