๐Ÿช™ Meme tokens and NFTs are nothing more than digital junk with no intrinsic value, according to the creator of the Solana blockchain.

Anatoly Yakovenko compared meme tokens and NFTs to loot boxes in mobile games, emphasizing their lack of fundamental worth. He noted that consumers spend around $150 billion annually on such game mechanics.

Notably, a significant portion of todayโ€™s so-called โ€œshitcoinsโ€ are issued on the Solana blockchain itself.

โš–๏ธ Sam Altman has stated that personal conversations with AI โ€” such as those in ChatGPT โ€” could be used in court. Unlike discussions with real therapists or lawyers, these interactions are not currently protected by law.

He emphasized that more and more people are turning to ChatGPT as a personal assistant or even a โ€œtherapist,โ€ but such conversations lack legal confidentiality.

Altman believes there is an urgent need to create a new kind of โ€œprivilegeโ€ for AI interactions โ€” similar to attorney-client or doctor-patient confidentiality โ€” to ensure user privacy. For now, if a legal request arises, OpenAI could be required to provide access to these chats, even if the user has already deleted them.

Qubic calls it an economic experiment with no malicious intent, but analysts view the approach as a serious threat. In response, the Monero community has rallied around the supportxmrโ€คcom pool, which now controls 33.5% of the network's hashrate.
