Trump Unveils His New Super Intelligence Force

As promised, President Trump has announced the formation of a new Super Intelligence Force, which he said will be led by national intelligence director Jay Clayton and other members of his administration.

"The Super Intelligence Force is tasked with coordinating the effort of the Federal Government to ensure that America continues to lead the World in Super Intelligence, which many say is bigger than the Industrial Revolution, and the Internet, and will protect the interests, and improve the lives, of all Americans," Trump said in a Sunday morning post on his social network Truth Social.

Last week, Trump signed an executive order seeking to rebrand AI as "super intelligence," a term seemingly embraced, with some stumbles, by the tech executives who gathered at the White House this week to sign a non-binding safety pledge.

Clayton will chair the Super Intelligence Force, effectively making him the new AI/SI czar, with Federal Trade Commission Chair Andrew Ferguson, Undersecretary of War for Research and Engineering Emil Michael, and Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor serving as vice chairs.

The task force will reportedly have 120 days to create a report on the risks and opportunities presented by AI.

Florida Woman Used Claude as a Diary, Then Anthropic Reported an Entry to Police

A Florida woman is facing felony charges after she used Claude as a diary and allegedly wrote that she planned to "shoot up" the Sheriff's office. After a human reviewer examined the statements, they were reported to police.

According to the arrest report, Carli Michelle Heller, of Bonita Springs, Florida, wrote on September 26 that she would attack the Sheriff's office. She later said that she uses Anthropic's chatbot like a "diary."

Claude's safety systems flagged the entry and it was escalated to a human reviewer. After deciding it was a credible threat, the reviewer reported it to law enforcement.

The company says it may share user information in limited emergencies if it believes disclosure is necessary to prevent death or serious physical injury.

Deputies identified Heller and visited her home. She was detained without incident before an LCSO intelligence detective took over the investigation.

The latest incident is another reminder to think before you enter something into a chatbot that could get you into trouble. It's certainly not a private diary whose contents are for your eyes only.

The AI "Mega-Theme" Nobody's Talking About Yet

Every investor in the world is crowded into the chip trade. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) is up nearly 70% year-to-date, leaving the Nasdaq in the dust.

But here's what the crowd is missing. While everyone stares at the chips, a group of biotech stocks left for dead for the better part of a decade has quietly begun putting up gains of 150%, 200%, even 300% this year. I'm talking about biotech – genomics, specifically.

Keep an eye on two of ARKG's biggest holdings as we start the fourth quarter:

10x Genomics Inc. (TXG), up more than 50% since it beat top- and bottom-line estimates last month. Shares are up more than 300% year-to-date, and – more telling – they recently cleared $65 to complete a four-year base breakout.

Twist Bioscience Corp. (TWST) – raised full-year guidance in August, and shares are up more than 60% since it reported. Another 300%-plus winner on the year, now closing in on its 2021 all-time highs near $215.

Remember, price leads the news. You're going to be hearing a lot more about these biotech themes as the news cycle sprints to catch up to the action.
