1. Jerome Powell on stablecoins.
2. Hollis Robbins on o3 and higher education.
3. Google has started hiring for “post-AGI research.” If you want one, here is a straightforward definition of AGI. I believe o3 passes that test, including for the one hour of human labor mark.

Here is Pablo on o3 and the law. Here is the strawberries guy. Also Greg Brockman comments.
4. Biosignatures on a habitable planet? (NYT) And WaPo on the same.
5. Market-based mechanisms for AI agents.
6. Dean Ball, formerly of Mercatus and with excellent taste in music: “I am pleased to announce that as of this week, I have taken on the role of Senior Policy Advisor for AI and Emerging Technology at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.”
7. Delays for full Novavax authorization.
