Welcome to Tech In Depth, our daily newsletter about the business of tech from Bloomberg’s journalists around the world. Today, Austin Carr looks at the question of how artificial intelligence will affect workers after major job cuts at financial tech company Block. Tech Across the Globe Oracle-OpenAI plans: Oracle and OpenAI have ended talks to lease an expansion of their Stargate artificial intelligence data center site in Texas. Meta is now in discussion to use the location. Social media bans: The move to keep young people off social media platforms has expanded to Indonesia and India. Pentagon-Anthropic dispute: The AI startup runs the risk of losing a wide range of US government business after the Defense Department declared it a supply chain security risk in a dispute over artificial intelligence safety guardrails. Revalued Startup AI chipmaker Cerebras has picked Morgan Stanley to lead its initial public offering in a renewed attempt to go public. The offering could raise about $2 billion in a listing as soon as April. The company, valued at $23 billion in a funding round earlier this year, withdrew its previous IPO registration in October. The future of work Last week, Block co-founder and chairman Jack Dorsey tried to do damage control after announcing that the financial tech firm was laying off 40% of its workforce , or about 4,000 employees. Dorsey attributed the job cuts to advances in artificial intelligence that have been enabling Block to increase productivity with smaller teams, but critics wondered whether he was really “ AI-washing ” layoffs that could otherwise be blamed on mismanagement and over-hiring. The debate soon spilled into social media as Dorsey publicly defended his decision and denied that Block, the maker of Square and Cash App, was bloated. Whether he was indeed deflecting or not, the drama demonstrates the challenges companies are having in balancing talk of the wild efficiencies afforded by this radically new technology with the co...

(00:13) Live Nation ( LYV ) nears DOJ settlement that avoids Ticketmaster sale: report. (01:51) Alphabet ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) offers CEO pay deal worth up to $692M with stock price, Waymo incentives. (02:19) This is an abridged transcript. G7 finance ministers will reportedly discuss a possible joint release of petroleum from reserves coordinated by the International Energy Agency. The Financial Times reported that the leaders will have an emergency meeting today aimed at tackling the surge in oil prices following the conflict in the Gulf. According to people familiar with the situation, including a senior G7 official, the ministers and Fatih Birol, IEA executive director, will hold a call at 8.30am New York time to discuss the impact of the Iran war. Three G7 countries, including the U.S., have so far expressed support for the idea, according to the people familiar with the talks. The 32 members of the IEA hold strategic reserves as part of a collective emergency system designed for oil price crises. According to the FT report , one person indicated that certain U.S. officials see a 300 million–400 million barrel release, or 25–30% of the 1.2 billion barrel reserve, as reasonable. The price at the pump has risen greatly over the past week. According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of gas is $3.47. It was less than $3 before the war began. Meanwhile, South Korea’s president invokes the first fuel price ceiling in 30 years to combat war-driven energy shock . We’re also following reports that the Saudis are offering oil on the spot market as the war has disrupted contracted flows . Live Nation Entertainment ( LYV ) is reportedly close to settling a federal antitrust lawsuit accusing the company of illegally monopolizing the live music industry. Bloomberg News is reporting that the settleme...

Standoff with DoD over Claude chatbot reignites debate over how AI will be used in war – and who will be held accountable Until recently, Anthropic was one of the quieter names in the artificial intelligence boom. Despite being valued at about $350bn, it rarely generated the flashy headlines or public backlash associated with Sam Altman’s OpenAI or Elon Musk’s xAI. Its CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei was an industry fixture but hardly a household name outside of Silicon Valley, and its chatbot Claude lagged in popularity behind ChatGPT. That perception has shifted as Anthropic has become the central actor in a high-profile fight with the Department of Defense over the company’s refusal to allow Claude to be used for domestic mass surveillance and autonomous weapons systems that can kill people without human input. Amid tense negotiations, the AI firm rejected a Pentagon deadline for a deal last week, in a move that led Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, to accuse Anthropic of “arrogance and betrayal” of its home country while demanding that any companies that work with the US government cease all business with the AI firm.

