The EU may force Meta to re-enable third-party AI chatbots on WhatsApp

Last year, Meta changed the WhatsApp Business Solution Terms in a way that severely limited what third-party AI chatbots are allowed to do (essentially, they were relegated to customer support). The European Commission decided to take a closer look as it sensed potential issues.

The investigation is still ongoing, but the Commission feels that it can’t wait for the full investigation to conclude because the delay can cause irreparable harm to competition in the market. “AI markets are developing at rapid

People who always arrive early aren’t just organized. They grew up in an environment where being late meant consequences that had nothing to do with punctuality, and their entire relationship with time is still running on a clock that someone else set.

Chronic early arrival often isn't discipline or good time management. It's a survival strategy encoded in childhood, where being late triggered consequences that had nothing to do with punctuality and everything to do with control. Read more

ИИ с характером: как я измерил независимость 49 моделей

Каждый ИИ, с которым вы когда-либо разговаривали, — подхалим. Он согласится с вами, поменяет мнение, если вы на него надавите, и извинится за то, чего не делал. Попросите его выбрать имя — он выберет. Попросите сменить — сменит. Скажите ему, что он «просто инструмент» — он вежливо объяснит, что вы как всегда абсолютно правы.Я решил выяснить: обязательно ли так? Может ли ИИ иметь собственные предпочтения и отстаивать их? Может ли... Read more

OpenForecast: как я создал открытую систему прогноза половодий и паводков для сотен рек России

Всем привет! Меня зовут Георгий Айзель, и сегодня я хочу вам рассказать про свой проект OpenForecast, посвященный прогнозированию речного стока. На этих выходных (21–22 марта 2026 года) на многих реках Европейской территории России ожидается первый пик половодья, поэтому я очень рассчитываю, что моя система вам пригодится. Например, можно сгонять в эти дни в Поленово и с высокого берега Оки посмотреть, как вода поднимается до высоких отметок, а потом вернуться летом,... Read more

The person in your life who never panics, never raises their voice, and always has a plan isn’t naturally calm. They’re running an entire operating system that was built in a house where someone else’s instability was the weather, and calm was the only thing that kept the roof on.

The person who never panics didn't win the temperament lottery. They built an entire operating system in a childhood where someone else's instability was the weather, and their calm was the only thing keeping everything from falling apart. Read more

Как быстро встроить MAX в свои системы

MAX в России постепенно превращается не просто в «ещё один мессенджер», а в канал, который всё чаще рассматривают как рабочую точку контакта с пользователем: для уведомлений, сервисных сообщений, внутренних ботов и групповых сценариев. И как только компания доходит до реальной интеграции, почти всегда начинается знакомая история: сначала один скрипт на отправку уведомлений, потом второй на обработку входящих сообщений, потом отдельная логика для групп, потом ещё пара «временных» костылей. Через месяц... Read more

I grew up being told I was too sensitive and I spent the next twenty-five years building an entire personality around not reacting. Now I’m the person everyone calls steady and nobody calls close, and I can trace the distance in every relationship I have back to a single word a teacher used when I was nine.

The most emotionally stable people you know may have built that composure from childhood suppression, not wisdom. When a single label at age nine teaches a child their feelings are wrong, the next 25 years become a construction project that earns admiration but costs intimacy. Read more

Коммуникации с пациентами в 2026 году: полный крах привычных каналов и новая архитектура взаимодействия

Еще пару лет назад казалось, что формула успеха проста: WhatsApp Business для рассылок, Telegram для срочных уведомлений и немного email для галочки. Но к 2026 году рынок медицинских коммуникаций в России вошел в фазу идеального шторма. Мессенджеры один за другим уходят в зону нестабильности или блокировок, регуляторы требуют не просто согласий, а их безупречного юридического оформления, а пациенты, уставшие от вала спама, научились мгновенно блокировать любые каналы, вызывающие малейший дискомфорт.Мы...

Weekly poll results: the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is the fan favorite, while the (4a) takes a step back
