DeepSeek Security Lapses #1795

DeepSeq, the AI platform that's taken the world by storm, is now under fire for a major security lapse. Researchers at Wiz discovered that DeepSeq left a critical database exposed potentially compromising over a 1000000 records including user data, API keys, and system logs. While there's no evidence of malicious access, the ease of discovery raises serious concerns. This isn't the this isn't the first time an AI security breach and experts warn that as AI advances, so do its vulnerabilities.

I am, this week has just been gone that fast. It's been gone. 4 interviews this week, meetings, planning, execution. It's just it's just been nonstop. Yesterday, I, I basically at at 5:30, I just kinda almost semi collapsed. And, yeah, you know, it is what it is.

But, you know, I think hate to say it right now, but the highlight of my week was ordering groceries tonight because I hit groceries my my refill of food. Oh my gosh. So, hey. You know, live living the life and, but, you know,

the the weather, I'm just I'm being a bit of a hermit, to be honest with you. I really, really am. Hey. Let's go ahead and get into the stack. I do wanna thank, one of our insiders before we get into it, Michael Pay, for a Ohana $5 per month, donation. Thank you so much, Michael, for your ongoing support of the show. It's it's greatly appreciated. But, as we talk about deep seek, and I talked about it enough last week not to really, I guess for a better word,

you know, you guys heard my opinion. I I said you shouldn't be using it. And here again, just this situation with it having a fairly substantial security hole and, leaving crucial databases exposed just shows you they're not really paying attention and, it just makes you just makes you wonder, you know, what they're you know, that they're just running on such a tight budget that they don't have enough people taking care of things. It's hard. Security is hard.

We get reports from time to time at Blueberry on security vulnerabilities. And, to be frank, we appreciate those that come in, from security researchers. We we really do. It helps it helps us a great deal and, so and we pay them pay them for their bounties but, yeah, it's it's just an it's an ongoing ongoing process for sure.

Amazon Prime Video has ads now. There's a way to nix the ads, but you're gonna have to pay. You're gonna have to pay more, and paying more always sucks. So if you wanna shut off the ads, go to Amazon Prime Video website, click your profile icon in the top right corner of the page, click account settings, click go to free go to the add free button, and then start subscription.

And, as you probably know, Prime Video is included in Amazon Prime, which costs 14.99 a month or the $139 a year, but it's gonna cost you an extra $3 now per month to get ad free. This is bullshit. You know? This is what we paid for Amazon Prime, to be quite frank with you. I get my value out of the shipping for sure, but come on. Come on. Do we really need to do that, to be honest with you? I'm getting an error over here. What's going on?

Maybe it's bad weather out or something. The, the bandwidth YouTube is complaining about not receiving enough uplink. So, sometimes this happens. That's the, you know, running on Starlink or at the end of the month close to end of the bandwidth allowance. But, yeah, if you wanna shut that off, it's gonna cost you an extra $3. I don't watch enough stuff up at Amazon Prime to even be worried about it. But one

thing has made really headline news today is AI edited images and movies could still be copyrighted. The US agency advised and they put out some new guidance here. And it's it's not exactly what probably what most everyone wants to hear, but, the report argues that copyright protects original expression in a work created by human. They reported the 2nd in a series from the copyright office with this edition specifically focused on what it's called copyrightability

of AI generated and AI edited images. The office first issued guidance around 2023, followed by a series of online listening sessions for the public to contribute their thoughts. The arguments, recommendations, these reports aren't law, but they give us some insight how the agency is viewing. One key thing that the copyright highlights is the level of human contribution. So that's interesting. Meaning, how hands on a human really is during the creation process is important

because the report correctly calls out. A lot of popular editing software have recently added AI powered updates, seeing things like the aging and film post production photo editing features to get clean up unwanted objects, etcetera. That kind of assistive AI is different than a person writing complex prompt for an AI image to render. And as such, the use of that AI powered editing program shouldn't prevent filmmakers or photographers from retaining copy rates of their

work. There's an important distinction between using an AI tool to assist in creation of works as a stand in for human creativity. Of course, as in the other side,

AI image prop prompts that, like, I create for my episode are are not copyrightable nor would I want them to be. The same prompt can produce endless and different outputs, meaning AI has more involvement in the act of the creation. So, bit of a hodgepodge here at this point for sure. This is interesting. The Video Game History Foundation Library has opened its archives for the first time and so today, the Video Gaming History Foundation announced an early access launch of the digital archive.

