Google’s AI divisions are getting reshuffled, the search giant announced on Wednesday, with chief scientist Jeff Dean leaving the company after 27 years.

Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind, is moving into a chairman role of that unit and also assuming the title chief scientist of parent company Alphabet, according to a memo from CEO Sundar Pichai that was posted to Google’s blog.

@WSJ US startups building open models on shoestring budgets to counter China but China tends to let them move first and regulates later. Makes you wonder if we’re slowing ourselves down...

It's so funny that Chinese open source companies, when faced with a lack of Nvidia chips (due to restrictions) just use datacenters in South East Easia instead https://t.co/lj3x7snz32

@elonmusk You don't have to agree with every conclusion to acknowledge the broader point. Population structure has a huge impact on everything from economic growth to pension systems and labor markets.

@muellerberndt Love the emphasis on open proofs and explicit gaps. Whether the theory holds or not, that's a much healthier way to do ambitious research than asking people to take bold claims on faith.

@PeteNakos @On3 SEC still won't vote but somehow all the billionaires think the PCSA is awesome. and I'm supposed to think it's good for college football? Lol.

[Ismael Garza @izzy_geezy]

@heitner If we're still saying there's very little here that's actually good for athletes after all these revisions... maybe the bill isn't nearly as "protective" as the name suggests. i think the biggest thing it's protecting might be the name on the cover lmao

The nation’s largest multi-state outbreak of cyclosporiasis linked to shredded iceberg lettuce has expanded to nine states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday.

The four newly linked states – Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania – join Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia and hard-hit Michigan. Cyclospora is a microscopic parasite that typically infects people through contaminated food or water and causes cyclosporiasis, a gastrointestinal illness that can result in symptoms including severe diarrhea. Patients can require hospitalization, but no deaths have been recorded related to the parasite this year.

I've recently changed my views and now think open-source AI is the safest path in the long run.

Also, if the United States wants to remain competitive, it must have top frontier AI developers focused on open-source AI.

This excerpt from the letter signed by Microsoft's @satyanadella, NVIDIA's @JensenHuang, and many others highlights some of the safety arguments in favor of openness in AI.

Full letter below.

Don’t let the “death box” shake you. $SRPT stuck in a range after 2025 safety drama is normal. Now institutional loading, FDA milestones cleared, and a more diversified pipeline. Sarepta still leads in DMD. Those who see the bigger picture aren’t scared of the box.

[Kimchi_Trades @kimchi_trades]

$SRPT now a year in the death box

@CNBC It'll be interesting to see how the courts interpret this. The line between legitimate integration and anti competitive self preferencing isn't always obvious.

If the conversation about efficiency and government waste is still going, then DOGE probably accomplished more than its critics expected.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

DOGE’s website, built to house “receipts” documenting its attempt to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget, lies dormant.

But weeks after its 18-month end date has elapsed, DOGE has proved remarkably hard to kill. https://t.co/3JsC6GIScP

@VaibhavSisinty If it can consistently separate facts from disputed claims without introducing its own bias, this could genuinely change how people watch live debates.

China has worked for years to build its own semiconductors, but Macquarie thinks now is the time to buy.

"We believe the best time to invest in China's AI chip players has arrived, given the development of AI, domestic large language model (LLM) players and the token economy in China," Macquarie's China Information Technology analysts said in a late June report.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on China:

We should treat them as a potential adversary, not as an adversary.

I'm ashamed and embarrassed and sad and depressed we are so reliant on them for certain of these other things.

China — they are surrounded by Japan, Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and Russia.

That's a tough part of the world. And they've pissed them all off — and not because of us, all on their own.

[UnveiledChina @Unveiled_ChinaX]

Xi Jinping is betting China's future on a wild paradox: a hyper-innovative tech engine built on top of a collapsing domestic economy.

A definitive report by The Economist titled "China is innovative. Its economy is a mess. Which matters more?" exposes how Beijing has become completely obsessed with winning a high-tech "space race" against the United States. Driven by this fixation, billions of dollars are flooding into frontier industries like electric vehicles, advanced batteries, and artificial intelligence, with leadership treating technological self-reliance as the ultimate shield against Western containment.

But as The Economist details from reporting deep inside the provinces, outside of these glossy tech corridors, the real economy is in a structural tailspin. Local government debt is spiraling out of control, the crucial property market has imploded, and domestic consumer confidence remains stubbornly flat. These spectacular tech advances are bleeding into some rural areas, but they simply aren't generating enough broad-based productivity or income gains to rescue an entire nation choked by old-economy decay.

This unprecedented contradiction sets up a high-stakes race that will ultimately define the 21st-century global balance of power. Can a narrow corridor of brilliant engineering scale up fast enough to save the country before its massive debt and property traps drag everything down? As Beijing forces its empire to run on this volatile dual track of supreme innovation and structural mess, the rest of the world is left waiting to see which side wins out.

@Unveiled_ChinaX Hope both sides prioritize deterrence over escalation. Peace through strength remains key in the Indo-Pacific.

Supporting open markets and fair competition would help Europe grow much more

[Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg @UnderSecE]

Deeply concerned by reports of new fines being prepared against American companies. Targeting U.S. firms with punitive measures would be a serious mistake corrosive to private investment and economic growth in Europe. We will be watching closely.
