In a 90-minute interview with The Economist, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, stated that artificial intelligence could surpass human intelligence levels within the next five years and predicted that in about ten years, AI and robotics might drive the world into a "highly affluent era." Musk believes that once AI systems and robots possess sufficiently powerful digital intelligence and production capabilities, the global economy could approach a state of "infinite supply," making human labor no longer a necessary condition for survival, and the importance of currency may gradually decline.He stated that in the future, if the number of robots is sufficient, society will have a "quasi-infinite economy," where artificial intelligence can produce goods and services that exceed human consumption capacity. He even predicted that by around 2036, the importance of the traditional currency system might significantly decrease. Regarding future economic operating models, Musk mentioned that governments might maintain social operations by directly distributing funds to the public and believes that the productivity improvements brought by AI could lead to deflation rather than inflation.However, regarding issues such as corporate profit models, government fiscal sources, and social transformation, Musk acknowledged that the economic structure in the age of artificial intelligence might differ greatly from traditional economic laws. Additionally, Musk discussed the integration of AI with space development. He indicated that in the future, data centers deployed in space might be used to support AI computing and reiterated the long-term plan for human exploration of Mars. In the interview, Musk also reflected on his previous involvement in the Trump administration's "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE). He admitted that he had invested too much energy in the political arena, "got a bit sidetracked," and stated that if he could choose again, he might spend more time on his own companies.

Chairman of Bitmine, Tom Lee, stated in an interview that AI is approaching the so-called "uncanny valley of wealth." At some point in the future, the income generated by AI entities owned by individuals may exceed their own labor income.Tom Lee believes that when this moment arrives, people may begin to question "whether they are working for AI or AI is working for them." He also predicts that in the future, AI entities may take over bank accounts, replace certain job positions, and even construct independent financial systems, admitting that this trend "may instill fear about the future in people."

According to Forbes, humanoid robot startup Humanoid announced the completion of a $152 million Series A funding round, with a post-investment valuation of $1.35 billion, becoming the first unicorn company in Europe focused on the humanoid robotics field.This round of financing was led by Prime Movers Lab, with participation from German industrial giants Schaeffler and Bosch, Taiwan's Fubon Financial Holdings venture capital, and LVMH Arnault family's investment firm Aglaé Ventures. After this financing, Humanoid's total funding amount has reached $270 million.

According to CNBC, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated in an interview that Agentic AI will soon possess capabilities comparable to human traders in the trading field. He pointed out that a significant amount of institutional trading has already been automated and driven by AI, and Robinhood's ultimate goal in developing AI agent trading is to enable ordinary retail investors to have the same computational power and trading tools as institutional high-frequency traders, breaking down technological barriers.It is reported that Robinhood launched tools in May of this year that allow AI agents to execute stock trades on behalf of clients. Additionally, the company just announced on Wednesday that it will launch cryptocurrency trading services in the UK to expand into the European market, and earlier this month announced a 10% reduction in staff to improve organizational efficiency.

According to The Block, Humanity Protocol founder Terence Kwok publicly responded for the first time after the project suffered an attack of approximately $36 million, stating that the team will reduce its focus on blockchain and decentralized identity projects and shift towards enterprise-level AI products and services.Kwok stated that the attack originated from the developer's device being compromised, rather than a smart contract vulnerability; the probability of recovering the stolen funds is low, and the current focus will be on token migration, claims and compensation processes, as well as subsequent business reconstruction.

According to on-chain detective ZachXBT's monitoring, it was found that signs of mixing appeared in the funds stolen from the Humanity Protocol and Kelp DAO vulnerability attacks one hour ago, indicating that there may be an overlap between the attackers of these two incidents.Based on this new evidence, it can be largely ruled out that the theft case of Humanity Protocol was committed by an insider.

According to Business Insider, Worldcoin developer Tools For Humanity previously hired two law firms to investigate internal financial irregularities, employee classification, and whether there were violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in its operations in Thailand.The report also stated that the investigation involves allegations of senior management approving large payments to foreign companies to boost the performance of Worldcoin tokens. The company stated that after the investigation, it has terminated its relationships with Thai partners and strengthened internal compliance policies and due diligence processes, and currently has not found sufficient evidence to prove that the company or its employees violated relevant anti-bribery laws.

According to on-chain data monitoring, the Humanity Protocol ($H) Foundation's related addresses have completed the planned token transfers, involving a "3:10" structured hedging profit-taking plan aimed at early investors, with a token scale exceeding 540 million. According to the previously announced schedule, the related tokens will officially enter the unlocking process on June 25, marking that the plan has completed the preparatory work for payment and has entered the formal performance stage.Previously, Humanity Protocol underwent a series of ecological recovery processes due to a hacking incident, including promoting a 1:1 exchange of new and old tokens for real holding users on exchanges, and implementing KYC and AML compliance verification for the abnormal on-chain issuance chips generated after the attack to reduce market circulation risks. The timely advancement of this unlocking plan is seen as an important progress node for the project in fulfilling commitments to investors and restoring ecological order after the security incident.Humanity Protocol mainly focuses on AI identity verification and Web3 identity infrastructure. As the demand for AI agents, real-person verification, anti-witch attacks, and on-chain identity applications continues to grow, this sector still has long-term development potential. If Humanity Protocol can continue to promote product and application implementation after completing token migration and ecological recovery, its subsequent performance will still attract market attention.

According to monitoring by Lookonchain, the Humanity Protocol attacker has exchanged part of the stolen funds for USDC and deposited them into KuCoin.

According to on-chain analyst PeckShield (@PeckShieldAlert), the Humanity attacker address has transferred 130 ETH (approximately $220,600) from Ethereum to BNB Chain (381 BNB).

Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, recently published a lengthy article sharing his thoughts on the investment decision-making system in the AI era, emphasizing that human insights still hold irreplaceable value in financial markets.Dalio believes that investing is essentially a "value-added near-zero-sum" competitive environment. When certain information becomes widely recognized, its investment value often declines rapidly. Therefore, even the most advanced AI systems are insufficient for investors to rely on completely or to follow blindly; the true competitive advantage still lies in unique human understanding and deep insights.Drawing on Bridgewater's 50 years of development experience, Dalio suggests that decision-making should be based on a clear, understandable, and verifiable principle system. He states that principled thinking does not rely on intuition or experiential judgment, but rather systematizes decision-making standards by analyzing contexts and causal relationships, recording core principles, and utilizing historical data for verification, ultimately transforming them into computable and automatically executable decision systems.He also points out that the formation of principles cannot solely depend on data mining or directly asking AI, but must be based on logical reasoning and an understanding of the operational laws of the real world.Dalio describes this process as a "collaborative game" between humans and AI. In this model, AI provides systematic suggestions based on established principles, while humans engage in independent thinking according to their own principle framework. Both parties continuously optimize the decision-making system through comparison, discussion, and logical verification.He believes that truly valuable principles should transcend time and geography, enduring scrutiny across different historical cycles and market environments. If a principle fails, it is necessary to re-examine the underlying causal relationships and continuously revise it.Dalio states that he has already applied this method in his family office to fully leverage the new generation of AI technology and plans to continue sharing related methodologies with the outside world. He also reminds market participants that as AI technology continues to evolve, the ability to effectively combine artificial intelligence with principled thinking may become an important watershed for future competitiveness.

Humanity released an independent investigation report by Quantstamp, which disclosed that in the H token security incident, the attacker used tools and methods characteristic of North Korean hackers, disguising themselves as communication from the Bithumb exchange through phishing emails, inducing project directors to click on malicious attachments, thereby deploying a remote control Trojan on their devices, ultimately gaining full desktop control and wallet private keys. Subsequently, on Ethereum and BNB Chain, they launched on-chain attacks: on the Ethereum side, by stealing keys to upgrade contracts and transferring approximately 141.18 million H tokens, and on the BSC side, by taking over the ProxyAdmin contract and minting new tokens. The stolen assets were then continuously sold on Uniswap and PancakeSwap for about 8 hours, causing significant impact on liquidity and market prices.Currently, the H token contract on the Ethereum side has been frozen, the mainnet bridge remains unaffected, but the BSC deployment has been controlled by the attacker and still has minting permissions. The team is working with exchanges and security parties to advance subsequent disposal and recovery plans, while reminding users to be wary of false "compensation/claim" links, and stated that further progress will be announced through official channels.Previously, the Humanity Protocol was attacked, resulting in the leak of a private key from a member of the Humanity Foundation, leading to over 31 million dollars in funds being stolen.

According to the official announcement, Humanity has shared the real-time tracking page of the stolen funds with all CEXs, DEXs, and trading aggregators, and will continue to update the relevant data. The project team has also set up a reward of 1 million USDT for any information that helps recover the stolen funds, and all recovered funds will be used to repurchase H tokens.In addition, while formulating a recovery plan for affected users, the team has launched a real-time tracker for the attacker's address and downstream fund flows, publicly displaying the attacker's wallet, fund movements, and asset disposal status to allow users to monitor the progress of the event in real-time.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, the Humanity attackers have issued an additional 1 billion H tokens 20 minutes ago.Yu Jin stated that previously the attackers had repeatedly issued H tokens in increments of 100 million, but this time they directly issued 1 billion. However, as market liquidity continues to dry up, the attackers' cash-out ability has significantly decreased. Currently, selling 10 million H tokens at once can only be exchanged for about 6 BNB, worth approximately 3,600 USD. The price of H has now fallen to about 0.0003 USD.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, "private key leakage" has allowed the issuance and selling of H to last for 13 hours, with the so-called "hacker" still able to issue H and sell it on the BSC chain, squeezing the last penny from the pool. The "hacker" has issued 300 million H and has sold approximately 450 million, cashing out 34 million dollars (ETH + BNB).The liquidity in the H pool on BSC has been reduced to only 13 dollars, and the price of H has dropped by 99.9% to 0.0009 dollars. Meanwhile, the perpetual contract price in CEX is 0.09 dollars, a price difference of 100 times. Essentially, it has become two unrelated coins.

On-chain detective ZachXBT released an update on the Humanity $31 million security incident. After further analysis of the flow of funds, ZachXBT believes that the team is likely not involved in "self-theft" or "self-directed performance." The official announcement regarding the private key leak is true, but before the unlocking, the price of H tokens was artificially pumped, resulting in hackers taking advantage of the situation. The private key leak and the previous abnormal price pump should be considered independent events.ZachXBT also questioned whether the team artificially inflated the price of H tokens through suspicious market-making agreements and large over-the-counter transactions before the token unlocking, in order to smoothly offload or alleviate selling pressure ahead of the upcoming unlocking for investors/early contributors (around June 25).

Regarding the incident of "Humanity being stolen over 31 million dollars," on-chain detective ZachXBT stated, "It's unclear whether this is a hacker theft or malicious behavior from the project team. From the K-line chart, given the concentration of supply, the H team is likely collaborating with an active market maker. However, all H tokens were sold on decentralized exchanges (on-chain), not centralized exchanges."

Humanity Protocol founder Terence Kwok posted on the X platform confirming a security incident, stating that this incident involves the private key leak of a Humanity Foundation member. For safety reasons, users are advised not to interact with cross-chain bridges or any liquidity pools until safety is confirmed. The team is working with security experts and exchange partners to resolve the issue.According to previous reports, associated addresses of Humanity Protocol have been stolen for over 31 million dollars.
