Odaily: Over the past year, the AI field has experienced explosive growth, and this pace seems to have left frontier AI developers struggling to keep up in a short period of time. Now, these companies are beginning to call for a slower pace of research and stronger regulation and oversight.
However, the AI safety crises that have previously been brought to light are unlikely to similarly impact the customers of AI giants like Anthropic and OpenAI. Enterprises typically deploy models that have already been commercialized and whose capabilities are relatively well understood by the market. These models may not be at the absolute cutting edge of AI, but their capabilities are already powerful enough to handle the various tasks enterprises assign to them.
Stephen Messer, co-founder of Collective, said that most enterprises are not using the most cutting-edge models. They may even still be using versions from two years ago, and for the work they are doing, these models are actually more than sufficient. Some users don't even really know how to effectively prompt the models. Therefore, if the pace of AI development slows down, it won't have much of an impact on them. (WSJ)

According to Bitcoin News monitoring, The Washington Sun reported that Trump and other World Liberty Financial founders appear to have transferred over 20 billion WLFI tokens into a new vesting contract, replacing the previous indefinite lock-up arrangement and setting a path for future liquidity. On May 19, four wallets simultaneously transferred their holdings into this contract. One allocation matched Trump's disclosed holdings, while the other three allocations are believed to correspond to his family members' holdings. Under governance rules passed in May, founders could choose to continue the indefinite lock-up or adopt a new schedule: burn 10% of their allocation, undergo a two-year lock-up period, and then gradually unlock the remaining tokens over three years. These tokens cannot currently be sold. World Liberty Financial denies that these transfers are preparations for a sale.
