Les services en ligne comptant plus de 45 millions d’utilisateurs dans l’UE sont soumis à ce régime plus strict, qui concerne désormais 28 plateformes et moteurs de recherche. La classification éventuelle de ChatGPT fait l’objet d’une attention particulière depuis que la société a annoncé l’année dernière compter 120 millions d’utilisateurs. Mais l’exécutif européen a eu du mal à déterminer si l’outil d’OpenAI relevait de la catégorie des moteurs de recherche ou de celle des plateformes. Ce chatbot très populaire, considéré comme l’un des précurseurs de la révolution actuelle de l’intelligence artificielle, fait déjà l’objet d’une réglementation stricte à Bruxelles en…

Four years ago, after Joe Biden fell from a bike, Donald Trump made a pledge to the American people.“I will never, ever ride a bicycle,” he declared.The joke landed because Mr. Trump is known to be more of a limo-and-golf-cart sort of guy. But more recently, his administration has begun acting on its deep aversion to cycling, revoking federal grants for what it calls “D.E.I. bike lanes.” In a high-profile move earlier this year, the administration even tried to remove a bike lane near the White House.Sean Duffy, Mr. Trump’s transportation secretary, has argued that when bike lanes cut into…

The meeting note-taker market is a crowded space. Just in the last few weeks, dictation app Wispr launched its own note-taker and scheduling app, and Calendly added a similar tool to its stack. Dedicated meeting note-takers like Granola, Read AI, and Fireflies have raised millions of dollars in funding. Likely in reaction to the intensifying competition, Y Combinator-backed Circleback is introducing a free subscription tier to allow users to get a taste of its product. The new plan lets users transcribe an unlimited number of meetings though they can only access their history for the last 30 days (Granola added…

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has begun a three-month journey covering roughly one million miles as it travels toward its final orbit. The observatory lifted off at 7:26 a.m. EDT Sunday aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Once operational, Roman will combine sharp infrared vision with an unusually wide view of the sky. That combination will allow astronomers to examine enormous regions of space while also looking far back into cosmic history. Among its primary goals are studying dark matter, dark energy, and worlds outside of our solar…

PHILADELPHIA—A simmering debate over the future of Philadelphia’s Bellwether District has been reenergized by a Planning Commission presentation last month that identified the industrial zone as one of only two sites in the city capable of hosting a large data center. Neither the commission nor the site’s owner, HRP Group, report any such proposals to date.  HRP acquired the 1,300-acre tract after a catastrophic 2019 fire forced the previous owner of a massive refinery on the site, once the oldest and largest on the East Coast, to stop operations and into bankruptcy. HRP then worked with the Environmental Protection Agency…

Nowhere was the confidence of the prime minister, Andy Burnham, shown as clearly as in his appointment of chancellor. There were weeks of speculation that this appointment was a choice between the energy secretary, Ed Miliband, and the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, with their contrasting political economies.It has been a hallmark of Burnham’s politics that he and his team do not get involved in briefing wars, so it was only when former defence secretary John Healey appeared in Downing Street together with Mahmood that it was clear that the prime minister had cut the Gordian knot, reassuring the markets with…

Claim: During a weather broadcast, meteorologist John Morales said of his ability to predict hurricanes in Florida, “I am not sure I can do that this year because of the cuts, the gutting, the sledgehammer attack on science in general.” Rating: Context Morales said these words in June 2025, not in the summer of 2026, as some posts implied. Snopes reached out to him, asking if he felt the same way a year on, and awaits a response. In August 2026, a rumor spread that Florida weatherman John Morales, of NBC 6 South Florida, had gone off-script during a weather…
