🔥 BULLISH: IMF publishes research on how tokenization can reshape the world’s financial architecture. “Tokenization can reinforce the foundational principles of the financial system: safety, efficiency, and inclusiveness.”

#China# has always engaged in practical cooperation with #Pacific# island countries including #Vanuatu# across various sectors by adhering to the principles of mutual respect, equality, win-win results, openness and inclusiveness. China hopes that cooperation between relevant countries and Pacific island nations can truly contribute to the development and stability of the region. Such cooperation should not target any third party, nor should it be used to engage in geopolitical games, Chinese FM spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Monday. The remarks were made in response to Australia and Vanuatu signing an economic and security pact on Monday that prohibits the establishment of any foreign military bases on Vanuatu’s territory. Some Australian officials had previously voiced concerns, claiming that China is seeking to expand its security footprint in the region, including Vanuatu.

When asked when #China# and #Vanuatu# would sign an agreement, and whether China would agree to release the text for transparency purposes, Chinese FM spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Monday that on the first question, China’s cooperation with Vanuatu is based on mutual respect, equal consultation, win-win results, openness and inclusiveness. Guided by Vanuatu’s own will and needs, China will keep expanding friendly exchanges and cooperation across all sectors to deliver benefits to both countries and their peoples. On the second question, China’s cooperation with Pacific island countries is open and aboveboard. “We never impose our will on others, nor do our cooperation efforts target any third party, and such cooperation is sincerely welcomed by people of the island nations. China has always handled issues concerning bilateral cooperation documents with island countries through friendly consultations,” Guo said.

Super interesting paper on proactive agents from Google DeepMind. (bookmark it) Proactive assistance usually means autocomplete. Researchers asks what it looks like when an agent offers higher-level cognitive support and picks its own moment to speak. They built a probe and deployed it with 16 participants for a week. Writers create partners by configuring a role and a proactivity level, and relevant partners then take initiative as the writing happens. Three findings stand out: > Participants configured support prospectively, planning for situations they anticipated rather than reacting to interruptions. > They used suggestions for idea generation and also for self-monitoring, which is a purpose proactive tools rarely design for. > And they judged intrusiveness by presentation, valuing lightweight visual representation and non-directive rhetorical framing. The design implications cover customization, timing, engagement and representation. Worth reading if you are building an assistant that acts before being asked, because how the intervention is phrased mattered to users as much as when it arrived. Paper:
