Hey Learners! 📚 They say you learn something new every day, and that’s true.. if you’re a Waivly Learn reader.
It’s that time of the day where you get to learn something brand new or level up your knowledge and skills on a topic you’ve already started to explore.
Today, we’re learning about Web3 risks. Let’s dive in!
TODAY’S LESSON
SECURE YOUR DIGITAL FUTURE TODAY
Web3 Risks You Can’t Ignore
Web3 is exciting, but it comes with risks that shouldn’t be ignored. The decentralized nature of Web3 puts the responsibility for your assets directly on you. Whether you’re into crypto, DeFi, or NFTs, it’s crucial to understand these risks and take steps to protect yourself.
First, security is critical. Unlike traditional systems, Web3 doesn’t have support teams to help you recover lost keys. If you lose access to your wallet, there’s no going back. Using a hardware wallet and keeping your private keys safe is non-negotiable. Protect your assets by keeping your keys private and secure.
Scams and hacks are prevalent in Web3. While blockchain itself is secure, bad actors target vulnerable users. Phishing attacks, fake token sales, and rug pulls are common. Always verify sources and be cautious with unsolicited offers. Taking a moment to double-check can save you a lot of trouble.

The complexity of Web3 is another risk. DeFi platforms and smart contracts can be confusing, and small mistakes can cost you. Make sure to understand what you’re doing before interacting with a platform. Do your research and stick to well-reviewed projects to minimize risks.
Regulatory uncertainty is a big factor in Web3. Governments are still figuring out how to regulate crypto and decentralized tech, and that can impact your investments. Stay informed about legal developments and be ready for changes that could affect your holdings.
Psychological risks are also real. FOMO (fear of missing out) can lead to impulsive decisions, like jumping into risky investments or chasing trends. Stick to your strategy and avoid making decisions based on hype. Take your time and make informed choices.
Lastly, Web3 is still evolving, and the landscape is unpredictable. While it offers great potential, it’s essential to stay cautious and educated. By understanding the risks and taking protective steps, you can safely navigate the decentralized world and make the most of Web3.

Hey Learners! 📚 They say you learn something new every day, and that’s true.. if you’re a Waivly Learn reader.
It’s that time of the day where you get to learn something brand new or level up your knowledge and skills on a topic you’ve already started to explore.
Today, we’re learning about why AI needs good data. Let’s dive in!
TODAY’S LESSON
WHERE AI GETS ITS SMARTEST IDEAS
Why AI Needs Good Data
If AI is the engine, data is the fuel. And just like you wouldn’t put dirty gas in a sports car, you don’t want to train an AI model on messy, low-quality data. The performance of an AI system—how smart it seems, how accurate its responses are, how useful it becomes—depends almost entirely on the quality of the data it's fed.
Good data doesn’t just mean a lot of it. It means accurate, relevant, unbiased, and well-labeled data. For example, training a facial recognition model on photos that are mostly of one demographic will skew its accuracy. The model might perform well for some people and terribly for others, not because the algorithm is bad—but because its foundation was flawed.
AI systems learn patterns from whatever you give them. If the training data includes typos, gaps, or inconsistencies, the model will internalize that noise. You might end up with a chatbot that confidently answers questions... incorrectly. Or a recommendation system that feels off because it’s drawing from outdated or irrelevant data.

Superhuman AI
This is why data cleaning and curation are just as important as the algorithm itself. Before any AI can be useful in the real world, someone has to make sure the input it’s learning from is solid. That means removing duplicates, standardizing formats, fixing errors, and making sure the data actually reflects the problem it’s trying to solve.
Context also matters. A dataset of restaurant reviews might be great for sentiment analysis—but not if you’re trying to build a voice assistant. The type of data you collect should always match the goal of the model. No matter how advanced the AI, it can’t compensate for input that doesn’t make sense.
At the end of the day, the saying “garbage in, garbage out” has never been more true. The smarter AI gets, the more important good data becomes. Want AI that feels truly intelligent? Start by feeding it something worth learning from.
