US AI companies, like OpenAI and Anthropic, usually keep their most powerful models locked behind paywalls for consumers or license them to enterprises. China's biggest players, in contrast, are handing theirs out for free and rolling them out across everyday tech at breakneck speed. "These developments underscore China's increasing emphasis on AI integration, application-driven innovation, and enterprise solutions rather than solely competing on model sophistication," Wang said.

Inevitably we will have to deal with significantly increasing inflation as both the House and Senate are looking to increase the federal deficit to allow for decreased revenue because of the Trump Administration’s continued tax cuts for billionaires as well increased spending on Defense of $175 billion. Given Americans will have to deal with higher prices from inflation and from tariff trade wars likely for the next few years we can expect spending will decrease and the stock market will too. Part of how some Americans have kept spending the last few years is via credit card debt but that was with the expectation the current Administration would lower prices as promised but they’re not actually doing.

For the current spending bill to pass the House and Senate need to resolve their differences on the federal deficit limit, as well. The House GOP bill increases the deficit limit to $4 trillion, but the Senate lifted it to $5 trillion so Congress would not have to revisit the issue again until after the midterm elections in November 2026. 🇺🇸

This seems like a good time for Americans to increase their emergency savings, possibly to 6-12 months, given the ongoing corporate and tech layoffs and stock market volatility due to the tariff wars as it’s unclear how long this will be going on for. From Google to Ernst & Young, mid-level executives are being laid off 🇺🇸 In the name of efficiency, major companies across various sectors are now cutting jobs, reducing pay, and also demoting long-time employees.

Food Safety Was Slipping in the U.S. Then Came Mass Layoffs. 🇺🇸 At the FDA 2,500 people were laid off, including workers in the Human Foods Program, who are tasked with ensuring food safety, and scientists at a product safety lab in San Francisco that tests foods for bacteria. Also gutted were communications staff at both FDA and the CDC, who helped coordinate response to outbreaks and informed both consumers and businesses about recalled food. It does not appear these workers were replaced with AI, automation, or any other cost-savings way to keep food sold to Americans safe.
