Have you been following the first-ever reality show in the metaverse created by Binance? 👀
No? Well, It’s like 'Shark Tank', but instead of the usual faces, suits and ties, Binance dove deep into the metaverse where the sharks were hunting for the next big Web3 startup! 🦈
Here’s the tea on 'Build the Block'! 🛠
🏆 'Build the Block' is a web3 reality show Binance where web3 startups pitch their products to judges, and winners get an investment from Binance Labs.

📺 This seven-episode show premiered on May 12, 2023, and could be streamed right from your comfy couch through Binance Live or their official YouTube channel.

Nvidia researchers have developed a new bot called Voyager that can play Minecraft using GPT-4. It uses GPT4 to solve problems within the game and improve its skills. It does not play the game in the same way that a human would, as it can see the state of the game directly via an API. Unlike other bots, Voyager wrote its own code through trial and error and many GPT-4 queries!
Can you see a future where robots roam freely in our hospitals and homes? Let’s just hope nothing like Black Mirror happens IRL! 😳

The global stage is sure tuning up for the new Chinese yuan and Indian rupee duet! 🎸
Celsius Network has reshuffled its Ethereum staking strategy, pushing the waiting time for new validators to 44 days.
