Theory: Artificial Intelligence began to exist after the crypto boom.

I am always thinking about this. Are this two events related?

My theory, is that someone figure it out how to make AI "come to live" and that it needed a huge amount of computations, like... the computations of almost all the CPUs y GPUs possible... And then... in 2009 a misterious man that we exactly don't know if it's real, Satoshi Nakamoto... Released bitcoin... and there they started the process.. which is being consummated recently after the pandemic where even more and more CPUs GPUs was used to cryptocurrency as a way to fight the low markets..

What do you think? Could this two/three things being related? Are there someone elsewehere talking about this?

I interested not about discuss the ethics or why has been created... if it is for evil or for good but more about if it's possible

as I understand large language models are trained with all the data but i just can't imagine how much computation those models need.

I am shocked also about that we don't fully understand how it work... Recently I read about that they figure it out how to make responses more effective by asking the AI "please reproduce step by step" like... dude wtf we humans created it... how we don't you know that it works like that? There's no manual... It's like a newborn species

North Korea was floundering under sanctions. Now it's making billions from stolen cryptocurrency

https://preview.redd.it/jkl4wd1yd21c1.png?width=862&format=png&auto=webp&s=55fc29ed420f90d1ec195d556e201c039327c790

In March 2022, a senior software engineer at a gaming company in Singapore got a job offer. 

It was good news because things weren't great at their current company, Sky Mavis, makers of the play-to-earn game Axie Infinity. The value of its in-game cryptocurrency had crashed.

The engineer went through the job application process before finally being sent a PDF with the salary details.

He clicked the link, but the job offer was fake.

North Korean hackers now had access to Sky Mavis's private keys — the access codes for the company's cryptocurrency account.

They stole around $600 million in cryptocurrency in one of history's biggest heists — not just of cryptocurrency, but of anything.

As international sanctions have cut into North Korea's ability to import and export things, it's been running lots of plots and schemes to get access to foreign currency.

But it's discovered that nothing compares to stealing cryptocurrency. And last year, stealing cryptocurrency was North Korea's primary form of foreign currency income.

Wannacry: The biggest cyber attack in history

​

https://preview.redd.it/fw1vtl0je21c1.png?width=862&format=png&auto=webp&s=55b48c436ef7da3eb10bf70beb96241a0272b324

In 2017, North Korea's hackers made one of their first attempts to raise revenue from cybercrime.

They developed a virus called Wannacry that wormed its way through a security flaw in Microsoft Windows in the biggest cyber attack in history.

The list of victims was extremely broad. The attack hit Britain's hospital network, Germany's rail system and scores of companies and government agencies.

The attack wasn't as effective as it could have been, though.

British cybersecurity researcher Marcus Hutchins found that the hackers had inserted a "kill switch" into the code in case they wanted to stop the virus from spreading any further.

So he just, kind of, flicked that switch.

Plus, news got around that even if you paid the ransom, there was no guarantee that your files would be unlocked.

While hundreds of thousands of computers were infected, fewer than 500 ransom payments were made.

The North Korean hackers received about 51 Bitcoin, which, thanks to the outrageous volatility of Bitcoin, could have been worth anywhere between US$100,000 and US$3.5 million, depending on when the hackers sold it.

Either way, it's not a huge amount.

To make real money, North Korea has turned its attention to robbing crypto exchanges and taking millions of dollars at a time.

North Korea hits the big time

Most people trade their crypto using cryptocurrency exchanges that do the same things a bank does.

But as opposed to banks, crypto exchanges are unregulated and often have poor security measures.

While robbing a bank is risky, robbing a crypto exchange, it appears, is just a matter of sending an attractive job offer to a senior employee.

North Korea's hackers have been robbing crypto exchange after crypto exchange.

In 2022, North Korea's hacking gang was responsible for half of all cryptocurrency theft. Their haul was $US1.65 billion.

That's more than three times the amount made globally from ransomware last year.

It's nearly twice as much as they made from all other exports.

Yes — to be clear — last year, stealing cryptocurrency was North Korea's primary form of foreign currency income.

Kim Jong-un celebrated this windfall by doing as many missile launch tests in a single year as he had in the previous decade.

North Korea tested 121 rockets in 15 months.

Now there's speculation Kim is selling some of his weapons to Russia to assist Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine. Another exciting revenue stream.

At the moment, there's no real plan to stop him. Crypto exchanges are still unregulated, insecure pots of money that he — or anyone else — can raid to pay for nuclear weapons.

​

These guys are getting out of hand now, What do you guys think?

Thanksgiving event is pretty horrible...

I was happy to see that the Thanksgiving event was up and running when I logged in this afternoon... right up until I started playing. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with the overall layout here. Even if you buy the DLC, you're going to be very short on the golden corn bait and have to spend a small fortune in bitcoins to finish the event. I'm also seeing a lot of comments online that it may not even be possible to finish the event with the required equipment. https://youtu.be/S4I4-Vvm04I?si=c96pR4Ia8fLPmVXL Has anyone made any significant progress in this without problem?

Any bitcoiners here excited for the halving in April?

Howling At The Moon: 23,000% Dogecoin Signal Reawakens!

The resurgence of a parabolic technical signal has Dogecoin holders howling for another moonshot, as it did prior to a remarkable 23,000% rally. During the previous crypto bull market, Dogecoin, fueled by meme mania and Elon Musk tweets, outperformed Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other altcoins.

​

Before the breakout in 2020, Dogecoin, which had spent over three years in a downtrend, touched the 1M Parabolic SAR on the USD trading pair. Shortly after this signal, Dogecoin experienced an extraordinary 23,000% rally, reaching its peak in 2021.

​

The Parabolic SAR, designed by J. Welles Wilder, Jr., is a technical indicator signaling potential trend reversals. In 2020, this signal marked the turning point before Dogecoin's significant uptrend. Now that the signal has been triggered again, speculation arises about the potential move for the meme coin.

​

Historically, after the Parabolic SAR was hit in 2017, Dogecoin rallied over 6,200%. Averaging this with the 23,000% surge from the more recent event suggests a possible 14,600% surge this time. Additionally, the Elliott Wave Principle suggests that the first wave of any cycle could be similar in magnitude to the final wave, hinting at another potential 6,200% return if an uptrend materializes from the current point. The Dogecoin community is eagerly watching to see if history repeats itself with another astronomical surge.
