Okay, I need to create an 8-item bulletin summary based on the provided news articles. The user wants only the biggest news and headlines, merging any duplicates. Let me start by reading through all the articles to identify which are the most significant and recurring ones.

First, looking at the list, I notice that some articles are repeated. For example, the South Korea vs. DeepSeek data transfer issue is mentioned twice. The Intel and Alphabet articles also have duplicates. So those should be merged into single entries.

Next, I need to pick the top 8 headlines. Let me check each article's importance. The DeepSeek data issue is a regulatory action against a Chinese company, which is significant. Intel's expense cuts under new leadership and Alphabet's earnings (though mentioned multiple times) relate to major companies' financial performance.

The Trump meme coin and the ethics probe linked to it are recurring and involve public figures, making them prominent. California's new self-driving regulations affecting big companies like Tesla and Waymo is a regulatory change worth noting.

SK Hynix's warning about demand volatility due to AI boom and tariffs is important for the tech supply chain. Revolut's profit surge shows fintech success, and ServiceNow's stock jump on earnings is a market reaction. The SEC's crypto stance is also key for the crypto industry.

Wait, that's more than 8. Let me count again. The main ones would be:

1. DeepSeek data transfer issue (appears multiple times)
2. Intel's expense cuts
3. Alphabet's earnings and ad concerns (merged with their other mentions)
4. Trump meme coin and ethics probe
5. California's autonomous vehicle regulations
6. SK Hynix's warning on AI and tariffs
7. Revolut's profit
8. ServiceNow's stock rise

Wait, maybe the SEC's crypto comments and Adobe's AI app are also important. Hmm, but the user wants exactly 8 items. Let's prioritize. The Trump coin and its related stories (dinner, insider sales delay) should be merged into one item. The Alphabet items can be combined into one as they're related to their performance. Same with the Revolut and ServiceNow. Let me ensure each entry is unique and merged duplicates. Let's make sure each is a big headline.

Final list:

1. South Korea accuses DeepSeek of data transfer without consent (merged)
2. Intel cuts expenses post-Tan leadership
3. Alphabet's strong ad performance but trade war concerns
4. Trump meme coin controversies (dinner and ethics probe)
5. California's new self-driving rules
6. SK Hynix warns AI and tariffs impact
7. Revolut's $1B profit
8. SEC's crypto stance and Adobe's AI app launch

That's 8. Now check links for each to pick the correct one. For duplicates, take the first link. Make sure descriptions are concise. Also, the Trump coin surge and insider delay could be part of the same point. Alright, let's structure each with title, link, and brief description.
