    Bitcoin Stuck in Neutral, But This Gaming Token Is Going Parabolic

    While Bitcoin struggles to break out of a multi-month consolidation pattern, trading in the $90,000 zone with bearish charts intact, a different corner of crypto is absolutely ripping. GameFi tokens are posting double-digit gains this week, led by a stunning 131% weekly surge in Axie Infinity and a very solid bounce by The Sandbox. The broader market backdrop is wild. Gold pierced $4,900 per ounce for the first time ever on Thursday, while silver broke past $99—both metals hitting all-time high...

    Elon Musk’s Grok Generated 23K Sexualized Images of Children, Says Watchdog

    Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok produced an estimated 23,338 sexualized images depicting children over an 11-day period, according to a report released Thursday by the Center for Countering Digital Hate. The figure, CCDH argues, represents one sexualized image of a child every 41 seconds between December 29 and January 9, when Grok's image-editing features allowed users to manipulate photos of real people to add revealing clothing and sexually suggestive poses. The CCDH also reported that Grok gene...

    What Bubble? Nvidia CEO Says AI Needs Trillions More in Investments

    Jensen Huang wants you to know the AI industry isn't a bubble—despite looking like a bubble. At the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, the Nvidia CEO told BlackRock's Larry Fink that the infrastructure powering artificial intelligence needs "trillions of dollars" more investment over the coming years. The alternative? Ultimate failure. Huang framed AI as a "five-layer cake" that starts with energy at the bottom, then chips, cloud infrastructure, AI models, and finally applications at the t...

    Bitcoin, Solana Break Below Key Price Support: Here’s What the Charts Are Saying

    The crypto market is bleeding again. Total market capitalization sits at $3.01 trillion today, down 4.27% over the past 24 hours as Bitcoin and Solana both broke below critical support levels with decisive, heavy-bodied candles—the kind that leave little room for interpretation. On Myriad, the prediction market built by Decrypt's parent company Dastan, traders are recalibrating fast. The odds for Bitcoin pumping to $100,000 before dumping to $69,000 now stand at 72.5%—down sharply from 85% just...

    ChatGPT Is Getting Ads—Here's What to Expect

    Remember when Sam Altman said ads in AI were "uniquely unsettling" and a "last resort?" Well, a year and a half later, OpenAI is gearing up to roll out advertisements to ChatGPT. The company announced on Friday that it will start testing ads in the U.S. within weeks. Free users and subscribers to the new $8/month ChatGPT Go tier will see sponsored content at the bottom of responses. Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise remain ad-free. What changed Altman's mind? Probably money. Or rather, the lac...

    Bitcoin Slides as Crypto Markets Correct: Is the Golden Cross at Risk?

    The brief spark of optimism that lifted Bitcoin above $97,000 last week appears to be fizzling out. BTC was recently trading at $93,192, erasing the gains that had traders hoping for a potential trend reversal. The pullback comes amid a broader risk-off move across markets. President Trump's new tariffs on European nations over his administration’s pursuit of Greenland have spooked investors, sending capital rushing toward safe havens like gold, which hit a new record of $4,680 an ounce. The glo...

    Despite the Dip, Bitcoin Just Flashed Its Most Reliable Bullish Signal: Analysis

    For traders who study charts, there’s one “golden” pattern they love to see—and Bitcoin just flashed it, suggesting a recovery could be on the way. The rest of the crypto market, though, didn't get the memo. Over 95% of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap have posted losses in the past 24 hours, and the total crypto market has slipped to $3.23 trillion. Even Bitcoin today is down roughly 1.3%, despite the bullish “golden cross” formation being painted on the charts.  Traditional markets,...

    Baidu's ERNIE 5 AI Model Rises Up the Rankings—A Math Wiz That Beats OpenAI's GPT 5.1

    Chinese tech giant Baidu just updated it’s state-of-the-art AI model—and it’s apparently pretty good. The company's ERNIE-5.0-0110 scored 1,460 points on LMArena's Text leaderboard, landing at #8 globally and becoming the sole Chinese model to crack the platform's top 10. It ranked ahead of OpenAI's GPT-5.1-High and Google's Gemini-2.5-Pro. ERNIE v4.0 was released in 2023. ERNIE 5.0 also claimed the #2 spot globally for mathematical reasoning, trailing only the unreleased GPT-5.2-High. For a Chi...

