Bitcoin ATMs were (and still are) the most tangible and literal implementation of crypto. They turned the process of buying and selling crypto from an abstract act done on a screen and moved it into the real world, enabling people to buy Bitcoin without verification, a bank account, or any real understanding of how custody […]

Every now and again, a billionaire doesn’t get what he wants. On Monday, Elon Musk was handed a rare loss when a federal jury in San Francisco unanimously threw out his lawsuit against OpenAI’s top leaders, including CEO Sam Altman. Musk had alleged that Altman illegally enriched himself when converting OpenAI—the nonprofit both men helped co-found—into a for-profit company. The jury, however,…
AI researcher Emily Kate Genatowski and her robot Tova are testing the limits of modern society. Through "tangible confrontations," she reveals that the biggest hurdles for humanoid robots are bureaucratic and legal, not technical. Is the world ready for the future?
Last month, Anthropic made a remarkable announcement about its new model, Claude Mythos Preview: it was so good at finding security vulnerabilities in software that the company would not release it to the general public. Instead, it would only be available to a select group of companies to scan and fix their own software.
The announcement requires context—but it contained an essential…

Florida became the first state to criminally investigate an AI model on Tuesday, and Attorney General James Uthmeier’s charges could lead to big changes in how the technology is regulated.
Uthmeier, a Republican, launched a criminal probe into ChatGPT and its parent company, OpenAI, following a mass shooting at Florida State University that took place in April 2025.

The SEC has approved a rule change that eliminates one of Wall Street's most recognizable barriers for small traders: the old $25,000 minimum tied to pattern day-trading restrictions. Regulators signed off on FINRA's proposal to scrap a framework that long made it harder for smaller investors to make rapid-fire stock trades, replacing it with a […]

In November 2024, the SEC celebrated 583 enforcement actions and a record $8.2 billion in remedies, saying crypto was proof it could keep pace with emerging threats. This week, the same agency published a 2025 review calling that approach a mistake. The new report said prior resources were misapplied, criticized the pursuit of “media headlines,” and […]

Laos’ Prime Minister Sonexay Siphandone has called for stricter safety measures across Laos’ tourism sector, with a focus on high-risk and emerging activities, as concerns grow over recent incidents involving foreign visitors.

Washington is in a generous mood with its banks. In March, federal regulators unveiled a sweeping overhaul of capital requirements (the financial cushions that banks must hold to absorb losses in hard times), and the headlines wrote themselves: deregulation, relief, billions freed up for lending and buybacks.

It felt churlish to let Apple’s 50th birthday pass without adding to the hagiographic choir, so what follows is an unapologetically selective tour through some of the moments that shaped one of the most influential companies of the modern era. These were the inflection points where Apple didn’t just ship products, it distorted reality in its direction.

Prediction markets spent years trying to present themselves as smarter, better, and more useful than straight-out gambling.

In December, the Trump administration signed an executive order that neutered states’ ability to regulate AI by ordering his administration to both sue and withhold funds from states that try to do so. This action pointedly supported industry lobbyists keen to avoid any constraints and consequences on their deployment of AI, while undermining the efforts of consumers, advocates, and industry…
The SEC and CFTC just gave crypto its clearest and most straightforward regulatory guidance in years. Most crypto assets will no longer be treated as presumptive securities, and the agencies drew a sharper line between open crypto markets and tokenized versions of traditional financial products. Under normal conditions, that kind of clarity should have been […]
