Token commitments to insiders: Multiple people from ZkSync (Alex Gluchowski, Steve Newcomb, Marco Cora) confirmed that there will be a token. They mentioned that ⅓ of the tokens are reserved for insiders. \[2] This sounds like they have already made a commitment to allocate tokens to key stakeholders. Why would they not launch a token?

- EY invests null.4 billion in AI tech, launches new platform
Ernst & Young revealed billions of dollars of investments into AI technologies and the launch of a new AI-powered platform for its clients and internal personnel.
Ernst & Young (EY), one of the Big Four global professional services providers, announced the development of a new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered platform for its clients.
In a post on Sept. 13, the London-based firm revealed it had invested null.4 billion into AI technologies for its new EY.ai platform, which aims to help organizations adopt AI. The platform is based on EY’s own large language model (LLM), EY AI EYQ.
It said that a collaboration with Microsoft provided EY with early access to Azure OpenAI capabilities, including ChatGPT-3 and ChatGPT-4. EY also jointly invested with Dell in Dell Generative AI Solutions, which aims to simplify the adoption of generative AI with LLMs.
The billions in AI investments will also go to embedding the technology into existing EY services, such as EY Fabric, which is already used by 60,000 clients with millions of unique users, along with the acquisition of additional technology supporting cloud and automation.

- Bitcoin Mining Operations Continue to Expand Amid the Crypto Winter, While Converting 'Wasted Gas to Energy at Scale'
The bitcoin mining industry continues to expand as companies are obtaining more megawatts of capacity, building new facilities, and acquiring thousands of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining rigs. On Friday, the firm Validus Power revealed it has acquired two natural gas power stations in Ontario, Canada, that will become crypto mining facilities. On the same day, the firm Applied Blockchain got a $15 million loan to fund growth and “buildout of its data centers.” While the bitcoin mining industry’s growth has been exponential, at the same time, bitcoin mining operations are making a significant dent toward cleaning up the world’s CO2 emissions.
