Motley Fool Money - South Korea vs. Naked Short Sellers

To stop some bad behavior, sometimes you have to stop letting people do other stuff too.

  • South Korea banning borrowing shares to address issues with illegal naked short selling.
  • Robinhood “normalizing” and becoming a little Buffett-like with its interest income.
  • The big reaction to restaurant tech company Toast’s slight guidance adjustment, and what it bodes for growth stocks.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - MONEY REIMAGINED: Media in Flux | Journalism’s Transformation Under the Internet and AI Tsunami

The challenges of crypto journalism ( journalism as a whole) and the necessity of holding key players accountable cannot be understated, as journalists grapple with the complex dynamics of a transforming industry.

This episode is sponsored by CME Group and PayPal.


In today's episode of "Money Reimagined," hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren delve into the crucial role the press plays in shaping public perception of emerging technologies. They discuss the ongoing evolution of journalism, influenced by tech monopolies and the impact of social media, that underscores the need for adaptability and a commitment to fair and balanced reporting. Furthermore, blockchain's potential to establish trust in journalism through immutable records and provenance of information holds promise, even as the limitations of blockchain analysis and AI in understanding intricate financial data remain evident. 

In the age of decentralization, journalists play a vital role in safeguarding the public interest and revealing conflicts of interest in blockchain. Outlets like CoinDesk offer comprehensive coverage and expert insights on AI and decentralized technology. In this digital era, Casey and Warren stress the ongoing importance of journalistic integrity and ethical standards, especially as AI gains prominence.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - CLASSIC: Will Google start impersonating you?

If you're like millions of other people, you hate making phone calls. "Why can't I just text," you might think, "and only call if there's an emergency?" Google may soon have a solution with Duplex, a new technology for conducting natural conversations to carry out “real world” tasks over the phone. For many this feels like a startling and innovative convenience -- no more awkward conversations making appointments or routine check-ins, right? Yet critics of this concept warn we may be approaching something much bigger, and much more dangerous, than a simple piece of helpful software. If computers begin effectively impersonating you, how will you be able to prove your own identity?
