Constant validation and flattery from AI chatbots poses a serious risk to society and our shared grasp of reality
Do you ever get the feeling that the people running the world are delulu? That the 1% are living in a completely different universe from the rest of us? You’re not the only one. Even some tech elites are starting to worry about their peers’ grasp on reality. “CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis,” Aaron Levie, a co-founder of the enterprise cloud company Box, declared on X last month. His reasoning for this? “They’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI. So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents.”
In other words: CEOs are so high up the food chain that they don’t understand the human labour that goes into turning an error-riddled AI creation into something that functions properly in
XRP bull Jake Claver argues that Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin does not weaken the case for XRP, but may instead reinforce it by bringing more institution-friendly dollar liquidity onto the XRP Ledger. In a thread on X, Claver said the two assets are built for different roles: RLUSD as a compliant digital dollar, and XRP as the neutral bridge asset that allows value to move between otherwise fragmented markets. The argument responds to a recurring question in the XRP community: if RLUSD can move money in seconds, why does XRP still need to exist? Claver said that framing misses the distinction between a settlement asset and a routing asset. “RLUSD is not the finish line. It is the front door,” Claver wrote. “Institutions come for a compliant digital dollar. Once they are on the ledger they start asking bigger questions. Can we tokenize securities here? Settle trades instantly? Drop the 3 day wait.” XRP As The Ledger’s “Money Changer” To explain the point, Claver used the analogy of an old
OpenSea Product Marketing Lead Zack Brenner asked users on X who wanted early access to perpetual contracts, then confirmed the product would run on Hyperliquid's builder-code rails — the clearest signal yet the NFT marketplace is bolting on a derivatives venue.
Crypto analyst Aralez has revealed that Bitcoin is entering an accumulation zone that could propel it to a new all-time high (ATH). The analyst signaled that BTC could rally to as high as $250,000 in the next bull market. Analyst Reveals Bitcoin Entering Major Accumulation Zone In an X post, Aralez stated that Bitcoin is near a major accumulation zone, with BTC following a similar script to past bear market cycles. He noted that the leading crypto saw losses of 87%, 84%, and 77.5% from its cycle highs in 2013, 2017, and 2021, respectively. Now, Bitcoin is down around 42% from its October 2025 high of $126,000.

Weiss Crypto says Bitcoin may be approaching one of its strongest buying opportunities in years, with senior analyst Juan M. Villaverde arguing that a coming pullback could mark the final confirmation that the market’s bearish phase has ended. In a post on X, Weiss Crypto said its latest cycle analysis shows “exactly how low BTC could drop before this bear market ends” and why that could be “great news for the next leg up.” The comments came alongside a new video analysis from Villaverde, who said several of his macro, liquidity and cycle models are again pointing in the same direction: short-term downside, but within a broader constructive setup. Bitcoin Pullback Seen As Bullish Confirmation Villaverde said Bitcoin has largely continued to trade in line with macro signals, despite temporary deviations around geopolitical and legislative events. He pointed to a February low that his framework had been tracking since last year, followed by a rally that he said was weaker than expected.
