This guy got hit with an address poisoning scam and sent 1,155 Wrapped Bitcoin (~$70 million) to a wrong lookalike address on May 3, 2024. Instead of accepting defeat, he sent a message directly on the blockchain with an offer: “You won bro. Keep 10% ($7M) to yourself and get 90% ($63M) back. Then we’ll forget about that. We both know that 7m will definitely make your life better, but 70m won’t let you sleep well.” The scammer initially ignored the offer, converted most of the WBTC to ETH, and later returned nearly everything – about 22,960 ETH (~$65.7 million at the time) after negotiations.

🚨WE’RE GOING FROM 10 MILLION SCIENTISTS TO 10 BILLION. Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark told the IMF that the world is approaching an era of billions of virtual scientists powered by AI. Today, we have ~10 million scientists worldwide. Already, we lack enough researchers, laboratories, and scientific equipment to run all the experiments we need. Now imagine giving those 10 million humans 1 BILLION — or even 10 BILLION — virtual scientists to direct. Drug discovery. New energy sources. Breakthroughs in biology. More food. Longer, healthier lives. Scientific progress at a scale humanity has never experienced. And Clark believes the Singularity may have already begun: I believe that this year, we've gained convincing evidence that it [The Singularity] has now begun. You don’t have to believe we’ve entered the Singularity. Anthropic is already preparing for that world. 10 million scientists was the old limit. 10 billion virtual scientists could be the new beginning. By Blockipedia

🤔2008 Musk attended a Hollywood party where none of the social elites in attendance even gave him a proper glance. They kept interrupting Musk as he spoke. Someone asked, What’s the point of all this stuff you’re working on Another person said, Congress doesn’t even have the money to give you anyway. In the end, they even mocked Musk: You’ve been talking about rockets for ages, but you haven’t actually launched a single mission, have you? Once Musk finally managed to finish speaking, everyone couldn’t wait for the intermission and rushed off to the bathroom. At that time, both Tesla and SpaceX were on the brink of bankruptcy, and everyone thought he was a joke. No one knew that Musk’s story had only just begun. By Blockipedia
