1/ Millions in bad debt, at the time of writing, were created across Gauntlet's Morpho vaults from the Resolv USR exploit. Almost all of it was supplied ** after ** the exploit. So why would curators supply millions in USDC to a broken market? Letβs dive in.
the underpriced outcome is that the AI's simply don't care. MPP? x402? AP2? these things are better software devs than the guys even writing the payment protocols they're singularly going to be driven by consumer preference which will come down to price in 99% of instances (citrini mode) The winning protocol will be whomever can be the most chinese; lie, cheat, steal, ship, and drive price//friction as low as humanly possible
Today, we are officially opening the capability to integrate #OpenClaw into #Weixin. With the launch of the #WeixinClawBot, users can use Weixin as a dedicated messaging channel for OpenClaw. Now, you can send and receive messages with OpenClaw just like texting a friend. #AIAutomation #AI
Refik Anadolβs work frequently employs terms like βfluid dynamics,β βlatent space,β and βalgorithmic brushstrokes,β which give the viewer a false sense of intellectual depth. But the reality is this: these terms often serve to mask the artistβs aesthetic choices behind a faΓ§ade of scientific authority. When the artist says, βI am visualizing bird sounds recorded in a forest,β the viewer is led to believe that the resulting image is a natural and objective representation of those sounds. However, as discussed earlier, the direction of the flow or the choice of color is entirely arbitrary. In a scientific experiment, input A should consistently produce output B, or at least the relationship should be demonstrable. Here, however, input A (bird sound) can be transformed into color C or motion D depending on the artistβs mood that morning. This is not an experiment; it is simply decoration. Phrases like βartificial intelligence is dreamingβ or βdata sculptureβ mystify technical processes. Calling a pixel-generation process based on statistical probabilities βdreamingβ is nothing more than presenting a basic mathematical regression as something magical. This causes the work to derive its power not from its own aesthetics, but from the βcoolnessβ of science and technology. If we were to replace the bird sounds with the sound of a vacuum cleaner using the same βmappingβ settings, we would still obtain a βmesmerizingβ visual. In other words, the beauty of the image does not come from the essence of the data, but entirely from the artistβs graphics engine. In this context, extracting data from bird sounds is not a technical necessity, but rather a storytelling deviceβa marketing element of the project. Wrapping data in a scientific veneer reinforces the illusion that the work is βmeaningful.β But once this illusion dissolves, what remains is merely a high-resolution βscreensaver.β Real science uses data to understand reality; this kind of βart,β by contrast, uses data merely as spectacle. Instead of saying, βI shaped this data according to my own will and created something beautiful,β the artist claims: βThrough scientific algorithms, I revealed the hidden architecture of the data.β This rhetoric is nothing more than putting on a mask of scientific authority to influence the viewer. This form of pseudo-scientific framing is monetized; data is dramatized, the viewer is drawn into a sense of technological awe, and reality is obscured through spectacle.
