Tech Across the Globe

OpenAI’s new CEO: Sam Altman announced a new OpenAI applications CEO, Instacart’s Fidji Simo, to steer operations and report to him. It’s a fundamental reorganization, where Altman will retain his position but focus his energies on research, safety and procuring more computation power on the path to AGI.

App security: Three US departments prohibited their employees from accessing TeleMessage — an archiving app that former National Security Adviser Michael Waltz used while communicating with other members of the Trump administration — after determining they weren’t secure enough.

Nintendo’s profit forecast and March-quarter results were also far south of market expectations.
