“… If you look at the current developments and discussions in the global economy and the so-called Big Techs of the social media industry, you should get an idea that Web3 technology, SmartContracts and Blockchain 2.0 are probably on the verge of a global breakthrough. Many individuals around the globe are already painting the darkest ghosts on the wall when it comes to Big Techs and social media platforms - but we are probably experiencing the last twitches of the Web2 world, represented by the panicking Big Tech bosses. Even if these people believe they can secure their supremacy as data octopuses for generations by abolishing fact checking, Web3 is here to stay. Their belief in Bitcoin shows that these same people don't want to grasp the inexorably emerging world of Blockchain 2.0 and the power of smart contracts. …”.

El Salvador - news from the self-declared "world′s coolest dictator and philosopher king", building the crypto gangster hub of the "Brave New World"?
Q&A Blog: El Salvador, Bitcoin, and Tether – What’s Happening? That is a lot more global influence for the self-described world’s coolest dictator and philosopher king. The blueprint for Javier Milei in Argentina ...? The entire scenario answered in eight questions!
Q1: What recent developments have occurred regarding President Nayib Bukele’s Bitcoin policies?
Two weeks ago, reports suggested that El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele was moderating his Bitcoin policies to secure an agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The changes included:
Q2: Why did the IMF push for these measures?
There are two main explanations:
Q3: How has El Salvador addressed these concerns?
El Salvador has improved its Bitcoin management significantly:
Q4: What challenges remain for El Salvador’s Bitcoin experiment?
While reforms have been made, issues persist:
Q5: What is Tether, and why is it moving its headquarters to El Salvador?
Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, announced on January 13 that it is relocating its global headquarters to El Salvador. Tether issues USDT, a stablecoin pegged 1-to-1 with the US dollar. The company holds approximately $125 billion in assets, including:
>>> $80 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds.
>>> $5 billion in Bitcoin.
>>> $5 billion in gold.
Tether’s annual profits rival the scale of El Salvador’s remittances and foreign reserves. Moving to El Salvador positions Tether as the country’s largest company and likely its largest taxpayer.
Q6: What are the risks and opportunities for El Salvador and Tether?
Opportunities for El Salvador:
Risks for El Salvador:
Opportunities for Tether:
Risks for Tether:
Q7: How could this relationship affect global crypto and financial dynamics?
If Tether gains significant influence over El Salvador, it could leverage this position to bolster its standing in the global financial system. Conversely, if Bukele exerts control over Tether, he could gain access to vast financial resources, potentially increasing his influence over international markets.
This evolving relationship raises questions about the balance of power between nation-states and private crypto entities, setting a precedent for future interactions.
Q8: What’s next for Bukele, Bitcoin, and Tether?
While Bukele’s moderation of Bitcoin policies signals a move towards pragmatic economic management, Tether’s relocation to El Salvador adds complexity. The country’s reliance on Tether’s success introduces a new layer of risk, making this partnership a critical factor for both El Salvador’s economy and Tether’s global strategy.

Microsoft vs. Google - the GenAI war is hot
?? Tech News Alert ??
Microsoft quietly scraps its controversial spoofed Google UI!
Earlier this month, searching “Google” on Bing brought up a page eerily similar to Google’s homepage—complete with a faux search bar, a doodle-like image, and even small text beneath the bar. The design even scrolled down slightly to hide Bing’s real search bar, tricking users into thinking they were on Google.
Reddit users caught wind of the misleading tactic, and just days later, Microsoft removed the fake UI. While Microsoft has declined to comment, Google had strong words. Parisa Tabriz, Chrome’s boss, called it “another tactic in [Microsoft’s] long history of tricks to confuse users & limit choice,” adding, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”
What are your thoughts? Clever marketing or crossing the line? Let us know!
how GenAI might change the job environment
Micro-Blog Quick Talk: Artificial intelligence is reshaping the job market at an unprecedented rate
As a result, there is also growing uncertainty about the impact it will have on companies and society as a whole.
From large specialized forums to small talk in project missions with iMB.Solutions, I hear the famous discussions that “we will be replaced by AI” or that “we won't be replaced by AI, but by people who know how to use AI.”
What will really happen?
According to the World Economic Forum, by 2025, 85 million jobs could be replaced by machines, while 97 million new positions more adapted to the division of labor between humans, machines and algorithms could emerge.
When we talk about AI vs. Jobs, we are leaving out the most important variable in this equation: companies.
Since the 2022 crisis, when more than 470,000 people were laid off (64% of these positions were in technology companies!!!), organizations have adopted strong discourses on cost reduction, increased efficiency and one-off hiring.
So the discourse isn't really about firing everyone and replacing them with machines (after all, layoffs have been happening for the last years), but rather how we can deliver more value with fewer people, in a scalable way.
That's where AI comes in, which not only allows one person to do the work of ten, but also helps the company to have more control over the work done and the return on its investment (ROI).
The discussion is about how, as employees, we can generate more value in our positions so that the company perceives us as a positive ROI - and how we can intelligently apply AI in our day-to-day work in order to keep up with the evolution of technology in our field.
To stay relevant in a market increasingly influenced by AI, professionals must invest in continuous learning, acquiring new skills and adapting to technological changes.

