On May 15, U.S. President Trump stated that his patience with Iran is running thin, urging Tehran to reach an agreement with Washington. He also hinted that the demand to reclaim Iran's enriched uranium is more about creating a certain 'perception' rather than for security reasons. 'My patience won't last much longer,' Trump said, 'They should reach an agreement.' When asked about the necessity of obtaining enriched uranium from Iran, Trump suggested that aside from public relations purposes, there is actually no need for this demand. Trump stated, 'To be honest, if we could get that enriched uranium, I would feel more secure. But I think this is more about public relations than any other purpose.' (Jinshi)

According to Beating monitoring, San Francisco tech journalist Jasmine Sun published a lengthy investigative report in The New York Times, concluding after interviewing over 50 researchers, economists, and policy experts that the consensus among Silicon Valley AI practitioners is that the economic outlook for most ordinary people is bleak, yet no one knows what to do about it. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicts that by 2030, 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs may disappear, while Block CEO Jack Dorsey laid off nearly half of his employees in March, directly attributing this to AI agents. In a follow-up article, she documented the starkly different attitudes observed during her visit to China. When she relayed the anxiety of American recent graduates struggling to find jobs due to AI to Chinese youth, her 24-year-old cousin scoffed, stating that the issue in China is simply too many people competing for too few jobs. Juan Yan, author of 'Delivering in Beijing,' also mentioned that blue-collar colleagues are too busy making a living to consider the threat of AI replacement. This contrast has specific causes. Since the expansion of higher education in 1999, a large number of knowledge workers have been produced, but the available positions are far from sufficient, leading to significant youth unemployment even before the advent of AI. Labor costs are also low; a Zhihu user pointed out that replacing a job with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan with AI is not cost-effective, while jobs in the U.S. with annual salaries exceeding $100,000 are the real hotspots. The Chinese attitude towards AI is not one of fear but rather eagerness to learn; a WeChat analysis article succinctly summarizes that discussions about AI in China fall into two categories: one urging you to learn quickly and the other pushing you to get on board. Policy differences are also significant. AI policy researcher Matt Sheehan found that a labor arbitration case in Beijing ruled that firing an employee solely because AI could perform their job violated the Labor Contract Law. During her visit, she also noticed that parks and subway stations in China are staffed with far more cleaners and security personnel than necessary, effectively serving as a buffer for employment.

On May 15, John Williams, President of the New York Federal Reserve, delivered a public speech on Thursday, stating that in the context of significant uncertainty due to conflicts in the Middle East, there is currently no need for the Federal Reserve to consider adjusting interest rate policies. He emphasized that the overall monetary policy is in an appropriate range, with no rationale for either raising or lowering rates in the short term. 

Williams expressed these views at an event hosted by the National Association for Business Economics, maintaining a consistent policy stance. He highlighted the importance of stabilizing inflation expectations, noting that while short-term inflation expectations have risen slightly, this is a normal phenomenon, and long-term inflation expectations remain stable, which is crucial for overall price stability. 

Regarding the impact of tariffs, Williams believes that the inflationary effects of tariffs have largely been absorbed, and it is essential to continue monitoring the evolution of overall price pressures. 

Williams pointed out that current inflation expectations are generally under control, and the labor market has not further pushed up prices. There have been no unusual second-round effects or persistent inflation inertia in the market, but he stressed the need for close observation and vigilance in monitoring. 

Commenting on the continued strength of the U.S. stock market, Williams stated that this is not surprising given the level of optimism regarding the economic outlook. He noted that the market holds optimistic expectations for future productivity gains, with advancements in technology such as artificial intelligence serving as significant support. 

Additionally, he gave a positive assessment of the Federal Reserve's current ample reserves banking liquidity management system, stating that it is functioning well.

On May 15, according to CCTV, under the new circumstances, both China and the United States should actively expand cooperation to create a constructive tone for bilateral relations. It is essential to deeply understand that competition is not a zero-sum game of you win, I lose, nor is it a malignant game of camp confrontation and decoupling; rather, it should be a healthy competition of mutual promotion and progress, serving the common interests of both countries and the overall peace and development of the world. A correct understanding must be established: as two countries with different civilizations, systems, and paths, China and the U.S. will inevitably have differences. The key is to uphold the spirit of equality, respect, and reciprocity, and to find wisdom and methods to resolve these differences. China and the U.S. should strengthen cooperation to maintain the stability of the international order, solidifying the foundation for peaceful coexistence among nations and creating a favorable environment.

On May 15, Slow Fog's Yu Xian announced on social media that the high-risk iOS attack framework Dark Sword has been publicly leaked on platforms like GitHub and is being used for large-scale espionage attacks targeting cryptocurrency wallet holders. This attack program targets devices running iOS versions 18.4 to 18.7, exploiting vulnerabilities in the Safari browser through malicious web pages to achieve remote code execution and steal users' sensitive data. Attackers initiate attacks using bait web pages impersonating pornographic live streams, Tron energy stations, refund processes, and more. iPhone users running older iOS versions may have their sensitive information, such as plaintext private keys and mnemonic phrases, stolen by malicious JavaScript code when accessing such web pages via Safari (even if the page is not closed), with the data being relayed in real-time through channels like Telegram bots.

The ETF will begin trading tomorrow. Bitwise stated that Hyperliquid is one of the most important on-chain trading platforms globally. In light of the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East that erupted early Sunday morning and the closure of traditional markets, institutions did not wait for Monday's opening and turned to Hyperliquid. According to DeFi Llama data, Hyperliquid accounts for approximately 60% of the total open contracts across all on-chain perpetual DEXs; Chainspect data shows it processes 200,000 orders per second and has established a reliable operational record at critical moments. Hyperliquid has achieved significant market adoption in a very short time without relying on venture capital. Bitwise stated that the launch of this ETF aims to provide investors with a convenient and low-cost way to participate, with built-in staking rewards. The company also noted that as capital markets migrate on-chain, Hyperliquid is expected to be one of the biggest winners.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin wrote a post exploring the different types of ZK-EVM and ZK-EVM-like projects, and the trade-offs between them. He describes a taxonomy of different "types" that are equivalent to multiple EVMs, along with the benefits and costs of trying to implement each type.
Vitalik Buterin concluded that personally, his hope is that everything becomes Type 1 over time, through a combination of improvements in ZK-EVMs and improvements to Ethereum itself to make it more ZK-SNARK-friendly. In such a future, we would have multiple ZK-EVM implementations which could be used both for ZK rollups and to verify the Ethereum chain itself. Theoretically, there is no need for Ethereum to standardize on a single ZK-EVM implementation for L1 use; different clients could use different proofs, so we continue to benefit from code redundancy. However, it is going to take quite some time until we get to such a future. In the meantime, we are going to see a lot of innovation in the different paths to scaling Ethereum and Ethereum-based ZK-rollups.
