FROM OUR PARTNER
Osteoarthritis Is Unaffected by Tariffs.
Trade wars, supply shocks, tariffs-it's all noise. But osteoarthritis continues to affect over 500 million people worldwide. And current treatments do little to slow its progression.
Cytonics is rewriting that story with CYT-108, a biologic drug that could inhibit the three major protease families responsible for cartilage degradation.
This is a $393 billion global market hiding in plain sight. And with Phase 1 now complete, we're gearing up for a Phase 2 trial that could redefine the OA treatment landscape.
Tariffs may reshape economies. CYT-108 could reshape lives.

| 📱 Google quietly released app to run AI models locally LINK
|
- Google introduced Google AI Edge Gallery, an Android app letting users run open AI models from Hugging Face directly on phones, independent of internet access.
- This experimental software allows generating images, answering questions, or writing code via on-device processing, and includes a Prompt Lab for single-turn tasks.
- Available from GitHub as an Alpha release, the gallery offers downloadable models like Google's Gemma 3n for offline use, with performance varying by hardware.
| 🚗 Elon Musk is lobbying lawmakers on driverless vehicle rules LINK
|
- Tesla CEO Elon Musk is actively lobbying U.S. lawmakers by directly contacting Congress members to establish a clear regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles.
- He is involved in discussions about revising a May 15 bill, which creates a basic framework for autonomous vehicles, aiming for action before July 4.
- This push for federal rules is important as Tesla prepares its Robotaxi service launch and seeks approval for Cybercabs without steering wheels or pedals.
| 💥 Google DOJ clash over how AI will remake the web in antitrust closing arguments LINK
|
- In closing arguments, Google and DOJ lawyers dueled over its search deals and how the rise of AI could change the Internet as we know it.
- The DOJ is asking the judge to limit Google's business dealings and force a divestment of the Chrome browser to address its search monopoly.
- Testimony revealed fears that Mozilla could be destroyed if its Google default search provider placement deal ends, a key point in closing arguments.
| 🏴☠️ Amazon Fire Sticks enable "billions" in streaming piracy LINK
|
- An Enders Analysis report claims Amazon Fire Sticks enable streaming piracy worth "billions of dollars," specifically identifying this hardware as a significant "piracy enabler."
- This research details how Amazon Fire Sticks help fuel extensive illegal viewing of live programs like sporting events, attracting tens of thousands of pirate viewers.
- While the study highlights Amazon Fire Sticks, it also notes technologies from Google, Microsoft, and Facebook contribute to an "industrial scale of theft" in streaming.
| 🚨 White House probes Trump Chief of Staff phone hack LINK
|
- The FBI is probing how Trump's Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, was impersonated in fraudulent messages and calls targeting prominent political and business contacts.
- Wiles reportedly claimed her personal phone was hacked to get these contacts, with attackers using spear phishing and possibly AI tools to deepfake her voice.
- Officials assess the campaign, seeking money or political favors, as cybercriminal fraud, not foreign nation espionage, despite the high-level White House target.
| 🤖 OpenAI says human interaction rivals ChatGPT super assistant LINK
|
- OpenAI plans for ChatGPT to become a super assistant, a personalized gateway handling diverse tasks and acting on behalf of users across many digital channels.
- In its competitive "broader game," the company views not just other AIs but also "interactions with real people" as rivals for this future assistant.
- This competitive view means the AI is designed to compete with "interactions with real people" for daily tasks, challenging existing search engines and browsers.
