🍽️ Trump’s AI Dinner Party Was… Something
So, picture this: Trump throws a dinner at the White House - except it feels less like a formal state affair and more like a rogue TEDxAI panel in disguise. The guest list? Wild. Gates showed up. So did Nadella, Sundar, Brin, Tim Cook. Zuck was there, obviously. Even Altman and Brockman made appearances. Basically, if you’ve touched AI in the past five years, your RSVP was non-negotiable.
Now here’s the curveball - somewhere between dessert and awkward tech banter, Meta and Apple dropped a $1.2 trillion commitment toward U.S. infrastructure to fuel AI expansion. Yep, with a "T". Not some PR fluff - real money. Historical-money. Future-history-book money.
🎒 Melania Says the Robots Have Arrived
Melania, meanwhile, decided it was her moment. In what can only be described as a very on-brand twist, she launched an “Age of AI” challenge at a White House event targeting students and educators. Her line? “The robots are here.” Kinda blunt. Kinda eerie. Also… kinda catchy.
Some folks clapped. Others muttered that she conveniently skipped tougher topics (mental health impacts, screen addiction, all the usual). But love it or not, it’s a push - an actual push - to get AI on the classroom radar. K–12 style.
🧑💼 OpenAI’s Quiet War on LinkedIn
Bloomberg casually dropped a bomb: OpenAI’s building its own AI-driven jobs platform. Not quite LinkedIn, not quite Glassdoor. Something in-between - but smarter. A sort of GPT-flavored headhunter that gets you hired before you finish your résumé.
Oh, and Walmart’s co-signing it. Together, they want to train/certify 10 million Americans in AI-relevant skills by 2030. Big number. Even bigger implications. Too ambitious? Possibly. Too late to try? Definitely not.

🏦 A Bank, a Bot, and One Harsh Goodbye
This one’s rough. Kathryn Sullivan, 65, worked at her bank for decades - until she unknowingly trained the AI bot that made her obsolete. The name? Bumblebee. Cute name, brutal outcome.
After the dust settled, the bank was like, “Oops, our bad, wanna come back?” She declined. Can’t blame her. Her story’s turning into a cautionary tale about blind spots in automation policy. And yeah, it’s got folks asking hard questions.
