AI Action Plan "critical sectors, such as healthcare, are especially slow to adopt due to a variety of factors, including distrust or lack of understanding of the technology, a complex regulatory landscape, and a lack of clear governance and risk mitigation standards." This is a feature not a bug

New: As Trump prepares to unveil his "AI Action Plan," more than 80 labor, environmental, consumer and tech watchdog groups have signed on to a "People's AI Action Plan" that calls for regulations that put ordinary people's interests over those of the industry.

2. The surcharge occurred because one of Trump's executive orders froze a grant that assists low-income residents with their energy bills. In an email, an Alabama official confirmed that the letter from Huntsville Utilities was genuine and the $100 increase was the direct result of Trump's EO.

1. Donald Trump promised that, as president, he would drastically lower Americans' energy bills. But hundreds of Alabama residents are receiving a $100 surcharge on their energy bills as a direct result of Trump's actions in the White House.

BREAKING: The White House rescinded President Trump's order to freeze all federal funding, including grants for public health, education, and safety. This cruel order would have devastated communities across the country.

Changes from ds and Qwen 2.5-Max. Fearfully - NatSec rhetoric to CCP-fear–monger US-China relations resulting in real harm to individuals. As I’ve said ds was not that surprising. Hopefully - a push from USG to see US AI talent as worthy of investment (eg. foreign-born folks, education, alt paths)

Office hot take on deepseek, very talented team using lots of methods to optimize their algorithm (as opposed to dumping tons of compute and data into it). Not surprising since US export controls intended to slow their compute access. Kind of unverifiable to know how much development compute cost.
