The Newspaper That Helped Shape the Course of the Long March

LANZHOU, China, Sept. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — During the Gansu leg of the “Together on the Long March” CICG International Communication Project, Liang Xiaoyuan, son of founding lieutenant general Liang Xingchu, visited the historic Long March sites in Hadapu and recalled a remarkable episode involving his father.


The Newspaper That Helped Shape the Course of the Long March

In Hadapu, Liang Xingchu was assigned by Mao Zedong to search for “spiritual nourishment”—newspapers and other sources of information. A copy of Ta Kung Pao obtained during the mission contained reports about the situation in northern Shaanxi, providing the Central Red Army with important information as it determined where to advance next.

That newspaper helped turn Hadapu, a small town in northwest China, into a key historical landmark on the road toward the Long March’s eventual destination.

ARTPRICE NEWS: A WORLD-BOOK BECOMES A MIRROR FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

OpenAI/Astra, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Google Gemini and xAI/Grok are confronted with the same work: a meta-reading experiment turns literary criticism into a comparative laboratory for artificial intelligence.

PARIS, Sept. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What if, in order to understand artificial intelligences, we gave them exactly the same book to read?

"Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI" by thierry Ehrmann
“Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI” by thierry Ehrmann

That is the experiment now accompanying “Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI”.

A world-book written by Thierry Ehrmann becomes a mirror for artificial intelligence.

After hundreds of hours of dialogue, human thought, archives, questions, and contradictions gave rise to a book whose pen was entrusted to artificial intelligence.

https://www.dialoguebetweenathinkerandai.com/en/

Today, the book also exists materially: its French and English editions are in print. But the experiment does not end with the book. It now turns back toward the artificial intelligences themselves.

We didn’t ask AI to judge the book. We asked AIs to read it — and then to read each other.

The complete corpus is submitted to several major systems:

OpenAI / Astra, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, and xAI / Grok.

They all receive the same object. But do they produce the same reading?

https://www.dialoguebetweenathinkerandai.com/en/meta-reading/

FIVE AIs. ONE BOOK. FIVE MAPS?

The objective is not to organize a competition between models.

It is precisely the opposite.

The purpose is to observe their convergences, divergences, and blind spots.

Which concepts do they spontaneously identify? Which theses do they consider central? Which passages do they connect? Where do their interpretations diverge?

And above all: what happens when each is subsequently given access to the analyses produced by the others? At that moment, a meta-reading emerges.

AI no longer merely reads the book.

It reads another AI reading the book.

A third system can then analyze that confrontation. Commentary becomes corpus. The corpus becomes new material for analysis.

CRITICISM CHANGES DIRECTION

For centuries, we have used critics to better understand books.

This experiment also proposes the reverse movement:

using a book to better understand those who read it.

The same work thus becomes a kind of cognitive mirror placed before several artificial-intelligence architectures. This mirror does not ask: “Which AI is right?”

What Gemini thought of the analysis produced by Grok.

DeepSeek’s response to the critique by OpenAI Astra.

It asks: “Why don’t they see exactly the same thing?”

The distinction is essential. Because their divergences themselves become information.

THE HUMAN RETAINS THE FINAL SAY

This experiment does not delegate human judgment.

It demands more of it. The human remains the one who compares, doubts, contextualizes, and decides.

The machine produces readings. The human also observes the gaps between those readings.

Dialogue Between a Thinker and AI thus becomes simultaneously a book, a corpus, and an open experiment into the plurality of artificial intelligences.

The book was meant to be read by humans.

It now also becomes an object through which humans can watch AIs read.

NOTES TO EDITORS

The meta-reading experiment makes it possible to examine, among other things:

  • what Google Gemini observes in the analysis produced by xAI/Grok;
  • DeepSeek’s response to the critique produced by OpenAI/Astra;
  • the convergences, divergences and blind spots revealed by confronting the different readings.

“We didn’t ask AI to judge the book. We asked AIs to read it — and then to read one another.“

Binance Launches Foreign Exchange Perpetual Futures, Expanding 24/7 Access to the Largest Financial Market

  • First FX perp: USDBRLUSDT (USD/Brazil Real) goes live September 21, 2026 at 14:00 UTC.
  • Built for FX gaps: Dual-mode pricing maintains fair and orderly markets when traditional FX liquidity thins on weekends.
  • Proven weekend leadership: Binance’s TradFi-linked perps have already become primary venues for weekend price discovery, leading peer venues by 2.6–3.8×.

