NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO SAFETY-TEST AI
Beth Barnes' nonprofit METR is partnering with major AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic to develop safety tests for advanced AI systems, a move echoed by government initiatives. The focus is on assessing risks such as AI autonomy and self-replication, though there's acknowledgment that safety evaluations are still in early stages and cannot guarantee AI safety. METR's work is seen as pragmatic, despite concerns that current tests may not be sufficiently reliable to justify the rapid advancement of AI technologies.

BEYOND RPA: HOW LLMS ARE USHERING IN A NEW ERA OF INTELLIGENT PROCESS AUTOMATION
Despite some early successes, RPA fell short of the enterprise-wide deployments as promised. A Deloitte survey revealed that only 3% of companies were able to successfully scale their RPA initiatives. Recent advances in AI are poised to change this. LLMs’ novel capabilities prime the market opportunity for intelligent process automation to grow by at least 10x in the coming decade.

DEEP DIVE INTO BINANCE’S RECENT STRUGGLES
Binance is struggling with regulatory issues as multiple countries, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Nigeria, have taken legal action against the exchange for operating without proper authorization. The Nigerian complaint, centered on allegations of money laundering and financial instability, escalated with the detention and escape of a Binance executive. This regulatory scrutiny highlights a pattern of Binance prioritizing expansion over adherence to security and compliance standards, which could lead to increased legal challenges and a push for tighter regulations on crypto exchanges.

MAKERDAO PROPOSES ALLOCATING $600 MILLION WORTH OF DAI INTO USDE
DAI-issuer MakerDAO is considering adding $600 million DAI into Ethena’s yield-bearing USDe and sUSDe stablecoins via the Morpho lending protocol. It added an initial $100 million on March 29th, enhancing DAI yields with USDe’s funding rate arbitrage strategy. Some DAO members are hesitant to ramp up Maker’s exposure to the relatively new protocol so quickly, though the proposers maintain that the risk parameters are acceptably low.

REWARD CURVE WITH TEMPERED ISSUANCE: EIP RESEARCH POST
Ethereum researcher Anders Elowsson outlines the reasoning behind moderating Ethereum staking reward issuance. The idea is to use a curve that gradually decreases staking rewards as the amount of staked ETH increases beyond what is seen as a sufficient level. Though it may seem controversial, the argument is that Ethereum only needs so much security before paying validators becomes redundant. Elowsson argues there should be more non-staked than staked ETH to ensure the network stays neutral.

VERIFIABLE COMPUTING NARRATIVE EXPLAINED
This thread explains the premise of verifiable computing and compares it to a GPU for smart contracts. Verifiable computing enables the execution of complex tasks like computing ML models while retaining the benefits of trustless execution that blockchain provides. There are two approaches: the first uses a network of nodes to perform an off-chain computation and prove it on-chain using zero knowledge proofs, while the second is to build specific ZK coprocessor hardware that can efficiently handle verifiable computation.

VITALIK ON NEXT STEPS IN THE PURGE
Vitalik Buterin breaks down the next steps in the “Purge” – the plan to simplify the Ethereum protocol. The idea of the Purge is to remove complexity caused by underutilized opcodes and precompiles, consequently adding security guarantees. One significant upcoming change is EIP-4444, which removes Ethereum blocks from nodes after a certain time, similar to blobs today. These upgrades will make client development easier and node operation more achievable.

WHY L3S?
Offchain Labs/Arbitrum co-founder Steven Goldfeder explains the value of Layer 3s. Layer 3s reduce the onboarding cost compared to L2s since they do not require L1 bridging transactions or transfers. Similarly, chain operators have the benefit of significantly lower fixed costs to post to an L2 like Arbitrum instead of to Ethereum, especially during times of lower L3 use. This allows L2s like Arbitrum to eventually become settlement layers for an ecosystem of Layer 3s.

POLYGON LABS CEO SAYS L3S TAKE VALUE AWAY FROM ETHEREUM
Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron criticizes L3 networks, claiming they exist mainly to siphon value from Ethereum, jeopardizing its value and network security. He suggests that if L3 networks consolidate their transactions onto a single L2 platform, Ethereum may lose transaction fees, reducing the incentive for validators to secure the network, potentially devaluing Ether and threatening Ethereum’s economic future.

THE DEATH OF CRAFT
The rise of AI in the creative industry is a return to the past, as AI can only combine existing ideas and not create genuinely new ones.

WHY UX DESIGNERS SHOULD CREATE OBJECT MAPS
An aligned mental model between what users perceive and how products perform makes completing tasks easy. When mental models are not aligned, it can make using the product so difficult that users give up using it. You can facilitate and enhance the design of workflows, mock-ups, and prototypes by creating a map of the objects users create, edit, and use within a product.

HOW TO SCALE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION APP ON META ADS
This post describes an optimal Meta Ads account design for a US-focused subscription app. The account foundation is built on Manual App Ads and all ad sets use bid caps. Trial conversion tends to be low for younger audiences, so users ages 18-24 are excluded on an account level and there is limited spend on users aged 25-34. To reach the goal of targeting older audiences, the account prioritizes Facebook Feed as the top placement, followed by IG Feed for scale.
