谷歌同意资助加州新闻媒体,州政府也将捐款

币界网报道:

在未来五年内,谷歌已同意向加州新闻编辑室和人工智能中心提供高达2.5亿美元的财政支持。随后,加利福尼亚州议员提出的两项法案将被两年后达成的这项协议所取代。

加州还将通过第一年每年3000万美元的承诺以及随后四年每年1000万美元的新闻基金提供资金。加州大学伯克利分校新闻学院将主办该基金。另一方面,谷歌的捐款包括一年1500万美元,此后每年1000万美元,以及用于人工智能相关开发的其他资金。

记者和立法者反对谷歌的融资协议

然而,这一财政承诺受到了新闻业和政界人士的谴责。西方媒体协会主席马特·皮尔斯表示,这是一次“彻底的失败”,他声称谷歌给纳税人带来了更多的负担。此外,他担心这并没有解决加州独立新闻采集长期严重下降的问题。

州参议员史蒂夫·格雷泽也表达了这些担忧,他表示谷歌的资金“完全不足”,也低于支持加州新闻业所需的资金。这低于其他国家与谷歌达成的协议,例如加拿大每年7400万美元的协议。

谷歌资助AI加速器作为媒体支持协议的一部分

这意味着谷歌不仅将为新闻编辑室做出贡献,还将为国家人工智能创新加速器提供资金。这项计划将在包括新闻业在内的各个行业尝试人工智能应用,并看看它如何帮助他们。然而,OpenAI在其他人工智能公司中的参与已经考虑到了人工智能技术是否对新闻有更广泛影响的问题。

谷歌全球事务总裁肯特·沃克表示,历史表明,这项协议正在支持新闻业和当地新闻生态系统。州长加文·纽瑟姆赞扬了这一举措,称“重建一个强大而充满活力的加州新闻队伍”是有希望的

然而,根据代表全国近2000家美国报纸的新闻/媒体联盟的说法,应该有联邦立法要求新闻内容的出版商获得公平的报酬。对他们来说,谷歌继续主导搜索引擎,从而从重新打包信息中赚钱,而谷歌则不为此付费。

In the AI Era, What's Left for Bitcoin?

As Bitcoin falls below $60,000, the author reflects on the relationship between AI and Bitcoin, seeing them as two sides of the same coin. In the AI era, the cost of generating content has plummeted, making fake text, images, and videos increasingly easy and cheap to produce. This has led to a fundamental shift: while AI dramatically lowers the cost of information production, it also undermines trust and authenticity online. What becomes truly valuable is not more content, but the ability to verify what is real—"verifiability." This perspective offers a new lens for Bitcoin. Its massive energy consumption, often criticized as wasteful, is reinterpreted. While AI burns energy to enhance "capability" and efficiency, Bitcoin burns energy to produce "verifiability." Its purpose is not to be trusted but to enable a system where no trust in intermediaries—banks, platforms, or developers—is needed. Every transaction and the entire ledger's history is secured by cryptography and a decentralized network of nodes, making it independently verifiable. AI cannot forge a transaction on the Bitcoin network because the system is designed for proof, not generation. The author draws a historical parallel to the Renaissance: the printing press drastically reduced the cost of copying knowledge, while double-entry bookkeeping reduced the cost of trust in commerce. Today, AI is the new printing press, reducing content creation costs to near zero. Blockchain, and Bitcoin as its pioneer, may be the modern equivalent of double-entry bookkeeping—a foundational technology for verifying digital asset ownership and historical records without centralized authorities. Thus, AI and blockchain are not competitors. AI lowers the cost of creation; blockchain lowers the cost of verification. In an age where AI can generate anything, true scarcity may lie not in more content, but in independently verifiable facts. Whether the market will reprice Bitcoin accordingly remains uncertain, but its core value proposition as a "machine for producing verifiability" becomes strikingly relevant.

In the Age of AI, What's Left for Bitcoin?

Author: Sevclub, Seven Research Amid Bitcoin's recent drop below $60k, the author reflects on a growing sense that AI and Bitcoin are two sides of the same coin. Today, encountering any content triggers a new default question: "Was this made by AI?" The cost of generating convincing text, images, and video is now negligible. While the internet lowered information *distribution* costs, AI is crashing information *production* costs to near zero. The consequence is a flood of content where truth and falsehood are increasingly indistinguishable. In this environment, what becomes truly valuable is not more information, but the ability to verify what is real—"verifiability." This reframes the common criticism that Bitcoin "wastes electricity." AI consumes power to produce "capability" (e.g., more powerful models). Bitcoin consumes power to produce something else: "verifiability." Bitcoin's core purpose isn't about belief or trust in any institution, developer, or even its creator. It's about enabling independent verification. Every bitcoin's origin, every transaction, and the integrity of the entire ledger are secured by mathematics, cryptography, and a global network of nodes. AI can fabricate convincing media, but it cannot falsify a transaction on the Bitcoin network. The expended energy makes篡改历史 (tampering with history) prohibitively expensive, purchasing a globally verifiable ledger. The author draws a historical parallel to the Renaissance. The printing press drastically reduced the cost of copying knowledge, while double-entry bookkeeping reduced the cost of trust in commerce—one enabled creation, the other verification. Today, AI is the new printing press, driving content production costs toward zero. The question becomes: what is this era's "double-entry bookkeeping"? Blockchain appears to be the leading candidate. It doesn't verify which news is true or which image is real, but it provides a foundational layer for independently verifying asset ownership and historical records in the digital realm without centralized authorities. Therefore, AI and blockchain are not in competition. AI lowers the cost of *generation*. Blockchain (and Bitcoin as a prime example) lowers the cost of *verification*. One creates, the other proves. Whether Bitcoin ultimately succeeds remains uncertain, facing potential challenges from quantum computing, regulation, and technical evolution. However, the author now sees it less as a "machine for making bitcoin" and more as a "machine for making verifiability." In an age where AI can generate anything, true scarcity may no longer be "more content," but "more independently verifiable facts." Whether the market will price this accordingly is a separate question.
