Plus, the "White House Accord on Super Intelligence: Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities" signed by Trump, Google's Pichai, Anthropic's Amodei, Meta's Zuckerberg, OpenAI's Brockman, XAI's Musk, Nvida's Huang.
In order to build a positive future for the American people and the world, we believe every company is responsible for developing its own technology safely and in a way that builds trust with customers and the public.

This starts with every company that is training and deploying frontier models having robust internal processes and controls to ensure that their technology behaves as intended and that any issues are promptly identified and resolved. Therefore, in addition to any other precautions, we believe each company should implement the following four layers of controls and audits:

(1) Implement robust internal controls to monitor the capabilities and alignment of its models during training and deployment around areas like cybersecurity, biosecurity, and chemical threats, and to ensure that its models do not hack or access technical systems in unintended ways.

(2) Empower an internal team to ensure all of the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended, and that any issues are remediated.

(3) Partner with an independent external auditor or evaluator to carry out independent assessments of whether the controls, monitoring, and detection are operating as intended.

(4) Designate an independent committee of the board of directors to oversee and receive reports from the teams operating the controls and the internal and external auditors and evaluators, as well as to ensure any issues identified are remediated.

Together, these steps will give each company, its customers, and the public confidence that the technology is operating as intended.

The participating companies will meet regularly to establish standards and best practices to improve the safety of their systems.

Over time, it may make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations. Regardless of whether this is required of companies, we believe that implementing these controls and audits is critical to ensuring a safe future for everyone, and each of our companies are ...Page 2 (signature page)

Migrants call the journey “The Game”. But the landscape is no longer just an obstacle to navigate. As researcher Tristan Solf of the Border Violence Monitoring Network puts it, “outsourcing the border to nature only blurs accountability for the dangers the EU produces.”

Nvidia also announced Monday that it will buy back an additional $150 billion worth of its shares, on top of an $85 billion share repurchase it already had underway. The company said this would be the largest single corporate share repurchase ever. Apple previously held the record with a $110 billion repurchase announced in 2024.

ICE is now lying in wait outside convenience stores, or at busy intersections. Agents are arresting people at international airports. Local police and sheriffs, deputized by the federal government, are detaining immigrants during traffic stops. ICE is now detaining more immigrants than ever before.
A chart that shows a timeline of ICE immigration enforcement against different significant events (Los Angeles raids, Minneapolis and Chicago raids), with a line in late March 2026 that says "New enforcement strategy begins" before a peak of over 1,500 daily arrests in July 2026.

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.

Nice piece here packed with information about the tech-fossil-CCS nexus that has become more clear in the past year www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/09/25/d...
Two Industries, Two Problems, One Big Carbon Capture Scam
AI data centers are incredibly energy-hungry; by 2028, they may command as much electricity as 55 million households. Already, 40% of data center energy comes from dirty gas.

The AI boom is already driving the construction of new gas-fired power plants and keeping old power plants on life support. This is creating a real credibility issue for the tech industry’s unenforceable climate and environmental pledges.

The fossil fuel industry has a different problem. They need new customers to justify massive new pipelines, new power plants, and fracking. CCS is the bridge between these two destructive industries. It’s providing Big Tech a new fig leaf and the fossil fuel industry a massive new customer base.
