RLUSD, Ripple's U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin, brings high liquidity and compliance-ready infrastructure to the Web3 economy. By enabling RLUSD transactions across Imagen's ecosystem, the platform aims to streamline payments, reduce volatility for creators and communities, and provide a scalable alternative to native tokens for everyday transactions.
Users will soon be able to use RLUSD to customize profiles, unlock AI creation modules, activate node-hosting features, and support community-led initiatives across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana. The integration also aligns with Imagen's mission to foster a user-first decentralized economy with flexible, accessible, and secure digital tools.
This move follows Imagen's growing list of stablecoin and asset-backed support, including its XRP reserve and BTC-funded infrastructure rollout. RLUSD brings added stability and utility to the Imagen ecosystem-marking another milestone in its push to make AI-powered, creator-led social interaction universally accessible.

Behind the Scenes, Sam Altman Is Absolutely Furious

The tug of war for artificial intelligence developers between Meta and OpenAI is devolving into a knock-down, drag-out fight. In an effort to revive his crumbling AI program, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has recently declared open season on OpenAI's staffers. The billionaire tech mogul is said to be hand-selecting AI researchers and developers to build out a "superintelligence" AI lab, offering up to $100 million in sign-on bonuses if they leave OpenAI for a seat at Meta's table. So far, OpenAI has lost at least eight researchers to Meta, as offers to top staff continue to grow. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman — never one to sit back and take it from his fellow billionaires — responded to the threat by giving his employees a mandatory week off as the company's executives scramble to plug the holes on their leaky ship. Meanwhile, Altman is fuming. In a fierce reply to Zuckerberg's poaching spree directed toward OpenAI's research department, Altman lashed out at his rival tech tycoon and made his lengthy case for why OpenAI employees should stand their ground. "We have gone from some nerds in the corner to the most interesting people in the tech industry (at least)," Altman said in a Slack post viewed by Wired. "AI Twitter is toxic; Meta is acting in a way that feels somewhat distasteful; I assume things will get even crazier in the future. After I got fired and came back I said that was not the craziest thing that would happen in OpenAl history; certainly neither is this." Altman's comments refer to a brief ousting by OpenAI's board of directors in 2023, before being reinstated just a few days later. "Meta has gotten a few great people for sure, but on the whole, it is hard to overstate how much they didn't get their top people and had to go quite far down their list; they have been trying to recruit people for a super long time, and I've lost track of how many people from here they've tried to get to be their Chief Scientist," Altman continued. "I am proud of how mission-oriented our industry is as a whole; of course there will always be some mercenaries," the CEO said, adding that "missionaries will beat mercenaries." To keep workers on the hook, Altman hinted that OpenAI is "assessing compensation for the entire research organization," according to Wired. "I believe there is much, much more upside to OpenAl stock than Meta stock." Both companies swirl around an almost messianic faith in "artificial general intelligence," or AGI, the supposed point at which AI's cognitive abilities match up to or exceed a human's. So far, that remains a pipe dream — Microsoft's CEO recently expressed doubts that OpenAI can achieve AGI — but the promise still looms large in the fight to build the dominant AI monopoly. "We actually care about building AGI in a good way," Altman evangelized. "Other companies care more about this as an instrumental goal to some other mission. But this is our top thing, and always will be."

Microsoft lays off 9,000 in AI drive, bringing total job cuts to 15,000 this year

announced today it will cut approximately 9,000 jobs, representing just under 4% of its global workforce, in its largest round of layoffs since 2023. The reductions, which span multiple divisions, geographies, and levels of seniority, come as the company continues to report robust financial results but seeks to streamline operations and adapt to rapid shifts in the technology landscape. Despite posting an 18% year-over-year increase in net income last quarter—reaching $25.8 billion—Microsoft is moving ahead with significant headcount reductions. The company cited a need to reduce organizational layers with fewer managers and streamline its products, procedures and roles. In its official statement, Microsoft said: 'We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company and teams for success in a dynamic marketplace.' The layoffs are part of a broader restructuring effort that has now seen over 15,000 jobs eliminated this year, including 6,000 positions in May. This latest round is expected to impact sales, customer-facing roles, and the Xbox gaming division. Xbox head Phil Spencer told staff the company would 'end or decrease work in certain areas of the business and follow Microsoft's lead in removing layers of management to increase agility and effectiveness.' Microsoft's move reflects a wider trend among major technology companies, many of which are undergoing similar workforce reductions as they double down on artificial intelligence. The company has invested billions in AI infrastructure, and CEO Satya Nadella recently noted that up to 30% of Microsoft's code is now written by AI tools. While Microsoft has not directly attributed the layoffs to AI replacing human workers, the timing and focus of the cuts suggest a shift toward a leaner, more automated organization. The layoffs underline that the job market in tech is tightening even as companies like Microsoft continue to deliver strong earnings.
