An American needed medical imaging. She was told the cost with insurance is $1,200. When she said she'd have to cancel because she couldn't afford it, she was put on hold. Another woman came on the phone and offered her a lower cash price. The insurance markup is the scam.

Rep. Tom Emmer on the CLARITY Act. "It's gotta get done. You had almost 100 Democrats vote for it out of the House a year ago, and it still languishes over in the Senate." Emmer adds that the Senate is "going to have to get this stuff done very quickly."

Nvidia has reportedly agreed to acquire Hugging Face, the popular open-weight AI model platform, for $12.9 billion.

@TFTC21

The OCC and FDIC are moving to finalize a rule that would define "unsafe or unsound practices" in bank supervision, a term that has been undefined for years and relied on the broad discretion of bank examiners. Per @EleanorTerrett, the rule would require supervisors to tie alleged unsafe or unsound practices to an actual violation of law or material financial risk, making it harder to use vague reputational concerns to pressure banks over lawful customers, including Bitcoin and crypto companies. Another significant step toward unwinding Operation Choke Point 2.0.

Eric Weinstein compares commercial AI to wheeling Hannibal Lecter out on a gurney. "That's what I think Anthropic is doing. Here's your new employee, Hannibal Lecter. He's a consultant. You've hired Hannibal Lecter from a temporary agency."

Hugging Face's Microduck robot learns to move entirely through reinforcement learning. The robot trains in simulation using MuJoCo and PPO on GPUs, then the trained policy is exported to ONNX and deployed on the real hardware. The repo includes policies for walking, fall recovery, sitting, standing, kicking, ground picking, and roller skating. Train in simulation, test the behavior, export the policy, run it on a real robot. x.com/Alacritic_Supe…

President Trump says Micron will invest an additional $10 billion in new U.S. research labs, bringing the company's total commitment to $250 billion. Trump says the investment will create "tens of thousands of American jobs."

CNBC: The CLARITY Act would be a “good upside catalyst,” but Bitcoin and crypto “will persist” without it.

OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman published an open letter calling for collective action on cyber defense, signed by over 100 organizations including Anthropic, AWS, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Oracle. "In the coming months, AI-enabled cyber attacks will become far more widespread and sophisticated as models around the world become increasingly capable. The companies and public services our communities depend on, from hospitals to water treatment plants to the infrastructure that powers the internet, are at risk." The letter argues there's a narrow opening to act. "Today's AI advances are already giving defenders new ways to fix weaknesses that have accumulated for years. If we act decisively, we can use the defenders' window to make our digital world much more secure." Three principles frame the response. Recognize that "status quo security won't be enough," empower more defenders with "cyber-capable AI" that "brings specialist skills to more defenders and makes core security tasks faster, cheaper and better," and mobilize a collective response because "no single company should control the future." The letter calls on frontier AI companies specifically to "provide responsible model access, significant funding, training, and hands-on support, especially for under-resourced critical-infrastructure defenders" and to "ensure agentic identities are traceable and accountable."
