Nansen CEO: If CZ had acquired FTX back then, he might now indirectly hold significant shares in Anthropic and Cursor.
According to Odaily Odaily, Alex Svanevik, CEO of on-chain data analytics platform Nansen, stated in an article published on the X platform that, from a hindsight perspective, if Binance founder CZ had completed the acquisition of FTX back then, his potential asset structure might have changed significantly. He might have indirectly held approximately 8% of Anthropic, approximately 5% of the AI programming tool Cursor, and some investment interests related to SpaceX. It is understood that CZ disclosed its intention to acquire FTX in November 2022, but abandoned the acquisition due to problems found during due diligence that were beyond its control. Subsequently, FTX filed for bankruptcy protection.

U.S. senators from both parties jointly introduced a resolution opposing Trump's pardon of SBF.
According to Mars Finance, on June 18, Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis and Democratic Senator Rubén Gallego supported a non-binding resolution to be introduced on Wednesday, opposing a presidential pardon, commutation, or any form of administrative clemency for former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). The resolution states that SBF should not receive administrative clemency under any circumstances, including a presidential pardon or commutation. The resolution also states that if President Trump approves SBF's pardon request, it will "erase his conviction, weaken deterrence, and send a gravely wrong signal that perpetrators of massive financial fraud can escape permanent accountability." Since the power of presidential pardons is constitutional, the resolution is non-binding. SBF had previously formally applied to Trump for a pardon. Last week, a U.S. federal appeals court upheld his conviction and sentence, leaving him with only a presidential pardon or an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court as his remaining legal options. SBF was convicted in November 2023 of seven felony counts involving the misuse of FTX user funds and sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2024.

Tencent announced that Tian Yonglong, a former researcher at OpenAI, has joined the company to participate in the development of VLM.
According to sources at Tencent, Yonglong Tian, a former researcher at OpenAI, has recently joined Tencent's Large Language Model Department and will participate in the research and development of VLM (Visual Language Model). This marks another instance of Tencent poaching talent from OpenAI. On December 17th last year, Tencent announced an upgrade to its large model R&D architecture, establishing the AI Infra Department, AI Data Department, and Data Computing Platform Department. Former OpenAI senior researcher Yao Shunyu was appointed as the Chief AI Scientist in the "CEO/President's Office" (reporting to Martin Lau), and concurrently served as the head of the AI Infra Department and the Large Language Model Department (reporting to Lu Shan). This announcement garnered widespread attention on social media. (The Paper)
The narrative of AI "stealing jobs" is cooling down, and tech giant CEOs are collectively turning optimistic.
According to BlockBeats, on July 6th, executives from several tech companies recently adjusted their statements regarding the impact of AI on employment, shifting from emphasizing that "AI will massively replace jobs" to believing that AI is more about improving productivity and creating new jobs. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the industry previously underestimated the role of humans in AI systems; Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said that AI could either drive layoffs or help companies accomplish more without increasing staff, the outcome depending on management decisions. A recent survey by EY-Parthenon shows that the proportion of executives who believe AI investment will lead to large-scale layoffs has decreased from 46% in January 2025 to 20% in May 2026. A joint study by Ramp and Revelio Labs shows that companies investing heavily in AI are experiencing approximately 10% higher employee growth rates than their counterparts that haven't invested in AI. Despite Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon CEO Andy Jassy both stating that AI has the potential to create more jobs, both companies have continued to streamline their organizations this year, raising questions about the corporate AI narrative. A survey by technology consulting firm Emergn shows that approximately 20% of US business managers report that internal AI project reports exaggerate achievements and downplay problems. Industry insiders believe that the commercialization of AI is slower than market expectations, and the application effects vary significantly across different industries and scenarios. --------------------------------- Click the original link below to join Beating's AI news channel on Feishu, monitoring global AI hotspots and news 24/7.
