๐Ÿค– 22 countries back call to keep AI โ€˜under human controlโ€™

Several European countries were among a group of 22 nations that adopted a declaration Monday saying that AI โ€œmust remain under human direction, oversight and controlโ€ and suggesting to create a global supervisory regime.

The declaration, adopted on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly this week, acknowledged AIโ€™s โ€œpotential to improve lives, advance science and strengthen our economiesโ€ but warned that โ€œthe rapid development of frontier AI models poses serious risks to safety and security if not appropriately managed.โ€

Neither the U.S. nor China are part of the new declaration.

๐Ÿช Pioneer Labs Takes Its First Step Toward Terraforming Mars

With equipment that fits into a single rocket launch, Martian dirt, water, and air can be transformed into enough building materials to construct a small city.

The breakthrough: the first microbe designed for Mars. Pioneer Labs identified a highly capable microbe on Earth and used evolution to teach it to source all the nutrients it needs directly from Martian materials. ๐Ÿš€

One day, the first astronauts could arrive to find safe shelters already stocked with water, oxygen, and rocket fuel for the journey home. This marks a first step toward using biology to make Mars more habitable โ€” living off the land while building the next great frontier.

And itโ€™s only the first of five organisms needed to green Mars.

๐Ÿค– Elon Musk Predicts โ€œUniversal High Incomeโ€ in a Future of Personal Robots

โ€œI think everyone would like to have a future where they can have their own personal robots. And then I think you'll see many companies where it's one person with hundreds, maybe thousands of robots. Like physical robots as well as digital robots.

So the productivity of one person will be greatly amplified. And my prediction is that there will be effectively universal high income. In fact, it's not clear to me that money will even matter in the future,โ€ โ€” Musk said.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Digital Ruble Becomes a Full-Fledged Payment Instrument, Putin Says

The digital ruble became a full-fledged payment instrument following its mass rollout on September 1, 2026, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin. 36 Russian banks are now connected to the digital ruble platform, with nearly 200,000 accounts already opened by citizens.

โ€œThe launch of the digital ruble went according to plan. This is an event we have prepared for very carefully. Citizens and businesses now have a new additional tool for making payments and settlements. In essence, our country now has all the components of a national payment infrastructure,โ€ โ€” said Bank of Russia Governor Elvira Nabiullina.


โ—๏ธThe Bank of Russia plans to expand the functionality of the digital ruble platform. In the future, it could also be used for cross-border payments, Nabiullina added.

๐Ÿ”˜The Bank of Russia plans to expand its functionality, including direct cash withdrawals from ATMs, and digital ruble accounts for people aged 14โ€“18 by the end of 2027.

๐Ÿ”˜The original concept of the digital ruble included the possibility of making offline payments. The Bank of Russia said a corresponding pilot project is planned for 2027.

๐Ÿ”˜The Bank of Russia is also considering a pilot around 2029 that would allow digital ruble accounts to be held on commercial banksโ€™ balance sheets, potentially enabling banks to offer deposits and loans linked to digital rubles.

๐Ÿค‘ XRP Ledger retries upgrade that lets banks split payment and compliance duties

An XRP Ledger account could soon let another account make payments or approve customers on its behalf without handing over the keys that control everything else.

โ—๏ธThe feature, called PermissionDelegationV1_1, entered a 14-day activation countdown on Sept. 21 after 29 of the networkโ€™s 35 trusted validators backed it. It could go live on Oct. 5 at 11:18 UTC if support remains at or above 80% throughout the period, according to the live amendment dashboard.

The upgrade could make the XRP Ledger more appealing as decentralized layer 1 infrastructure for institutional payments by allowing stablecoin issuers, custodians and other businesses to separate routine operations from the keys that secure their accounts.

That would let compliance and payment systems perform narrowly defined tasks without giving them broad authority over an issuerโ€™s assets. ๐Ÿš€

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US Prepares Plan for 90-Day Diesel Export Ban

The Trump administration is preparing a plan to ban exports of diesel for 90 days, despite splits inside the administration and with the oil industry, in a bid to bring down energy prices. The legal process for such a ban remains unclear, though President Donald Trump is inclined to put a ban forward by weekโ€™s end.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ›ฐ China puts AI compute into orbit with Supercomputing-1 satellite

China has launched 9 satellites โ€” including its first integrated โ€œrocket and satelliteโ€ AI computing project โ€” as part of its push to put AI computing in orbit. The Kinetica 1 Y18 rocket, operated by Chinese commercial launch provider CAS Space, lifted off on September 20, carrying the nine satellites to their planned orbits.

The payload of greatest interest is the โ€œSupercomputing-1โ€ satellite. Also known as the S-AIDC-1, the satellite is designed to capture and process Earth-observation data in orbit instead of sending data back to terrestrial data centers. Keeping the processing local is meant to cut cross-regional data processing times from hours to minutes. The satellite features both a high-res optical payload and the image-processing AI computer.

