I am very glad to meet CZ in Tokyo. This is his return to Japan after 7 years, and during this time, the entire industry has undergone tremendous changes.

At this event, I asked CZ a question: How do you view the on-chain of everything and the tokenization of stocks?

He replied: There have not yet been large-scale coin-stock products on the market. The possible reason is that each country and region has different policies, making it difficult for coin-stock investors to receive dividends and easily redeem stocks. There are also price differences during trading. However, projects on the chain are usually global in nature, which was a significant pain point back then.

Restrict areas or try to solve it?

But he reiterated that the trend of RWA cannot be stopped. $BNB

Multiple Alipay-certified employees confirmed that Amap’s internal team is currently trialing a “sweep-the-bombs” ranking list. Based on user reviews, restaurants, scenic spots, parking lots, and hotels can be placed on negative lists such as queue-and-avoid, experience-and-avoid, and hygiene-and-avoid.

This September, colleges and universities across the country will hold anti-fraud classes.

Now, all colleges and universities know about a guy in Shanghai who believed he could contact an American Black person for a zero-yuan purchase and was scammed out of RMB 5,580 by a middleman. The other party kept stalling, saying the package was still on the way and that they had been in a car accident. In the end, the guy realized he had been cheated.

I cried—while in the next room, Claude kept banning Chinese-speaking users and hyping up the idea of a Chinese threat, ChatGPT’s big-product Tibo bro directly replied to Chinese fans in Chinese.

He praised this fan, saying that after using Codex, he no longer uses Claude Code. This is his second time saying something in Chinese, after last October.

Looks like this wave is headed for a foldable phone showdown. With just 3 days left until Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra launch, Xiaomi and Huawei, both on the same day, rushed to release their own foldable phones first, with both priced at above the 10,000-yuan range.

At the moment, market expectations are that the Apple Ultra foldable will start at around 14,000–15,000 yuan.

Some netizens at Beijing Capital Airport bumped into the founder of robotics leader Unitree Technology, Wang Xingxing. He still had the same deadpan, frustrated look—no assistant, no entourage—standing with his back against the airport shuttle bus while wearing a backpack.

At this point, the company’s stock price had already been cut in half.

Today, McDonald's India account posted a long rights-protection thread. He claimed to be a company intern responsible for managing multiple local McDonald's accounts.

Then his boss, named Amit Joshi, hasn't paid him since December 2025, forcing him to take two other jobs and leaving him so broke that he was hungry every day.

Sure enough, less than an hour after this post was published, the tweet was deleted 🤣

The end of an era. Nike is facing an epic crisis. The company’s stock has fallen nearly 80% over the past 5 years, and yesterday it was even officially announced that it will be removed from the S&P 100 index.

The reason behind this is that China, once its biggest growth engine, is now steadily bleeding. Revenue has declined year over year for about 8 consecutive quarters, while domestic brands like Anta and Li-Ning are rapidly taking market share.

At the same time, the previous CEO kept pushing for direct-to-consumer operations, which caused many distributors to give up the stores and shelf space that had originally belonged to Nike and hand them over to other sneaker brands, shifting part of Nike’s customer base.

With 180,000 followers across the internet, Tiny, a wealthy influencer who was only 43, was confirmed to have died in Thailand after undergoing penis enlargement surgery.

This March, he went to Thailand with his wife for a trip and, along the way, visited a clinic in Bangkok to receive injections for penile enlargement. Shortly after the procedure, he experienced chest pain and fainted twice while getting a massage at the hotel.

Although emergency rescue efforts, including CPR, continued for more than 100 minutes, he still died in the early hours of March 6. The cause of death was confirmed to be a pulmonary embolism triggered by the penile filler procedure, meaning the filler had entered a blood vessel and blocked the blood vessels in the lungs.

The official website experience is really frustrating. Before, when ordering the Mac mini M4 from Apple’s official website, those of us who had been waiting for shipping have been receiving notifications these past few days that the device has been officially upgraded by Apple for free to the latest M6 model.