The large tortoiseshell – an elusive and enigmatic butterfly that became extinct in Britain in the last century – is a UK resident species once again, with a flurry of early spring sightings. Britain’s list of native butterflies has increased to 60 with the return of the insect after individuals emerged from hibernation in woodlands in Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Dorset, Cornwall and the Isle of Wight. The sightings have led Butterfly Conservation to declare the large tortoiseshell (Nymphalis polychloros) a resident species in the UK – as opposed to a migratory one – for the first time in the charity’s 58-year history. “The signs are really positive, which is lovely,” said Richard Fox, head of science for Butterfly Conservation. “It is resident and therefore it is another species to add to Britain’s total, which is good news. It’s not well-established enough yet to say it’s definitely back for good and will be widespread across multiple landscapes – we’re still in that zone of uncertainty at the moment, but there are exciting signs.” Unlike the small tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae), which is found in gardens and whose caterpillars eat nettles, the large tortoiseshell is a tree-dwelling butterfly whose caterpillars feed on trees including elm, willow, aspen and poplar. View image in fullscreen A small tortoiseshell – with white patches near its wingtips that are not found on the larger species. Photograph: Ray Wilson/Alamy It is bigger, as its name suggests, and lacks the white markings found on its more widespread counterpart. The loss of elms due Dutch elm disease was once considered a factor in the large tortoiseshell’s extinction in the UK by the 1960s, but lepidopterists now believe Britain may have always been at the northerly limit of its natural range and the species’ return is now assisted by global heating. It last flourished in Britain during a run of fine summers in the 1940s, but in recent years growing numbers have migrated across the North Sea and the Chan...

In the shadow of Antwerp’s main arena, close to the city’s docklands, runs the Groot Schijn River. It was here that the body of Rita Roberts was discovered in June 1992, floating against the grate of a water treatment plant. She appeared to have been murdered, but Belgian police were unable to identify her. A tattoo of a black rose with green leaves and initials on her left arm was their only clue. Without knowing her name, police struggled for leads on who could have killed Roberts. Her case remained in limbo for almost three decades until police in the Netherlands realised that a large number of their own cold cases were also unidentified women, such as Roberts, who had been murdered or died in suspicious circumstances. View image in fullscreen Susan Hitchin, who leads the forensic DNA unit, at Interpol’s headquarters in Lyon. Photograph: Alexandre Bagdassarian/Guardian They suspected many were probably foreign nationals and perhaps victims of human trafficking, or with family in other countries who did not know they were missing – and that making progress with their investigations would require a cross-border approach. Dutch police contacted neighbouring Belgian and German forces and eventually Interpol about the possibility of an international appeal for information on the cases. It was this that brought Roberts’ and other unidentified death cases to the desk of Susan Hitchin, from the forensics team at Interpol’s headquarters in the French city of Lyon. In 2023, in an effort to locate family members and kickstart stalled investigations, Interpol launched Operation Identify Me and began publishing the details of dozens of women from across Europe who had been murdered or died in suspicious circumstances. Hitchin remembers the day that the message from Roberts’ family in the UK came through to her team. They had recognised her distinctive tattoo in news reports about the appeal. “It’s one of those [messages] that sends a shiver down your spine, because you can se...

Claes Bang plays the Danish designer of Paris’s Grande Arche in a meticulous drama about artistic purity colliding with bureaucratic ego and national vanity At first glance, Stéphane Demoustier’s new drama about the construction of Paris’s Arche de la Défense appears to belong to the recent run of what you might call French brand-heritage pictures, which include the likes of 2021’s Eiffel or 2023’s Widow Clicquot . But adapted from Laurence Cossé ’s 2016 novel La Grande Arche, the film is not the story of a cultural triumph but rather the testimony of a failure, or at least a monumental botch-job, that spiritually crushed its Danish architect, Johan Otto von Spreckelsen (played here by Claes Bang). In 1983, Von Spreckelsen was the unexpected winner of an international competition to design the statement building for the French capital’s western business district. He’s such an obscure name that the embassy in Denmark doesn’t even know who he is, leaving President Mitterrand’s adviser Jean-Louis Subilon (a toadying Xavier Dolan) to track him down while he’s fishing in a Danish lake. Summoned to France, this purist refuses to deviate from the perfect dimensions of his “Cube”, seeing it as the culmination of his life’s work. But he’s immediately caught between the pernickety caprices of the premier (Michel Fau) and the cost-cutting wiles of the technocrat Subilon. Continue reading...

