Data shows the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index has marked an improvement after the latest price surge, but its value is still inside the extreme fear zone. Bitcoin Has Witnessed A Price Jump Over The Past Day Bitcoin ended last week on a mixed note, first observing a sharp surge near $74,000 on Friday, but then dropping back into the low $70,000 levels inside the same day. The weekend saw the asset consolidate, but it seems the new week has brought with it fresh bullish momentum as BTC has jumped once more. As the below chart shows, Bitcoin went further…

A new debate has emerged over whether a continued shift by Bitcoin miners toward artificial intelligence could impact the network’s security and its role as a store of value.While some argue that miners leaving the network would leave it more susceptible to a “51% attack,” others argue it will simply trigger the Bitcoin network to rebalance itself as designed, making it enticing for miners again.“AI has killed Bitcoin forever,” crypto trader Ran Neuner said on Sunday, arguing that it has become Bitcoin mining’s biggest competitor because both industries compete for electricity.“AI is willing to pay much more for it,” he…

Special thanks to Vlad Zamfir and Jae Kwon for many of the ideas described in this post Aside from the primary debate around weak subjectivity, one of the important secondary arguments raised against proof of stake is the issue that proof of stake algorithms are much harder to make light-client friendly. Whereas proof of work algorithms involve the production of block headers which can be quickly verified, allowing a relatively small chain of headers to act as an implicit proof that the network considers a particular history to be valid, proof of stake is harder to fit into such a…

The gaming community freaked out last week when Seamus Blackley, the original creator of Xbox, claimed the console was sunsetting in an interview with Gamesbeat.However, if you read the interview or his comments on Bluesky, you’ll realize he meant that something at the core of Xbox feels off: The console he built is in “distress.” Blackley speculated that the February shuffle of Asha Sharma from AI executive to executive vice president and CEO of Microsoft Gaming means the product is in “palliative care.”Xbox is not shutting down, but many were quick to believe the headlines, as there’s a dark cloud…

Outside spending, the widening war in the Middle East, generational politics, and the future of the Democratic Party’s progressive wing have all converged in the race for Illinois’s Ninth Congressional District.The crowded primary to succeed the district’s outgoing representative has drawn national attention in part because of the millions of dollars flowing into the race from groups aligned with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). Though 15 candidates are on the ballot, the contest has largely narrowed to a three-way race between Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss, journalist Kat Abughazaleh, and Illinois state Senator Laura Fine.Biss first entered politics in…

In this tutorial, we build an enterprise-grade AI governance system using OpenClaw and Python. We start by setting up the OpenClaw runtime and launching the OpenClaw Gateway so that our Python environment can interact with a real agent through the OpenClaw API. We then design a governance layer that classifies requests based on risk, enforces approval policies, and routes safe tasks to the OpenClaw agent for execution. By combining OpenClaw’s agent capabilities with policy controls, we demonstrate how organizations can safely deploy autonomous AI systems while maintaining visibility, traceability, and operational oversight. !apt-get update -y !apt-get install -y curl !curl…

Das Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) gibt Unternehmen eine Checkliste für (mehr) GenAI-Sicherheit an die Hand. Foto: Gannvector | shutterstock.comWährend Unternehmen wie OpenAI, Anthropic, Google oder Microsoft aber auch Open-Source-Alternativen bei ihren Generative-AI– und Large-Language-Model-Angeboten exponentielle User-Zuwächse verzeichnen, sind IT-Sicherheitsentscheider bemüht, mit der rasanten KI-Entwicklung in ihren Unternehmen Schritt zu halten. Die Non-Profit-Organisation OWASP trägt dieser Entwicklung mit einer neuen Veröffentlichung Rechnung: der “LLM AI Cybersecurity & Governance Checklist“. LLM-Bedrohungskategorien Das Thema KI ist ziemlich umfangreich, weswegen die OWASP-Checkliste vor allem darauf abzielt, Führungskräfte dabei zu unterstützen, die wesentlichen Risiken im Zusammenhang mit generativer KI und großen Sprachmodellen möglichst…

Warner Bros. Actors have won Oscars for horror movies in the past, but it isn’t exactly a regular occurrence. The genre has long been overlooked at the ceremony, so Amy Madigan being among the 2026 Oscar winners for her performance as the evil Aunt Gladys in “Weapons” is notable. What’s more, it marks the first time since 1992 that a performer has won an Academy Award for playing a villain in a horror movie.  The last time this happened was for Anthony Hopkins’ outing as Hannibal Lecter in “The Silence…

By Katherine K. Chan and Sheldeen Joy Talavera, Reporters THE ASIAN Development Bank (ADB) is looking to cut its growth forecast for the Philippines amid risks from the escalating war in the Middle East and the lingering effects of the flood control graft mess last year. ADB Lead Economist for Southeast Asia James P. Villafuerte said they will likely revise their initial estimate of 5.3% Philippine gross domestic product (GDP) growth for this year to account for the impact of the Middle East war on inflation, remittances and tourism.    “We are revisiting the number because of this new Middle…