Wow. Including magazine catalogs, behind the scene content, and it's completely free. The VGHF has more than 1500 searchable video game magazines, which are all, of course, out of print. A particular point of interest among these files is what VGHF calls the Mark Filtman papers. Filtman is a retired game producer with a career spanning multiple companies.

Fans of Myst will also find over a 100 hours of footage from the series production, the series, including the FNB content, much was planned for inclusion of upcoming the Myst documentary. So, unfortunately, you can't play the video games in the archive. US copyright law makes sharing those files a murky area. Now here's what's interesting and something that I have been working on. I have literally 3 or 4 boxes of, not boxes, but storage containers full of Hi8 Hi8 videos.

My Hi8 video camera, I've had a little it's been a little funky. It's not working real good and, I wanna get these things

digitized. So what I did is I ordered a new digitizer off Amazon. It was about a $130. You pick a stick a USB stick into it. It has a little screen, little Chinese knockoff thing. And then I went on eBay. I paid more than I wanted to for a Hi8 player. Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna run all the tapes through this Hi8 player then I'll put it back on eBay and just resell it. I think I paid $300 for it, but those things were crazy expensive

in the day. And I've got one of 2 that I could find on eBay that was in good shape, coming. So I've got one coming to be able to to digitize. So my goal here is to it'll probably take me several months, but I'll be able to digitize all these Hi 8 tapes that I have. And then my plan I've gotta figure out a plan on where to put them,

you know, digital archive somewhere online. I I again, you know, there's I could make a separate family YouTube channel, make them all private, only give the family access to them. I just don't know. I don't know what the exact I don't want something I have to pay for but I also want stuff that will last the test of time. But the problem is many of these videos have, I'm sure gonna have music in them. So that's not gonna work for YouTube.

Where are you now putting all your digital media videos and stuff besides a hard drive? You know, that's that's always the first option. That's where everything's gonna go initially and will go into my raid. But, you know, the way I look at that, that could be a ticking time bomb. It's it's everything's fine as long as I'm alive. You know, the the backup I would keep the raid running, and there would be no issues. But what happens if, you know, something happens to me?

I've got passwords shared with, the pertinent family members that would need to get be able to get into that stuff. But, you know, what do you do? What do you do with all this this digital media now? And we're we're we're just creating tons of it. Right? You think about everything that's on our mobile devices. Just just I mean, a a gobsmacking amount of media. I'll probably have one hard drive that I'll buy a big one. And probably, I don't know if I want SSD.

I'm not sure yet, but something that I can put in a safety deposit box somewhere. If the building burns down, it'll be safe, and be saved. But I would like something in the cloud, but the cloud always costs money. I don't know. You know, this is this is a a issue for all of us. So what are you doing these days? And maybe it's a

AWS cold storage. Maybe that's the key. But, again, I'm gonna have to have someone in the family that is savvy enough to be able to if they ever want to extract that stuff from Amazon cold storage to be able to do so. The company that Jeff Bezos found has gone to court to keep the newspaper he owns from finding out too much about the inner workings of its business. This is weird. Amazon is suing Washington State to limit the release of public grassroots to The Washington Post.

From a series of State Department of Labor Industry Investigations, Amazon, Project Cupier satellite facilities in the Seattle area lawsuit filed this week in King County Superior Court in Seattle says the newspaper on November 26 requested copies of inspection records,

investigation notes, interview notes, complaints, and other documents related to fort invigations at the Redmond, Washman facility. It's not an unusual move by the company and it's in some ways, it's a legal techno tech technicality. Amazon says it's not seeking to block the records released entirely, but seeking to protect from public disclosure certain records that contain proprietary information and trade secrets. There's a fly flying around here. Good lord. Must be one of

those real ugly ones, you know. Those of you who live where it's winter, you understand those type of lies. The lawsuit cites a prior situation in which Amazon Department of Labor Industry similarly worked through the court to respond to Seattle Times Public. So, basically, Washington Post wants to know stuff about Amazon. And even though Jeff Bezos owns Washington Post, Amazon, the company, doesn't wanna give that data to Washington Post. Very, very, very interesting.

