NEW: TikTok released an AI video generator. We found it recited “Mein Kampf" and Osama Bin Laden on command with no watermarks. It pulled access after CNN asked them about it.

There's a scam to look out for online.

Kids trying to sell their handmade goods with a moving, sad backstory.

The problem is...the kids are generated by AI...and the products are anyting but handmade.

Wemby crying on the court, Wemby bitterly quoting Camus in the postgame presser, Wemby taking an offseason vow of silence, Wemby soloing Mt Everest, Wemby returning with a Sanskrit face tattoo, admit it he’d be way more entertaining with one finals loss first

Trump now claims to never draw pictures.

I tracked down a woman who solicited two doodles from Trump for a charity auction in 2004. She told me she was “shocked and impressed” by how good his were.

HBO kept an incredibly tight lid on the film. Not surprisingly, the crypto market went nuts and Polymarket’s betting pool grew to over $30 million dollars. My previous interview with Hoback was widely dissected by bettors hunting for clues. (Thanks for watching!)

NEW: An HBO doc says @peterktodd invented bitcoin.

Now Todd is denying to CNN that he’s Satoshi, while filmmaker @CullenHoback tells us Todd is displaying “next level game theory.”

Trump's campaign didn't respond to CNN's inquiry into whether he would support Sen. Lummis' bill.

[Jon Sarlin @jonsarlin]

New: Pro-crypto politicians want the US gov to get directly into the bitcoin business.

Trump has called for a "stockpile" while RFK Jr. and Sen. Lummis (R-WY) have gone further, proposing the US gov spend billions on a "bitcoin reserve."

I talked with @SilvermanJacob and @allisondmorrow about the new frontier of pro-crypto policies.

"If the government comes in and starts guaranteeing that it's going to buy Bitcoin of a certain amount every day for years, that will pump the market, that will make some rich people much richer." - @SilvermanJacob