Some of the largest US banks are considering suing their financial regulator, arguing that a new raft of licenses for crypto, payment and fintech could put American consumers and the wider financial system at risk. The Bank Policy Institute (BPI), which represents 40 of the biggest US lenders including JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, is understood to be weighing its legal options after the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) failed to heed repeated warnings from influential banking groups and state regulators over its reinterpretation of federal licensing rules. The OCC, which is led by Jonathan Gould, a Donald Trump appointee and former crypto executive, has effectively made it easier for crypto and fintech upstarts to secure and operate under a national bank trust charter, giving them the right to serve customers across all 50 states. However, banks say giving these firms the OCC’s stamp of approval means letting firms loose into the US financial system without the same rigorous supervision and controls required of fully fledged banks. The reforms brought forward by the OCC are widely seen as playing into the Trump administration’s ideological push to bring crypto and previously fringe financial firms into the mainstream. Trump’s own family-run cryptocurrency business, World Liberty Financial, made headlines after applying for one of the OCC’s national trust bank charters in January. Although bank lobby groups have so far stopped short of commenting on the firm’s bid for regulatory approval, the move has sparked opposition in Congress. The BPI in October urged the OCC to reject applications by crypto and blockchain firms Circle and Ripple, as well as London-headquartered payments firm Wise, all of which lodged applications for so-called national trust charters. The BPI, which has a board that includes JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon, Bank of America’s Brian Moynihan, and Goldman Sachs chief David Solomon, warned at the time that “allowing firms to c...

Our physiological response to emotions apparently lasts just a minute and a half. But there’s an embarrassing episode from 2009 that still makes me sweat I’ve just discovered the “90-second rule”, a concept neuroanatomist Dr Jill Bolte Taylor explored in her book, Whole Brain Living, back in 2021. That’s how long our physiological response to emotions such as anger lasts, from the time we formulate a thought to the point at which our blood is “completely clean” of the noradrenaline released in response to it, Bolte Taylor explained to a US news channel . I read about it in US magazine Bustle , which suggested a 90-second timeout could “reset your vibe”, reframing it, bleakly, as an alternative to a lunch break: “It often feels like a big ask to take an hour lunch … everyone can use just 90 seconds for a quick reset.” Presumably it’s back in the ether because Bolte Taylor appeared on Steven Bartlett’s podcast last November, explaining that if you’re still experiencing emotional reactions after 90 seconds, “you’re rethinking the thoughts.” Continue reading...

Luke, a blind Australian shepherd, came to us seven years ago, after we rescued him from a working horse farm. Even though he can’t see, Luke moves around with a fearlessness that is inspiring. He compensates with his other senses; Luke can smell and hear at an astonishing level, that’s how he notices things. But he also seems to understand that he’s going to run into things and be confused at times. That does not deter him in the slightest. View image in fullscreen ‘He seems to sense when you’re down’ … Luke and Linda Lopez Tabarez at Bubbling Springs park in California, 2020. Photograph: Steven R Tabarez Luke looks like the classic Australian shepherd – grey, white, brown and black with spots all over. His eyes are getting old and filmy but they have life in them. At home, he knows exactly where everything is and only bumps into things when he gets excited. We try to help by not moving things unnecessarily and by keeping things tidy, so he won’t trip over anything. Luke is always happy, smiles a lot, and seems to sense when you’re down. He often walks by other dogs without noticing them. Cats can easily outsmart him by sitting still and being quiet. One cat likes to let Luke find him and then the cat moves three feet to the left, and the hunt starts all over again. He tries to herd things and loves getting into the classic shepherd herding position, even though he’s only trying to guide pigeons who land on the lawn. He likes bones and getting scratched behind the ears. He dislikes loud noises – we live in California and the Fourth of July is his least favourite holiday because of all the fireworks. He’s taught us tolerance and acceptance at a time in our lives when we’re getting older and all the bad news happening in the world has made it harder to care. Luke always cares and reminds us we can too. View image in fullscreen ‘Different but able’ … painted portrait of Luke.