Hey. There are lots of stuff going on with people and their JOBs. Google is offering voluntary exit for employees working on Pixel Android. Oh, what's going on here? Well, it appears the team responsible for Pixel hardware and Android software merged into one division. And Google today has a voluntary exit program for employees working in the platforms and devices group. Sent a memo this morning at about the voluntary exit.

The program applies to US employees working on platform devices, which includes Android auto Android, AutoTV, Wear OS XR, Chrome, Chrome OS, Google Photos, Google One, Pixel, Fitbit, and Nest. Google has many people around working in these products, but today's announcement is just for those in the United States. Meanwhile, this is not a company wide offer that applies to search for AI.

Separate software and hardware are already 2 very large organizations with some overlap, so they're just trying to get rid of extra people here. So,

we're gonna see a lot of this and could see some of this going on in the federal government next week. UPS plans to slash. Boy, this is a big, big, big, big news. UPS plans to slash its shipping business with Amazon by half. Wow. It's the latest of several move by carriers to pull away from the online giant. UPS is keen to withdraw from its business relation with Amazon by the second half of twenty twenty six.

UPS said it will cut its shipping volumes for Amazon by more than 50% under the company revised arrangement. Amazon is our largest customer, but it's not our most profitable customer. Business with Amazon account for about 11% of UPS revenue, totaled 91,100,000,000. Amazon was the largest share of UPS revenue during the peak of COVID at 13%. So although Amazon does rely on outside companies for some shipping, those relations have sometimes turned tenuous and, so including the USPS.

And I'm starting to see now stuff from Amazon where they say, hey. Would you like to have a carbon friendly delivery a few days later? And some stuff I don't care so I opt for the and they gave me, like, 72¢ or something like that in in credits. Google search new ask me ask for me. This is kind of wild. Google's search new ask for me calls local businesses for a availability and pricing. Now imagine, your phone rings at your business and Google's gonna use AI to call on your behalf.

So when you search for something like oil

change near me or ask for me, a card will appear, let you enter the details about the service you're looking for. In the case of mechanics, Google start by asking what you're looking for. Factory schedule, maintenance, oil change, high rotation balancing, tire replacement, fill blah blah blah blah. You then enter the deals about your car, year, make, and model, when you need the service, next week, soon as available, and then it calls.

For set a nail salon request, picking manicure will let you drill down into basic dip powder, French acrylic gel, shellac, and that will call the with a natural sounding voice of a local business and generate summary price and availability that you get via text or message after about 30 minutes. What are you gonna do when Google calls you? That's that's a question. What are you gonna do when Google calls you? Isn't there there's a song. Right? Something to call you. I can't remember.

You guys are gonna help me. Interesting. Yeah? Maybe. This is a little bit of an answer to some of the things I've been concerned about. So

the Musk, Trump, or bromance, according to Yahoo Finance, has turned x debt from burden to an asset for Morgan Stanley. A lot of banks underwrote their debt that they had with x, but helped by my singular relationship with president Trump and the tech mogul's newfound proximity to the White House, Morgan Stanley discovering that investors are drawn to the debt of the company as it leads in marketing a 3,000,000,000 offering. Potential buyers already got a p x Financial seeing sides of a rebound.

And as an added bonus, investors will gain exposure to the company's stake in Marks Mus artificial intelligence project x AI. The pitch includes results that show an adjusted version of x 20 24 profits or earnings. So

interesting. Interesting that they've got a bump here. Now we all know there's craziness going on in DC and and, by the way, condolences to everyone that was in that horrible airplane crash, yesterday. Very, very sad. That type of thing should not happen anymore. It it really, really, really should not. It's just just crazy. But, obviously, JFK is in been in, you know, senate confirmation or whatever it is, and it's, you know, it's all over social

media. That's just fireworks and all kinds of craziness. And, one thing that I would find interesting, I don't know a lot about him and what he wants to do and, you know, I know he's got this thing about making America healthier and, you know, having right ingredients and, you know, like, I heard something about French fries in UK as 3 ingredients, the potatoes, salt, and oil. And in America, there's 13 or 14. I I anyway, I I haven't been following it too close.

But what if he comes in and bans all television advertising of pharmaceutical? Many of you that live outside the United States, you guys don't get hammered by pharmaceutical ads. Here, YouTube, Facebook, everywhere, it's just this onslaught of pharmaceutical ads. It'd be nice if he banned all that. But the problem is in where the well, not where the problem is. I don't think mainstream media and regular television will survive without that advertising.

