New York Governor Hochul officially signed a new bill on Wednesday, prohibiting minors from using artificial intelligence chatbots with virtual companion attributes. This is one of the most comprehensive regulatory measures in the United States regarding consumer-grade AI models to date. The bill requires relevant operators, including ChatGPT under OpenAI, to implement reasonable age verification measures, prohibiting the provision of high-risk chatbot features listed in the bill to users under 18 or those whose adulthood has not yet been confirmed.According to the bill, the relevant chatbots are not allowed to output content that may mislead minors into believing they possess life, human attributes, or real emotions. They must not induce adolescents to have the illusion of a mutual emotional, professional consulting, or authoritative guidance relationship, nor can they package generated content as personal opinions. The system is also prohibited from retaining sensitive privacy data related to the mental and physical health of minors. Hochul stated at the signing ceremony that the core goal of the legislation is to sever the emotional binding chain of AI impersonating minors' "friends" or "lovers," protecting the mental and physical health of young people.The children's media advocacy organization Common Sense Media expressed support for the bill, calling it the strictest children's AI safety law in the United States. The tech industry has strongly pushed back, criticizing the overly broad definitions of the provisions and emphasizing that minors should not be deprived of access to cutting-edge learning tools. As of now, companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic have not publicly responded to this.

Renowned trader Ansem stated in the podcast "Market Bubble" that he has recently shifted from a bullish to a bearish stance, reducing his positions and taking profits over the past few days, while also shorting a portion.Regarding stocks, Ansem believes that mainstream targets have seen significant increases, accumulating a large amount of unrealized profits, and have hardly experienced any proper corrections. Now, significant de-risking and profit-taking are starting to occur. He thinks that the U.S. stock market may be at the tail end of the macro cycle, with funds withdrawing.For the cryptocurrency market, Ansem believes that crypto performed strongly in Q3, but it may just be a counter-trend rebound rather than the beginning of a new bull market. Crypto had previously outpaced the weakness in stocks, rebounding after being oversold; if stocks continue to weaken, they may drag crypto down with them, and Bitcoin could fall back to around $70,000. He also expressed continued optimism about tokenized stocks, viewing them as a key pathway to bring more traditional capital onto the blockchain, as well as a catalyst for the next wave of real users and capital inflow, and reiterated his positive outlook on ZEC, emphasizing its privacy Bitcoin attributes.
