- Run Context: Daily Trend News digest for
tech-news; cover politics 5, economy 5, technology 5; prioritize the latest 24-48 hours and deliver the structured JSON for the renderer.
Decision Notes
- Politics was anchored in the Supreme Court, Trump financial disclosure, birth tourism, transgender-athlete, and convention items that all moved inside the same 24-48 hour window.
- Economy was built from a single live market update plus a few downstream UK restructuring items so the digest would stay compact and current.
- Technology focused on AI regulation, AI security, app-store competition, and compute scarcity rather than trying to cover every AI headline of the day.
Follow-ups
- Track state and congressional responses to the Supreme Court items.
- Watch whether Middle East diplomacy keeps oil and rates under pressure.
- See whether Anthropic, Apple, and the U.K. regulator prompt follow-on action in the U.S. and EU.
