🍭 Bills, Bots, and Bureaucracy 🏛️

Good morning. Last night, our frontend dev tried to rewrite history using ChatGPT.

Now the year is 2099, Trump is still president, and Yahoo is a productivity god.

We fixed it. Mostly.

Let’s dig in.

🍭 What’s Cookin’:

• Trump’s AI Plan (cont…)

• Microsoft Hack Balloons to 400+ Victims

• Yahoo Japan Forces Employees to Use AI (No, Seriously)

• 5 trending tools to boost your workflow

• Everything Else you need to know…

Policy Cont…
🏛️ Trump: Permits, Chips, and Culture Wars

The Bite: Trump just dropped his AI Action Plan:
A roadmap built on three pillars:

→ infrastructure
→ innovation
→ global dominance

Also includes a surprise cameo from the “woke AI” panic button.
uhh.. ok?


Snacks: 

• Infrastructure fast-tracks for mega-data centers

• Copyright fair-use plea from Big Tech wishlists

• Export push for U.S. chips & models abroad

• Neutrality test for contractors’ chatbots

• Pushback: 90+ orgs released the “People’s Plan”

Why it bites: America is racing to colonize the AI stack.

Infrastructure, chips, and culture before China does.

But defining “neutral AI” by executive order?

That’s a slippery slope to algorithmic gaslighting from one bias to another.

Neutral? Or just an AI that vibes with Trump?

Hacker News
🕵️ Microsoft Hack Hits 400+ Victims and Counting

The Bite: Chinese hackers exploited a SharePoint vulnerability Microsoft failed to patch properly.

Now the attack count’s jumped from 100 victims to a staggering 400.

Allegedly, it’s still likely an undercount.


Snacks: 

• NIH admits at least one breached server

• 400 compromised orgs (likely undercount)

• Artifact scans show unpatched instances everywhere

• Google fingerprints China; Beijing says “nope”

• Missing: a full Microsoft apology tour

Why it bites: Microsoft: the company selling Copilot to secure your enterprise… can’t secure its own.

Maybe it should’ve patched before pitching that $30B Oracle deal. 🙈

AI in The Workplace
👨‍💻 Yahoo Japan Forces All Employees to Use AI

The Bite: All 11k ‘Yahoo Japan’ employees must use generative AI for research, docs, and meetings.

Management is targeting a 2x boost in productivity by 2028.

Snacks: 

• SeekAI internal tool already automates expenses

• 30 % of work hours targeted first

• Goal: 2× output in three years

• Study: devs using AI were 19 % slower IRL

• Jobs safe—for now

Why it bites: Mandatory prompting is the corporate version of “everyone gets a treadmill.”

Looks great in theory until half your office is gasping for air and the other half is using Claude to write lunch orders in haiku.

Jokes aside, we’re interested in watching how this experiment plays out.

Every company has a few of these people; hesitant to use AI because the few times they tried to lean on it, it didn’t give the perfect output the first time.
