Forget everything! Or the tale of FTX

Today is Flight Attendant Day. Well, congratulations! We are also a kind of flight attendants: we fly back and forth on rockets, up and down, down again, and down once more... and then boom, up we go when all the paper hands have left. That's the law of the market.

And now, let's go to the digest. We have the latest news from the world of artificial intelligence. We're studying the Reveel project and protecting ourselves from scammers who want to steal our Arkham airdrops.

In the news: FTX is returning the money, but there's one catch. Cathie Wood sold Coinbase stocks, but they're busy suing the SEC. Linea will launch its blockchain soon.

Let's go!

According to Telegram chats and Twitter streets, FTX has started giving away cash. You just need to fill out a form on their website, and voila.

Of course, cunning scammers started spreading phishing links... So, let's say you wanted to get back the 0.0001 BTC that you lost due to the FTX crash, and you were tricked again. That's why the folks at FTX released an announcement:

– Official website. Everything else is phishing

– You can't complete the form yet; all the information will appear in official sources

– When can you do it? They say they'll start accepting applications on September 29th at 16:00 UTC

And what's the deal?

Well, we've already expressed a conspiracy theory that could turn out to be real. The folks at BlackRock need a pocket exchange, so they'll revive FTX and quietly eliminate competitors. Of course, we're not asserting this; we're just sharing our wild fantasy :) Well, that's just a note for the court.

Participants in our chat report that after the Arkham leak, emails have started arriving attempting to "recover" accounts. Of course, these are scammers trying to grab your Arkham account to take your airdrop.

What should we do?

– Maximize email protection. 2FA and consider changing your password to a more complex one if the previous one was weak.

– Ignore the email and continue living peacefully. Scammers are unlikely to target only one person; they'll attempt it on a larger scale.

Strong password + 2FA + don't click on suspicious links, and you'll have a fair Gotham :)

Our weekly column is about the most interesting things from the world of artificial intelligence. 

People have created a real robot from the WALL-E cartoon; here it is in the video; how adorable, right? We should turn it into NFT…

The future is here!

– Google is testing its AI in clinics.

– URTOPIA equips its bicycles with ChatGPT, which will serve as a guide for humans.

What to explore?

There are no new interesting free projects! There's a paid one starting from 29 bucks. Aragon AI is creating headshots... no, not the ones in Counter-Strike :) These are portrait-like shots from your selfie. Maybe it will come in handy one day.

– Consensys has released their Linea L2 project in alpha mainnet. We'll be writing guides on them soon.

– ARK Katie Wood sells Coinbase stocks for $12 million as COIN reaches an annual high.

– This Thursday, Coinbase and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will meet in court for the first time in the federal regulator's lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange.

Please bear in mind it's not a shill, and we have no responsibilities for the project. It's on your own, ok?
 

Reveel is an income distribution protocol that helps distribute these incomes with optimal gas costs. Binance invested, so the airdrop chance is increasing.
