"I'm very happy that there is someone like Magnus that could beat me like this because, it's weird to say, but it could get a bit depressing if at this age I could win all the games... this motivates me a lot to improve more." #SpeedChessFinals

🚨NEW: Chairman Rep. John Moolenaar and a bipartisan coalition just introduced legislation to stop advanced U.S. AI chips from falling into CCP hands through shell companies and smuggling networks. The U.S. must lead in AI—and protect it. ➡️ selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/media/press-re…

This section of the Trump admin’s AI Action Plan is very good. Note the endorsement of chip location verification (which Rep. Bill Huizenga and Tom Cotton have legislated on).
