Connor Leahy: We lack understanding of intelligence and neural networks, the unpredictability of AI could lead to loss of control, and GPT models have revolutionized AI capabilities
Key Takeaways We lack a comprehensive understanding of how intelligence and neural networks function. The unpredictability of AI could lead to a future where humans lose control over AI systems. Neural networks differ significantly from traditional programming, operating more like a growth process than a coded instruction set. GPT models have revolutionized AI by learning complex tasks independently as they scale. The release of GPT-2 was a landmark moment, marking a significant leap in AI capabilities. The transformer architecture is foundational to modern AI, underpinning many current applications. Despite advancements, the inner workings of neural networks remain largely mysterious. Neural…
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has unveiled several experimental financial models that target changing the behavior of crypto assets in markets. One of these innovations is elastic supply tokens, also known as rebase tokens. These tokens adjust the number of circulating tokens instead of enabling free price fluctuation. This challenges the conventional concept that cryptocurrency prices alone decide value. Rather, the system endeavors to sustain a target price with a dynamic decrease or increase of supply. What Are Elastic Supply Tokens In DeFi, Elastic Supply Tokens serve as crypto assets with their circulating supply automatically contracting or expanding in line with the…
A fundamental change is occurring in the world of NFTs as the key metrics used to measure projects or value grow more fluid. Traditionally the value of an $NFT has been defined by price and hype, but now value in terms of $NFT creations will largely be based on how much they can generate community engagement and new types of participation. According to the most recent report from PHOENIX Crypto News and Analytics, many $NFT projects are performing well at capturing digital attention. They have created significant portions of the market through the volume of social interactions within their communities.…

Market volatility has made some question these allocations, with 11 pension funds recently losing over $250 million after Strategy’s shares tanked. There has been a heated debate in regulatory and investment circles over whether pension funds should include crypto in their portfolios. However, even as the debate continues, a new report has found that these funds have been quietly expanding their exposure as they seek to beat average market returns. The report, dubbed ‘US Public Pension and Trust…
