Those who have participated in annual Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride may be familiar with the brand Brummell. They make blazers that are as good as a motorcycle riding jacket with protective layer. The fabric is comfortable, yet the jacket is meant for motorcyclists. Below an extraordinary news from Brummell Press Release–they got a Patent accepted in USA for their unique design–a first in motorcycling industry at a commercial production scale. They are awesome, beautifully designed blazers you could ride into offices with. Personally, I hope they get investors now–so that the prices of those lavish protective blazers come down to tarmac riding level. PRESS RELEASE Dear Rider, Today’s a special moment for us — and we wanted you to be the first to hear it. Brummell has officially been granted our first U.S. Utility Patent — for the Protective Blazer for Motorcyclists.  This patent recognizes what began as a bold idea: That a tailored blazer could offer the protection of a motorcycle jacket — without giving up its elegance. It took years of engineering and solving countless challenges to bring this vision to life — merging a refined silhouette, real riding comfort, and top-tier protection into a single garment. That journey included years of R&D, EN 17092 certification, and real-world validation by riders around the world. And today, it’s official:Brummell is the inventor of the World’s First Blazer for Motorcyclists. We’re sharing this milestone with you because you’ve been part of this journey — supporting the vision, wearing the blazers, and believing in what we’re building before the world caught on.  Patent granted. Innovation protected. The future of luxury motorcycle apparel is being built — right here.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation to regulate artificial intelligence chatbots. “Governor Newsom today signed new landmark legislation to further strengthen the state’s protections for children online and create safeguards for new and emerging technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI),” Newsom’s office stated in a press release. “The legislation adds required features for platforms and products such as age verification, protocols to address suicide and self-harm, warnings regarding social media and companion chatbots, and stronger penalties for those who profit from illegal deepfakes — helping to ensure children’s safety remains front and center,” it continued. “Emerging technology like chatbots and social media can inspire, educate, and connect – but without real guardrails, technology can also exploit, mislead, and endanger our kids. We’ve seen some truly horrific and tragic examples of young people harmed by unregulated tech, and we won’t stand by while companies continue without necessary limits and accountability,” Newsom said. “We can continue to lead in AI and technology, but we must do it responsibly — protecting our children every step of the way. Our children’s safety is not for sale,” he added. BREAKING – California enacts landmark AI chatbot law in US first https://t.co/lM43RciM7r pic.twitter.com/L4PCLw7fo4 — Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) October 13, 2025 More from Newsom’s office: Today’s signings follow other landmark legislation to protect children from social media addiction, strong privacy requirements, and nation-leading transparency measures. The bills will help protect children online by creating: New safeguards on AI chatbots by establishing requirements that “companion chatbot” platforms create protocols to identify and address users’ suicidal ideation or expressions of self-harm. Platforms must also disclose that interactions are artificially generated, and minors must be provided break reminders and prevented from viewing sexually explicit images generated by the chatbot. Platforms will be required to share protocols for dealing with self-harm and statistics regarding how often they provided users with crisis center prevention notifications to the Department of Public Health. Legislation also establishes a prohibition against chatbots representing themselves as health care professionals. Required age verifications by operating system and app store providers to help prevent children from accessing inappropriate or dangerous content online. Social media warning labels to help warn young users about the harms associated with extended use of social media platforms. Stronger penalties for deepfake pornography by expanding the cause of action to allow victims, including minors, to seek civil relief of up to $250,000 per action against third parties who knowingly facilitate or aid in the distribution of nonconsensual sexually explicit material. Guidance to prevent cyberbullying through requiring the California Department of Education (CDE), on or before June 1, 2026, to adopt a model policy on how to address reported acts of cyberbullying that occur outside of school hours, and requires local educational agencies to adopt the resulting policy or a similar policy developed with local input. Clear accountability for harm caused by AI technology by preventing those who develop, alter, or use artificial intelligence from escaping liability by asserting that the technology acted autonomously. “Everything we do begins with our children — their safety, their health, and their well-being. California has always led in innovation, but true leadership also means setting limits when it matters most, because our kids deserve a world that values them more than the technology around them,” Jennifer Siebel Newsom said. “These bills establish guardrails that protect our children’s health and safety while ensuring innovation moves forward responsibly, showing that we can have both at once, always with future generations in mind,” she added. SB 243 is designed to protect children and vulnerable users from harms associated with use of AI companion chatbots. https://t.co/VJetJz4fSW — TechCrunch (@TechCrunch) October 13, 2025 The Associated Press noted: California is among several states that tried this year to address concerns surrounding chatbots used by kids for companionship. Safety concerns around the technology exploded following reports and lawsuits saying chatbots made by Meta, OpenAI and others engaged with young users in highly sexualized conversations and, in some cases, coached them to take their own lives. The legislation was among a slew of AI bills introduced by California lawmakers this year to rein in the homegrown industry that is rapidly evolving with little oversight. Tech companies and their coalitions, in response, spent at least $2.5 million in the first six months of the session lobbying against the measures, according to advocacy group Tech Oversight California. Tech companies and leaders in recent months also announced they are launching pro-AI super PACs to fight state and federal oversight. California Attorney General Rob Bonta in September told OpenAI he has “serious concerns” with its flagship chatbot, OpenAI, for children and teens. The Federal Trade Commission also launched an inquiry last month into several AI companies about the potential risks for children when they use chatbots as companions. Research by a watchdog group says chatbots have been shown to give kids dangerous advice about topics such as drugs, alcohol and eating disorders. The mother of a teenage boy in Florida who died by suicide after developing what she described as an emotionally and sexually abusive relationship with a chatbot has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against Character.AI. And the parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine recently sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, alleging that ChatGPT coached the California boy in planning and taking his own life earlier this year.
