Congress gets serious about AI. IBM goes full enterprise. 1000 Screenshots and a Dream.
Good morning. Congress held another AI hearing yesterday. No riots, no robot takeovers. Would ya look at that?
Meanwhile, weāve got our intern in Minnesota, strapped to a chair screenshotting competitor landing pages. HR doesnāt open these⦠assuming we even have HR.
And weāve built something to help him.
(But more on that later.)

IBM
𦾠IBM Drops 400+ AI Tools
The Bite: IBM just went full enterprise anime arc. At its THINK event, it launched a tsunami of AI agents built to crawl through Slack threads, file invoices, and automate every boring task youāve ever rage-quit.
Think: Slackbots with MBAs. (Get it? āthinkā ā lol intern is on Friday vibes)
Snacks:
You can now build AI agents in under 5 minutes or pick from 150+ pre-trained specialists.
IBMās āHybrid Integrationā thing connects all your messy apps, APIs, and data messes without needing a consultant on retainer.
Allegedly they can āunlockā your unstructured data. Weāve heard that before thoughā¦. our technical intern still got it added to his research list.
Why it Bites:
IBM isnāt chasing AI clout.
Itās chasing every CTOās wallet.
While the open-source crowd argues about alignment, IBM is handing you 150 agents, a button that says āautomate,ā and a wink.
And hereās the thing: thatās what wins at scale.
If this works, most companies wonāt need to ābuild AI.ā Theyāll just plug into Big Blueās agent zoo and call it innovation.
Or theyāll just call Ederā¦

Congressional AI Hearing
šļø Space Race: AI Edition
The Bite: AI leaders like Microsoft, CoreWeave, OpenAI, and more just testified before Congress yesterday.
The hearing, led by Texas Senator, Ted Cruz, named it; āWinning the AI Race: Strengthening U.S. Capabilities in Computing and Innovation.ā
Our team has differing opinions on yesterdayās hearing, whatchu think? š
Snacks:
Execs called for massive investments in AI infra, warning of future electricity shortages due to AI demand.
They suggested a ālight-touch regulatory frameworkā would avoid a fragmented, state-by-state patchwork of AI laws.
Altman says "[AI will be] at least as big as the internet, maybe biggerā.
Strong bipartisan agreement that the U.S. must accelerate AI development, especially to counter Chinaās ambitions
The hearing overall was industry-friendly. Less government smackdown and more like a strategy sesh with extra lanyards.
Why it bites: The U.S. is going full āSpace Race: AI Edition,ā and positioning models and chips as the new moon landing. Valid.
And while the AI industry just got promoted to national-interest status (congrats, gentlemen), thereās a catch:
The faster we sprint, the blurrier the track gets.
Oh, and letās not forget: AI data centers could soon be eating 10% of U.S. electricity⦠because apparently, replacing feelings with inference takes a lot of power.
Didnāt think my utility bill could get higher.
The risk? A shiny new Cold War with better branding, looser brakes, and no global ref rules. The loudest voices are shouting growth, but someone should still whisper guardrails.
But letās be clear: weāre not AI doomers.
At The Daily Bite we build with this stuff every day.
Weāre pro-AI, pro-innovation, and yes, pro-regulation.
Just not the kind thatās scared of its own shadow.
Weāve seen what happens when policy leads with panic. (Europe, you ok?)
Pre-consequence regulation might feel responsible, but it risks strangling the very thing itās trying to steer.
