Summary
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S., which monitors foreign investments in this country, usually keeps its work secret. But during today’s congressional TikTok hearing, it released a statement saying that it takes data security seriously. The unusual comment, and how the federal government has been dealing with TikTok, has us wondering: What are we missing? Plus, we become nostalgic for Blockbuster and its catchy jingle.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
-
- “Will ChatGPT Break Notice and Comment for Regulations?” from George Washington University
-
- “The internet rediscovered Blockbuster’s website. Press play on nostalgia.” from The Washington Post
-
- “Washington’s cherry blossoms are in peak bloom” from The Washington Post
Join us tomorrow for Economics on Tap. The YouTube livestream starts at 3:30 p.m. PT / 6:30 p.m. ET. We’ll have news, drinks, a game and more.
