OpenAI reportedly used an LLM to help draft and edit its Australian government breach notification, though humans reviewed and sent the final email. The revelation followed Jason Kwon telling a parliamentary hearing that he did not think AI had been used to prepare the notification. Assistant minister Andrew Charlton argued that AI requires regulation because industry self-regulation cannot adequately address its risks and incentives. Former RBA official Jonathan Kearns warned AI investment could add near-term inflationary pressure and contribute to further interest-rate rises. The saga around OpenAI and the Australian government continues. The Guardian Australia reported that OpenAI used an…

Crypto firms authorized under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation (MiCA) should resolve EU clients’ remaining exposure to non-compliant stablecoins through their services within three months, according to a new opinion from the bloc’s markets watchdog.The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published the opinion Oct. 8. Where national regulators find legacy exposures, ESMA said they should require remediation as soon as possible and no later than three months after publication, or about Jan. 8, 2027.National regulators may allow firms that do not yet comply to provide strictly limited services needed for an orderly wind-down and to avoid harm to…

Roger Wattenhofer and Quentin Kniep propose speeding Solana’s block production by scheduling nearby validators consecutively. Their plan relies on self-reported locations, bringing an unverifiable physical input into the order of block producers. Each scheduled turn at block production is called a leader window.The aim is to make fast handovers less dependent on operating near Solana’s biggest stake centers. The authors’ simulation cuts the mean handover delay between honest validators from 36.2 milliseconds to 17.0 milliseconds without giving any validator more leader windows. Reordering also changes the continuity of control: three-window groups can combine into longer consecutive stretches.Wattenhofer, Anza’s head of…

Bitcoin faces a new macro headwind from the artificial-intelligence boom as massive infrastructure spending competes for long-term capital.Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s Sept. 15-16 meeting showed market participants citing heavy private debt issuance for AI infrastructure as one factor pushing Treasury yields and term premiums higher. Nominal yields rose about 35 basis points across maturities from two to 10 years between Fed meetings.That complicates things for crypto investors focused primarily on when the Fed stops tightening. Policymakers raised the federal funds target by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4% in September, and most officials judged another increase would probably be appropriate…

Abstract, an Ethereum layer-2 network, says it will shut down on Dec. 15, 2026. In its Oct. 6 announcement, @AbstractChain told users to migrate their assets before that date or lose access to their funds.The deadline tests a distinction that can disappear behind the phrase self-custody. A holder can retain ownership and the authority to approve transactions while losing the infrastructure needed to execute them. Cube, Inc., the company providing Abstract’s services, makes that separation explicit in its updated terms: wind-down does not transfer assets to Cube or the other parties covered by its terms, but the end of normal…
