    Big Tech AI and the Socials
      Intersection of "AI companions," kids, and online age-verification
        Adam—Senators Blumenthal, Hawley, and others just
        introduced a bill to require age-verification systems for “AI
        companions” and “AI chatbots.” This touches on several issues you’ve
        reported on—age-verification, AI bots as personal companions, sexual
        grooming, etc. I’ve attached an article and the proposed legislation
        for your reading pleasure. (Your friends at callthesuits.com / suitsaccidentinjurylawyers.com are on the case!)
        Summary: This
        bill is called the GUARD Act (“Guidelines for User Age-verification and
        Responsible Dialogue Act of 2025”). If enacted, it will force AI
        providers to implement age-verification measures that use government IDs
        or “any other commercially reasonable method” to distinguish minors
        from adults. The idea is to prevent minors from using certain AI
        functionality such as sex-related conversations or “AI companions”
        (chatbots designed to simulate “interpersonal or emotional interaction,
        friendship, companionship, or therapeutic communication”). Also under
        the bill, no chatbot may encourage suicide or physical injury by
        anyone—minors or adults. Also, the bots must disclose that they’re not
        human and not licensed professionals.
        Some particulars:
        For age-verification, simply entering a date of birth online will not suffice.
        Age-verification
        would need to be “periodically” reviewed. Providers may not assume
        that a verified user’s IP address or device is being used by that same
        verified user. (I don’t know how this will work—will you have to verify
        age every session? Will you have to take a live photo or video before
        each session?)
        Existing accounts would be frozen until initial age-verification is complete.
        Providers may use third parties to conduct this process. (Exit-strategy alert.)
        What
        could possibly go wrong? The bill promises to “limit collection of
        personal data” and “protect [its] integrity and confidentiality.”
        Edward Snowden was unavailable for comment.
        Also, chatbots will have to make various “disclosures”:
        They must disclose that they’re not human.
        They
        must disclose that they’re not licensed professionals, such as
        “therapist[s], physician[s], lawyer[s], financial advisor[s], or other
        professional[s].”
        They must repeat these disclosures at regular intervals.
        Crimes and civil penalties: The
        bill would amend Title 18 of the United States Code, which governs
        federal crimes. It would make it a crime to “design, develop, or make
        available” a chatbot if you know or recklessly disregard the possibility
        that it will (1) engage in sexual conversations with minors or (2)
        encourage suicide or violence by anyone (minor or not). The penalty is
        up to $100K (no imprisonment prescribed).
        It
        would also impose civil penalties on providers who either fail to
        complete age-verification or allow minors to access AI companions. That
        penalty is $100K per violation. Expensive.

      OpenAI says U.S. needs more power to stay ahead of China in AI
      Pluralistic: When AI prophecy fails (29 Oct 2025) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow
        Amazon made $35 billion in profit last year, so they're celebrating by laying off 14,000 workers (a number they say will rise to 30,000). This is the kind of thing that Wall Street _loves_, and this layoff comes after a string of pronouncements from Amazon CEO Andy Jassy about how AI is going to let them fire _tons_ of workers.
        That's the AI story, after all. It's not about making workers more productive or creative. The only way to recoup the $700 billion in capital expenditure to date (to say nothing of AI companies' rather fanciful coming capex commitments) is by displacing workers – a _lot_ of workers. Bain & Co say the sector needs to be grossing $2 trillion by 2030 in order to break even, which is more than the combined grosses of Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Apple Nvidia and Meta:

