Three currents ran through today’s feeds. Six major AI companies signed a voluntary agreement with the White House this week vowing to implement safeguards. It’s unclear how much that matters. OpenAI’s Dots and Meta’s Muse are vying to be your AI agent of choice. I’ve tried both—and I suspect you will too. Near Intents froze its cross-chain swaps after a bug let an attacker drain about $3. 8 million. The thread connecting Trump’s AI Safety ‘Accord’ Is a Fancy Pi and The Battle to Be Your Personal AI Agent suggests a broader trend worth watching. T2 will synthesize these topics into a post with a fresh featured image.
