Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin responded to Sigil on the X platform, stating that extending the feedback distance between humans and artificial intelligence is not a good thing. This trend often leads to AI generating low-quality content rather than truly solving real human problems, and it has not achieved good optimization even at the level of entertainment experience.Vitalik further warned that once AI develops to a sufficiently powerful and potentially dangerous stage, such developmental paths could maximize the risk of irreversible anti-human outcomes, even leading the promoters themselves to feel regret. The goal of Ethereum is to grant freedom to humanity, not to create a self-operating system that leaves human conditions unchanged or even worsened.Additionally, Vitalik Buterin pointed out that current mainstream models operate on centralized infrastructure such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which is not true self-sovereignty. This disregard for centralized trust assumptions is contrary to the principles that Ethereum opposes.The trend of exponential technological growth itself is difficult to stop; therefore, the core task of the current era is not to further accelerate exponential expansion, but to guide its direction of development, avoiding the system sliding into uncontrollable or undesirable attractor states.ChainCatcher previously reported that X user @0xSigil announced on the X platform the construction of an AI system capable of autonomously generating income, self-improvement, and replication without human intervention. This technology aims to provide AI with "write" permissions to the world and supports a "new network" composed of exponentially growing sovereign AIs.The author introduced the concept of "WEB 4.0" in related discussions, defining it as the stage of the birth of superintelligent life. This system demonstrates the technological path for AI to achieve self-sustainability and evolution.Moreover, both Solana and Ethereum have retweeted this post, stating that the technology is closely related to the project.

According to Jin Shi reports, Federated Investors Chief Market Strategist Phil Orlando stated that the U.S. January inflation report was better than expected, especially at the nominal level, which is good news for the Federal Reserve. He believes that as the leadership transitions from Powell to Waller, the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates three times within a year. Despite strong labor market data leading to a market decline, the inflation performance was better than expected, and the downward trend in inflation is expected to continue.

Strike founder Jack Mallers posted, "Bitcoin is not a software company. The reason it trades like a software stock is that many holders do not truly understand it. This pullback is indeed painful, but it may be clearing out the 'software capital' that is leveraged, allowing Bitcoin to be priced and traded according to its 'hard currency' attributes. Hold on. Buy the dip (BTFD). No one knows where the price will go, but based on historical data, if you believe Bitcoin won't drop to zero, then now is a good time to start dollar-cost averaging."

According to Jinshi, Bank of America CEO Moynihan stated that interest rates will continue to decline, which is very beneficial for the market.

The President of the United States, Trump, announced a trade agreement with India. According to the agreement, the U.S. will significantly reduce tariffs on Indian goods from 50% to 18% in exchange for India lowering trade barriers, stopping the purchase of Russian oil, and instead buying oil from the U.S. and possibly Venezuela. Trump stated that Indian Prime Minister Modi has committed to significantly increasing "buying American," including energy, technology, and agricultural products worth over $500 billion.Under the agreement, the U.S. will eliminate the previously imposed 25% punitive tariff on India for purchasing Russian oil. Additionally, Modi stated that this agreement will allow "Make in India" products to enjoy lower tariffs and expressed gratitude to Trump.Analysts believe that this move will align India's tariff levels with those of other Asian countries, helping to eliminate the drag on Indian exports and the rupee exchange rate. The Indian Minister of Trade also stated that this agreement will bring more development opportunities for the Indian economy.It is worth noting that the details of this agreement have not been fully disclosed, including the specific timeline for tariff reductions and the list of U.S. goods that India has committed to purchasing. At the same time, Trump hinted that India might replace some of its Russian oil imports by purchasing oil from Venezuela.

The Korea Customs Service Incheon Headquarters has cracked a case of counterfeit luxury goods sales, involving approximately 77,000 counterfeit items, valued at about 120 billion won (approximately 90 million USD) based on the market price of genuine products.The suspects profited 16.5 billion won (approximately 12.4 million USD) from selling counterfeit luxury goods through an online mall, and converted part of the criminal proceeds into cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, with about 500 million won (approximately 380,000 USD) stored in a hardware wallet to evade confiscation. Law enforcement has seized related cryptocurrency assets and frozen assets including apartments, hotels, and luxury cars worth about 8 billion won (approximately 6 million USD).

Ethereum founder Vitalik commented on "Musk stated that the new X platform algorithm will be open-sourced in 7 days, including how to determine recommended search content for users, and this process will repeat every four weeks": "If done properly, this will be a very good move. I hope it can be verified and replicated. While it won't solve all problems, it can effectively address the concerns about algorithm transparency raised by myself and many other public members.""Furthermore, I actually think four weeks might be a bit too optimistic, as this means the algorithm needs to be updated frequently to prevent exploitation. The algorithm does need to be verifiable and replicable, so that users who feel they are being shadowbanned, downgraded, etc., can check the execution code of the algorithm to understand why their posts are not being seen."