Bitcoin is a ugly thing
Bitcoin causes more CO2 than Austria
Calculated on an annual basis, the cryptocurrency network currently causes 90.93 million tons of CO2, according to an analysis by the crypto portal Digiconomist.
The cryptocurrency Bitcoin currently has a larger CO2 footprint than Austria and even twice as large as Switzerland. This is the result of an analysis by the crypto portal Digiconomist. Calculated on an annual basis, the cryptocurrency network currently causes 90.93 million tons of CO2. By comparison, Switzerland's greenhouse gas emissions recently amounted to around 45 million tons per year. In 2022, 72.8 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent were emitted in Austria. The reason for the emissions is the energy-guzzling blockchain technology in the background.
The Bitcoin network is based on blockchain technology. The challenge is to validate transactions on the blockchain in a forgery-proof manner. Until now, these systems have used the “proof of work” method. This involves solving complicated cryptographic puzzles. Whoever cracks the puzzle first is allowed to write the next entry in the blockchain and receives a reward in the form of Bitcoin. This process is also known as “mining” because it is used to “mine” new crypto coins. In mining, many players compete with each other, but only one ultimately wins. This is one of the reasons why this process consumes so much electricity. In many places, this also comes from fossil sources, which explains the high CO2 emissions.
According to Digiconomist, a single Bitcoin transaction currently generates as much CO2 as watching around 112,000 hours of YouTube videos - or processing 1.5 million credit card transactions.
Anthropic goes further
The Future of Virtual Assistance: Anthropic's Groundbreaking Developments
In the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, Anthropic has recently unveiled a revolutionary capability that promises to redefine how we interact with our computers. The latest iteration of their AI model, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, introduces a feature known as "computer use," which allows the AI to control computer interfaces in a manner akin to a human user. This development marks a significant leap forward in the realm of virtual assistants.
What is Computer Use?
Anthropic's computer use feature enables Claude 3.5 Sonnet to perform tasks on a computer by manipulating the mouse, keyboard, and navigating through applications. This capability is currently in public beta, allowing developers to experiment and provide feedback. The AI can now look at a screen, move a cursor, click buttons, and type text, effectively emulating a person sitting at a PC.
How Does It Work?
The process involves Claude interpreting what’s happening on a screen and using software tools to carry out tasks. For instance, if a developer instructs Claude to use a piece of software, the AI will analyze screenshots of the visible interface, calculate the necessary cursor movements, and execute the required actions. This ability to interact with any desktop application opens up a myriad of possibilities, from automating routine tasks to performing complex operations that previously required human intervention.
Real-World Applications
Several companies are already exploring the potential of this technology. For example, Replit is leveraging Claude's capabilities to develop features that evaluate apps during their development process. This kind of automation can significantly enhance productivity by handling tasks that involve multiple steps and require precision.
Safety and Precautions
While the potential of this technology is immense, Anthropic has emphasized the importance of safety. They recommend using dedicated virtual machines or containers with minimal privileges to prevent direct system attacks or accidents. Additionally, developers are advised to avoid giving the AI access to sensitive data and to limit internet access to a whitelist of domains. These precautions are crucial to mitigate risks associated with AI-driven computer use.
The Road Ahead
The introduction of computer use by Anthropic is a testament to the rapid advancements in AI technology. As this feature evolves, it is expected to become more refined and capable, paving the way for AI to take on more complex and varied tasks. This development not only enhances the functionality of virtual assistants but also brings us closer to a future where AI can seamlessly integrate into our daily workflows, making our interactions with technology more intuitive and efficient.
Anthropic's strides in AI-driven computer use are a clear indication that the future of virtual assistance is bright, with endless possibilities waiting to be explored.
