France announces over 100 billion euros in investment in artificial intelligence
On the eve of the AI Action Summit, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France will invest 109 billion euros in artificial intelligence over the next few years. Macron stated that he hopes France can seize the opportunities brought by this new era, and said that 100,000 young people will be trained in this project. He emphasized that Europe must avoid regulating first and innovating later when facing the challenges of artificial intelligence, otherwise it will deviate from the track of innovation and fall behind in this field. The AI Action Summit is scheduled to be held in Paris, France from February 9 to 12.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated in a blog post that AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is gradually emerging, and its impact may surpass all previous technological revolutions. He proposed three key observations about the economics of AI:
1. The intelligence of AI models is logarithmically related to computing resources - the investment in training computing, data, and reasoning computing can be increased infinitely and obtain sustained, predictable returns.
2. The cost of using AI decreases by about 10 times per year - for example, the cost per word of GPT-4 in early 2023 is about 150 times lower than the cost of GPT-4o in mid-2024, far exceeding the growth rate of Moore's Law.
3. Linear growth in intelligence brings exponential social and economic value - this drives continuous investment, which will not stop in the short term.
Altman predicts that AI agents (such as software engineering assistants) will become "virtual colleagues" and permeate various industries. He believes that the economic impact of AI may be similar to that of the transistor, changing the world in ways that are not easily noticeable but extremely far-reaching. At the same time, the widespread adoption of AI may lead to a sharp drop in the cost of some commodities, while the prices of scarce resources such as land may rise.
He emphasizes that policies and social consensus are crucial to the future of AGI. To ensure that the benefits of AGI are widely distributed, a new economic model such as providing a "computing budget" to every person in the world may be needed. He believes that by 2035, everyone should be able to mobilize intellectual resources equivalent to the global intelligence of 2025, which will greatly unleash human creativity.
According to a message posted on the X platform by the President of the Central African Republic, Faustin-Archange Touadéra, he has announced the launch of the Meme Coin CAR, calling it an "experiment aimed at uniting the people, supporting the country's development, and putting the Central African Republic on the world stage". He emphasized that as the second president in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, he has always recognized the global potential of cryptocurrencies.
Furthermore, he stated that he is working with the X platform to restore the @CARMeme_News account (which has been frozen), and confirmed that the CAR token supply has been securely locked through @streamflow_fi, and will be executed according to the distribution plan and release schedule.
On-chain data shows that CAR briefly surpassed $0.48, and is currently trading at $0.28, with a total market capitalization of around $280 million. It is currently unclear whether Touadéra's account has been compromised.

According to Similarweb data, in the global website traffic ranking for January 2025, ChatGPT (chatgpt.com) has for the first time risen to the sixth position, with a traffic share of 2.33%, a monthly increase of 5.91%. Google remains in first place with a 29.21% traffic share, and YouTube is ranked second. Sam Altman retweeted this, saying: "There's still a long way to go to catch up with Google."

According to Lookonchain monitoring, a trader purchased 46.57M $CAR tokens with 25 SOL ($5K) within 1 second after Faustin-Archange Touadéra announced the $CAR contract address. Subsequently, the trader sold 22.65M $CAR tokens, receiving 8,395 SOL (approximately $1.67M), and still holds 23.92M $CAR tokens (worth approximately $10.5M).
Within just 3 hours, the trader's initial investment skyrocketed 2450 times, and the current total value of their holdings exceeds $12 million.
Michael Saylor releases information related to the Bitcoin Tracker again
MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor has released information related to the Bitcoin Tracker again, stating: "The blue line is gone. Long live the green dots." (Note: MicroStrategy previously marked a green dot on this website on the corresponding date each time it bought BTC, while the BTC price trend line was in blue.) According to the previous pattern, MicroStrategy usually increases its Bitcoin holdings the day after such related news is released.
