ChainCatcher news, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed a controversial artificial intelligence bill SB 1047, stating that the bill would hinder innovation and fail to protect the public from the "real" threats posed by this technology.The bill, titled the "Frontier Artificial Intelligence Model Safety and Innovation Act," faced strong opposition from Silicon Valley. It proposed mandatory safety testing for AI models and other safeguards, which tech companies feared would stifle innovation.In a statement on September 29, Newsom said, "While the intentions are good," it could impose unnecessary restrictions on California's emerging AI companies. The bill focuses too much on regulating existing top AI companies without protecting the public from the "real" threats of new technologies. "On the contrary, the bill even adopts strict standards for the most basic functionalities—whenever a large system deploys it. I don't think this is the best way to protect the public from the real threats posed by this technology."

ChainCatcher message, Zhao Changpeng posted on the X platform stating that the food tastes amazing, and being able to eat more than one piece of fruit every day is truly a luxury. I want to thank everyone for their support. This means a lot to me and helps me stay strong during my darkest moments.Some quick updates/thoughts: Giggle Academy is progressing well and will become an important part of my life in the coming years. I will continue to invest in blockchain/decentralized technology, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. I am a long-term investor, focused on impact rather than returns. I will also dedicate more time and resources to charity (and education). I have some rough ideas. I am still writing my book. I think I am about 2/3 finished. Writing the book is much more challenging than I expected, but I will persevere.

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated in a social media post, "As I mentioned in a post earlier this year.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Macquarie, the Australian multinational investment bank, has given "outperform" ratings to several Bitcoin mining companies including MARA, Riot Platforms, Core Scientific, CleanSpark, and Cipher Mining. Analysts believe these companies are shifting focus from cryptocurrency to artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) models.Macquarie analysts Paul Golding and Emma Liang noted that in recent years, Bitcoin mining businesses have become increasingly diversified, a trend that has accelerated following Bitcoin's fourth halving in April this year. Some mining companies view their unique power resource advantages as opportunities to diversify into non-crypto-related hosting businesses, while others focus on accumulating Bitcoin assets.

ChainCatcher news, according to Xinhua News Agency, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued opinions on implementing a priority employment strategy to promote high-quality and full employment. The opinions propose to prevent and resolve major risks. Establish and improve a statistical monitoring system for high-quality and full employment, establish an employment position survey system, and conduct assessments of high-quality and full employment in a timely manner. Improve the mechanism for preventing and resolving large-scale unemployment risks, strengthen monitoring and early warning, policy reserves, and emergency response. In areas with conditions, employment risk reserve funds may be established to properly respond to major risks in the employment sector. Actively respond to the impact of the rapid development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence on employment.

ChainCatcher message, analysts at the research and brokerage firm Bernstein believe that cryptocurrency micropayments are key to avoiding bottlenecks in the AI financial economy. The analysts stated that the real bottleneck in the AI financial economy is the current financial system's inability to effectively handle micropayments. AI agents may need to make very small, frictionless payments, such as for consuming data or content. However, due to the complexity of the technology and human involvement, transaction costs in traditional systems are very high, making this approach uneconomical. To meet the demands of the AI economy, the financial system needs to continuously evolve to enable seamless, low-cost micropayments that align with the consumption patterns of AI agents. This is where cryptocurrencies come into play.

ChainCatcher news, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated that the future of artificial intelligence may involve more optimization of corporate structures rather than a robot uprising.Amodei recently discussed the future of AI during an interview on the Econ 102 podcast, covering various aspects including military applications of AI and the replacement of human workers by more efficient machines. Amodei talked about internal efforts within the company to develop efficient hierarchical structures to accomplish tasks through a network of AI models. The current idea seems to involve a collective of AIs capable of networking to complete specific tasks. The basic premise will involve "large models orchestrating smaller models."Amodei added that larger models would create hundreds of smaller, faster, and more efficient models to perform tasks. He used the analogy of worker bees supporting the queen bee, but what he described sounds very much like typical corporate infrastructure. It points out that the benefits of this design could mean that end users at every level can access the specific functionalities they need through a simple user interface.
