Dogecoin co-founder Billy Marcus, known on social media as “Shibetoshi Nakamoto,” shared one of his sarcastic predictions in the tech space on X/Twitter.
Marcus is a regular content creator for X, so he often comments on hype subjects and topics beyond cryptocurrencies in his tweets. One of these is the recent rapid development of artificial intelligence, and today Shibetoshi Nakamoto posted a tweet about it.
“AI and VR killer app”
Billy Marcus tweeted what appears to be a tongue-in-cheek prediction of which apps will displace AI (artificial intelligence) and VR (virtual reality) apps in the future. He believes that one option could be an app that combines the two, creating an “AI + VR anime girlfriend.”
Earlier this month, Marcus also touched on the topic of AI in a tweet dedicated to his New Year’s resolutions. With the rapid development of OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot and other flagship companies working on their own AI products, people will likely start experimenting with these “virtual assistants” in different fields, he said. I guessed it. That list included things like drawing, learning to code, writing a novel, becoming a lawyer, and other options.
This year, Google and Microsoft (which owns OpenAI) have already announced their own AI-based products, with Microsoft offering a free version of Copilot for testing. Now, OpenAI has upgraded the paid version of his ChatGPT to a level where it can generate images similar to the Midjourney app.
DOGE creator comments on Bitcoin price surge
Earlier this week, Dogecoin’s co-founder posted a sarcastic and darkly sarcastic tweet commenting on Bitcoin’s recent price plunge. It happened on January 23rd, when Bitcoin faced a massive liquidation of $100 million worth of cryptocurrencies (including BTC), falling below the $40,000 level.
Currently, the main cryptocurrency has managed to recover by 2.24% and regained the $40,000 level. Therefore, since Tuesday this week, Bitcoin has recovered 5.45%, rising from a low of $38,739.
On January 18, Bitcoin reached a local high of $42,864, but subsequently fell 9.72% as Bitcoin showed high volatility after the ETF approval.
