Robinhood announced today that users can now connect AI agents to the platform to autonomously trade stocks on their behalf. Users create a separate "agentic trading account," load it with funds, and connect their own AI agent via Robinhood's Model Context Protocol (MCP) service. The agent can analyze portfolios, assess concentration risk, review analyst notes, and execute trades. Users receive notifications on every trade and can pause autonomous trading at any time. Some trades require manual approval before execution. Robinhood says it has built in fraud detection to review suspicious activity. The feature launches in beta for equities only. Options, crypto, event contracts, futures, and prediction markets are planned for later releases. Robinhood is also launching a virtual credit card that lets AI agents make purchases on users' behalf, available to Gold Card holders with configurable spending limits. "Our mission has always been to democratize finance for all, and now, that mission extends to AI agents," CEO Vlad Tenev said.

China now burns more coal than every other country on Earth combined. 55.8% of all coal consumed globally. Record output of 4.83 billion tonnes in 2025. This is after the most aggressive solar and wind buildout in history. Demand is growing so fast that renewables add to the total rather than replace anything. Since 2000, China accounts for 82% of all global coal demand growth. The IEA doesn't even project coal demand to decline. Just "plateau." Every COP pledge, every net-zero commitment, every ESG mandate runs headfirst into this chart. China understood the assignment: build generation first, optimize later. The West got it backwards, restricting supply while demand keeps climbing. The result is energy poverty dressed up as environmental policy.

NVIDIA just unveiled plans for a 4-hectare campus in Taipei called Constellation. 4,000 employees. Jensen Huang announced it alongside Taipei's mayor.

New Hampshire's House and Senate just agreed on a compromise version of HB639, a bill that protects the right to self-custody bitcoin, run a node, mine, stake, and use bitcoin for payments. No state or local agency can restrict any of it. The bill also exempts personal mining, staking, and node operation from money transmitter and securities rules. Still needs final votes in both chambers before heading to the governor's desk, but the hard part is over.

Jensen Huang is in Taiwan ahead of his COMPUTEX keynote on June 1. He sat down with TSMC Chairman C.C. Wei for dinner, calling the relationship existential. "Without TSMC and Morris Chang, Nvidia wouldn't be here today," Huang said. Nvidia is building a new Taiwan headquarters, hiring aggressively, and Huang says the company spends "hundreds of billions of dollars in AI infrastructure, and most of our spend is in Taiwan." This comes weeks after Huang joined the delegation of US executives who traveled to China with President Trump. In a CNA interview on May 25, Huang said it would be "not wise" to have two separate AI ecosystems and admitted Nvidia has "largely conceded" China's AI chip market to Huawei. US export controls created a vacuum that Chinese companies filled, and Huawei and Chinese AI startups had "record years" as a result. The US Commerce Department has approved roughly 10 Chinese firms to purchase Nvidia's H200 chips, but not a single delivery has been made. Chip export controls were reportedly not part of the Trump-China trade discussions. Huang is threading a needle between Washington and Beijing while deepening his anchor in Taiwan. He's publicly aligning with Trump's China engagement while arguing the export controls handed an entire market to America's chief competitor. He's doubling down on TSMC at a moment when Taiwan's strategic importance has never been higher and warning that rising memory prices represent "a very important form of inflation."

The UK government claims adding synthetic folic acid to all non-wholemeal wheat flour by December 2026 will prevent up to 200 neural tube birth defects per year. What they aren't telling you is that a significant portion of the population can't efficiently process it. Around 36% of Europeans carry a variant of the MTHFR gene that reduces the body's ability to convert synthetic folic acid into its usable form. For the roughly 10-15% who carry two copies, enzyme function drops to about 30% of normal. When conversion is impaired, unmetabolised folic acid accumulates in the blood. Peer-reviewed research has linked this buildup to altered lipid metabolism, immune disruption, and liver changes. No large-scale long-term human studies have examined what decades of UMFA accumulation does to people with impaired conversion. Folic acid is not folate. Folate is the natural form of vitamin B9 found in liver, leafy greens, and eggs. It comes ready to use. Synthetic folic acid requires conversion through the same enzyme that over a third of Europeans have impaired function in. The government is mandating this with no screening, no individual consideration, and no opt-out for standard white or brown bread. Researchers have argued that fortifying with 5-MTHF, the active form, would be safer and more effective. The government chose synthetic folic acid because it's cheaper.
