Larry Ellison, the world’s 2nd-richest man, predicts an AI surveillance state where “we’re constantly recording & reporting everything.” Are we headed toward a future where every call, text, email & search is tracked by billionaires? That's not democracy. It's authoritarianism.

THE VERGE: Republicans are looking for a way to bring back the AI moratorium. A year-end defense bill might include another shot at overriding state AI laws.

House Majority leader Steve Salise (R-LA) told Punchbowl News he's considering adding language to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) effectively banning state AI regulations. Later on Tuesday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social urging Congress to standardize AI regulations.
