Meta is planning to layoff around 10 percent of employees in May, according to a memo from the company's chief people officer, Janelle Gale, published by Bloomberg . That means approximately 8,000 people will see their jobs cut. Meta will also be closing around 6,000 open roles, according to Gale. The cuts follow Meta's significant investments in AI , including spending huge sums to hire top talent and build data centers . The company forecast in January that it will spend $115 billion to $135 billion in capital expenditures in 2026 - a significant increase from its $72.22 billion in capital expenditures for 2025. The increase is to "support o … Read the full story at The Verge.

Klaus Vedfelt/DigitalVision via Getty Images OpenAI ( OPENAI ) has launched ChatGPT for Clinicians, which is a version of the chatbot designed to support clinical tasks such as documentation and medical research. It is being offered at no charge to verified physicians, NPs, PAs, and pharmacists in the U.S. OpenAI said use of AI tools by medical professionals in the U.S. continues to grow. It cited a recent survey by the American Medical Association that found 72% of physicians use some form of AI in clinical work compared to 48% last year. OpenAI also introduced HealthBench Professional , an open benchmark for real clinician chat tasks across three use cases, including care consult, writing and documentation, and medical research. The development builds on OpenAI's tools for the healthcare industry. The Sam Altman-led company introduced ChatGPT for Healthcare in January. OpenAI plans to eventually release ChatGPT for Clinicians to more countries and groups.

随着美国总统特朗普延长停火期限但是维持对伊朗的海上封锁，美伊局势陷入了一种令人窒息的“不战不和”僵局。霍尔木兹海峡的航道依然紧锁，全球能源与供应链的“大动脉”面临严峻的挑战。受到和谈搁浅的消息影响，从22日开始，国际原油价格已经连续两天站稳每桶100美元的高位。每天约1000万桶，也就是全球约10%的石油供应被困在霍尔木兹海峡之内，这种巨大的缺口正在推高全球通胀。国际货币基金组织发出严厉警告：如果冲突持续数月，2026年全球经济增长率可能萎缩至2%。（央视新闻）

伊朗路由器竟成了“内鬼”。 据央视新闻援引伊朗媒体4月14日报道，伊朗见证了诡异的一幕：全国范围内，大量美国品牌的路由器、防火墙竟集体死机。不是一台两台， 而是大量网络设备，它们在同一时间窗口内同步崩溃。它们也不是无名之辈，而是思科、飞塔和朱尼珀等响当当的美国大牌。 更诡异的是，据中国新闻网·三里河4月22日报道，设备失灵与美以打击行动，在时间上做到了精准吻合。也就是说， 导弹落地之前，网络设备瘫痪已经使雷达失联，指挥链路中断，部队瞬间“失明” 。 有媒体感慨，这是一场经过精密策划的 “数字斩首” 。 毕竟，伊朗已切断国际互联网通讯服务，来自外部的网络攻击可能性微乎其微。 伊朗网络安全专家分析认为，该国的通信网络此次可能遭受四种恶意攻击。 一是隐藏访问 ：相关产品中包含即使没有互联网连接也能激活的“后门”，能够破坏设备； 二是恶意数据包 ：从网络内部发送特殊数据，致使系统瞬间瘫痪； 三是潜伏式“僵尸网络” ：潜伏多年的恶意软件，在特定事件发生时被激活； 四是生产链污染 ：硬件和软件在进入该国前已被篡改，即使更换操作系统也无法解决问题。 伊朗方面消息称，此次事件表明，一个国家网络安全的支柱不能依赖外国设备。真正的安全始于自主拥有和生产本土技术。发展国产设备不再是一句口号，而是在网络战中生存的必要条件。 熟悉网络安全的消息人士表示，伊朗的网络实验室将在近期公布更多证据和信息，表明相关设备制造企业与美国和以色列政府之间存在技术合作。 美联社曾爆料： 思科 是以色列军方技术基础设施的关键支持者，其服务器和数据中心服务以方军事行动。不止思科，被点名的科技巨头，个个如雷贯耳： 微软、谷歌、亚马逊、IBM ……美国科技巨头向以色列提供技术支持，人工智能（AI）被用来识别目标，云端服务被用来支撑作战。特别是 AI头部企业Palantir 。它很低调，却是五角大楼的技术供应商，同时是以色列的合作伙伴。 伊朗一直处在数字战争的第一线。 2010年，美以联合开发“震网”病毒，摧毁了伊朗纳坦兹核设施的大量离心机，伊朗核计划被推迟数年。这被认为是全球首个通过数字手段对物理设施实施破坏的已知案例。 2月28日美以空袭当日，伊朗全国网络连接降至正常水平的4%，政府网站全面下线，国家通讯社IRNA宕机，革命卫队的通讯社被黑客篡改。而针对伊朗领导层的“定点清除”，背后也被曝与AI介入有关。据美以官员...

Jane Street Group urged a judge to throw out a lawsuit accusing it of trading on inside information ahead of the $40 billion crash of cryptocurrencies associated with Terraform Labs . In a Thursday court filing, Jane Street denied insider-trading and market-manipulation claims brought by the bankruptcy administrator winding down Terraform’s business. It said the suit aimed to “extract cash from Jane Street to foot the bill for a fraud” the crypto firm itself perpetrated. Terraform co-founder Do Kwon pleaded guilty to fraud and was sentenced in December to 15 years in prison. “It is well established that the direct cause of investor losses was Terraform and Do Kwon’s fraud — in which Jane Street played no part,” the firm said in the Manhattan federal court filing. Terraform imploded in May 2022 when its TerraUSD stablecoin lost its peg to the US dollar, leading to the collapse of its sister token, Luna. The failure set off an industry-wide downturn that became known as the “crypto winter” and contributed to the downfall of Sam Bankman-Fried ’s FTX exchange. Todd R. Snyder, Terraform’s administrator, claimed Jane Street used non-public information to make front-running trades that increased the pressure on Terraform, allowing the trading firm “to unwind hundreds of millions of dollars in potential exposure at precisely the right time, mere hours before the Terraform ecosystem collapsed.” Jane Street said Thursday that Snyder’s suit failed to show that it possessed inside information or that the trading firm acted on it. To the contrary, Jane Street said many of the trades cited by Snyder were clearly based on “public market signals” about Terra’s instability. “That alone is dispositive: insider trading cannot be based on information the market already knew,” Jane Street said. Jane Street co-founder Robert Granieri participated in discussions with a competitor, Jump Trading , about a potential bailout for Terraform, but the effort was ultimately shelved. In its Thursda...

Meta is laying off about 8,000 workers, or about 10% of its workforce, the company said Thursday as it continues to ramp up spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure and highly paid AI-expert hires. Also Thursday, Microsoft said it was offering voluntary buyouts to thousands of its U.S. employees. While an alternative to the sudden layoffs removing tech workers from peers like Meta and Oracle, the savings are likely tied to a similar industry upheaval that is requiring huge spending on the costs of artificial intelligence.
