The Coming Infrastructure Crisis: Can Networks Handle the AI Boom?

12.11.2025 by qfx

The study forecasts agent proliferation over the coming decade, revealing that while initial growth may appear exponential, resource limitations and inherent system dynamics will ultimately enforce a logistic or, more likely, a Gompertzian curve of deceleration and eventual saturation—a prophecy written into any architecture of scaling.

As AI agents and connected devices multiply, existing infrastructure faces unprecedented strain, demanding a new approach to network design.

Predicting Bitcoin’s Price Swings: Can Classic Models Keep Up?

12.11.2025 by qfx

Autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation functions applied to the Bitcoin price series reveal the inherent temporal dependencies within the cryptocurrency's valuation, offering insights into its dynamic behavior and potential predictability through time-series analysis.

Despite its reputation for chaos, Bitcoin’s price and volatility can be meaningfully forecast using established time series techniques.

China’s AI Safety Playbook

11.11.2025 by qfx

$China’s regulatory ecosystem for model deployment necessitates the formalization of Frontier Safety Policies (FSPs) and the integration of a catastrophic-risk test suite—a provable safety margin—to ensure responsible innovation and mitigate existential threats inherent in increasingly powerful artificial intelligence, demanding a shift from empirical testing to mathematically verifiable guarantees of system behavior akin to establishing bounds on $P(catastrophic\ event | AI\ system)$.$

A deep dive into Beijing’s strategies for mitigating the existential risks of advanced artificial intelligence.
