On the 9th local time, on the eve of the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit, French President Macron announced that he would invest 109 billion euros in the field of artificial intelligence in the next few years. Macron said he hopes France can seize the opportunities brought by this new era and said that there will be 100,000 young people in this program to be trained. He stressed that when facing the challenges of artificial intelligence, Europe should avoid regulation first and then innovation, otherwise it will break off the track of innovation and lag behind in competition in this field. The Artificial Intelligence Action Summit is scheduled to be held in Paris, France from February 9 to 12.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a blog that AGI (General Artificial Intelligence) is gradually emerging, and its impact may surpass all previous technological changes. He put forward three key observations on the economics of AI:
1. The intelligence of AI models is logarithmic to computing resources—the investment in training computing, data and inference computing can increase infinitely, and achieve continuous and predictable returns.
2. The cost of using AI is reduced by about 10 times per year - for example, the word cost of GPT-4 in early 2023 decreased by about 150 times compared with GPT-4o's cost in mid-2024, far exceeding the growth rate of Moore's Law.
3. Linear growth intelligence brings super exponential socio-economic value – this drives investment to increase and will not stop in the short term.
Altman expects AI agents (such as software engineering assistants) to become "virtual colleagues" and penetrate widely across industries. He believes that the economic impact of AI may be similar to transistors, the way in which the world changes is not easy to detect but extremely far-reaching. At the same time, the popularity of AI may lead to a sharp drop in the costs of certain commodities, while the prices of scarce resources such as land rise.
He stressed that policy and social consensus are crucial to the future of AGI. To ensure the widespread distribution of benefits of AGI, new economic models may be needed, such as providing “computing budgets” to everyone around the world. He believes that by 2035, everyone should be able to mobilize intellectual resources equivalent to global wisdom in 2025, which will greatly release human creativity.
According to a release by the President of the Central African Republic Faustin-Archange Touadéra on the X platform, he announced the launch of the Meme CAR, calling it an "experiment aimed at uniting the people, supporting national development and bringing the Central African Republic to the world stage." He stressed that he has always recognized the global potential of cryptocurrencies as the second president in the world to use Bitcoin as a fiat currency.
In addition, he said he is working with X platform to restore @CARMeme_News (the account has been frozen) and confirmed that the CAR token supply has been securely locked through @streamflow_fi, and is executed according to the distribution plan and release schedule.
On-chain data shows that CAR has exceeded US$0.48 in a short period of time and is now at US$0.28, with a total market value of approximately US$280 million. It is not clear whether Touadéra's account has been compromised.
ChatGPT website traffic hits a new high, ranking sixth in the world
According to Similarweb data, ChatGPT (chatgpt.com) climbed to sixth place for the first time in January 2025, with a traffic share of 2.33%, a monthly increase of 5.91%. Google ranks first with 29.21% traffic share, while YouTube ranks second. Sam Altman retweeted: "There is still a long way to catch up with Google."
Michael Saylor: Bitcoin is becoming the world's reserve capital network
A trader converts $5K to $12M within 3 hours, receiving 2450 times the return
According to Lookonchain monitoring, a trader purchased 46.57M $CAR with 25 SOLs ($5K) within 1 second after Faustin-Archange Touadéra announced the $CAR contract address. The trader then sold 22.65M $CAR, obtained 8,395 SOL (about $1.67M), and still held 23.92M $CAR (about $10.5M).
In just 3 hours, the trader's initial investment soared 2,450 times, and the current total value of its holdings exceeded US$12 million.
Michael Saylor releases Bitcoin Tracker-related information again
MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor once again released information about Bitcoin Tracker. He said: "The blue line disappears. Long live the green dot." (Note: MicroStrategy previously marked a green dot on the corresponding date every time he bought BTC. The BTC price trend line is blue.) According to previous rules, MicroStrategy always increases its holdings of Bitcoin the day after the relevant news is released.
