🤑🤑 UPDATE on GENIUS and CLARITY: Pundit Says “This is why I’m bullish on XRP and XLM”

Senator Bill Hagerty is discussing the CLARITY Act, and this video is fueling fresh bullish sentiment around XRP and XLM. The reason is that Hagerty sits on the Senate Banking Committee.🔣His words carry weight on a bill that could reshape the entire digital asset market.

He said the CLARITY Act is taking the crypto space toward “the type of certainty that’s necessary to bring the entire digital asset framework into full-blown opportunity here in America.” He drew a direct line to his own legislative track record, noting that the GENIUS Act, which he authored, brought the U.S. into the digital payments arena.

He said digital assets “have a much more varied use” and added, “We need to get this done. It’s important to get it done. It’s critical to maintain America’s innovation edge.”❗️

On timing, Hagerty said the bill will likely garner more attention after the July recess period, and he hopes to see it concluded before the end of July. 🚀

🤖 China’s new flexible brain-computer chip retains 94% efficiency after 18 months

A team of researchers from China and Japan has developed a ultra-flexible brain implant electrode array. It overcomes a major hurdle in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs): the physical mismatch between stiff metal electrodes and soft brain tissue, which typically leads to chronic inflammation and signal degradation.

Researchers tested the flexible brain implant in animal trials. Interestingly, it achieved long-term signal clarity and safe, stable functionality over an 18-month period.

BCIs are advancing rapidly, but their long-term survival inside the body has always been the weak point. Invasive brain implants should ideally last a lifetime rather than just a few years. This new class of organic hydrogel could eventually solve the gap between machine and mind, offering a durable solution for the long term.

🇳🇴Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school

Norway is imposing a near ban on the use of generative AI tools by elementary school pupils while also restricting their ​use in the education of older children to prevent a ‌negative impact on learning, the country's prime minister said.

“Using AI increases the risk that young children skip important ⁠steps in their education,” — Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said.

In 2024, Norway banned smartphones from classrooms, requiring students to lock their devices up during school hours. According to a study published by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, bullying decreased across the board, and grade point averages started to climb once the device restriction was implemented. The nation followed that up with a planned social media ban earlier this year, which would keep anyone under the age of 16 off social platforms.

🎮 Epic Games unveils Launcher V2 in re-attempt to topple Steam, says redesigned storefront is up to 6.5x faster

At Unreal Fest, the company unveiled a roadmap for the next 12 months, promising significant upgrades in the form of Epic Games Launcher V2. The v2 launcher will supposedly open up 5x faster on average upon cold boots, while restoring it from the system tray will be 6.5x faster on average.

The biggest change is a redesigned storefront that's truly personalized to the individual user. Games will be recommended based on taste and playstyle, while the game pages will try to do more than just show the price, title, and cover.

🇧🇷 Millions in Brazil Get Fake Government Mobile Alert After Hack

Brazil’s Integration and Regional Development Ministry and federal police are investigating an intrusion into the civil defense alert system that sent messages containing the word “misanthropy” to the mobile phones of millions of Brazilians.

The message was sent as an “Extreme Alert” — used to warn the public about extreme weather — in what was likely the result of a hacker attack, according to the ministry. National Secretary of Protection and Civil Defense Wolnei Wolff told a press conference that 10 alerts were tracked in various Brazilian states. The number of phones affected nationwide wasn’t disclosed.

🇨🇳China unifies tech sector to build grid-free orbiting satellite AI data centers, challenging Elon Musk's SpaceX

The Chinese government quietly approved the Space Computing Industry Innovation Center in early June, which aims to bring together rocket and satellite manufacturers, semiconductor fabs, and AI tech companies to build a space computing network. According to the Beijing government, this aims to connect the entire industrial chain of space computing and boost the development of the satellite Internet of Things (IoT) sector.

The center is set to be officially launched later this month, and it will focus on six major research areas:
→ highly reliable, heat-resistant space-native computing chips;
→ high-performance hyper-interconnected space computing payloads;
→ space computing satellite platforms and standard systems;
→ space-based large models under constrained power conditions;
→ integrated space-ground cloud-based measurement and control networking;
→ and space computing power service-oriented and tokenized operations.

☝️ These are designed to build an orbiting AI data center that will not rely on Earth-bound energy sources and will avoid the bottlenecks that many ground-based data center developments face today.

🤖 Midjourney wants to scan your body with half a million ultrasonic sensors, at a spa

Midjourney built its name on AI-generated images. Now, the company outlined plans for a body-scanning system built around ultrasonic sensing and large-scale data capture. The idea is to generate detailed, three-dimensional images of the body in under a minute, with performance the company says could rival MRI scans but without the same discomfort.

At full scale, the company envisions a ring containing roughly half a million sensors, each about the size of a grain of sand. Together, they would generate a constant stream of ultrasonic signals, producing what Midjourney says could amount to terabytes of data every second.

"You want as much data as you can get about your health as quickly and as cheaply as possible. In other words, you want a technology optimized for getting as many megabytes per second per dollar of information about your body," — the company wrote.
