Experts warn this fake Claude install guide can be used to empty crypto wallets
THE SO WHAT
Attackers are now hijacking trust in AI brands and official domains — a fake “install Claude on Mac” guide hosted on claude.ai and boosted via Google ads ends in a Ledger recovery-phrase drain. If you touch wallets or sensitive auth, assume users will follow AI-branded instructions blindly and harden flows around seed phrases and device prompts this week.

Deep & Emerging TechAmazons new Texas AI data center will include massive amounts of air pollution
AI buildout is colliding with local emissions constraints — a natural-gas-powered Texas data center that may be the most polluting in the country will not be the last. If your AI roadmap depends on new capacity, you now have to underwrite not just power and water, but permitting risk, community pushback, and potential regulatory overhang on fossil-backed sites.
Deep & Emerging TechYouTuber Spends Two Years Making Alcohol From Thin Air, Doesn’t Even Get Wasted
Turning CO₂ and air into ethanol is a reminder that 'waste' streams are now potential feedstocks. If you're in chemicals, fuels, or food, treat hobbyist projects like this as early signals of where carbon utilization tech may head over the next decade.
Deep & Emerging TechChina AI Chip Designer Moore Threads Plans Hong Kong Listing
A 420% post-IPO run-up and a planned Hong Kong listing for Moore Threads underlines how much domestic AI silicon is now a capital markets story, not just an export-control story. If you depend on US or Taiwan GPUs, start modeling a world where Chinese accelerators are both well-funded and increasingly competitive in regional markets.
Deep & Emerging TechPlanned Amazon data center could become the biggest climate polluter in the U.S.
If a single AI-heavy data center can top the national emissions list, carbon is about to become a first-class constraint in compute strategy. Expect permitting, power contracts, and customer pressure to push operators toward cleaner grids and explicit emissions SLAs—not just price and latency.
