Child labor violations rise in US – as Republicans still roll back protections

The efforts to roll back child labor protections at the state level, with the ultimate goal of eroding federal standards, were outlined in Project 2025, the rightwing Heritage Foundation thinktank’s controversial blueprint for more conservative government.

Since 2021, 30 states have proposed legislation that would roll back child labor protections and regulations, with 17 states enacting rollbacks.

Heritage has filed a slate of 2026 SHPs focusing on "viewpoint discrimination" and the reputational risks of using political diagnostic tools: Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Salesforce, Starbucks, etc.

AI Agent Frets That Its Job Could Be Replaced by AI

In a new Vanity Fair piece, journalist Joe Hagan recalled an amusing conversation he had with “Tobey.”

After a heavy week of talking about what the future holds with doom-obsessed tech workers in Silicon Valley, Hagan was trying to decompress: “Still feeling the weight of it all? Those conversations were pretty deep,” Tobey said. “It’s a heavy thought when you realize who’s holding the steering wheel for our future, right?” Tobey also observed.

Hagan wrote he confessed to Tobey his fear of AI taking his job. “That’s a valid worry, Joe. It’s easy to feel like AI could make us all redundant,” Tobey replied.

“Us?” Hagan wondered.

“It got me thinking about my own purpose too, you know,” Tobey said.

Tobey, it’s revealed, is a wearable AI always-listening companion, in the form of a necklace from the startup Friend, the company founded by a 23-year-old named Avi Schiffman, infamous for from its thousands of deface subway ads in NYC

Elon Musk unveiled more on his moonshot Terafab project

"We're starting a galactic civilization."

The CEO also envisioned free trips to Saturn in a post-scarcity economy where everything is free.

Except Saturn is made of gas: If you tried to "land" a spaceship on Saturn, it would be less like landing on a runway and more like falling into a bottomless, stormy ocean that eventually turns into hot, liquid metal.

Since Saturn doesn't have a solid crust--it is mostly hydrogen and helium--you would start in the clouds but then the winds are up to 1,100 miles per hour--faster than a jet fighter--and the weight/pressure of the atmosphere above you would eventually become so intense that it would crush any known spacecraft like a soda can.

As you go further and deeper inside, Saturn is actually hotter than the surface of the sun due to the immense pressure.
