Multi-cloud cost management: Methods and tools that tame costs
Combining strong FinOps practices and modern cost intelligence platforms can help you control spending across Azure, AWS, and GCP simultaneously.n today’s digital landscape, the "one-cloud-fits-all" era is not a reality. Most enterprises now operate across multiple clouds including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to avoid vendor lock-in and leverage specific best-of-breed services. However, multi-cloud brings a massive challenge: unpredictable costs. When your infrastructure is scattered across three different billing consoles, each with its own terminology and pricing models, managing all of this becomes hard to get a handle on.

To solve this, organizations are turning to the discipline of FinOps and cost management tooling. In this blog post we will explore topics and tooling that can you help you get a handle on billing across multiple clouds. Here are the topics I am going to touch on:

What FinOps is and why it matters
How FinOps teams are structured
The challenges of multi-cloud cost management
How various cost management platforms help organizations manage cost across Azure, AWS, and GCP

Canadians Are Working Harder but Not Getting Ahead — and Productivity Is to BlameCanadians feel it even if they can’t quite name it. Paycheques don’t stretch as far. Businesses are working harder for thinner margins. Governments are being forced into tougher choices. This isn’t just inflation or a bad year — it is something deeper. The diagnosis is in, and it is productivity. Productivity is not an academic abstraction. It is the foundation of living standards. When productivity stalls, we work more to produce the same output. This is not a simple math problem. It is a prosperity problem.

I have spent much of my career working with data to understand how economies evolve, and the data show a clear disconnect between effort and outcomes.

Canada’s productivity challenge is neither new nor cyclical. Statistics Canada data show that business-sector labour productivity has been largely flat in recent years, while the gap with the United States has widened. Output per hour worked in Canada now sits at roughly 70 to 75 per cent of U.S. levels, a decline from where we stood shoulder to shoulder as recently as the turn of the millennium.

The weakness runs deeper than labour alone. Capital investment has lagged, particularly in machinery, equipment and intellectual property. Total factor productivity — the efficiency with which labour and capital are combined — has been sluggish. And business investment in research and development remains well below OECD peers, and certainly out of proportion with the size of our economy. Looking ahead, the outlook is even more concerning. Some long-term projections suggest Canada could face the weakest productivity growth among advanced economies over the next three decades. This is not a blip. It is structural and it won’t fix itself.

Elon Musk’s Confidante Is Cast as His Inside Source at OpenAI
Shivon Zilis worked closely with Elon Musk while she was on OpenAI’s board. Her ties to the world’s richest man were detailed in a landmark trial on Wednesday.

1d agoBy Cade Metz and Mike Isaac
After Microsoft invested $10 billion in OpenAI in early 2023, Elon Musk said in a social media post that OpenAI was “effectively controlled” by the tech giant.

Shivon Zilis, a confidante of Mr. Musk who had spent years working for his companies and had approved the Microsoft deal as a member of OpenAI’s board of directors, disagreed.

“You are naïve,” he told her.

Ms. Zilis, who is also the mother of four of Mr. Musk’s children, described her private conversation with the world’s richest man during testimony on Wednesday in a blockbuster trial in an Oakland, Calif., federal court that pits Mr. Musk against OpenAI and its chief executive, Sam Altman.

Mr. Musk sued OpenAI two years ago, accusing the artificial intelligence company of breaching its founding contract by putting commercial gain over the public good. He founded OpenAI as a nonprofit in 2015 with Mr. Altman and a group of A.I.

Protecting an Open Internet
How can we encourage the protection of an open internet?An open internet is critical to functioning, free societies. As governments around the world turn their attention to issues of internet governance — including efforts to tackle disinformation and protect user data — the risk of fragmented internet experiences increases. Some policies deliberately create fragmentation, and some policies result in fragmentation as an unintended consequence.

Policy deliberation: It is important that policy frameworks address the distinctions among different forms of fragmentation, the (limited) scenarios in which content fragmentation is justified and how to minimize the impact of fragmentation. To discourage fragmentation, internet regulation can focus on a number of intermediate goals, such as:

Distributing power outside of governments and governmental organizations
Discouraging corporate consolidation
Promoting individual rights, especially regarding encrypted and personal data
Promoting open and transparent standards that don’t lock people or publishers into specific platforms
Regulations should also account for the global nature of the internet, particularly when it comes to the rights of journalists — and the public — to communicate and share information within and across borders.

