Vitalik proposed a compromise between the two sides: a pre-arrangement to initiate a moratorium in case of extremes

On 11 July, Vitalik Buterin, a co-founder of the ETA, wrote about the AI super-smart controversy. He pointed out that there were two factions in the AI world: one believed that super-smarts were bound to come by 2040 and had to be controlled as soon as possible; the other believed that AI was just an ordinary technology and that the pause was to control humanity. Vitalik claims to be open to slowing down or suspending without knowing which side is right, but opposes the argument that large AI companies promote “open-source harmful” as being essentially a concentration of power. Vitalik offered a compromise: the parties could agree in advance to initiate the AI moratorium if certain extremes (such as super-epidemics, mass unemployment, etc.) actually occurred; if these did not occur, the other party would proceed with the other party ' s programme. He acknowledged that all responses were flawed and that human beings could only choose between “unperfect” and “unperfect”, but that defensive technologies such as form validation, cryptography and security hardware were worth advancing in both worlds。

AS THE MINUTES OF THE JUNE MEETING SHOWED, “A FEW” OFFICIALS FELT THAT THERE WAS REASON TO INCREASE THE INTEREST RATE LAST MONTH. SINCE THEN, THE SITUATION HAS BEEN MIXED, AS OIL PRICES AND INFLATION ARE EXPECTED TO FALL, BUT HAVE SINCE REBOUNDED IN PART, AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATES HAVE DECLINED FURTHER, NOT EXCLUDING DISSENTING VOTES IN SUPPORT OF THE INTEREST RATE HIKE AT THE JULY MEETING.

Analyst: Mei refires by nature around the Holmuze Strait

Less than a month after the signing of the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iraq on 11 July, there have been multiple rounds of attacks between the two sides, and confrontations have shown signs of warming, raising concerns about the breakdown of negotiations and even the resumption of fighting. According to analysts, the current military confrontation between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran continues to be essentially a game around the Strait of Hormuz, with both sides trying to gain more leverage for subsequent negotiations, but also with a realistic need to avoid a significant escalation of the conflict. In the future, the United States and Iran will interact or continue to have an “interchange of talks to promote them”. (In Russian)

The price of Shiba Inu eco-saving token remains to be verified

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has experienced a sharp decline of nearly 95 per cent since 2021, when it peaked at $0.00008616. Despite its impressive performance in the cattle market in 2021, it has performed poorly in recent years. The analysis indicated that the destruction of Vitalik Buterin ' s token currency was an important catalyst for the sharp rise in prices in 2021, but Shytoshi Kusama, the chief developer of SHIB, stated that destruction alone could not drive price increases and that the project needed to be adopted by more users. Shiba Inu launched the Shibarium 2nd floor network and Shibos to help businesses transition to Web3 and the meta-cosm, innovations that may attract more users in the future. The team is also developing a new destruction mechanism, with hundreds of billions of coins expected to be destroyed each year, which could lead to a recovery in the prices of SHIB。
