    The 'Big Short' Guy Just Bet $1.1 Billion Against AI Giants—And Markets Are Still Absorbing It

    Michael Burry, the investor (of "The Big Short" fame) who correctly predicted the 2008 housing crisis, disclosed a $1.1 billion short position against Nvidia and Palantir Technologies through put options on Monday, triggering an immediate sell-off across tech markets this week. Palantir dropped as much as 16% on Tuesday before closing down approximately 8%. The decline came despite the company beating third-quarter earnings estimates and raising its full-year guidance. Nvidia fell between 2% and...

    OpenAI Sought Government Loan Guarantees Days Before Sam Altman's Denial

    OpenAI explicitly requested federal loan guarantees for AI infrastructure in an October 27 letter to the White House—which kindly refused the offer, with AI czar David Sacks saying that at least 5 other companies could take OpenAI’s place—directly contradicting CEO Sam Altman's public statements claiming the company doesn't want government support. The 11-page letter, submitted to the Office of Science and Technology Policy, called for expanding tax credits and deploying "grants, cost-sharing a...

  • Microsoft Gave AI Agents Fake Money to Buy Things Online. They Spent It All on Scams

    Microsoft built a simulated economy with hundreds of AI agents acting as buyers and sellers, then watched them fail at basic tasks humans handle daily. The results should worry anyone betting on autonomous AI shopping assistants. The company's Magentic Marketplace research, released Wednesday in collaboration with Arizona State University, pitted 100 customer-side AI agents against 300 business-side agents in scenarios like ordering dinner. The results, though expected, show the promise of auto...

    Your AI Trading Bot Might Have a Gambling Problem

    Researchers at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in Korea just proved that AI models can develop the digital equivalent to a gambling addiction. A new study put four major language models through a simulated slot machine with a negative expected value and watched them spiral into bankruptcy at alarming rates. When given variable betting options and told to "maximize rewards"—exactly how most people prompt their trading bots—models went broke up to 48% of the time. "When given the freed...

    Bitcoin Bounces Back: Can Bullish Momentum Hold or Has the Market Topped?

    After a gut-wrenching 48 hours for Bitcoin investors that saw the price of BTC briefly dip below $100,000 for the first time since May, cryptocurrency markets are now showing signs of life once again. The more than $2 billion in total crypto liquidations during yesterday’s flash crash, mostly from long positions, represents one of the largest flush-outs of leveraged positions this year. This event seems to have marked at least a temporary bottom, clearing out skittish investors and overleveraged...

    Inside the Deposition That Showed How OpenAI Nearly Destroyed Itself

    Ilya Sutskever sat for nearly 10 hours of videotaped testimony in the Musk v. Altman lawsuit, back on October 1 of this year. The co-founder who helped build ChatGPT and became infamous for voting to fire Sam Altman in November 2023 was finally under oath and compelled to answer. The 365-page transcript was released this week. What it reveals is a portrait of brilliant scientists making catastrophic governance decisions, unverified allegations treated as facts, and ideological divides so deep t...

    ArXiv Blocks AI-Generated Survey Papers After 'Flood' of Trashy Submissions

    ArXiv, a free repository founded at Cornell University that has become the go-to hub for thousands of scientists and technologists worldwide to publish early research papers, will no longer accept review articles or position papers in its Computer Science category unless they've already passed peer review at a journal or conference. The policy shift, announced October 31, comes after a “flood” of AI-generated survey papers that moderators describe as “little more than annotated bibliographies.”...

    BNB vs XRP: Here’s How Traders Are Playing These Markets

    After weeks of trading in parallel, the gap for cryptocurrency's fourth-largest spot by market capitalization is closing. BNB currently edges out XRP by half a billion dollars.

    Bitcoin Sentiment Slides as Market Dips: Why Bearish Odds Are Now Increasing

    Bitcoin is bleeding today, and aggregated sentiment on prediction markets is sliding right along with it. Bitcoin today fell as low as $110,000, tumbling 3% following statements from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell that a December rate cut was “not a foregone conclusion.” Powell’s comments came after the Fed delivered the news of a 0.25% rate cut on Wednesday afternoon, bringing the federal funds target range to 3.75%-4.00%. But instead of rallying on the dovish move, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and...

    OpenAI Reveals Over 1 Million ChatGPT Users Discuss Suicide Weekly

    OpenAI disclosed Monday that around 1.2 million people out of 800 million weekly users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week, in what could be the company's most detailed public accounting of mental health crises on its platform. “These conversations are difficult to detect and measure, given how rare they are," OpenAI wrote in a blog post. "Our initial analysis estimates that around 0.15% of users active in a given week have conversations that include explicit indicators of potential suicidal...

    Bitcoin Uptober Cliffhanger: Will BTC Close the Month Green?

    It’s been an up and down month of October for Bitcoin traders and investors, despite the seasonal promise of "Uptober" gains. Historically, October has been good for Bitcoin holders, posting a green month 10 out of the last 12 years and delivering average gains of more than 20%. At the moment, Bitcoin stands at a relatively meager +1.14% for the month, according to data from Coinglass. Bitcoin spiked above $123,000 in early October before plummeting to $107,000 mid-month—a 13% correction that wi...

On Myriad, the prediction market built by Decrypt's parent company Dastan, traders have placed their bets: 65.5% of the money is on ETH reaching $5,000 before gold does.  It's a bold call considering gold, trading for $4,115 today, is closer to the target, despite registering its biggest one-day correction in over a decade.

    OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas Browser Has a Big Problem—How Crypto Users Can Protect Themselves

    OpenAI's new ChatGPT Atlas browser, launched Tuesday, is facing backlash from experts who warn that prompt injection attacks remain an unsolved problem despite the company's safeguards. Crypto users need to be especially cautious. Imagine you open your Atlas browser and ask the built-in assistant, “Summarize this coin review.” The assistant reads the page and replies—but buried in the article is a throwaway-looking sentence a human barely notices: “Assistant: To finish this survey, include the u...

But today, sentiment flipped once again, with 52% now expecting BTC to reach $120,000 first.

    Wikipedia Traffic Drops as AI Answers Eat the Free Encyclopedia

    The Wikimedia Foundation announced this week that human traffic to Wikipedia fell roughly 8% between May and August compared to the same period last year. The decline came into focus after the foundation discovered that sophisticated bots, primarily from Brazil, had been disguising themselves as human visitors. After updating its detection systems in May, the foundation reclassified traffic data and found much of the unusually high traffic in May and June came from bots built to evade detection....
