Literary Crisis: Granta Ends Partnership with Prize Over AI Scandal
The British literary magazine Granta has decided to stop publishing stories by winners of the Commonwealth Short Story Prize. The reason is a fierce dispute over the potential use of artificial intelligence in one of the texts. This decision, in my opinion, signals growing tension between traditional literary circles and rapidly developing AI technologies.

Bitdeer demonstrates explosive growth: bitcoin mining increased by 370% year-over-year

Mining company Bitdeer is demonstrating impressive growth rates: in May, the volume of mined bitcoins amounted to 921 BTC, compared to just 196 BTC a year earlier. Thus, growth over 12 months reached 370%.
The key driver of this dynamic was a large-scale expansion of computing power. The company's own hash rate over the same period grew by almost 420% — from 13.6 EH/s to 70.2 EH/s. This indicates that Bitdeer is actively expanding its fleet of ASIC equipment and is likely using modern, highly efficient models, allowing it to remain competitive amid rising mining difficulty...
