AI Can Detect Sarcasm With Help From ‘Friends’?—Yeah, Right!

In a breakthrough that could potentially save marriages, friendships, and countless misunderstandings, scientists say they have built an AI-powered sarcasm detection tool. A group of researchers from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands claim they have developed an AI system that can tell whether you’re being straight and serious, or deploying some sly, humorous wit. Their work was presented today at a meeting of the Acoustical Society of America in Ottawa, and combines text and voice...

Meme Coin Creator Said He Had No Hands, So He Couldn’t Rug—He Lied

A man claiming to have no hands started a live Twitch stream encouraging crypto users to invest in his Solana meme coin last weekend—because without hands, so he claimed, he was incapable of rug pulling the project and bailing with the proceeds. “I don’t have hands, I cannot rug you guys, chill,” the dev’s Twitch channel, NoHandsNoRug, proclaimed heavy-handedly. Can you guess what happened just three minutes into the stream? According to several attendees of the livestream, which occurred on Sun...

Monero-Backed Short Film Tackles Injustice on the Mexican-American Border

A Mexican teenager is lured into a web of cross-border crime with tragic consequences, in George Nicholas’ Monero-backed short film “Límite.” The film follows 16-year-old Manuel, whose desire to assert his independence and face down neighborhood toughs draws him out of his grandfather’s orbit and into the clutches of a cartel drug-running operation. Director George Nicholas was inspired by the case of Cruz Velazquez Acevedo, who died in U.S. custody after customs agents coerced him into drinking...

Bitcoin 'Epic Sat' That Sold for $2 Million Used to Inscribe Ordinals Art—With Grimes' AI Voice

A Bitcoin “epic satoshi,” or a particularly rare version of the smallest denomination of BTC, was sold for 33.3 BTC in April—around $2.1 million at the time. Now it has been used to inscribe an Ordinals asset with music and the AI-generated voice of Canadian electronic pop artist Grimes (aka Claire Boucher). An “epic satoshi,” or “epic sat,” is an extremely rare satoshi—that is, 1/100,000,000 of a BTC—that is generated during each Bitcoin halving. The quadrennial event cuts the amount of Bitcoin...

Tom Brady Ridiculed for FTX and Crypto Investments in Netflix Roast

Star NFL quarterback Tom Brady took a lot of flak for his crypto investments during a 3-hour live Netflix comedy roast on Sunday. "The Roast of Tom Brady," which was recorded and is still available to watch on the streaming platform, featured a number of pointed jokes about Brady's affinity for Bitcoin and his ties to bankrupt crypto exchange FTX. And it didn't take long for the crypto jokes to show up, either. Within the first five minutes of the comedy special, host and comedian Kevin Hart add...

Moonbirds Copyright Controversy Exposes Flaws in Crypto's IP Obsession

It’s not much of a secret: When NFTs broke out as a coherent asset class in 2021, their value proposition was, chiefly, rampant speculation. Since then, NFT projects have spent untold millions attempting to pivot their brands towards more serious-sounding, sustainable futures; most opted to go all-in on the ephemeral, provocative concept of intellectual property, or IP.  It has never been resolved, however, what exactly IP means in such a context, nor to what extent NFT projects can bestow IP ri...
