forklog.media China Halts Meta’s $2 Billion Acquisition of Manus

China has mandated Meta to terminate its $2 billion acquisition of Manus, citing regulations concerning foreign investments. This was reported by Bloomberg. In December 2025, it was revealed that Meta had agreed to purchase the startup Manus. The company develops autonomous general-purpose AI agents capable of independently performing complex tasks such as market research, coding, and data analysis. The technology acts as a bridge, transforming the capabilities of language models into concrete workflows. The deal sparked discontent from both Beijing and Washington. The United States is keen to limit funding for Chinese firms involved in artificial intelligence. China did not disclose details of the agreement's cancellation. It is likely related to concerns over the leakage of valuable technologies to a geopolitical rival. The founders of Manus began their operations in China but relocated their headquarters and key staff to Singapore in 2025. "The Manus case was a turning point. Beijing made it clear that the location of the legal entity is not the main concern," noted Ke Yan, a technical analyst at Singapore's DZT Research. Other Partnerships Meanwhile, Meta announced two new agreements aimed at ensuring reliable energy supply necessary for AI infrastructure and data centers. The company has partnered with Overview Energy to provide Earth with up to 1 GW of space-based solar power. It plans to enhance the productivity of existing power plants by producing energy around the clock. "Overview Energy's satellites, positioned in geostationary orbit where sunlight is constant, collect energy in space and transmit it to ground-based power stations as low-intensity near-infrared light," the announcement stated. Meta is also collaborating with Noon Energy to deploy long-duration energy storage systems. This will ensure data centers are supplied with "clean and reliable energy" around the clock. "Noon Energy uses modular reversible solid oxide fuel cells and carbon-based storage, providing over 100 hours of energy storage," the corporation emphasized. In November, Meta began trading electricity to accelerate the construction of new plants in the United States.

forklog.media Ethereum Network Activity Reaches New Heights

Ethereum has recorded an unprecedented divergence between the market price of the asset and the network's fundamental indicators. This was highlighted by CryptoQuant expert known as CryptoOnchain. Bullish Divergence in Ethereum: Active Addresses Hit Record Highs Amid Price Decline“From an on-chain analysis perspective, this glaring divergence implies that Ethereum may currently be undervalued.” – By @CryptoOnchain pic.twitter.com/qm7VQKQuWh— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) April 27, 2026 While the price of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is declining, the number of active addresses on the blockchain is increasing. The 100-day moving average of this metric has reached a historic high of 587,000. Historically, an increase in active addresses has correlated with a rise in the asset's price. The current situation is a rare exception to this pattern. According to CryptoOnchain, the influx of new users and the blockchain's demand indicate that Ethereum is undervalued. The actual use of the network is accelerating despite the pessimistic market sentiment. The analyst considers this a "hidden bullish signal." In the medium term, the asset's price may return to growth following positive fundamental data. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,320, having lost 0.5% over the past day.

forklog.media Altman Outlines Five OpenAI Principles for Achieving ‘Universal AI Benefit’

OpenAI aims to place truly universal artificial intelligence in the hands of as many people as possible to decentralize power, stated the company's head, Sam Altman. Our Principles:Democratization, Empowerment, Universal Prosperity, Resilience, and Adaptabilityhttps://t.co/g58WGndARw— Sam Altman (@sama) April 26, 2026 According to him, AI can significantly enhance many aspects of societal life. This technology will expand people's capabilities and freedom more than steam engines or electricity did in their time. "We envision a world where prosperity reaches levels that are currently hard to imagine. In it, individual potential, freedom of action, and self-realization will significantly increase," he stated. Many things from science fiction will become reality, although such an outcome is not guaranteed, Altman emphasized. Power in the future could end up in the hands of a small group of companies controlling superintelligence. "Our mission is to ensure that AGI benefits all of humanity," noted the entrepreneur. He outlined the principles guiding OpenAI. Democratization The company will oppose the technology contributing to the concentration of power in the hands of a few. "This means that in addition to providing everyone with access to AI, we must ensure that key decisions regarding the technology are made within democratic processes and based on principles of equality, not just in neural network development labs," Altman stated. Empowerment The developer of ChatGPT believes that AI can enable everyone to achieve their goals, learn more, be happier, feel more fulfilled, and pursue dreams, while the community as a whole will benefit from the technology's development. "To achieve this goal, people must be empowered to explore vast potential and create the necessary products," reads the message from the head of OpenAI. He added that the company is responsible for minimizing the negative aspects of AI integration. These include both catastrophic and minimal harm. Universal Prosperity The startup strives for a future where everyone "can live a full life." It is convinced that if everyone is given access to simple AI systems with high computational power, people will find new ways to create value and significantly improve the quality of life for all. This is especially true for scientific discoveries. For universal prosperity, it is necessary that: governments consider new economic models to ensure everyone's participation in value creation; new vast amounts of AI infrastructure are created and technologies are developed to reduce the costs of their construction. Resilience AI will bring new risks, so OpenAI is ready to collaborate with other companies, ecosystems, governments, and society to eliminate them. "No single lab can ensure a prosperous future on its own," stated Altman. As an example, he cited a situation where extremely powerful models simplify the creation of new pathogens. In such a case, humanity needs to take countermeasures. Another example is the growing capabilities of neural networks in cybersecurity. It requires the application of AI to ensure the security of open-source software and critical infrastructure. "Society must cope with each subsequent level of artificial intelligence capabilities, understand it, integrate it, and collectively find the best way forward. This cannot be done in a vacuum," noted Altman. Adaptability According to OpenAI, the only way to deal with the challenges of an extremely unpredictable future is to be ready to adjust positions as new information becomes available. "We recognize that the company plays a much more significant role in the world today than a few years ago, and we intend to openly communicate changes in our operating principles," reads the statement from the head of the firm. He added that OpenAI is willing to sacrifice some empowerment for greater resilience. Earlier, journalists from the New Yorker conducted an extensive 18-month investigation into Sam Altman's activities and concluded that he often lied in his role as CEO of OpenAI.
