techcrunch.com Connie Loizos 2025-09-20 11:34:22

President Trump just made it a lot more expensive for companies to hire foreign workers through the H-1B program. The White House announced Friday that Trump signed a proclamation requiring employers to pay a hefty $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa applications, an enormous jump from the current $215 lottery registration fee. H-1B visas allow U.S. companies to hire foreign workers in fields that typically require technical expertise like IT, engineering, mathematics, or medicine. The program is ca

Remember when Elon Musk hired a bunch of youngsters to gut the federal government? Well, now he's put one in charge of a key division at his company xAI.

His promotion comes right off the back of a brutal round of layoffs at the team which saw more th

RFK Jr.’s Vaccine Panel Votes Down Its Own Proposal to Require Prescriptions for Covid-19 Shots

wired.com Emily Mullin 2025-09-20 22:39:56

On the second day of a pivotal vaccine meeting that was at times heated, confusing, and chaotic, a group of federal advisers chosen by Health and Human Services secretary and longtime anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. voted against requiring a prescription to receive a Covid-19 vaccination. The vote took place after hours of discussion, in which several advisers sowed doubts about the Covid-19 vaccines and went on tangents about their safety and efficacy—both of which have been well-e

Why California’s SB 53 might provide a meaningful check on big AI companies

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-09-20 22:00:37

California’s state senate recently gave final approval to a new AI safety bill, SB 53, sending it to Governor Gavin Newsom to either sign or veto. If this all sounds familiar, that’s because Newsom vetoed another AI safety bill, also written by state senator Scott Wiener, last year. But SB 53 is narrower than Wiener’s previous SB 1047, with a focus on big AI companies making more than $500 million in annual revenue.

In recent weeks, a series of leaks has plagued Elon Musk’s xAI. Indeed, a slow, steady drip of stories from major news outlets has found, as its basis, a healthy helping of anonymous sources and internal company messages that said sources seem more than willing to share. The portrait of the company that’s being painted is one of a tumultuous startup, where change is rapid and much of the staff has been moved around or let go.

Google figured out early on that video would be a great addition to its search business, so in 2005 it launched Google Video. Focused on making deals with the entertainment industry for second-rate content, and overly cautious on what users could upload, it flopped.
