Meta’s move is a big gamble. The last three years, they have put billions to work buying companies, hiring talent and funding research and development. The goal of the tech superpower America’s corporate elite built is superintelligence AI. They’re out to win the “next interface” through voice-driven experiences, immersive metaverse...
Meta's dropping billions on AI. $29 billion, to be exact. Let’s face it, that’s not pocket change, it’s a testament. But what does it all mean for the metaverse? Is Zuck just following a shiny new object, or has he really discovered the secret ingredient to unlocking its potential? I...
Are you really you in the Metaverse? It’s a question that honestly haunts my thoughts at night, and quite frankly, should be causing you to lose sleep as well. We're so busy chasing the shiny objects – the VR headsets, the NFTs, the virtual land – that we're forgetting the...
Imagine this: You wake up one morning to find your bank account drained. An AI-powered deepfake impersonating your face just convinced your bank’s customer service agent to approve a $250,000 wire transfer. This wasn’t the work of an unknown nefarious hacker from a distant country. Sounds like science fiction? Think...
Today, Casper, a layer-1 blockchain that launched in early 2021, is making inroads with enterprises and the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. The blockchain emphasizes scalability, security, and flexibility. Casper stands out with emphasis on practical use cases and enterprise-grade tokenomics. This new approach is the one currently generating the most...
To be frank, when I first learned about Kai XR, my DeFi-trained cynicism was already set in reaction mode. Another metaverse play promising to revolutionize education? Sounds like a movie we’ve all been to before — only with more expensive headsets. The ghosts of Second Life continue to wander the...
Imagine being able to purchase a piece of virtual real estate in the metaverse with the click of a button. It’s as simple as that! You put on your VR helmet and enter your new pixelated paradise. A few quick presses of your controller and you complete the transaction. Using...

This digital wallet is envisioned as a secure and convenient way for citizens to access public services, verify their identity, and...
A measly £9,166. That's all it took. That's the price tag for Hippo Digital to start poking around the UK Ministry of Defence's (MoD) identity systems. Now, I'm not saying this is some grand conspiracy, but doesn't it make you just a little uneasy? Interestingly enough, Hippo Digital recently received...
The cryptocurrency industry is currently going through a deep paradigm shift. Regulatory clarity is growing, enforcement actions are changing, and institutional interest is increasing. Recent developments across the globe signal a maturing market, with jurisdictions refining their approaches to digital assets and seeking to balance innovation with risk management. Read...
Remember the early days of the internet? Wild West, right? That’s how DeFi seemed just a few years ago. “Rug pulls” started entering the broader crypto lexicon. That’s starting to change and for the better. We know regulation can be a buzzkill but it’s the only way to find out...
The crypto world loves a good narrative, and Humanity Protocol's H token is dripping with one: a fairdrop revolution. Yet the promise is unmistakable. We will fight to reclaim airdrops from the arms of the bot armies and restore them to actual, live human beings. The method? Palm scans. Yes,...
A billion-dollar valuation for the ability to palm scan? No joke. While everyone’s chasing the next crypto unicorn, I can’t shake the feeling we're blindly galloping towards a future where our bodies are the ultimate key – and the ultimate target. Humanity Protocol’s H token has skyrocketed, partially fueled by...
It’s that same sort of exuberance you felt when you first heard about the metaverse. The fulfillment of digital utopia, being in touch with everyone on planet Earth through expansive online metaverses, creating prosperous virtual societies? It sounded revolutionary. Now, look at Horizon Worlds. Clunky avatars, digital tumbleweeds, and a...
Zuckerberg wants AGI. Personal superintelligence, he calls it. An AI that essentially runs your life. Sounds convenient, right? Maybe. But let's be brutally honest: entrusting the keys to your existence to a single, centralized entity – especially one with Zuckerberg's track record – is a recipe for disaster. Well, it’s...
Just as Mark Zuckerberg made headlines with a big pivot to the now overly-hyped Metaverse, he’s undertaking another big pivot. He’s recently been exploring the thrilling worlds of AI and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). After the hype and billions of dollars, Meta’s Metaverse projects—especially Horizon Worlds—have found difficulty in attracting...
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, is currently navigating a complex path, attempting to redefine his public image and position himself as a leading figure in the burgeoning field of artificial intelligence.
