OpenAI’s o3 model resisted shutdown in safety tests, raising concerns about AI alignment and control. What does it mean when an AI refuses to shut down? A recent test demonstrated this behavior, not just once, but multiple times. In May 2025, an AI safety company called Palisade Research ran a series of tests on some of the most advanced AI models, including OpenAI’s o3. The goal was simple: see how well these models follow a shutdown command.

The Trump administration, supported by major US crypto firms, has largely dismantled the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, leaving consumers vulnerable. The recent departure of a high-ranking US consumer protection regulator comes amid concerns that market participants, including crypto holders, are being left to fend for themselves. On June 10, Cara Petersen, acting enforcement director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), reportedly resigned with a scathing letter criticizing President Donald Trump’s administration, namely the “thoughtless” cutbacks at the agency pushed by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Republican lawmakers and the White House have promised to streamline the CFPB, ensuring it would protect consumers while not stifling innovation. Prominent figures in the crypto industry have also attacked the agency; Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong called it “unconstitutional.” Read more

As government overreach and institutional interests reshape the blockchain landscape, it's time to return to Bitcoin's founding vision: a truly decentralized, immutable currency free from state and corporate control. Opinion by: Dr. K, co-founder of Quai Network While Bitcoin was intended to enable people to opt out of state-centralized money systems, the blockchain industry has since lost its way. Today, we see the threat of government overreach along with blockchain solutions that prioritize scalability and performance over decentralization.  The rise of networks like Ethereum and Solana has certainly been captivating, but these blockchains comprise core values in exchange for usability and institutions' adoption. To achieve the mission that Satoshi started, there is a dire need to return to Bitcoin's original ethos of money, which is credibly neutral, immutable money that cannot be manipulated. Read more

Supply chain attacks in crypto exploit trusted dependencies, emerging as a major threat to crypto projects, which now have to stay vigilant on such threats. A supply chain attack in the crypto domain is a cyberattack where hackers target third-party components, services or software that a project relies on instead of attacking the project itself. These components may include libraries, application programming interfaces (APIs) or tools used in decentralized applications (DApps), exchanges or blockchain systems. By compromising these external dependencies, attackers can insert harmful code or gain unauthorized access to critical systems. For instance, they might alter a widely used open-source library in DeFi platforms to steal private keys or redirect funds after it is implemented. Read more
