Bitcoin experiences worst weekly decline in over a year amid liquidation fears

Bitcoin has dropped to its lowest level since February, marking its steepest weekly decline in over a year. The fall is driven by concerns about the potential liquidation of tokens from the defunct Mt. Gox exchange and further selling pressures from leveraged traders. Ether has also experienced a significant drop, hitting a two-month low. The return of bitcoin to Mt. Gox creditors and U.S. political changes affecting crypto sentiment contributed to the decline. “What’s striking about this slide in Bitcoin is it comes as US stocks and global equity indexes rest at or near record highs — the correlation between Bitcoin and mainstream equities is fraying,” said Antoni Trenchev, co-founder of crypto platform Nexo.

OpenAI faces internal strife and security concerns following undisclosed breach

The New York Times reported on a breach at OpenAI in early 2023, where hackers accessed an employee forum but not the systems housing AI development. OpenAI did not disclose the breach publicly or to the FBI, stating no customer or partner data was compromised, nor was it deemed a national security threat. However, internal discussions ensued over security measures. Leopold Aschenbrenner, a program manager, raised concerns about OpenAI's security posture and was subsequently fired, purportedly for leaking information related to future AI safety measures. Aschenbrenner highlighted broader concerns about AGI (artificial general intelligence) security implications, suggesting a potential gap in national security preparedness as AI technologies advance.
