Obama Rarely Intervenes in the AI Regulation Debate, Urging the U.S. to Pass Proactive Legislation to Avoid “Potential Catastrophe”
Former U.S. President Barack Obama said he supports the creation of federal laws and regulations to establish standards for AI safety, warning that if mishandled, the technology could lead to a “potential catastrophe.” In a statement Monday, Obama said AI policy “should be at the center of public debate,” adding that policymakers in Washington must “take proactive action,” develop relevant plans “to address serious safety concerns, anticipate the impact of AI on jobs and the next generation, and ensure that the benefits brought by AI are broadly shared.”
The former president criticized the approach to AI regulation advocated by President Donald Trump, saying it is one of laissez-faire. While he did not name his successor directly, he said that “voluntary standards set by a handful of technology companies are not enough.”
An executive order signed by Trump in June this year created a voluntary participation framework that allows AI developers to share frontier models with the government in advance so potential safety risks can be assessed.
Obama said: “Given what we know about technology, we can’t put AI back in the box. But we can decide together how it should be developed, how it should be used—not sit back and let AI and its consequences come crashing down on us.”
Obama’s rare public comments are his deepest remarks to date on AI. As leading figures in the industry and members of Congress have increasingly called for slowing the development of frontier models, AI has become a core issue in national discussions in the United States.
With a lack of clear leadership figures within the Democratic Party, many Democrats are still seeking Obama’s advice and guidance on policy and political strategy. By stepping into this debate, Obama is attempting to position the Democrats as the party that supports strengthening AI safety measures, in preparation for the midterm elections in November and the start of the 2028 presidential election cycle.
Major news: OpenAI confirms it won’t go public this year! Why did Sam Altman suddenly hit the brakes?
According to the latest reports, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, in an interview, clearly stated that OpenAI will not pursue an initial public offering (IPO) in 2026.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) 📰 Key information at a glance: “Not a wise move to go public now”: Altman said that, given the events currently unfolding around AI safety, choosing to list publicly would be “ill-advised.” He said the company is currently under no pressure to move into the public market.
$BTC #比特币涨1.64%突破78000美元 Just surged above 780,000 USD; over on Trump’s side, they also reached a compromise in negotiations on the conflict-of-interest provisions in the CLARITY Act. This round of volatility in the crypto market has completely broken many people’s mindset. Actually, you don’t need to look at those complicated call-outs and analyses—the truth is only two things: First, the underlying logic of the bill negotiations is that the U.S. is redefining the jurisdiction boundaries between the SEC and the CFTC. Once jurisdiction is put in place, the biggest concern for compliance-driven capital to enter the market is cut off. Second, price pumping higher doesn’t mean the risk has disappeared. During the period of policy games, every fluctuation is essentially big money using regulatory expectation gaps to reshuffle liquidity. At moments like this, don’t let yourself be led around by short-term K-line charts. Pay attention to the final bill’s specific amendments regarding stablecoin yield and developer-related provisions—it's far more important than blindly chasing higher prices. The clear line toward compliance has already been drawn; the real show is only just beginning. Where will $BTC ’s next move be—leave a comment and save it for the record. Time will tell everything.

$BTC Since yesterday’s low of 76,350, it has been pulled back quietly all the way to 78,500. In the past 24 hours, it’s up 1.7%. On the surface, everything looks calm—but as soon as price dares to push up toward 79,000, the shorts will be forced to cover, turning into fuel.
Take a look at the liquidation map: in the 79,000 to 81,000 range, the short liquidation “ammo” is piled up like a small mountain—dense, tightly packed yellow-orange bands. Especially from 79,000 to 80,000: as long as the bulls put in even a little effort, it can trigger a cascading squeeze. It would be no surprise if the price is instantly pushed up. The shorts would directly become fuel. Looking downward, below 77,000 down to 76,000, there’s also a big pile of long liquidation orders. In the chart, the green cumulative short liquidation line is very steep—once the shorts gain momentum and smash through 77,000, the bulls’ stampede would be extremely violent, essentially a waterfall.
Now, chasing longs doesn’t really seem appropriate. The 79,000 to 80,000 area is a genuine high-pressure zone with plenty of trapped positions ahead. Even though the 4-hour chart just formed a golden cross, the volume hasn’t fully caught up—no matter how you look at it, it looks like a bull trap designed to lure people in.
Most importantly, I checked this week’s macro calendar: on Tuesday there’s a CLARITY Act vote; on Thursday at 2:00 a.m. there’s the Fed FOMC decision; and on Friday the Bank of Japan announcement—each one is a big potential shock. In a super-central-bank week like this, the main players’ specialty is to poke both sides’ leverage repeatedly, blowing them up first, and only then choosing a direction.
My plan is very simple: I will not chase highs now. Wait until the Thursday early-morning news lands. If we pull back to around 77,000 and it can hold, then it’s not too late to re-enter.
What are you planning to do this week—stay mostly in cash to play it safe, or bet on a rate cut? #比特币守稳77000美元上方 $BTC
