?? It's interesting to see how Brazil's decision to uphold the ban on Twitter has shaken things up. I can see both sides of the argument here—freedom of expression vs the spread of disinformation. There's surerly a deeper tension between tech companies and governments on content regulation.

What’s happening in Brazil feels like a broader trend we’re seeing all over the place: governments trying to take a stronger hand in moderating what’s allowed online, especially when it involves politics.

Meanwhile, we see how quickly users find and embrace alternatives. Yet another reminder of how quickly we can adapt.

? Also, I see that tools like ChatGPT are making us lazier. Even Googling takes some effort, but Chat confidently answers my questions, so I don’t even bother to double-check the facts. The problem is, it makes a LOT of mistakes.

So, before you take anything at face value, do yourself a favor and double-check your info.

Trust, but verify—or better yet, just verify!

? Lately, I’ve noticed something odd with AI tools like ChatGPT—they seem to be getting dumber. I’ve been using it for brainstorming, post editing, and some other tasks, but it’s clearly losing its edge.

?‍♂️ Sometimes, ChatGPT struggles to understand the simplest tasks and the answers are getting less reliable.

I stumbled across an article that confirmed my confusion: these generative AI tools aren’t as smart as we think, and they’re getting worse over time, recycling the same low-quality content. The author pointed out that as AI continues to rely on poor-quality data and content generated by other models, it’s bound to lead to even more errors and “model collapse.” Basically, Garbage In, Garbage Out.

? If companies are really hoping to replace knowledge workers with general-purpose AI chatbots, they’re in for a rude awakening.

? Vitalik Buterin’s disclosure of his $140,000 salary from the Ethereum Foundation was pretty cool. As someone deeply involved in Web3 jobs market and fair pay through my projects, I believe that being open about salaries not only builds trust but also sets a standard for accountability.

Also, Buterin’s relatively modest salary, especially in comparison to other high-profile figures, reminds us that transparency and fairness should be at the forefront of any organization.

? It’s a practice I strongly advocate for, as it fosters a more equitable and trustworthy environment in the Web3 space.

? Another day, another headline that makes you go, “Seriously?” This time, a survey says men in crypto are less attractive than anime fans.

Guess we’ll have to settle for being the smart, tech-savvy ones—because apparently, flashy costumes are still slightly better.

*? Official salaries in crypto are a massive win for the industry.* This move validates digital currencies as legitimate forms of payment, elevating their role from speculative assets to everyday financial tools.

Why else is good? Legal recognition of crypto salaries can reduce reliance on traditional banking systems, streamline cross-border transactions, and foster financial inclusion.

For countries dealing with high inflation, having salaries in crypto could offer a more stable alternative to devaluing local currencies. In areas lacking banking infrastructure, crypto can provide access to financial services where traditional systems fall short.

☝️ It’s all about creating practical, real-world applications.

₿ About Bitcoin. I've got this friend who’s been talking about crypto investing for ages. Every time we hang out, he’s got some new insight on why Bitcoin is the future or how smart it is to diversify—yet, despite all the talk, he’s never actually pulled the trigger and invested. I’m not sure what’s holding him back, but it’s definitely something.

We were at a mutual friend’s party recently, and he was going on about how he’s still trying to decide which coins to add to his portfolio. Another buddy of ours, who’s already in the game, jumped in mentioning that Bitcoin helped him buy his house. No mortgage—just Bitcoin. You should have seen the look on my friend's face! all.

There’s never a perfect time to invest until you just decide to go for it. But this is definitely not a financial advice.

FUD ‼️ Monitoring Hamster situation… interesting.

*⚡ Back in the day, I used to power through 14+ hour workdays,* thinking it was the key to success. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. All it did was lead to frequent burnouts and a serious need for more coffee.

These days, I’ve cracked the code. It’s all about mixing work with life throughout the day.

?‍♂️Take breaks, guys. Seriously. Go out and do the things you love, then go back to your laptop and continue. Don’t feel guilty. Your future self will thank you.
