AI: Efficiency or a New Consumption Boom? 🤖💡
Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, recently highlighted the Jevons Paradox — an economic principle that suggests increased efficiency in resource use often leads to greater overall consumption. In the AI sector, this paradox is becoming more relevant than ever.
Take the example of the Chinese startup DeepSeek, whose R1 model is cheaper, faster, and more energy-efficient than its competitors. At first glance, this democratizes access to AI. But following the paradox, the result could be a massive surge in AI usage, leading to higher energy and resource consumption. Instead of conserving, we may face even greater strain on infrastructure and the environment.
Why does this matter? Because AI is rapidly becoming essential across all industries — from healthcare to entertainment. Yet, greater accessibility can bring unintended consequences: from uncontrolled adoption to market disruptions caused by revaluations of industry leaders.
DeepSeek has already shaken the market: Nvidia’s stock is plummeting, and competitors are scrambling to adjust strategies. Nadella emphasizes that the future of AI isn’t just about innovation but also finding sustainable solutions.
What we’re witnessing isn’t just technological progress but an existential challenge for the entire AI industry. The real question isn’t whether we can make AI accessible to everyone — it’s what cost we’ll pay to achieve it.

This is a MUST-WATCH if you care about the future of crypto, and your holdings.
Marc Andreesen explains Operation Chokepoint 3.0, and how the SEC under Biden was attempting to KILL crypto, and DEBANK people getting involved in financial services / tech.
They are PROTECTING the huge banks.
This is the real cabal that is trying to ruin crypto.
I hope that this is OVER WITH when Trump gets in.

😎 Privacy and interoperability are two trends I’ve got my eye on in the blockchain space. They’re both necessary for Web3 to succeed and grow beyond a niche. However, they don’t always go together well.
Privacy is a basic right but it’s also necessary for business compliance and protecting users’ data. But interoperability is also vital to allow money and information to move around the blockchain ecosystem – and interoperability requires a degree of transparency.
There are some interesting solutions being developed that manage to tick both boxes. I hope they succeed: it would be truly game-changing to have a version of Web3 that offered both together.

🤖 The Cutest Robot Uprising Has Begun in Asia
In the middle of the night, a tiny robot made its way to the "adult" robots and asked if they had finished working.
When the little bot learned that the robots work nonstop and have no home, it invited them over, and... the robots all went somewhere together in unison.

🤖 The most humanoid robot, Ameca, showcases its chess skills.
The tabletop robots from Engineered Arts, created in 2021, are equipped with 32 actuators: 27 are dedicated solely to facial control, while 5 are for the neck. They are powered by the company's proprietary Tritium system.
To interact with humans, Ameca uses built-in microphones, binocular cameras in its eyes, a chest camera, and facial recognition software.
The creator noted that the video is staged, and in reality, Ameca is deliberately losing.

♥️ Moflin — A New Fluffy AI Robot for Cuddles
Casio has released a fluffy robotic pet named Moflin, resembling a cross between a hamster and a rabbit, designed for *stress relief therapy*. The toy creates an emotional, tactile connection through unique sounds and movements.
Over time, thanks to AI, the robot learns to recognize its owner by their voice and manner of interaction. The toy’s “emotions” can be tracked and customized through a mobile app.
Pre-orders are now open in Japan for the fluffy robot at a price of 59,400 yen or 38,500 rubles.

The AI startup Anthropic has released an updated version of its model, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which can interact with a computer like a human—moving the cursor, clicking buttons, and typing text.
Developers can leverage this capability to automate repetitive processes, create and test software, and perform other tasks. An API has been created to enable Claude to perceive and interact with computer interfaces.
A new AI model, Claude 3.5 Haiku, has also been introduced.

🤖 Brown University Introduces LIMP
This is a new approach that allows robots to follow instructions in real-world environments without pre-made maps.
To put it simply, previously, robots were provided with pre-existing information about the area. Brown University has proposed an alternative approach where no prior location data is needed. This greatly simplifies things for users, as they no longer have to spend time explaining what is located where.

🤖 The Polish startup MAB Robotics unveiled a robot dog named Honey Badger, which can briskly (and quite eerily!) walk even underwater.
The team believes it will be useful for search and rescue missions after disasters, as well as for inspecting flooded areas.
Looks like we can cross off yet another place to hide in case of a robot uprising.
