Mike Tomlin’s 12-year Minecraft city goes viral after first YouTube tour

Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has spent 12 years building the same city in Minecraft, a long-running personal project that only recently became public. On Sept. 30, he released the first video on his YouTube channel, walking viewers through a boutique hotel, luxury apartments and a CVS inside the world he built over more than a decade. According to Kotaku, the debut video had reached 1.5 million views by the time of writing, while Tomlin’s X post promoting the release drew 25,172,115 views and 163,548 likes. In the video, Tomlin said he got into Minecraft after watching his children play and became attached to the game’s creative mode, even though he did not see himself as someone with the controller skills for competitive games. He said his son later convinced him to share the project publicly. The response quickly spread beyond viewers, with official NFL and Minecraft accounts both leaving comments under the video.

White House launches 24/7 official stream "Trump TV"

The White House has launched a 24-hour video stream called "Trump TV: The Essentials Station" on Monday night local time, according to BlockBeats. The stream is available on the White House website and the White House’s official YouTube channel, and it is described as a one-stop feed for the current Republican administration’s "biggest moments," major speeches, and highlight clips with real-time updates. The first broadcast featured Donald Trump’s July 3 speech at Mount Rushmore. At the same time, the White House account posted a promotional image carrying the line "Streaming 24/7." The launch comes as tensions between the White House and major media outlets have intensified. Trump recently barred CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from entering the White House, while the television pool including ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and Fox then halted shared video coverage of presidential events. The White House has framed the in-house stream as an "unfiltered highlight live feed" designed to bypass traditional television distribution.

Fake AI bot tutorials led 224 victims to deploy and fund their own drainers, TRM says

A scam built around fake YouTube tutorials persuaded 224 people to deploy and fund malicious smart contracts themselves, according to a Sept. 14 analysis from TRM Labs. The blockchain intelligence firm said the operation drained 274.60 ETH between Feb. 12 and Aug. 11 through 234 victim-deployed contracts that routed funds to six collection addresses controlled by the operators. At the time of the transfers, the stolen ETH was worth about $517,205, and the median loss was 1 ETH. TRM said the scheme stood apart from standard drainer campaigns because it did not depend on malicious token approvals or spoofed websites. Victims selected a tutorial, copied code, deployed a contract, and funded it from their own wallets, making the activity look self-initiated to wallet security tools. In the version TRM reviewed, a fake compiler site replaced the code pasted by the user with a different contract fetched from an operator-controlled server. The substituted contract had no arbitrage logic and no AI capability. Instead, it accepted deposits and sent balances above 0.05 ETH to the operators when users clicked Start or Withdraw. TRM also said one site tried to trigger a second payment with a fabricated error message, while the nine identified videos were still online in September with 310,474 combined views.

Cardano developer IOG tells users to stay away from its YouTube channel after suspected hijack

Input Output Group, the development company behind Cardano, warned users not to interact with its YouTube channel after the account began livestreaming what appeared to be an AI-manipulated video of Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson. The stream promoted a crypto giveaway and told viewers they could “double your wealth” by scanning a QR code. According to the report, the livestream presented itself as a town hall for Project Catalyst, Cardano’s decentralized community innovation fund and grant program, and remained live for nearly two hours. In a notice posted on its official X account, the company told users to avoid the channel until further notice and said they should not click any links, send funds, or share personal information in response to the content. Cointelegraph said it had contacted Input Output Group for comment.

Tulip King argues retail trading could define the next 20 years of market structure

A PANews article compiled from commentary by Tulip King frames the rise of retail trading as more than a reaction to economic stress or speculative desperation. The piece argues that what looks like chaos on the surface may actually be the turning point of a much longer cycle, one in which open networks, creator culture and crypto-native financial rails push individual participants closer to the center of global markets. To make that case, the article compares crypto with YouTube. Just as YouTube lowered the cost of publishing and distribution, allowing creators to challenge television, newsrooms, consumer brands and even Hollywood, crypto is described as doing something similar for trading and finance: always on, permissionless, global and cheap to access. The article points to Bitcoin, Zcash, stablecoins, Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, prediction markets, perpetual futures and flash loans as signs that crypto has already built new monetary and market infrastructure. Tulip King also argues that the next stage may revolve around social trading. Streamers with visible track records, onchain performance data and creator-style distribution could shape how traders are followed, how capital is allocated and how talent is hired. Even so, the article does not claim everyone will make money. Its narrower point is that future market volume may become far more retail-driven, even if profits remain concentrated among the most skilled participants.

Google adds video agent to Gemini API, with analysis costs cut by as much as 66%

Google has rolled out Agentic Video Understanding for the Gemini API, adding a mode that lets the model decide which parts of a video to inspect and how to inspect them. In the standard setup, video is sampled at a fixed 1 frame per second and then loaded into context all at once. The new mode changes that workflow: Gemini can search along the timeline for relevant segments and choose whether to use visual frames, audio, or transcript text based on the question being asked. If it encounters fast motion, it can raise the frame rate and check again. According to Google’s own testing, enabling the feature on Gemini 3.7 Flash reduced token consumption by as much as 88%, lowered analysis costs by as much as 66%, and improved relative accuracy by up to about 7%. Google said the system can identify moments shorter than one second and also find specific details buried inside videos that run for hours. The feature is now available on Gemini 3.7 Flash, 3.6 Flash, and 3.5 Flash-Lite, supports both uploaded videos and YouTube videos, and does not carry an extra feature charge. Google also said it plans to bring the capability to the Gemini App and YouTube’s Ask YouTube.

Saint Youtuber says he is back on YouTube, but channel records show uploads had already resumed in June

Taiwanese YouTuber Saint, also known as Saint Stone, posted a video on Aug. 28 saying he was returning to YouTube, citing years spent helping his wife seek medical treatment and then caring for their child. He said the family only regained enough time after hiring a foreign domestic helper in April. As speculation spread online that he had returned because crypto losses forced him back to work, Saint answered with a brief line: people work to make money, and no one thinks they have too much of it. BlockTempo compared that claim with the public upload history on his channel and found the Aug. 28 video was not his first release of the year. He had already resumed posting on June 4 and had uploaded 15 videos in total by Aug. 28. The outlet also noted that Bitcoin has risen 21.29% over the past 30 days, but Saint’s return to posting began before that rebound. The report also revisited his earlier ties to crypto, including NFT activity, promotion of Sweetyard Dog, and his past statements that he had already withdrawn his principal from crypto investments.
