SoftBank가 ‘Mimamori GPS’의 일상 위치 데이터를 중국과 공유하지 않는다고 공식 입장을 내며, SNS상 루머에 대응했다. 개발자 관점의 직접적 기술 소식은 아니지만, 대형 플랫폼/인프라 기업의 데이터 프라이버시 이슈로 주목할 만하다.

#SoftBank should use Off-shore 🌊 Solar 🌞 Energy!

Deploy barges with solar panels in the Ocean, in international waters.

These solar farms can be moved according to weather conditions.

They charge batteries which are brought ashore periodically.

A minimal crew is needed for maintenance of these solar farms, and to haul batteries back and forth.

This is a very efficient source of clean energy.

US Top News and Analysis | SoftBank posts $46 billion gain at Vision Fund driven mainly by massive OpenAI bet

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

SoftBank reported a $46 billion annual gain for its Vision Fund, driven almost entirely by the surging value of its investment in OpenAI, where the Japanese conglomerate has put in more than $30 billion and saw $45 billion of that year’s gains. While the fund posted roughly $20 billion of profit in the three months ending March, losses on other bets such as Coupang, DiDi Global and Klarna offset those gains. SoftBank is positioning itself at the heart of the AI boom, committing over $60 billion to OpenAI—about a 13 % stake—and co‑leading a March funding round that valued the company at $852 billion. However, the heavy concentration of OpenAI in its portfolio has sparked concerns about SoftBank’s debt load, prompting S&P Global to downgrade its outlook to negative and suggesting the firm may need to sell assets, a strategy already seen in its divestments of stakes in T‑Mobile and Nvidia.
