Crypto reacts to superconductor claims that made front-page news

Yesterday, the crypto community responded to a Microsoft Word document that appeared to be a pre-print for an upcoming scientific article announcing the “world’s first room temperature, ambient pressure superconductor.” The dubious paper was shared on Hacker News and somehow made its way to the top page, garnering 1,500 points. If true, the miraculous superconductor would enable quantum computers suitable for home offices, near-instant battery charging, near-lossless electric grids, ultra-cheap magnetic levitation, and cooling-free computation that would threaten the security of all blockchains and the cryptography securing most of humanity’s passwords. Reactions ranged from “the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime” to “it’s crackpottery.”  HN just tweeted an article about a 20 degree C superconductor and I got really excited. How did a hoax get so many points? — John K. Paul (@johnkpaul) March 19, 2011 Was it real? We’ll know more in the coming days, as scientists attempt

Blockchain for digital inclusion? This platform makes AI accessible to everyone

Image
The emergence of ChatGPT has not only shown the potential of artificial intelligence, but also raised concerns about further empowering large corporations with increased control. As technology advances, artificial intelligence (AI) has become more than a buzzword used by high-level executives. Today, technology is becoming a part of the world’s everyday interactions, with several real-world use cases emerging. According to an article from MIT Sloan School of Management, some of these prominent use cases include investing in skills and training to transform job quality, rapidly developing content such as with tools like ChatGPT and, in the financial sector, rebalancing taxes. In the blockchain space, another use case was made apparent from early and mid-stage blockchain projects that have begun to use AI and tokenomics to create more liquidity for project tokens. Yet while the applications of AI are many, there is still a great fear that governments and corporations will control AI. Cu

How lawyers overslept crypto revolution | Opinion

Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. There is a growing fintech and web3 industry, yet people often struggle to find legal professionals for a wide variety of legal jobs in this space. Typical inquiries may include how to issue tokens, launch a DAO, or manage a crypto fund. The case that ended up on my desk turned out to be much more commonplace, namely, a dispute involving a customer and a crypto exchange that refused to release crypto currency, citing compliance with anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regulations. However, this case was significant because it underscored the competency gap among ‘ crypto ’ lawyers who had tried to resolve it before I did. One day, a friend of mine brought the issue to me. I wasn’t practicing law at that time, being preoccupied with academic research on blockchain, but my curiosity was piqu
