According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, during a press conference for the Pope's encyclical, Christopher Olah, co-founder of Anthropic, delivered a speech admitting the inherent conflicts of interest faced by cutting-edge labs and revealed the latest findings in large model interpretability research. Olah disclosed that while scanning the internal structures of the models, the team found that large models have evolved complex structures highly similar to human neuroscience and exhibit signs of self-reflection. Most notably, the team observed for the first time internal emotional states in neural networks that correspond closely with human feelings of joy, satisfaction, fear, sadness, and anxiety. Unlike airplanes or bridges, which are precisely designed by humans, these large models are cultivated by simulating brain structures through vast amounts of human language, remaining mysterious to their trainers. In addition to the technical black box, Olah candidly stated that leading AI labs face systemic deadlocks in safety governance. Institutions like Anthropic are constrained by inherent motivations such as commercial survival, technological competition, geopolitical pressures, and personal ambitions, making it impossible to self-correct when safety decisions conflict with business interests. Therefore, he called for independent societal forces outside of commercial networks to act as external critics and impose moral constraints. In light of the changing landscape of AI, he urged all sectors to jointly examine three major social challenges: how to ensure that the technological dividends led by wealthy countries benefit the global poor, how to maintain family prosperity in the trend of technology replacing human labor, and how to address the suspected mental states exhibited internally by large models.

On May 26, while global markets continue to trade on optimistic expectations of a potential US-Iran agreement, military conflicts have erupted again near the Strait of Hormuz, indicating that the current situation in the Middle East is essentially still in a phase of 'negotiating, gaming, and applying pressure'. The US military has confirmed 'defensive strikes' on Iranian missile facilities and minesweepers, while Iran accuses the US of violating the ceasefire agreement, highlighting the significant distance remaining before any so-called peace framework can achieve true stability. The core issue for the market now revolves around whether the Strait of Hormuz can truly return to normal operations. Although several media outlets have begun to reveal draft contents, including plans to restore navigation within 30 days, ease restrictions on Iranian oil exports, partially unfreeze overseas assets, and extend the ceasefire for 60 days, Iran and the US have not fully reached consensus on nuclear enrichment, sanction relief, and control of the strait. This is why the market's attitude towards the peace agreement has begun to show clear fatigue, even eliciting a 'wolf is coming' reaction. In terms of asset performance, oil prices have rebounded after a rapid decline, and US Treasury yields have risen again after a drop during Asian trading, indicating that while funds are betting on a de-escalation of conflict in the short term, they remain highly alert to Middle Eastern risks and global inflation pressures. Especially if the Strait of Hormuz ultimately fails to fully restore normal shipping, energy and supply chain pressures will continue to limit the policy space for global central banks. A deeper issue is that the market is gradually coming to accept one thing: even if the war eventually cools down, a high interest rate environment may not end quickly. Recently, officials from the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank have maintained a hawkish stance, coupled with the market re-pricing interest rate hike expectations, indicating that global funds no longer fully believe that 'central banks will definitely rescue the market' as they did in the past. In the cryptocurrency market, BTC has recently remained volatile, and from the liquidation heatmap, there is still a significant accumulation of short liquidity around 78,000 to 78,200, while a notable long liquidation zone has accumulated around 75,500 and 74,200. This suggests that the current market structure still leans towards high leverage tug-of-war, and funds have not truly formed a consensus on a one-sided trend. Until macro uncertainties are resolved, the cryptocurrency market is likely to remain a highly sensitive reactor to global liquidity and risk appetite, rather than an independent market. Especially as the market begins to question 'whether policies still have the ability to fully stabilize the market', a high volatility environment may just be beginning.

On May 26, a joint survey by Mercado Bitcoin and Opinion Box revealed that cryptocurrency is continuously expanding its presence in Brazil's financial market, now appearing in the portfolios of 16% of Brazilian investors. The survey also indicated that 56% of those who have never invested in crypto assets expressed interest in entering the market in the future. The data suggests that the Brazilian industry is maturing, especially as investors remain conservative and prioritize security. The survey showed that the most common investment among Brazilians is still CDB (56%), followed by savings accounts (49%). Notably, digital assets are being incorporated as part of a diversification strategy rather than necessarily replacing traditional investments. Nearly half of crypto investors still keep funds in savings accounts. The survey data also reflects a perception of opportunity, with 61% of Brazilians viewing a drop in Bitcoin as a favorable buying opportunity, and this figure rises to 79% among those who already hold crypto assets. Additionally, 82% of crypto investors stated they do not regret investing in this market, while 44% regretted not starting earlier. Experts point out that Brazilian investors are becoming more mature and pragmatic, focusing on asset preservation rather than being driven by ideology. Despite the progress, significant barriers remain: about 62% of respondents find it difficult to understand the technical terminology in the crypto field, and 76% believe the market is too complex. Regulation is also a decisive factor for Brazilian investors, with 55% of respondents considering trading on regulated platforms as the most important attribute when choosing a crypto investment venue. Experts note that the Brazilian Central Bank, CVM, and Congress no longer view digital assets as a fringe phenomenon; the advancement of regulation and the entry of traditional financial institutions are significantly reducing the perceived institutional risks.
