▌Boop.fun: The airdrop plan will be ended ahead of schedule, and the new incentive system will be launched within 1-2 weeks

According to Dingaling, the founder of Boop.fun, the team found some obvious loopholes in the airdrop incentive design and decided to end the current airdrop plan ahead of schedule. The new incentive system will be launched within 1-2 weeks to support more meaningful project launches. The original intention was good, but it failed in the design of the incentive mechanism and failed to effectively promote the healthy development of the ecosystem, so it was decided to stop this ineffective practice. If the airdrop quota has been obtained within the vesting period, these quotas will still be valid and can be accelerated by completing specific tasks. Unclaimed BOOP will be reallocated for a brand new reward system. The system will be launched in the next 1-2 It will be launched within the week, with the goal of better supporting meaningful token issuance and incentivizing users who are truly willing to build for the long term.

▌Can general general artificial intelligence really think like a human?

When the line between humans and machines becomes blurred, we see general artificial intelligence (AGI). Unlike narrow artificial intelligence (ANI), which uses artificial intelligence to solve a single problem, AGI refers to artificial intelligence that can understand, learn, and apply knowledge in a way that is indistinguishable from human cognition.

AGI is still in the theoretical stage, but the prospect of artificial intelligence being able to fully replace human input and judgment has naturally attracted widespread attention, and researchers, technical experts, and academics are working hard to turn the concept of AGI into reality.

Currently, another mainstream research is trying to explore the feasibility and impact of AGI and ANI in a world increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence.