However, the shipping time has been pushed back further, to the end of this month or the beginning of next month.

So this counts as an unsuccessful attempt to latch onto a big shot, ending up sent in by the big shot’s wife, and becoming the first person in a criminal trial?

According to the lawyer, the amount was less than 50 million US dollars, but he was sentenced to 14 years.

History has been made. Today, the United Nations passed a resolution by a vote of 164 to 1, recommending that countries and institutions adopt a new version of the world map. The new map greatly enlarges the visual area of Africa, South America, and Australia, while significantly reducing the size of Europe, North America, and Greenland.

And the only country to vote against the resolution was the United States.

It left me stunned. A developer thought that since the menu bar at the top of Apple computers is empty anyway, he might as well develop a plugin that displays ads in the top bar.

That way advertisers can also pay for placements, and people who install the plugin and watch the ads can earn income as well.

Unexpectedly, after this product launched, it received more than 12,000 impressions in the first few hours, with an average ad click-through rate of 4.4% and a cost per click of 0.09 US dollars. After calculation, its click-through rate was much higher than ordinary internet banner ads.

However, this also caused a huge uproar in the comments section, because most people originally bought Apple Macs because they could no longer stand all the rogue ad software on Windows, and then this product suddenly felt like a step backward.

Missing that era of economic growth

Sure enough, what was supposed to happen has arrived. Just as Tesla’s driverless taxi Cybercab is preparing for rapid expansion, ride-hailing app Uber is joining forces with driver unions to lobby regulators to slow the rollout of driverless taxis.

They want a significant share of orders on ride-hailing platforms to be completed by human drivers. For example, a pilot proposal in New Jersey requires that the share of human drivers remain no lower than 85% within three years.

The reason behind this is that Waymo, Google’s driverless car unit, among others, has already begun squeezing the income of ride-hailing drivers and the market share of platforms in many parts of the United States. Yet Uber itself has made very little progress in autonomous driving; it even once bundled the business for sale and gave it up.

Didn’t think it would really arrive—this time it didn’t get postponed. At midnight, OpenAI released its new flagship model for the next generation, GPT 6 Astra. Officially, it’s positioned as the best AI model in the world right now!

Its core selling point isn’t just stronger Q&A. It can directly operate your computer: browse the web, write code, create PowerPoint slides, and build projects—faster, more stable, and with fewer deviations.

At the same time, this generation particularly emphasizes that Astra is the most aligned one. It understands user intent better, with less overstepping—fewer instances where it performs extra actions that go beyond user needs on its own.

For example, when it comes to the same task, it tends to take fewer detours and understands what you actually want. Even if you change requirements mid-way, it can still remember the original goal.

However, this version also comes with restrictions for users, because it has been confirmed to be extremely strong in capabilities like network security—so strong that OpenAI itself, even when following its own safety framework, has marked it as high risk.

So the network attack-and-defense capabilities that people in the market were hoping for won’t be opened up to users for now. Instead, they’ll only be available to some institutions and paying users.

For this round of tests and API costs, OpenAI also compares GPT 6 Astra with Claude Fable 5.1 across the board, and in every metric, GPT 6 Astra comes out ahead.

Too abstract. The U.S. White House created a game website; the main promotional headline is CAN'T STOP WINNING—winning without stopping.

And the games inside are even more politicized. For example, there’s a Snake game where you play as a border patrol officer, going to catch those illegal immigrants and turn them into prisoners following behind.

And Tetris is about building a border wall to fend off those illegal immigrants.

Didn’t expect that the new home-purchase policy would also include an age restriction for those over 35.

Several banks have confirmed that the new policy allowing loans for up to 40 years applies only to people born after 1991 who are under 35 years old.

The reason is that the borrower’s age plus the loan term cannot exceed the 75-year threshold.

You can still see such magical things in 2026.

Well, that’s great—now the first one to dig the whole internet’s grave, and along with their wife.
