According to a report by the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, there is a significant price disparity in the embodied intelligence data collection industry. For the same 1-hour period, the listed price for high-quality real machine data can reach 300 to 1000 yuan, while the hourly wage for end collection workers is as low as 8 yuan, with some original data transactions even dropping to 3 to 5 yuan per hour.The investigation found that the price difference mainly stems from multi-level subcontracting and the resale of data copies. A hundred-yuan order from the client, after being passed through five or six intermediaries, leaves the grassroots collectors with only about 15 yuan. The baseline remuneration for county-level projects is around 30 yuan/hour; falling below this standard poses compliance or source risks. Additionally, the resale of non-original data three to five times is "very common" in the industry, with some teams monetizing the same material through private copies or additional equipment for simultaneous recording.The report points out that while the industry loudly claims that high-quality data is scarce, data collection service providers are valued at tens of billions; on the other hand, low-priced copies are rampant, and data traceability has failed. Some intermediaries gain pricing power through order control, with domestic data producers averaging a gross profit of about 20% to 30%.

According to an interview with "Daily People," a data center operations engineer who has worked in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia for 5 years stated that local AI data centers are still under large-scale construction, but the hiring demand at his company has significantly decreased. The company hired thousands of people in 2025, but by the time of the interview in 2026, only 3 new hires had been made.The engineer, who goes by the pseudonym Zhang Liwei, originally worked on an assembly line at an automobile factory. When he first switched careers, his internship monthly salary was 2,000 yuan, which increased to 4,500 yuan after graduation. After 5 years of job hopping and promotions, he currently earns over 10,000 yuan per month. In April of this year, DeepSeek was hiring senior operations engineers and senior delivery managers for its data center in Ulanqab, offering a monthly salary of 15,000 to 30,000 yuan, with 14 months' salary. These positions require extensive experience in data center operations and project management. According to Zhang Liwei's observations, local ordinary duty staff still earn around 5,000 to 6,000 yuan per month, while assistant engineers can earn over 10,000 yuan.The entry barriers are also rising. In 2024, some data centers were still hiring newcomers without relevant professional backgrounds; however, this year, some companies have required candidates to have a relevant degree and work experience, and there is even a 35-year age limit for basic duty positions. Zhang Liwei mentioned that a former colleague has started a training class for operations, charging nearly 20,000 yuan per student, and classes only start when there are 60 students, with a single session fee approaching 1.2 million yuan. The so-called internal recommendations are mostly just to help students secure an interview opportunity.

According to a report by Decrypt, a national survey commissioned by the cryptocurrency policy advocacy organization DeFi Education Fund and conducted by Ipsos shows that 22% of American adults have held or used cryptocurrency, up from 18% in 2025, but the usage rate over the past 12 months remains flat at 13%. The survey, conducted from September 8 to 16, interviewed 1,545 adults, with a margin of error of ±2.8 percentage points. The growth almost entirely comes from users who have dropped out: among those who have not used cryptocurrency in the past year, the proportion who had held or used it rose from 5% to 11%; the willingness to purchase in the future also remains flat, with 17% indicating they might hold or use it in the future, compared to 16% last year.In terms of user demographics, the usage rate for men in the past year was 18%, while for women it was 8%, with the former being more than double the latter. Adults under 60 showed a significantly higher usage rate than older individuals. The primary reason for trying cryptocurrency is curiosity (34%), followed by long-term investment (25%). Respondents expressed significant unease about the traditional financial system: only 19% believe it is safe, and 63% think it needs to be upgraded to address cybercrime and AI threats; 60% are concerned about data breaches at large financial institutions, and 54% doubt their ability to withstand AI-driven threats, while 74% indicate that financial privacy is important.This skepticism has not translated into trust in cryptocurrency. Only 4% have high trust in cryptocurrency exchanges, and 5% have high trust in decentralized platforms, while large national banks and credit unions have trust levels of 42% and 48%, respectively. The knowledge gap is also significant: only 2% of Americans are very familiar with DeFi, 6% can identify all four characteristics of cryptocurrency listed in the survey, and 35% are completely uncertain about how to describe cryptocurrency. However, 40% indicate that if DeFi were available, there is at least some possibility they would try it, with over 80% stating they would use it to save money, earn interest, or send money to friends and family; the desire to understand stablecoins and DeFi decreased from 11% to 7% and 8%, respectively.

According to Bloomberg Law, Arkansas and its Oil and Gas Commission requested the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday to overturn a lower court order. The order prohibits the enforcement of the state's law that restricts foreign entities from holding digital asset mining operations. The lower court previously determined that the law may have been rendered ineffective by federal regulations taking precedence.Joseph Nelson from the Arkansas Attorney General's Office rebutted this determination. He stated that the law falls within the core area of state police power, and the restricted entities are consistent with countries that the federal government has identified as threats to national security. The law was passed in 2024 and prohibits citizens or businesses from countries subject to U.S. Department of State weapon export controls from holding interests in digital asset mining equipment in the state.
