The full article is paywalled, and only limited detail is available from the supplied text.

Recent auctions of 10-year and 30-year US Treasury bonds drew solid investor demand, with buyers seeking higher compensation to fund the US government. The sales came after a subdued core inflation reading, which reduced pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates at its next meeting. However, investors are questioning whether elevated bond yields can be maintained given factors including rising government spending, a growing budget deficit, and an ongoing AI-driven investment boom. Bloomberg's The Opening Trade program featured guests discussing the outlook for the US bond market.
Keywords: US Treasury auctions, bond yields, core inflation, Federal Reserve policy, budget deficit, government spending, AI-driven investment, financial market conditions, investor demand, yield sustainability

Polymarket's Substack publishes an interview with Robin Hanson, an economist at George Mason University described as the intellectual originator of modern prediction markets. The interviewer, Werner K. Zagrebbi, identifies himself as a Superforecaster who has known Hanson since high school. Hanson argues that companies have largely failed to adopt internal prediction markets because managers function more as political actors protecting internal alliances than as scientific decision-makers, and therefore resist neutral information sources that could undermine narrative control. He characterizes McKinsey as an institution that provides the appearance of independent analysis while largely validating pre-made decisions. Hanson recounts the cancellation of the Policy Analysis Market, a DARPA-funded geopolitical prediction market shut down within 24 hours after senators held a press conference calling it a 'federal terrorism casino.' He attributes the episode primarily to political maneuvering against a superior, John Poindexter, rather than substantive objections to the project. A successor effort, SciCast, later ran under IARPA with less publicity. He also describes how the CIA maintained internal prediction markets for roughly a decade but required that they receive no formal credit in official white papers, which he believes contributed to their eventual end. Hanson reflects on why institutional innovation is harder than technological innovation, discusses his history in Silicon Valley alongside figures such as Hal Finney and Eric Drexler, and addresses his long-running disagreement with Eliezer Yudkowsky over AI risk and the likelihood of a rapid intelligence explosion. He argues that debate has proven unusually resistant to resolution even when broken into specific sub-claims. The interview concludes with Hanson advocating that status should be awarded for demonstrated accomplishment rather than impressiveness, citing successful Polymarket traders as an example.
Keywords: prediction markets, Robin Hanson, forecasting, market design, betting markets

Taiwan conducted an internet blackout drill this week across 14 cities and counties in northern and central Taiwan, covering roughly 70% of the island's 23 million people. For the first time, the annual air raid exercise included a simulated coordinated cyberattack that drastically reduced internet speeds, making video calls, streaming, mobile payments, and social media largely inaccessible. Authorities said the exercise was intended to encourage residents to develop alternative communications methods and to test backup systems. The drill coincided with broader concerns about the vulnerability of Taiwan's submarine cable network, which the government has described as an 'irreplaceable digital lifeline.' Several cables have been damaged in recent years by Chinese or China-linked vessels, which Taiwan's coast guard has characterized as a 'grey zone' strategy. In 2025, a Chinese captain was convicted of deliberately damaging a cable connecting Taiwan's main island with the Penghu archipelago. Taiwan is pursuing multiple backup communications layers, including low-Earth-orbit satellite services. Taiwan's legislature recently approved amendments that could allow Elon Musk's Starlink to operate in the local market, though reliance on Musk's network has raised concerns given his business interests in China. Some residents have also turned to open-source platforms using long-range, low-power radio signals to send text messages without internet access. Officials and researchers cited in the article described the drill's inconvenience as deliberate, intended to build public awareness and resilience in the face of ongoing military threats from Beijing.
Keywords: Taiwan, Internet blackout, Undersea cables, Infrastructure, Civil defense, Geopolitical risk, China threat

The Trump administration has issued a National Security Presidential Memorandum authorizing private security firms to conduct offensive cyber operations against foreign criminal organizations that target US entities. The directive instructs the National Coordination Center, operating under the Homeland Security Task Force, to develop a program enabling private-sector companies to carry out 'Cyber Surveillance Operations and Cyber Effects Operations' against overseas transnational criminal organizations (TCOs). Eligible targets are defined as foreign groups conducting cyber-enabled crimes against the US government, US persons, or US interests that are not state-operated. Covered criminal activities include ransomware, sextortion, phishing, financial fraud, and impersonation scams. The program, to be overseen by the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, marks the first time the federal government has authorized private companies to conduct offensive cyber operations without court approval. The memo does not explicitly prohibit certain attack types, such as encryption-based lockouts of target networks or distributed denial-of-service attacks. Key operational details of the program have not yet been defined.
Keywords: Cybersecurity, Private security firms, Cyberattacks, Government policy, Trump administration
The Wall Street Journal reports on Cami Clark, the wife of Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, describing her as a key adviser to the AI company's chief despite maintaining a low public profile. The article notes that Clark previously started what she described as a 'revolutionary porn company.' The piece also references Anthropic's anticipated IPO, which it suggests could raise trillions. The article's headline notes that even Anthropic's own AI model, Claude, lacks information about Clark and her influence at the company.
Keywords: Anthropic, Dario Amodei, IPO, private company, corporate governance, AI company
