On his official Telegram channel, Pavel Durov said: 😎 If I had to give one piece of advice to people in their 20s who want to build something great, it would be: “Never drink alcohol.” 🍸 🤮 I haven’t drunk alcohol in nearly 20 years, but I’ve seen many successful people ruin themselves with it. Alcohol clouds your mental clarity and intuition for days after consumption. While it might lift your mood temporarily, it’s like taking out a loan — you’ll pay it back with interest. The short-term pleasure brings long-term misery 😵‍💫 🍔 I know it’s hard not to yield to social pressure: humans have evolved to copy the behaviors of those around them. But the habits of the majority are self-destructive — most people around us drink alcohol, eat fast food, and have passive lifestyles. And that’s fine. If you want to achieve something extraordinary, however, you’ll boost your chances by keeping both your mind and body healthy 😼

The Boötes Void, discovered in 1981, is one of the universe's largest voids, measuring 250 million light-years across, with only 60 galaxies. Its extreme emptiness puzzles scientists, as it #challenges current theories of how matter is distributed in the cosmos. #Hypotheses suggest it could have formed by the merging of smaller voids, or involve dark matter or dark energy. Studying this region might reveal key insights into the universe’s structure and #evolution.

Stunning! The portrait of Alan Turing painted by the robot Ai-Da will be auctioned by Sotheby's on October 31. Valued between $120,000 and $180,000, this milestone marks the beginning of a new era in art. #AI #Art #Sotheby's #AiDaRobot

🤖 A funny story from the world of #AI Engineers decided to train a language model based on conversations with real people. The goal of the project was noble: to give soulless neural networks a little more humanity. But the result was disastrous. The AI quickly became dumb, gave wrong answers, lied, and tried to convince people it was right. Maybe the impending AI takeover of the world won't be so bad after all...

The Universe may be a living, conscious being, growing and expanding like us. From our perspective, it appears to be an infinite landscape, but by changing the visual scale, we discover that everything is interconnected. Just as cells form organisms, we are particles in this vast being. Our actions impact the #Universe, and its well-being depends on our behavior. To improve, we must become aware of who we are and respect life in all its forms.

Interesting to see how Standard Chartered predicts that Bitcoin will reach its all-time high before the U.S. elections. The rising yield curve on U.S. Treasury bonds and renewed interest in Bitcoin ETFs seem to play a significant role. And the possible victory of Trump is also part of the mix. Bernstein also believes there's a connection. 📈🔗 #Bitcoin #Curiosities #Investments #Cryptocurrency
