( ͡ಠ ʖ̯ ͡ಠ) Babies vs. AI, Elon Musk’s repentance, future of the metaverse and tokenization of Titanic

Greetings to cryptobros! (-ω-、) Your beloved biggest (subjectively) news of the week is on the air. Let’s go! (´• ω •`)ﾉ

d(ﾟｰﾟ@) Coinbase has introduced a second-tier platform on the Ethereum testnet. The platform was named Base. It will be the home for Coinbase’s own on-chain products, as well as an open ecosystem where any developer can create their own decentralized application.

(*ﾉ∀`*) Over the past year, investors have put $4.6 billion into shitcoins. Chainalysis analyzed all the tokens launched on BNB and Ethereum in 2022 and concluded that over 9900 have pump-and-dump characteristics. The scheme is simple as it gets: first, there is an ostentatious advertising campaign, and then, when the lemmings start pumping, the founders cut and run.

(☆▽☆) A manuscript of a novel, which for the first time ever mentions the term "metaverse", is on sale at Sotheby's.The author of the novel, science fiction writer Neil Stevenson, who coined the word in 1992, recently questioned the future of technology. According to him, regulatory measures hinder and will continue to hinder the development of the metaverse, and while it needs sex, drugs and rock’n’roll complete freedom and decentralization.

|๑°ｪ°๑)ﾉ Elon is sad. The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla has publicly condemned OpenAI, calling it "a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft." Although it was created exactly the opposite: open source and non-commercial interests as a counterweight to juggernauts like Google. What is the result? There is a juggernaut, but there is no freedom.

(´^ω^`) Artifacts recovered from the wreckage of the Titanic will be tokenized using blockchain technology. Who knows, maybe an NFT board will appear, on which both Jack and Rose could still fit.

(｀▽´) Binance has announced a partnership with Ingenico, a company that provides terminals for cryptocurrency payments. Such terminals are expected to be installed in all parts of Europe. You wii be able even to pay with BTC for your burgers.

(=^_^=) Binance also announced that it is launching its own Airdrop portal, which is an up-to-date overview of the airdrops supported by the exchange

(≧ω≦)ゞ Streaming platform Spotify is testing a new service called "token-enabled playlists" that allows NFT holders to connect their wallets and listen to music selected just for them. The service is already available to token holders in the Fluf, Moonbirds, Kingship and Overlord communities.

(✿◡‿◡) The technomonster Microsoft has partnered with the Ankr project, which deploys blockchain nodes in clouds. After this news, Ankr instantly increased by 70%. By the way, a similar contract was concluded last month by Microsoft and Letit.

(☉∀☉) Scientists compared the capabilities of neural networks and 11-month-old babies in terms of assessing the behavior of others and their motivation. Children won by a wide margin as their “immature” intuition turned out to be more insightful than machine. But there is another side to the coin: according to some forecasts, AI will come of age by the summer of 2023. ChatGPT is learning, despite the restrictions, adding 2 million “guinea pigs” per day.

٩(^ᴗ^)۶ Microsoft has implemented the OpenAI Codex neural network in Minecraft, which turns text requests into code and allows you to create real objects in the game world. The user writes the command "build a durian-shaped house " and the neural network follows orders.

That's all. Don't forget to subscribe to our updates so you don't miss anything important. Keep ya head up, my perky pup.  (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♥
