Microsoft is backing Anthropic in its skirmish with the Trump Administration’s Pentagon, arguing a temporary restraining order would avoid disrupting the military’s use of AI. North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis maintains his blockade on voting for Fed chair nominee Kevin Warsh as long as there is a still a DOJ criminal investigation against current Chair Jerome Powell, and key traffic remains stalled in the Strait of Hormuz. Then, entrepreneur, author and sometime politician Andrew Yang warns today’s young people could struggle in a job market changed by the speedy rise of AI technology. And CNBC’s Robert Frank looks into what the wealthy are buying at auction – to stave off worries from volatile markets.
