A search for 'Guo Wei' in ORCID returned 616 profiles, none affiliated with the Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, highlighting the difficulty in verifying academic identities.

Afroman's response to the botched raid was not just a legal victory; it was protest art in the modern age—raw, low-budget, absurdist, and deeply American.

TezQuest is designed as an interactive layer to TezDev, turning the event into a hands-on experience rather than a series of talks. Attendees are encouraged to explore projects across the ecosystem, complete challenges, and directly interact with teams building on Tezos.

The Open Wallet Standard (OWS) is designed to solve fragmentation in the agent economy by allowing artificial intelligence (AI) agents to hold value and sign transactions without exposing private keys.

The internet you experience daily-endless scrolling, algorithmic feeds serving content you didn't ask for, AI-generated slop clogging search results-isn't the only internet available. It's just the one that's easiest to stumble into. You're not stuck with the internet that has evolved alongside the rise of hegemonic platforms.

Moltbook was developed as a sort of experimental playground for interactions among AI "agents," which are bots that have access to and can use programs. Claude Code, a popular AI coding tool, has such agentic capabilities, for example: It can act on your behalf to manage files on your computer, send emails, develop and publish apps, and so on. Normally, humans direct an agent to perform specific tasks.
