Trump also said he spoke w Huang, who he says told him he had “absolutely no idea” Alice Huang was a spy.
ICYMI: Chairman @RepMoolenaar, Chairman @RepBrianMast, and Chairman @RepRickCrawford have sent a letter to NVIDIA CEO @JensenHuang asking him to appear before their three committees this month. The letter expresses concerns over NVIDIA’s security protocols against foreign adversary espionage and Mr. Huang’s reported ties to a Chinese intelligence-linked executive of a Singapore-based data center company.
Nvidia board of directors says it launched “an independent investigation in light of recent reporting that founder and CEO Jensen Huang has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort.”
Board says it has “no reason” to believe national security/company secrets compromised.
Anthropic has filed its S-1 to go public, saying it’ll list under the ticker ANT on the Nasdaq. No price range indicated yet.
This means you could see the biggest IPO ever before Thanksgiving, a few months after current record holder SpaceX went public in June.

As AI advances at a rapid pace, tech leaders are weighing how to manage its risks while staying ahead in the race against China.

SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

Such a useful and interesting conversation today on @CBSMornings on the Elizabeth Holmes documentary ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Elizabeth Holmes is “almost unrecognizable” in Nathan Fielder’s documentary, “You Can See Everything,” to Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz: “The woman that I saw on screen looked, frankly, like a broken woman.”
Shultz tells @gayleking and @norahodonnell about his reaction to the film, speaking out about Theranos in 2015 and why the documentary is garnering sympathy for Holmes, who is serving a more than 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors: “She is not playing victim. She is an actual victim.”

A few readers have taken me to task for “missing the point of the film,” which is apparently that Elizabeth Holmes is unknowable and everything is ambiguous. Here’s my response: She went after Tyler Shultz and Erika Cheung with everything she had. I was threatened with litigation on a daily basis for months on end. It was a ruthless cover-up of a breathtaking fraud, and she was at the controls. Just a little context for those who have forgotten or didn’t follow the original story. By the way, I loved the film. #BestPicture, IMO.
A ton of people have asked me for my thoughts about “You Can See Everything,” the new Elizabeth Holmes documentary. Here they are: nytimes.com/2026/10/17/busin… via @NYTimes
Our look at Prop 40 aka the billionaire tax this morning on @CBSSunday ⬇️
California voters will decide whether to adopt Proposition 40, which would impose a new tax on billionaires' wealth.
@jolingkent examines whether the measure would deliver the benefits its backers promise — and why some progressives oppose it.
Why so many films on tech billionaires and founders rn?
@ErikDavis @RottenTomatoes: “tech has become impossible to separate from everyday life…each of these films they all approach the subject differently but reflect a shared curiosity about power, personality, accountability”
Just 34 days before she reported to prison for her 11-year sentence, the disgraced CEO of Theranos Elizabeth Holmes and her partner, Billy Evans, invited Nathan Fielder into their home for what would become his documentary, “You Can See Everything.”
@jolingkent breaks down the buzz around one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year.

In “The Social Reckoning,” screenwriter and director Aaron Sorkin draws a connection between Facebook and January 6.
Sorkin told @jolingkent the “one person responsible” for the attack on the U.S. Capitol “wouldn’t have been able to pull that off without” Facebook.

“The Social Reckoning” draws a direct line between Facebook and the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Frances Haugen, the Facebook whistleblower who is portrayed in the film by Oscar winner Mikey Madison, told @jolingkent that Facebook was “asleep at the wheel” in the weeks before the attack: “When history looks back on this period of time, they’ll say, Mark [Zuckerberg] should have done more.”
Saw this two nights ago and still not over it. Bravo @nathanfielder, @lanceopp and team. Wow.
