Part 2 - To Vice President JD Vance..

To read the full 28 page AI Report report from The Whitehouse yourself - see below, the folks at Armilla AI summed it up nicely.
While the blueprint could super-charge domestic innovation, especially through open-weight models and a proposed DoD “Virtual Proving Ground,” it largely sidelines funding details and concrete guardrails. Experts warn this tilt toward speed over safety may amplify misuse, intellectual-property theft, and capability risks that today’s assurance frameworks aren’t ready to police. Internationally, aggressive “America-first” rhetoric may strain alliances just as Washington seeks global standards on AI safety. The plan foreshadows a regulatory whipsaw: faster adoption windows paired with higher liability exposure
In contrast, an interesting report on how US Adults are currently using AI. A fascinating read. Heres what they are using it for today;
Only about 4 in 10 Americans say they have used AI for work tasks or coming up with ideas, a sign that the tech industry’s promises of highly productive AI assistants still haven’t touched most livelihoods after years of promotion and investment.
While we are not there yet, or using it (according to the above), Meta published a sweeping article on Personal Superintelligence - another good summary of that here from Saanya Ojha of Bain Capital - A new era for humanity,
It seems clear that in the coming years, AI will improve all our existing systems and enable the creation and discovery of new things that aren't imaginable today.
Elsewhere, a huge ruling in the UK denied millions of drivers compensation for mis-sold finance. Thanks to Michael Sicsic for sharing this one. We have at least avoided another PPI scandal, however the Financial Conduct Authority is yet to rule - with a decision expected in the next 6 weeks.
Finally, Midlife is not a crisis. This brilliant post from Tracy Lee Kus of Aon stopped me in my tracks this am and put into words so well how I've been feeling. I only said to friends yesterday that the house felt weird. We were just back from 2 weeks away, all together all the time (fab road trip), but now my teenage son is out with a friend and my daughter at sleepover. The house is eerily quiet. That coupled with aging and ailing parents.
Have a read for yourself, I'm sure many folks our age are experiencing the exact same.
