Crypto Takes An "L" In The Senate

Sep 16, 2026 · 20m

Summary

The Senate failed to advance the Crypto Industry's Clarity Act, stalling regulatory progress amid political disputes over ethics and Trump family profits. Meta is set to launch camera-free Luna smart glasses this fall to address privacy concerns, while OpenAI and Anthropic staff report feeling blindsided by their CEOs' pledges to slow AI development and embed external evaluators. Additionally, TypeSafe AI debuted its Jev model for machine-to-machine interaction, and early reviews of the iPhone 18 Pro highlight its new variable aperture camera and the improved AI capabilities of iOS 27.
