What everyone’s missing is the looming regulatory hammer threatening AI momentum. That AP Technology SummaryBrief at 4:15 p.m. EDT report from Hastingstribune.com about a secret pact between Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI and Google barely gets ink—yet anti-trust enforcers could torch valuations if they decide to get serious.
