The Information
Martin Peers @ The Information · 03/17/2026 20:00 EDT

OpenAI has decided the “everything everywhere all at once” strategy isn’t ideal, after all. As we and others reported on Monday night, senior OpenAI executive Fidji Simo told staffers last week that the company needed to “refocus on business customers and cut down on side quests that were becoming a distraction.” (Is that the understatement of the year?) That refocusing has already begun. A couple of weeks ago, we broke news that OpenAI had retreated from its plans to offer shopping directly in the ChatGPT.

Game Over для мышления? С фига ли баня средь недели…

Захотелось порассуждать вслух (впечать?) над мыслями из статьи. Я не буду нападать на представленную там математическую модель, потому что гуманитарий и нифига в них не понимаю (будете кидать тапками — кидай сразу оба — пару хоть продать можно).

When militaries share data centers with banks: how Gulf strikes exposed a structural flaw in global cloud infrastructure

When civilian banks, logistics platforms, and payment processors share physical data center infrastructure with military AI systems, those facilities become legitimate military targets under international humanitarian law — and the civilian services housed inside lose their legal protection. Recent strikes on data centers in the Persian Gulf have turned this from a theoretical risk into ... Read more Read more

A colossal ocean current encircling Antarctica—stronger than all the world’s rivers combined—played a far more complex role in shaping Earth’s climate than scientists once thought. New research shows it didn’t form just because ocean gateways opened, but required shifting continents and powerful winds to align. This shift helped pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, contributing to a major cooling event that transformed Earth into the ice-covered world we know... Read more