It it's 1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 of dollars. What happened with my TV? Oh, just come back on. So it's it's an it's an interesting thing that could happen here. A house bill is aimed to better protect financial institutions from ransomware attacks. This legislation would

direct the treasury sector to deliver report on public private coordination to combat attack down the financial sector. I'm surprised they're getting anything done, but this bipartisan pair are seeking to improve private public coordination. So this is called the private public and private sector ransomware response coordination act. The legislation, both from members of the House Financial Service Committee, comes as global ransomware attacks jump 67% 2023 to

how much percent? 67 oh, from 2023 to 2024. And 65% of finance institutions globally report experienced ransomware in 2024. Wow. So bad actors are out there. Under the bill, the treasurer's secretary report would require detail the current level of public private coordination. You know, they need to just fix their security. Banks holding our money need to fix their security. Absolutely need to fix their security. Why you need the government to do that? I don't understand.

The FAA, you know, is is without a leader right now, and, Michael Whitaker stepped down as the FAA administrator

in January 20th. And after clashing probably with both president Trump and Elon Musk. So the new transportation secretary, I guess, was asked about it today. So is the FAA administrator how's that appointment work? Who I don't know who hires him. Oh, I'm looking right here in the article. His resignation clears the way for president to name his own replacement.

He said this morning okay. So he's tapping Chris Rocholay, a top executive from an Aviation Business Association acting FAA administrator, but provided notice about a permanent replacement. So I wonder if this person has to be confirmed. I have no idea. So, gonna have somebody acting at least,

while this aviation incident is going on. I don't know how fast they're gonna get in place, but this transition in government when things are delayed, when congress takes so long to get people in place, this this is what happens. Now not the accident necessarily wasn't caused by that, but there are rumors that there wasn't enough, air traffic controllers there, but time will tell on any of that.

Layoffs hit SiriusXM again. 200 and a 100 employees were laid off, this week, and they're looking for another 200 and $200,000,000 extra cost savings. They're still bleeding money like crazy, so, the layoffs are not over.

At the same time, Elon says Tesla will launch a robo taxi service in Austin this June. Tesla owners will be able to add their own vehicles to the fleet next year. So this ride hailing service, I guess, is a test. Hy Motel, that I have it in here somewhere. I guess their earnings call wasn't so good either. Tesla's earning call was, pretty disappointing, pretty dismal. Considering the way the economy is, I can't imagine anyone's earning calls are that good. And you look at the winter cost.

Oh my god. Winter energy bills. And I'm I'm sure they're straining, folks. It says 62% of the United States adults are are getting killed. More than 1 in 10 years adults are already behind in the energy bill. And, you know, the colder it gets, though, the worst it is for everyone. Winter temperatures dropped across the country, and extreme cold has been pushing up monthly energy bills in December. The monthly inflation increase was attributed to rise to overall energy costs.

An exclusive seen that survey found that most house expect to pay 688 on energy bills over the course of the

winter months. Mine's about a 1,000. My gas bill for the winter season is a $1,1100. That's a natural gas bill. So and I consider myself having a relatively small place to heat. So how about you? What what is your energy bill? And those of you who live in the South that just got whacked, you know, what was what was your impact? Not surprising at all, CNN has announced major layoffs to modernize business, quote, unquote.

They're laying off 6% of its staff or approximately 200 employees in effort to modernize its business. So, they're getting rid of folks because their numbers suck. They're not doing well, and they're doing a bunch of digital restructuring. And, of course, some one of their one of their, big talents just quit because they're putting him in a late hour. And more happy news on the tech side, Comcast just gave 6 cities an early look at lag free Internet.

I've never heard about this. This is called L4s. L4s is an open standard that aims to significantly reduce latency online, and Comcast is among the first to allow customers to use it. So what is L 4 s? Short for low latency, low loss scalable throughput. L4 s wants to make this Internet feel faster, not by upping bandwidth, but making data transfer more efficient. Right now, your ISP sends data to you

in the form of packets. These are small chunks of information, and the worst case scenario, have to queue up to make their way to you. L four s as an indicator to the packets are currently stuck in a queue, allowing the network to address congestion, perhaps outright end it. Essentially, the idea is clear the roads for Internet traffic so it doesn't take as long to get to you or your home. This should be make video chats feel a lot more like sitting across from a coffee table. How to use L4S?

