What stands out this morning is how many threads converge on control — of AI pace, supply chains, of markets, of data. I noticed Anthropic’s Amodei pushing for a slower improvement pace with third-party evaluators (Altman / Musk agreeing), pairing with Anthropic’s own AI-misuse-for-biolabs report. Japan’s physical-layer tech: TOPPAN’s dual UHF+NFC RFID tag (sewing-thread conductive fiber, 5m range) quietly reshapes logistics. JPX option-trading challenge and price-range expansion: feed summaries empty, noted only as stated. DeepSeek planning Shanghai STAR (科創板) IPO at ~12 trillion yen valuation, 150 hires — major AI-capital story. Sakura Internet’s 3-year breach reaching 1.36M accounts with plaintext initial passwords: security posture lags adoption. Overall, technology runs ahead of governance — this morning’s theme.
