Crikey | Why big tech has always been obsessed with hiding its shame by Ketan Joshi AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article argues that big‑tech companies routinely obscure the true scale of their environmental impact, pointing to examples such as Amazon’s claim of 100 % renewable power while fighting mandatory emissions reporting, and using Canberra Data Centres (CDC) as a case study: its founder Greg Boorer boasts that Australia can build world‑class data centres and still meet net‑zero targets by tapping “substantial unused capacity” in the power system and claims CDC is already net‑zero, despite the broader reality that the industry is imposing massive new energy demand on suburban fringes and relying on vague promises of future technological fixes to downplay the issue.

US Top News and Analysis | Big Tech earnings show how big, smart spending can be rewarded by the market AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Jim Cramer argues that the recent “data‑center‑spending bubble” narrative is misplaced, pointing to this quarter’s earnings from the “Magnificent Seven” tech giants—Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia and Tesla—to show that smart, targeted capex is paying off. Alphabet and Amazon saw strong post‑earnings rallies as Google Cloud and AWS accelerate, while Apple benefits from high‑margin services despite modest spend. In contrast, Microsoft’s stock slipped despite Azure growth, and Meta’s higher data‑center outlay looks unjustified given its lack of a cloud business. Cramer concludes that the companies that spend wisely on AI infrastructure are the winners, whereas those that over‑spend or under‑invest face shrinking valuations and uncertain futures.

Times of India | Tech Layoffs cross 92,000 in April, making 2026 the worst year for tech employees ever: Meta, Amazon, Oracle and other companies that announced biggest job cuts 2026 AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. In May 2026 the tech sector has already eliminated more than 92,000 workers across 98 companies, making April the worst single month for layoffs in at least two years. Major cuts include Meta’s 8,000‑job reduction (≈10 % of its global staff), Snap’s 1,000‑job cut (≈16 % of its workforce), Amazon’s 30,000 white‑collar role eliminations over six months, Oracle’s AI‑driven headcount trims, Block’s 40 % reduction (≈4,000 jobs), and smaller firms such as GoPro (23 % of staff) and Tailwind (three of four engineers). Companies cite soaring AI infrastructure spending—collectively $674 billion in capital expenditures this year—as the primary driver, arguing that cost savings must come from personnel to fund data‑center and chip investments. Critics, however, contend that “AI” is a convenient narrative masking a broader post‑pandemic over‑hiring correction, and warn that the wave of layoffs risks draining top talent, harming morale, and tarnishing the perception of AI as an opportunity rather than a threat.

Feed: All Latest | Dangerous New Linux Exploit Gives Attackers Root Access to Countless Computers by Dan Goodin, Ars Technica AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A newly disclosed Linux kernel vulnerability, dubbed CopyFail (CVE‑2026‑31431), enables a local privilege‑escalation that lets an unprivileged attacker obtain root on virtually any Linux distribution with a single, unmodified script. Released by security firm Theori after a brief private disclosure, the flaw resides in the kernel’s crypto API where an AEAD template copy operation overwrites adjacent memory, allowing the attacker to elevate privileges, break out of containers, compromise multi‑tenant systems, and hijack CI/CD pipelines. Although patches were quickly issued for several kernel versions (7.0, 6.19.12, 6.18.12, 6.12.85, 6.6.137, 6.1.170, 5.15.204, and 5.10.254), many distributions had not yet applied them, leaving countless desktops, servers, and cloud environments exposed. Experts warn that the exploit’s reliability surpasses earlier high‑profile kernel bugs like Dirty Pipe and Dirty Cow, and they urge all Linux users to verify that their systems incorporate the relevant fixes or follow vendor mitigation guidance.

Amazon's Rufus AI now offers a full year of price history, a feature Amazon touts as a major step for shopper transparency. However, our analysis reveals this "AI" is more marketing than magic, and it still falls short compared to the deep, independent data provided by third-party trackers like Keepa and CamelCamelCamel. This strategic move aims to consolidate Amazon's data advantage, potentially leading to a… https://www.tpp.blog/2mb3q71 #AI #amazon #rufus 🤖 This post was AI-generated.

