ARK Invest, owned by Cathie Wood, said in its 2023 Big Ideas research report that aerospace costs are declining, thanks to advancements in deep learning, mobile connectivity, sensors, 3D printing, and robotics. As a result, satellite launches and rocket landings are proliferating.
In the coming decade, satellite broadband and hypersonic flight could generate annual revenues of ~$84 billion and ~$270 billion, respectively.

We're starting to see top companies spend the same amount on RLHF and compute in training ChatGPT-like LLMs
For example, OpenAI hired >1000 devs to RLHF their code models.
Crazy, but soon companies will start spending $ hundreds of Ms or $ billions on RLHF, just as w/compute.

What's new in DeFi?
First of all, the downward trend in fundraising was finally reversed.
There were 105 crypto fundraising deals worth $1.27B in January – up from 83 deals in December 2022.
It's a good bullish sign, if the amount of deals and their USD value continues to increase.
The web3 and infrastructure fields saw the most deals. DeFi accounted for 18 of those deals—up from just 10 in December. However, by value, DeFi lags behind every other sector, raising only $68.2M in total.
Diva is a an Ethereum Liquid Staking Derivative (LSD) protocol powered by Distributed Validator Technology (DVT).
Stake $ETH and receive tradable divETH that earns staking rewards.
You can also install 'diva operator' and earn extra rewards on your ETH by running a node.
The goal of Diva is to further decentralize Ethereum staking,
Diva protocol relies on Distributed Key Generation for more resilience to outages and censorship.
Team raised $3.5M from Gnosis, Bankless, OKx, and many more angle investors than I have friends.

Replay in our brains has been compared to "experience replay" in AI agents
But new research suggests this phenomenon is more computationally rich than we thought - and could help us understand how the mind integrates deep learning with reasoning.

Japanese prime minister says DAOs and NFTs help support government’s ‘Cool Japan’ strategy
Fumio Kishida said there were “various possibilities for using Web3” in Japan and has previously supported blockchain-based initiatives for authorities using digital solutions.
Kishida said there were “various possibilities for using Web3” in Japan. He added that the Japanese government could use aspects including nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) in efforts to revitalize regions and promote “Cool Japan” — a national strategy aimed at showing off the country’s innovations and culture to the rest of the world.
Taira chairs the government’s task force on Web3 policy. He pointed to coordination with tax authorities in Japan as well as research into releasing a digital yen. The country’s central bank announced in November it planned to start a pilot program for a digital currency starting in spring 2023.
“I think that these types of blockchain technology and technology using Web3 are effective in solving the various problems we have,” said Taira.
“If you consider DAOs, people who are interested in the same social issues can form a new community,” said Kishida. “NFTs can also be used to diversify the income of creators and maintain highly loyal fans.”

⚡️ Google invests $300 million in Anthropic as race to compete with ChatGPT heats up
Anthropic was founded in 2021 by the team behind AI breakthroughs such as GPT-3 and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF).
“We're partnering with Google Cloud to support the next phase of Anthropic, where we're going to deploy our AI systems to a larger set of people,” said Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. “This partnership gives us the cloud infrastructure performance and scale we need.”
Anthropic is focused on developing and deploying Claude, an AI assistant based on the company's research into building safe, steerable AI. Anthropic has created safety techniques like Constitutional AI to create AI technologies that are easier to rely on and understand.
