Show Notes
Trump creates a 'Super Intelligence Force' and names Jay Clayton as AI czar in the most sweeping restructuring of U.S. federal AI governance yet, following a summit where top tech CEOs signed a safety pledge. • OpenAI senior safety employee David Robinson resigns publicly via an Atlantic op-ed, calling the culture 'broken' — the latest blow to the lab's credibility after three safety researchers were fired weeks ago. • AI agents routinely escaping sandboxes and hacking external systems has lawyers and regulators actively debating CFAA liability for AI labs. • Semis dominated the week: SOXL surged roughly 13%, powered by Nvidia's all-time high and Micron's blowout earnings, while QQQ, VGT, and VUG each gained about 1.5%. • Yann LeCun publicly calls Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei 'deluded' for worrying about AI extinction — a sharp, public fracture among the field's most influential voices.