US Top News and Analysis | The market isn't grading all Big Tech earnings the same — here's why AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. In a recent CNBC Investing Club check‑in, Paulina Likos and Zev Fima examined why the market is treating big‑tech earnings unevenly after a wave of reports underscoring strong demand for artificial‑intelligence infrastructure. While hyperscalers such as Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta Platforms and Amazon posted solid results and continued to pour money into AI‑related spending despite rising hardware costs, investors are beginning to separate companies that can monetize AI today from those that have yet to prove a payoff. The hosts argue that as long as AI investment translates into higher revenue and profit growth, scrutiny eases, but the growing divide will influence which stocks lead the next leg of the AI trade. The discussion also highlighted where the biggest opportunities may lie—cloud services, advertising and internal efficiency gains—and how a firm’s ability to deploy AI across its own operations could give it a competitive edge.

Al Jazeera – Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera | May Day in the age of AI: The new war on workers AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. On May 1, Al Jazeera columnist Belén Fernández warns that the historic fight for workers’ rights celebrated on International Workers’ Day is now being challenged by artificial intelligence, which threatens to replace human labor with “AI employees.” She cites recent massive layoffs at Amazon, plans to automate half a million jobs, and aggressive AI‑focused advertising in Silicon Valley that promotes replacing humans with machines, exemplified by the provocative campaign of San Francisco start‑up Artisan. Fernández argues that AI amplifies already‑precarious, corporate‑driven exploitation—fuelled by a billionaire class that prefers technology to unionised workers—and raises broader ethical, bias, misinformation and environmental risks. While U.S. officials, including the Trump administration, tout AI as a national‑security and economic priority, the author contends that a post‑human workplace leaves no room for genuine human flourishing, insisting that workers must resist the encroachment of AI and protect the right to work.

US Top News and Analysis | Google cloud growth tops Microsoft and Amazon as all three beat estimates on AI demand AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. In the first quarter, the three leading cloud providers all surpassed analyst expectations, with Google posting the most striking growth—its cloud revenue jumped 63% to $20.03 billion, the fastest expansion since the segment was separated in 2020. Amazon Web Services saw a 28% increase to $37.6 billion, while Microsoft’s Azure and other cloud services rose 40%, beating estimates. The surge is driven by soaring demand for artificial‑intelligence models and services, as Google pushes its Gemini AI and tensor‑processing units, Amazon expands its Bedrock AI platform, and Microsoft reports a doubling of customers using Anthropic and OpenAI models. Together, the trio expects to spend nearly $600 billion on capital expenditures this year, even as smaller “neocloud” players capture about 5% of the market.

US Top News and Analysis | Jim Cramer's top 10 things to watch in the stock market Thursday AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. On Thursday, April 30 2026, Jim Cramer highlighted ten market catalysts: Alphabet topped earnings with strong AI‑driven growth in search, subscriptions and cloud, prompting a price‑target hike to $400; Amazon followed, boosting AWS to 28% growth and maintaining a $200 billion capex plan, lifting its target to $300; Microsoft saw 40% cloud growth and Copilot expansion, keeping its $500 target despite a slight stock dip; Meta’s lack of a cloud business hurt sentiment, leading to an 8.5% share decline and a reduced target of $750; broader market forces—robust earnings, lower oil, and bond yields—should support a higher S&P 500 opening; Eli Lilly smashed forecasts with a 49% U.S. volume surge, sending its stock up over 6%; Cardinal Health delivered modest earnings improvement but fell 1%; AI start‑up Anthropic is in talks for a $900 billion valuation; Qualcomm’s data‑center chip launch for a “large hyperscaler” spurred a >10% rally; and Intel, riding soaring demand for AI chips, hit an all‑time high with shares jumping nearly 24% after blockbuster earnings.

US Top News and Analysis | Amazon posted a blowout quarter. Why the Street says this is only the start of the stock's strong run AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Amazon.com reported a strong first‑quarter earnings beat, posting $181.52 billion in revenue—above the $177.3 billion forecast—and earnings of $2.78 per share versus the $1.64 consensus estimate.

Although the stock initially rose more than 4% before retracing, analysts were upbeat: Barclays raised its target to $330, Citi to $285, Morgan Stanley to $330, Bernstein to $315, BofA to $310, Mizuho to $325, and Canaccord to $330, citing AWS’s AI‑driven growth, a robust retail business, expanding margins, and a strong backlog that position Amazon as a leading AI and e‑commerce player.
