🇺🇸 Former CFTC commissioner @BrianQuintenz : "Kalshi is a fully regulated, fully licensed derivatives exchange that is regulated by the CFTC… the idea that these aren't well regulated… or they're not regulated at all is WRONG."

The core generates heat. The primary heat exchanger makes it useful. At Antares Prime, non-nuclear subsystem testing never stops.

DOE has authorized the first regulatory gate for our NEXT reactor, coming in 2027. This is going to be the first commercially representative electricity-producing microreactor in the U.S. This is what we will be deploying to Fort Bragg under Janus in 2028.

There’s a world of difference between user-authorized agents (Muse, Instinct, Grokbot, etc.) and true unauthorized/rogue agents that could constitute cyberattacks. Most of the activity described in the Axios story appears to be the former: customers sharing credentials with agents so they can take actions on their behalf. This may violate bank terms requiring humans to log in themselves, but these are in no way cyberattacks. The direction banks should go is to support user-directed agents. For example, Amex is an authorized connection in Muse, making it easy for users to grant, limit, and revoke access. Read-only permission levels are a sensible interim step. Several banks already support or are moving toward them. Full write access (with user credentials) is a different risk category and should be approached carefully. Frightening the public by blurring the line between user-authorized agentic behavior and cyberattacks is irresponsible.
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

Jensen closed his GTC Berlin 2026 keynote with this Hermes Agent demo as the finale. He introduced it by saying the way to build an agent is to ask an agent to build it for you, so he installed and set up a customized Hermes in one prompt. Then he used Hermes, running on @nvidia RTX Spark, to create a simulated training environment for the @huggingface Microduck. Hermes planned an obstacle course with Nemotron and had GPT-6 Astra build it using FreeCAD, Omniverse libraries, Blender, Newton, and Isaac Lab. Hermes trained thousands of simulated ducks on that course until the validated policy was ready to run on the real robot in the physical world. At Nous, we believe open source is a practical tool as much as a philosophical ideal. It gives users the ability to build powerful, complex workflows chaining numerous local+cloud models, devices, and tools themselves instead of waiting for a company to enable them.

Was thinking this AM about what a combined entity could mean One current vision for Tesla is for customers to opt-in to using their cars as RoboCabs when not in use. Disrupt Uber and then some Taking that a step further though, imagine: - you set your GrokBot an IRL task, e.g. “clean my gutters” - the GrokBot then “rents” use of an Optimus humanoid, whether from a home (where it’s been made avail, like a Tesla car), or from maybe a local Optimus hub - the GrokBot then directs (or rides on board!) the Optimus to come to your house and clean said gutters - Optimus returns to its home upon completion, and GrokBot compensates the Optimus owner (whether consumer or corporate) with an agentic payment Would basically turn an agentic harness into a new age TaskRabbit
Elon Musk today on a potential merger between SpaceX and Tesla: "Both Tesla and SpaceX have formed special committees at the request of shareholders. Because I'm a conflicted party I can't be in on these discussions. I don't think we should assume that a merger is a certainty. Do I think it would be a good idea? Yes. But at the end of the day, shareholders have to be supportive of this. The special committees have not reached an agreement on any transaction, and it doesn't mean they will, but there is a lot of be gained from cooperating on SI, chip design, robots, mass or orbit, connectivity. I think it would be a good idea."

. @POTUS is right to call on data center providers to partner with local communities to ensure they are protected on energy costs, water costs, noise restrictions, etc. There's also a great opportunity to work with local communities on job training for the data center jobs that will be needed well after the plumbers, electricians, etc. have finished construction. cnbc.com/2026/10/21/trump-da…