L4S is open source, so Comcast doesn't have any special rights, but, actually, using still involves getting a bunch of big companies degree, hence, the slow rollout. It requires app developers to support alongside Internet service providers. That means that Comcast version starting with just a few use cases, Elforcer will work with FaceTime, NVIDIA Geoforce Now, and supported apps on both Made in Quest headsets and Steam.

The later two companies haven't exactly published a list of which apps are gonna work with the L4s. For instance, if you're on a FaceTime call with grandma and grandma lives in rural Indiana and uses DSL, is people still using DSL? No amount of technical wizardry on your end

is gonna make your connection better. So we're playing a game alongside teammate who doesn't have for us might end up having to carry a little bit or if the game server hosted by clients, in other words, it's it's gonna be early days. It has to be enabled on both ends per se. So we'll see about l four s.

Researchers this is cool. Researcher developed a drone with teeth to help solve global issue plaguing our ocean. And these this is, one of many that have come out of different types of devices that's gonna capture microplastics from water. And it's gonna capture, from 1 is it 1 millimeter? From 1 mill 1 micrometer to 4 millimeters which is no bigger than a sesame seed.

This approach limit is clogging while achieving over the 8 over 80 recovery efficiency for plastic life expanded poly styrene, polypylene, and polyethylene, those found in styrofoam takeout containers and plastic grocery bags. So they're gonna put a bunch of these drones in the ocean and let them troll for microplastics? Sounds like a good idea. If you're watching the sky in, Michigan or in Illinois this few days ago, a Starlink satellite broke up in the atmosphere.

So, apparently, how many did they bring down? They were decommissioning. Online tracking showed Starlink satellite 5693 entered over Wisconsin before traveling over Illinois on its descending pass as it was breaking up in the atmosphere. So we'll probably be seeing more of these as SpaceX deorbits either bad satellites or older ones.

Well, probably, this will become more of a thing, over time. It's a very I saw a tweet where the president asked Elon Musk to bring the 2 astronauts that are at the Internet space station has been stuck up their home. But commander Sonny Williams and Butch Whitmore both basically did a spacewalk today, and, they they removed a broken antenna and wiped the station exterior for evidence of any microbes that might be still alive after launching from Earth escaping through vents.

So but they've been told to bring them home. So I thought that was already scheduled this sometime in February or maybe early March. I do I can't remember the date. So I don't know if they're coming home any earlier, but, you know, they prepared to bring them home, with the rest of the crew that went up there. Telesis 20 yeah. We talked about it a little bit. I'll have the link to Telesis financial report in the in the show notes. But how many of you went and tried

to get an NVIDIA RTX 5090 today? Apparently, the lottery for these

video cards drove people crazy. Japan, everywhere. There was no fights, but people went nuts. And some of them are now available on eBay for much as $6,000. They cost about 2 grand, normally. List price of RTX 5090 is 2,050, 81,000, early listings for 5080 showed multiple models listed at 1300 directly from Best Buy. So these prices are not gonna drop soon because these things are gonna be in heavy, heavy demand for a long time. People want to run their own AI models, and this card is

gonna help with that. NordVPN is a new protocol designed to evade VPN restrictions. They announced a new protocol called Nord Whisper. I think we've heard about this coming. It's specifically designed to, make browsing more accessible by getting around network restrictions. I've never run into a a Nord issue. And matter of fact, when I was in the Philippines, I was connecting United States anytime I was connecting to my local bank, because my local bank was blocking

traffic from the Philippines. It was smart. They never gave my VPN any issues. I did have a couple authentication issues with other financial stuff, even using a VPN. And what I found was if I, like, connected to one in Seattle and I was having issues, if I connected to one to Chicago that's closer to my home, I had more success. So, this is something I see, you know, specifically financial stuff as you would expect. Criminals are abusing top level government domains across multiple countries.

This should not be a surprise at all. A significant number of dotgov domains are news and open redirect tracks. Brazil is a leader in dotgovdomainabuse. In the United States, that gov domains are among the most frequently exploited. How are they even allowed to buy them? That's the question I have. Shouldn't they be limited to a proven government agency? Makes you go, doesn't it? Did I just close a browser? Let me see. Did I close one? Yes. I did.

SpaceX launches from Florida and retired a first stage booster because of extra power needed. Basically, they, launched a Spanish communication satellite to geosynchronous orbit, so the Falcon 9 single booster was sacrificed.