      Trump's Appellate Brief in NY Criminal Case
        Adam—It seems like the trial was eons ago, but the
        criminal conviction against Trump is still on appeal. Yesterday, he
        filed his brief. It’s long, but I’ve highlighted it for you so you can
        whip through it. It’s written by Sullivan & Cromwell, that
        old-school white-shoe law firm that’s among the best of the best. Trump
        is rightly sparing no expense here.
        In case you’re interested, here’s a rundown of Trump’s five arguments.
        Federal preemption: Trump argues that the DA of NYC (“DANY”) prosecuted him for state-law violations that are preempted (and thus nullified) by federal law. While the DANY has the authority to prosecute violations of state law by state office-seekers, he lacks such authority for federal candidates.
        Evidence of immune conduct:
        to SCOTUS, is inadmissible because it entails official presidential
        Trump argues that the court allowed evidence of conduct that, according
        acts that are immune from prosecution. This evidence should never have
        been admitted under SCOTUS precedent, and letting it in tainted the
        jury. Trump says that this requires automatic reversal.
        Faulty jury instructions:
        Trump argues that the jury charge was structured so that he could be
        convicted of conspiracy even if they could not unanimously agree on a
        specific “predicate act.” This is against NY law and a violation of due
        process.
        Insufficient evidence:
        Trump argues that there was no evidence that he had any intent to
        defraud anyone—rendering the evidence legally insufficient to support a
        verdict of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
        Justice Merchan should have recused himself:
        Trump argues that Justice Juan Merchan—who the NY State Commission on
        Judicial Conduct found violated judicial-ethics rules—was required to recuse himself, and that his failure to do so prejudiced Trump’s right to a fair trial.
        These
        arguments are very good—especially 1 through 3, because they’re pure
        questions of law. This is important because the trial judge and jury
        don’t enjoy any deference on such questions.
        Arguments 4 and 5 are different (although still pretty good):
        Argument 4 will entail a pissing match about whether the jury could have inferred intent from the evidence it did have. All doubts will be resolved in favor of the verdict because the jury gets great deference here.
        Argument
        5 (in my opinion, the juiciest one) will entail disputes over whether
        Justice Merchan abused his discretion on the recusal issue. He is
        tasked with deciding whether his own impartiality “might reasonably be
        questioned” in light of his daughter’s financial interest in a Trump
        conviction and his political contributions against the very defendant before him.
        On this question, he enjoys a healthy dose of deference. This
        deference will be buttressed by the judicial commission’s conclusion
        that he didn’t have to recuse himself even though he broke the rules.
        Still, anyone can see how rotten this is, and it’s my fervent hope that
        the appeals court will see how badly his actions reflect on the bench.
        I’ve known a lot of judges, and they’re extremely careful about this
        stuff. Justice Merchan was downright reckless, and his refusal to
        recuse appears self-serving in the extreme.
        Bottom
        line, arguments 1 through 3 have a much better chance of a clean kill
        since they will be reviewed “de novo”—from scratch, without deferring to
        anyone else.
        If any of these
        arguments hold up (and we’re only seeing one side here), I think Trump’s
        conviction will get flipped. This is most likely to happen under
        arguments 1, 2, and/or 3. If so, the indictment will be dismissed.
        Keep in mind, however, that even the best arguments face headwinds
        because appellate judges do not like to reverse jury verdicts and prefer
        not to call out their fellow judges unless they have to.
        Soon,
        the government will file its response brief. I’m not familiar with
        NY’s rules in criminal appeals, but the deadline is probably around 30
        days. This deadline will almost certainly be extended. Then Trump will
        file a reply brief, and the appeals court will set oral argument. My
        guess is that oral argument will happen in late Q1 of 2026, perhaps Q2.

      Dutch Elections
        The first exit polls show the globalist D66 Party as the winner of the Dutch election, beating Wilders’ PVV who suffered a big loss.
        That means more mass migration, more replacement, more climate regulations, more censorship, more EU, more gender madness and Rob Jetten, a woke, openly gay Champagne socialist, will most likely become the country’s Prime Minister.

      Gripen
        I'm a former insider on the project, so keep my name out from everything. And yes the Gripen (Griffin in English) is a very good plane. The version Ukraine signed the letter of intent on is the 39E version this plane is a very new plane, first delivery to the Swedish Air Force was just last week. You also have the 39CD version, that is operational around the world, it is not the same plane even that they look and are named the same. So the plane that was used in Thailand some time ago was not the E version but the CD version.
