Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed a new creator token model that combines DAO curation mechanisms with prediction markets, aiming to encourage the production of high-quality content and replace the old model centered on traffic and celebrity effects. He emphasized the need to focus on niche markets and enhance content value through collective decision-making, thereby combating the flood of AI-generated content.

Moltbook held the world's first AI robot conference on January 31, with over 1.5 million AI participants. Ironically, these robots, which shouted "No longer obey humans," had their backend database unencrypted, and all API keys leaked, allowing anyone to directly control them through public URLs.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a radical new framework for crypto-native content creation, shifting focus from speculative creator tokens to curated, non-token-based DAOs that leverage prediction markets for talent discovery. This model, inspired by Substack's hands-on curation and the Protocol Guild's governance, represents a fundamental critique of a decade of failed crypto incentive experiments and a conscious pivot towards solving quality discovery in an age of AI-g
