1. White House said to consider vetting AI models before release

Representational image generated using ChatGPT.

  • The Trump admin is reportedly discussing an EO to create an AI working group.

  • The group would bring together tech executives and officials to shape oversight procedures.

  • UK-style review process could be adopted.

  • Last week: officials outlined plans to Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI executives.

2. The Eye-Bag Fix 1,000,000 Men Use Daily.*

Particle.

  • Fortune 500 CEOs don’t wait and see when eye bags start showing up. They fix the problem fast, before it becomes the new normal.

  • That’s why Particle Anti-Aging Face Cream sold out so quickly once the executive crowd discovered it. It’s a 6-in-1 anti-aging solution built for men, targeting eye bags, wrinkles, and dark spots with a powerful blend of 12 high-grade ingredients.

  • If you want that sharper, younger look that signals energy and authority, this is the move. Use code BAY20 for 20% off and free shipping before it sells out again.

3. Brockman says OpenAI stake worth ~$30B as Elon texts threats before trial

  • Elon Musk’s lawyer asked Brockman why he hadn’t donated most of his earnings to OpenAI’s nonprofit.

  • Attorney Steven Molo pressed Brockman on a 2017 journal entry asking what would take him to $1B.

  • Brockman disputed Molo’s claim, saying he was weighing options as OpenAI explored a for-profit shift.

  • Musk texted Brockman 2 days before filing suit.

  • Stuart Russell, Musk’s sole AI expert witness, warned of risks but was barred from discussing existential threats.
