AI: Who will be the leader?


The artificial intelligence race has begun.


Today, Bloomberg announced that OpenAI is in talks with investors, intending to attract $100bln investments.


If it does work, OpenAI will take the second place among startups in terms of attracted investments, behind only SpaceX.



OpenAI has made a serious bid for leadership. It looks like an epic artificial intelligence race is ahead of us.


In general, the theme of AI is extremely topical. There are many concerns about it, including predicting the coming apocalypse. I believe that the creation of Skynet from the world of Terminator is still very, very far away. 


We now use the term "artificial intelligence". In a way, it’s misleading, making you imagine some intelligent machine, a real supermind. In fact, "artificial intelligence" is a technical term for a particular set of characteristics of a software product. 


What is being developed is not an imitation of human thinking. In any case, so far it is a program able to quickly find data relevant to the task and compile from them the solution most corresponding to the goal. 


This, by the way, is an extremely difficult and worthy task. But whether algorithms to solve it resemble the human type of thinking is a big question.


In any case, the speed of development of AI is impressive. It really very soon will have a significant impact on all aspects of our lives.


We see calls to limit and even prohibit the development of artificial intelligence. I believe that this is an irrational fear of new technologies. When electronic calculators appeared, in some schools children were forbidden to use them - so that they did not forget to make calculations on the slide ruler (I’m afraid that not everyone imagines this mechanical device).

The ban is unlikely to be effective. But it makes sense to provide safety mechanisms like an emergency shutdown. After all, even a harmless calculator can break and shock its host.

Crypto Exchanges vs SEC Litigation between US Securities and Exchange Commission and major crypto exchanges is ongoing.  The SEC, following the position of its head Gary Gensler, accuses Coinbase, Binance and Kraken of illegal work as unlicensed securities trading activities. So far, illegal trading in securities is the commission’s favorite accusation. Usually, it classified cryptocurrency to securities without any special checks and expertise. If there is cryptocurrency, then it is a security. The exception is Bitcoin, but it is a dubious asset that suspicious people use for dark causes. However, Ripple managed to prove in court that at least monets traded on the stock exchange cannot be considered cryptocurrencies. And then there is the decision of the futures commission that defined Ethereum as commodities. In the current situation, a court ruling in favor of the SEC would mean an additional control circuit over the crypto business.  In fact, crypto exchanges fight for the right to

Tether leaves the crypto community When we talk about cryptocurrencies, we imagine something independent, free from traditional finance. This is true, but only for certain cryptocurrencies that are fully decentralized. A fine example is Bitcoin. This is really a classic cryptocurrency, almost independent from the intervention of third parties, including developers. Indeed, the impossibility of such interference was embedded in the original ideas of Satoshi Nakamoto. That was the main ideological principle, and the blockchain helped put it into practice. We now see that principle being violated. CEO of Tether (USDT) Paolo Ardoino stated that he aims to become a world-class partner of the US to help "expand US$ hegemony". As a real "help", Tether froze $435M in user wallets at the request of American law enforcement.  Tether stated that it considered such a policy a sign of foresight and vigilance. In fact, this is an excellent example of short-sighted politics. The c

Who Owns the Mr. 100 Cryptowallet and What Does Upbit Have to Do With it?  Over the past two months, I've been keeping a close eye on the unusual activity of one Bitcoin wallet nicknamed "Mr. 100." This wallet regularly received deposits of exactly 100 BTC every few days, which led to certain thoughts. Upon deeper analysis, I noticed natural connections between this address and the well-known wallets of the large South Korean exchange Upbit. Having studied the transactions, I came to the conclusion that the so-called “Mr. 100” is highly likely to be a cold wallet of this exchange. The wallet in question , identified by the address "1Ay8v" with a balance of 52,996.88 BTC, has attracted the attention of other crypto enthusiasts. Debate about its origins has reignited on social media, sparking speculation about the identity of its owner, including rumors of a connection to a Qatari billionaire. The key observations that led me to make this assumption were the follo