๐Ÿง  Elon Musk on Neuralink in his new interview with CCTV:

โ€œBiological enhancement with Neuralink. We want to try to solve the bandwidth constraint that humans have. Even in the most benign scenario where the AI is super friendly and wants to do everything it wants to make you happy, our rate of communication is too slow.

So, the peak human bandwidth is only about 100 bits per second, roughly. Our input bandwidth is much higher because of vision, you know, a megabit per second or a few megabits per second from our eyes, which are affected by cameras. But our output bandwidth is really low.

Computers are communicating at a trillion bits per second. Anything we can do to increase the communication speed of humans will improve, I think, the alignment of humans and machines, because otherwise to an AI that is communicating at a terabit a second, talking to a human will be like talking to a tree.โ€

๐Ÿค– AI agents will soon buy their own computing power and data using stablecoins, according to BlackRock

AI could be one of the biggest drivers for digital asset adoption as autonomous agents begin buying services, moving money and sourcing computing power, according to a BlackRock paper.

The asset manager argues that AI provides โ€œmachine-native intelligenceโ€ while digital assets provide the payment and settlement infrastructure agents may need to act on their decisions. An agent carrying out a task could, for example, pay for a data request, book a service or purchase computing capacity without waiting for a person to to complete.

Stablecoins are likely to be the first major beneficiary. Their relatively stable value makes them useful for pricing services, while blockchain networks can support payments around the clock. BlackRock highlights Coinbase x402 protocol as one emerging way agents to pay for online resources, including API calls. It also acknowledges that existing payments networks are adapting to agentic commerce.

๐Ÿค‘ Spectra is now live on Stellar with several markets facilitated by the orderbook!

Spectra is the first yield tokenization protocol on the Stellar network. It can support a wide range of assets issued on Stellar, from the popular ones to the expanding RWA sector.

๐Ÿ”œ One of the first markets is deJTRSY, the Janus Henderson treasury fund tokenized by Centrifuge. The order book underpins this deployment, bringing efficiency to the Spectra protocol and positioning it for further growth, no longer bound to the AMM Curve.

๐Ÿ”œ One can post a limit order straight from a wallet at whatever rate they want, and it just sits there until someone takes it. No price impact at any size and nothing gets locked up while the order rests in the book.

โ—๏ธMarket creation becomes much easier with the OB in place.

โ€œRWAs are a big part of Stellar's direction, with the DTCC connecting its tokenization service to the network next year. Fixed-term markets fit that direction. Great to see Spectra positioned for this,โ€ โ€” Gaspard Peduzzi, Co-founder of Spectra, said.


The deployment brings fixed-income markets to Stellar assets, traded through an order book. Yield that already accrues on the network becomes tradable at a rate its holder sets.

๐Ÿงฌ Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats

Many discoveries that have revolutionized biology and medicine started with a scientist noticing something odd in the staggering diversity of molecular machines found in nature. CRISPR was first noticed as an unusual repeat sequence in the DNA of certain bacteria, and is now the foundation of gene editing-based medicines.

Claude has discovered a previously unknown enzyme system hidden in the DNA of bacteriophages. Beside the enzymeโ€™s gene sits a long array of repeating DNA โ€” a structure that looks somewhat similar to CRISPR.

The system that Claude found is based on a reverse transcriptase (RT), enzymes that copy RNA into DNA. While this underlying RT, found in a jumbo phage, had been identified in previous studies, Claude appears to be the first to notice the systemโ€™s defining features โ€” an associated array of non-coding DNA sequences and an additional accessory protein of unknown function.

โ€œThis is an exciting example of how AI agents can contribute to biological discovery. The identification of RNA-repeat arrays associated with reverse transcriptases is genuinely intriguing and merits further investigation.

I hope this work encourages more scientists to explore how AI can support their research,โ€ โ€” Feng Zhang, one of the pioneers of CRISPR genome editing and a professor at MIT and the Broad Institute said.

๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธUS Weighs Initiative to Promote Dollar-Backed Stablecoin Abroad

The Trump administration is considering an initiative to promote the use of dollar-denominated stablecoins overseas in a bid to reinforce the greenbackโ€™s status as the worldโ€™s reserve asset.

Stablecoin projects
are among the areas the US government is considering supporting by creating joint ventures with private sector firms, with the aim of maintaining the US dollarโ€™s currency preeminence and boosting demand for US Treasuries.

Stablecoin issuers typically hold reserves backing their tokens in cash and short-term government debt. The effort could stretch across multiple federal agencies, including the Treasury Department and the State Department. The US International Development Finance Corp. could also be involved.