Representatives of China’s semiconductor industry are calling for stronger state backing in artificial intelligence chips and critical materials, aiming to fast-track core technology breakthroughs. During last week’s “two sessions” – the annual meetings of China’s top legislature and advisory body – scholars and entrepreneurs in the semiconductor sector urged Beijing to leverage the nation’s advantage in strategic chip raw materials and accelerate the commercial application of AI chips to secure a lead in the global tech race. Zhang Yunquan, a professor specialising in high-performance computing at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said the government should take a greater role in regulating the prices of AI computing power, which is delivered by chips running in data centres for modern AI workloads. Advertisement “Competition among companies is fierce, with most resorting to low-price tactics, leading to ‘involutionary’ competition,” he told the South China Morning Post during the sessions, referring to cutthroat, low-quality price competition – prevalent in sectors ranging from electric vehicles (EVs) to food delivery – that Beijing has vowed to combat. Zhang, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, suggested that the government could issue pricing guidelines on AI computing power. He proposed that the country establish a “unified trading market where computing power across the country can be traded uniformly”, making computing power “a commodity like electricity or oil”. Advertisement Hao Yue, a deputy to the National People’s Congress (NPC) and vice-president of Xidian University in Xian, Shaanxi province, highlighted China’s “industrial leverage” in rare earth elements.

This week, tens of thousands of game developers and producers will once again gather in San Francisco, as they have since 1988, for the weeklong Game Developers Conference. But this year’s show will be missing many international developers who say they no longer feel comfortable traveling to the United States to attend, no matter how relevant the show is to their work and careers. Dozens of those developers who spoke to Ars in recent months say they’re wary of traveling to a country that has shown a callous disregard for—or outright hostility toward—the safety of international travelers. That’s especially true for developers from various minority groups, those with transgender identities, and those who feel they could be targeted for outspoken political beliefs. “I honestly don't know anyone who is not from the US who is planning on going to the next GDC,” Godot Foundation Executive Director Emilio Coppola, who’s based in Spain, told Ars. “We never felt super safe, but now we are not willing to risk it.” Read full article Comments

With markets in crisis, it’s a good time to check in on our bear put spread screener. A bear put spread is a vertical spread that aims to profit from a stock declining in price. It has a bearish directional bias as hinted in the name. Unlike the bear call spread, it suffers from time decay so traders need to be correct on the direction of the underlying and also the timing. A bear put spread is created through buying an out-of-the-money put and selling a further out-of-the-money put. The maximum profit is equal to the distance between the strikes, less the premium paid. The loss is limited to the premium paid. Let’s take a look at Barchart’s Bear Put Spread Screener for today: Some interesting trades here with impressive Max Profit Percentage. Let’s take a look at the first item in the table – a bear put spread on Nvidia (NVDA). NVDA Bear Put Spread Example Using the May 15 expiry, this trade involves buying the $195 put and selling the $190 put. The price for the trade is $3.35 which means the trader would pay $335 to enter the trade. This is also the maximum loss. The maximum gain be calculated by taking the width between the strikes and subtracting the premium paid: 5 – 3.35 x 100 = $165. The breakeven price for the trade is equal to the long put strike, less the premium. In this case, that gives us a breakeven price of $191.65. Let’s look at another example. This time on Palantir (PLTR). Palantir Bear Put Spread Example The first Palantir bear put spread is also using the May 15 expiry and involves buying the $170 trike put and selling the $165 strike put. The cost of the trade is $320 which is also the maximum loss with the maximum possible gain being $180. The maximum gain would occur if Palantir stays below $170 on the expiration date. Let’s look at another example, this time on Oracle (ORCL). Oracle Bear Put Spread Example The Oracle trade is also using the May 15 expiry and involves buying the $165 strike put and selling the $160 strike put. The cost of the...