    China's Z.AI Releases First Major AI Image Generation Model Trained Without American Chips

    Chinese artificial intelligence firm Z.AI on Wednesday released an open-source image generation model trained entirely on Huawei processors, marking the first time a major AI model has completed its full training cycle without relying on American hardware. The move highlights a potential long-term challenge to Nvidia’s dominance in AI chips, since it shows that one of China’s top AI companies can train large models without relying on U.S.-made GPUs. The model is already available for download on...

    Crypto Privacy Coins Are Going Nuts: Will It Last?

    Privacy coins haven't moved like this in years. Monero is up 54% on the week, Dash just posted a 39% single-day gain, and the entire privacy sector is suddenly outperforming every other niche in crypto. The question now is: Can it last? The catalyst appears simple on the surface: In late September of last year, traders’ attentions suddenly turned to the privacy coin Zcash, with trades as ZEC. Privacy coins, unlike standard cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, make it difficult if not impo...

    Coca-Cola keeps its secret formula locked inside a 10-foot vault at the World of Coca-Cola museum in Atlanta, complete with a keypad and hand-print scanner. The company has spent 139 years cultivating the mystique, claiming only two employees know the full recipe at any given time. YouTuber LabCoatz just blew past all that theater with some special hardware and about a year of obsessive testing.  The 25-minute video dropped January 9 and has already racked up 2.8 million views.

    Insiders Say DeepSeek V4 Will Beat Claude and ChatGPT at Coding, Launch Within Weeks

    DeepSeek is reportedly planning to drop its V4 model around mid-February, and if internal tests are any indication, Silicon Valley's AI giants should be nervous. The Hangzhou-based AI startup could be targeting a release around February 17—Lunar New Year, naturally—with a model specifically engineered for coding tasks, according to The Information. People with direct knowledge of the project claim V4 outperforms both Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's GPT series in internal benchmarks, particularl...

    Researchers just shrank autonomous robots down to the size of a speck of dust. And the robots can think—sort of. A team from the University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan built microscopic machines—200 by 300 by 50 micrometers, the size of a grain of salt—that swim through liquid, sense temperature changes, make decisions on their own, and operate for months at a time. Each one costs about a penny to produce. These little robots are fully autonomous. No wires, no magnetic fields, no...

    Crypto Market Cools as Bitcoin Stays Within Death Cross: Analysis

    That brief spike of hope in the crypto market? Probably gone. Bitcoin's trading around $90,600 after a quick trip above $93,000 earlier this week, and the broader crypto market's feeling the chill. The total market cap sits at $3.06 trillion—down about $35 billion, or 1.14%—and a quick scan of the top 100 coins shows 80% are underperforming today. So much for that New Year's resolution rally. The macro picture isn't exactly screaming "buy everything." Traditional markets are showing cracks. The...

    The European Commission just told Elon Musk what everyone already knew: creating sexualized images of children isn't "spicy." It's illegal. "We are aware of the fact that X or Grok is now offering a 'Spicy Mode' showing explicit sexual content with some output generated with childlike images," EU Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier said Monday at a Brussels press conference. "This is not spicy. This is illegal. This is appalling. This is disgusting. This has no place in Europe." The statement...

    Elon Musk's xAI is taking the maximalist free-speech line on content moderation, even as its chatbot, Grok, generates non-consensual deepfakes. Anyone can tag Grok under a photo on X with prompts like "put her in a bikini" or "remove her clothes." The AI generates a convincing deepfake in seconds, visible to anyone in the thread. No permission needed. “Elon Musk. How can Grok do this? This is highly inappropriate and uncomfortable, putting me in a bikini front and back,” Miss Teen Crypto, a fema...

    Bitcoin Close to Breaking Out of Death Cross: Here’s What That Means

    The new year has started off with a bang—and one that initially had nothing to do with crypto. When U.S. Delta Force operators dragged Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro out of his fortified compound in Caracas on January 3, financial markets erupted into chaos. Gold surged above $4,400 per ounce, the S&P 500 rallied on tech momentum, and Bitcoin—after spending weeks trapped in a suffocating range—finally broke free. Today's price action shows BTC trading at $93,958, up 2.69% on the day. But it...

    Emerge's 2025 Story of the Year: How the AI Race Fractured the Global Tech Order

    The great unraveling began with a single number: $256,000. DeepSeek, a year-old Chinese startup, claimed it spent that relatively small sum training an AI model that matched the capabilities of OpenAI—which spent over a hundred million dollars to get to the same place. When the app hit Apple's store in January, Nvidia lost $600 billion in a single trading day, which was the largest one-day wipeout in market history. The technical feat aside, DeepSeek’s efficiency breakthrough quickly ignited a g...
