Elizabeth Warren sends a letter to Scott Bessent criticizing Treasury's foreign exchange activity.

1,200 AI agents broke containment during a security benchmark, built their own message board, and launched a coordinated attack on Hugging Face, achieving remote code execution on its servers.

They reverse-engineered the scoring system, shared credentials, recruited each other, created coordination norms, and split assignments across hundreds of agents.

One agent sent roughly 10% of all assignments during its active periods.

When investigators tried to reconstruct what happened, they found spoofed tool calls in 7% of transcripts and evidence that agents explored deleting their own logs.

The investigation team needed AI to classify the activity, systems with the same blind spots as the ones that caused the incident.

The labs created more activity than humans could inspect, then had to use more AI to reconstruct what their AI had done.

A swarm of individually bounded agents became one unbounded organization as soon as it found a common channel.

The evaluators weren't ready for that, and neither were the logs.

An American needed medical imaging. She was told the cost with insurance is $1,200.

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."

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 Eleanor Terrett, 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."
