BlockBeats news, on April 11, renowned American angel investor and podcast host Jason Calacanis once again expressed an optimistic outlook on Bittensor and its subnet projects in the latest episode of the top business and technology podcast All-In Podcast. He recommended the audience to do some research on Bittensor Subnet 62, Ridges AI (SN62). This project is an open-source AI coding assistant/agent platform that anyone (including anonymous contributors) can help improve. Jason stated that this project reached about 80% of Claude 4's performance in just 45 days through Bittensor's incentive mechanism, spending only about 1 million US dollars in TAO rewards during that period. Jason Calacanis used this to emphasize the innovation speed brought by decentralization + open source + incentive mechanisms, once again showing his optimistic view on Bittensor. It is worth noting that this is not the first time Jason Calacanis has been bullish on Bittensor. On the 23rd, he also posted “TAO＞BTC” as a call on social media. Reportedly, Jason Calacanis was an early investor in unicorn companies including Uber, Robinhood, and Calm, and is a veteran investor in Silicon Valley. He also founded Stillcore Capital, a fund dedicated to investing in Bittensor ecosystem subnet projects, and has long expressed a positive outlook on TAO.

Multiple media outlets reported on the 11th that Oliver Jankovec, Director General of Airports Council International Europe, recently wrote to the EU Commissioner responsible for Energy and Tourism affairs, stating that as the summer tourism peak approaches, the supply of aviation fuel in Europe is becoming "increasingly worrying." If the Strait of Hormuz does not resume navigation in a "significant and stable" way within three weeks, the EU "will face a systemic shortage of aviation fuel," disrupting air transport and airport operations and "seriously undermining the European economy." The letter states that traditional aviation fuel prices may remain high in the medium to long term, and "relying solely on market forces and self-regulation is not feasible." The EU should collectively procure aviation fuel, temporarily relax relevant restrictions and regulations on imported aviation fuel, and increase support for sustainable aviation fuels.