ABU DHABI, UAE, Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Binance today introduced Foreign Exchange (“FX”) perpetual futures under its TradFi Perpetual product category, bringing regulated USDT-settled, 24/7 access to the world’s most actively traded market. The first FX perpetual contract, USDBRLUSDT (USD/Brazil Real), will go live on September 21, 2026 at 14:00 (UTC).

“FX is one of the world’s most foundational markets, traded every moment to hedge and express macro views. Unlike most traditional asset classes, FX already operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, and weekend trading activity is growing — though liquidity is not as robust outside weekday sessions. With Binance’s deep liquidity and global user base, we’re well positioned to extend continuous price discovery into the gaps that traditional FX cannot cover, giving traders a single venue to express macro views, hedge exposure, and capture opportunity around the clock,” said Shunyet Jan, Head of Exchange and Trading at Binance.

The case for 24/7 TradFi perps is already backed by data. By April, Binance’s gold perpetuals were exhibiting institutional-grade weekend price discovery, according to Binance Research — with weekend price movements correctly predicting the direction of Monday’s opening gap approximately 89% of the time.[1]

In mid-September, Binance’s equity perps linked to AI and semiconductors became the primary live market for investors to express views before Wall Street reopened, capturing approximately 53% of combined weekend volume across five major venues for the most directly linked pre-IPO AI-linked contracts and approximately 59% for the most exposed semiconductor contracts, leading the second-ranked venue by roughly 3–4× in both cases.[2]

TradFi perpetuals feature no expiry dates and no need for contract rollovers, with consistent fee and margin mechanics across all contract types. Traders can express views on FX, commodities, and equities markets, hedge related exposures, and diversify strategies using USDT as a single settlement currency.

To support continuous trading when underlying FX markets have limited hours, Binance applies a dual-mode pricing framework. During regular FX trading hours — Sunday 17:00 (ET) to Friday 17:00 (ET) — the price index is updated every second as a weighted average of constituent prices from third-party data vendors (Standard mode). During weekends and public holidays — Friday 17:00 (ET) to Sunday 17:00 (ET) — the system transitions to Orderbook EWMA mode, using an exponentially weighted moving average of orderbook prices to maintain fair and orderly pricing when traditional FX liquidity is thinner. Additional controls include multi-source indices, mark price mechanisms, and deviation constraints to reduce dislocation risk.

When trading goes live, FX Perpetual Futures under the “TradFi” category will be available on Binance Futures via web, app, and API. Users can navigate to the “TradFi” tab under the symbol search bar to explore the new contracts and related TradFi perpetual offerings. The TradFi asset-name search function on the Futures trading page in the app will be progressively rolled out to users.

Contract Specifications: USDBRLUSDT

  • Contract Type: USDT-Priced, USDⓈ-M Perpetual Contract
  • Underlying: 1 US Dollar (USD) to Brazil Real (BRL)
  • Scheduled Launch Time: September 21, 2026, 14:00 (UTC)
  • Settlement Asset: USDT
  • Tick Size: 0.0001
  • Min Trade Amount: 0.01 USDBRL
  • Min Notional Value: 5 USDT
  • Capped Funding Rate: +0.375% / -0.375%

[1] By April 2026, Binance’s gold perpetuals were exhibiting institutional-grade weekend price discovery, with weekend price movements correlating approximately 0.80 to Monday’s futures gap, explaining approximately 66% of its variance (R² ≈ 0.66), capturing a median 57% of the Friday-close to Monday-open adjustment, and correctly predicting the gap direction approximately 89% of the time — evidence that when weekend news hits, Binance’s TradFi perps set a credible price that traditional markets largely confirm on Monday.

[2] Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s September 12 “We Must Pace the Frontier” post drew weekend endorsements from Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Demis Hassabis, Binance’s equity perps became the primary live market for investors to express views before Wall Street reopened, capturing approximately 53.2% of combined weekend volume across five major venues for the two most directly linked pre-IPO perps (OpenAI + Anthropic) — leading the second-ranked venue by approximately 2.6× and lifting its own volume approximately 102% to $68.38M — and approximately 58.8% for the two most exposed semiconductor perps (SOXL + SK Hynix), leading the runner-up by approximately 3.8× and nearly doubling volume to $861M.
