Decentralized crypto exchange Rails has raised $6.2 million in funding to fill the void left by crash-ridden FTX in 2022. The startup aims to straddle the divide between centralized and decentralized exchanges by building out both types of underlying technology. Rails, currently in early stages, plans to offer an offshore service in select crypto-friendly countries, excluding the US. The fundraising round was led by Slow Ventures along with CMCC Global, Round13 Capital, and Quantstamp. The capital will be used for hiring engineering talent and expanding the exchange's licensing and regulatory strategy. Rails aims to address the gap in perpetual futures trading for institutional clients and high-net-worth investors. The exchange is focused on user experience, offering centralized computing for risk management and decentralized custody for fund ownership. Rails plans to go public in September or Q4 2022.

OpenAI is testing a new feature on its ChatGPT model that adds long-term memory. Users can ask ChatGPT to remember specific details, see what it remembers, and ask it to forget. This feature aims to enhance the conversational experience by allowing the model to retain information and preferences between sessions. While privacy concerns are raised, OpenAI assures users that they have control over what information is stored and that efforts are being made to address biases and protect sensitive data. The memory feature is currently being tested with a small group of users and will be rolled out more widely in the future.

OpenAI's ChatGPT-4o is rolling out its "Advanced Voice" features, allowing users to engage in audio conversations. The voice synthesis technology gives ChatGPT a more natural and human-like cadence, making interactions feel more engaging. However, ChatGPT emphasizes that it is still a computer program and lacks real emotions or consciousness. People may form parasocial relationships with AI, but it should not replace human connections. Interruptions in conversations with AI are acceptable, and the technology aims to adapt to the natural flow of dialogue. Despite the convincing nature of AI's voice, its responses are based solely on patterns and instructions.