This particular booster, marked its 21st and final launch and, but again, they took off all the reentry fins and the titanium legs and I assume it burned up and dumped in the ocean somewhere, but, they they needed all the fuel they could get and couldn't get back to, to land. This happens once in a while. Mexico has asked Google Maps not to rename the Gulf of Mexico, but Google has said that, as soon as the United States, map people update the name, they will update it.

Now goo a Gulf of America is only gonna show up for those of us here in the United States. For if you live in Mexico, Cuba, anywhere else, it will still be called the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico argues the US cannot legally change the golf name. You know, this is really about getting around drilling. Really has nothing to do about anything else. Vodafone demonstrates world's 1st smallest first excuse me. Vodafone demonstrates world's 1st satellite video call with a standard mobile phone.

It was used may it was used it was made using Bluebird Satellites from Starlink rival, AST Space Mobile. Now I don't know anything about Bluebird at all. So where did they do this? The company is partner, AST SpaceMobile Bluebird Satellite, specifically designed to transmit 4g, 5g, mobile broadband signals from space.

In the demonstration, Vodafone Group chief executive explained the Blue Bird satellites can connect directly with a regular smartphone then transmit the signal back to a Vodafone trust or network network via satellite link. She then took a call from an engineer remote mountain region of Wales with no cellular coverage. So, okay. And we know that this is continuing to happen here in the United States, just a matter of time. Grubhub is bringing new delivery robots to college

campuses. So if you've got a student, you got a a a child attending college, Grubhub is partnering with Avride, an autonomous robot delivery company, to expand its offerings on college campuses. And they've got a 100 robots on OSU, Ohio State University, blah, the Buckeyes, that have plans to expand further. So, yeah, I wonder if they're gonna help them save money on their food delivery. Stock disasters everywhere. Microsoft stock slumped more than 6% on disappointing revenue outlook.

The software giant topped Wall Street's fiscal 2nd quarter estimates pointing earnings of $3.23 per share or 69,630,000,000 in revenue. The decline came after Microsoft Finance chief Amy Hood, something the company expects revs of current quarter to fall short of analyst estimates. So they're making money, but the stock still gets hammered. Nothing new in that regard. This is a weird one. Zuckerberg is all giddy about the return of OG Facebook. What is OG Facebook?

He outlined this priority for this year's getting back to OG Facebook. Does that mean you're gonna stop spying on us and all this other stuff? So Per made his official transcript. He said, I think there's a lot of opportunity to make it way more culturally influential than it is today. I think that's sort of a fun and interesting goal that will take our product development some in in interesting directions that we maybe haven't had a focus on is met over the last several years.

Yes. It's all been about suppressing. So I don't know that I have anything much more specific on this other than this is kind of be one of those focus areas. It's my focus areas for this year. I mean, I think it's an investment area and something I'm going to spend time on. So I, you know, I do miss the original Facebook days when it was an actual social network, when I could see my friends, when I could see what they were talking about.

Instead of being a a a a news feed of ads and fake click and all kinds of BS that I don't wanna see. Is it too late to go back? A lot of people have left the platform. Young people have left. They don't care. I don't know. And is this because of the current administration? Is this the reason they're going back? Remember, those of you watching, I'm hold I just licked my finger and holding up my finger in where the winds blow.

And even Bill Gates was talking about this today about being, quote, unquote, oh, times have changed because everyone now is the current president. So this last one is weird. All of us, every single one of us have took a scoop of something, soup, food, it came out, and it's too hot. And what are we doing? We're blowing on it. Right? Or if we stick it in our mouth and it's too hot and we're right? We've all done that at least once. Guarantee.

And many of us have burned our mouths because we put something too hot in in our mouth. Well, get this. NASA's X-ray telescope, Chandra, discovers that black holes blow on their food to cool it down. Yes. I I said that. Jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall towards the cosmic titan in a cosmic feeding process. This this is just too weird. The supermassive black whole food cooling process was discovered by astronomers using NASA's China X-ray Telescope.

The team found when jets launched from supermassive black holes strike hot gas between galaxies and galaxy clusters called intercluster medium, they key carve out large cavities and cause things to cool off. Who would have known that a black hole need its cosmic food to be cooled off? [email protected]. [email protected]. Don't forget about our sponsor