Journalistic concerns: Internet blocks and shutdowns make it challenging for news providers to both report and distribute their work. They also limit the public’s ability to access a range of information above and beyond what their government selects. An open internet is particularly important for people to access online-only and online-first media. In some cases, independent media can help raise awareness about internet censorship and technical issues that threaten an open internet.
Governance: Tech stakeholders can help protect a free and open internet by incorporating encryption into their products by default, participating in multistakeholder governance processes and supporting interoperable standards. Interoperability means that devices, platforms and applications made by different companies can work together, which in turn gives end-users more choice.

Musk says OpenAI owes its takeoff to his connectionsOAKLAND: Elon Musk testified for more than seven hours over three days this week at a trial in Oakland, California, over the future of OpenAI, casting his lawsuit against the owner of ChatGPT as a defence of the institution of charitable giving.

Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX as well as the world’s richest person, is also suing OpenAI’s Chief Executive Sam Altman and its President Greg Brockman, saying they betrayed him and the public by abandoning the mission to be a benevolent steward of AI for humanity.

The word “charity” doesn’t appear once in the 2015 blog post announcing the formation of OpenAI as a non-profit artificial intelligence research company. But Musk repeatedly described OpenAI as a charity and testified that Altman and Brockman reneged on an initial promise to keep the non-profit model.

“It was specifically meant to be for a charity that does not benefit any individual person. I could’ve started it as a for-profit and I specifically chose not to,” Musk testified.

Artificial Intelligence in Journalism
How do we enable the benefits and manage the harms of artificial intelligence in journalism?CNTI’S Assessment
The impact of AI is massive and widespread, and the landscape is changing rapidly. We are already seeing impacts for news reporting, circulation and consumption. Taking advantage of the benefits while limiting the harms will require a careful balancing act in our deeply complex information environment. For newsrooms, the use of generative AI tools offers benefits for productivity and innovation. At the same time, it risks inaccuracies, ethical issues and undermining public trust.

Policy deliberation: Legislation will need to offer clear and consistent definitions of AI categories, grapple with the repercussions of AI-generated content for copyright and civil liberties and offer accountability for violations. The Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA)’s failure to pass in Canada also suggests that deliberations will need to include avenues for meaningful public participation.

Public understanding: As newsrooms implement AI, they need to remember that while communicating about how they are using AI is important, transparency alone is not enough. The public largely lacks a nuanced understanding of journalistic practices and they need that context to make sense of AI. That means transparency initiatives must be broader than initially conceived and include information about human journalists’ work.

Microsoft Is All-In on Agentic AI and Vibe Coding Now That It's 'Working'
Charging for AI usage is becoming more important than charging for access.During Microsoft's latest earnings call on Wednesday, CEO Satya Nadella perhaps unintentionally summed up the current state of the company's massive agentic AI push.

AI Atlas
"It sort of didn't work until it started working," Nadella said, referencing the Agent Mode feature in Microsoft Excel, "and that's just because the model showed up."

Agent Mode, a feature that uses AI to create and edit Excel workbooks in tandem with your actions, is now the default mode for Microsoft 365 Copilot and Premium subscribers in Excel, Word and PowerPoint as of last week. He said Microsoft's investments in its AI infrastructure gave the company the usage capacity to implement the model that worked.

Why AI companies want you to be afraid of them.
They built it. They're scared of it. They're selling it anyway.

Stop me if you've heard this one before: a tech company says it's built a new AI that's so powerful it's scary. Apparently, it's too dangerous to release into the world – the consequences would be catastrophic. Luckily for us, they are keeping it locked up for now. They just wanted you to know.

That's exactly what AI company Anthropic is telling us about its latest model, Claude Mythos. The company says Mythos' ability to find cybersecurity bugs far surpasses human experts, and it could have world-altering consequences if similar technology lands in the wrong hands. "The fallout – for economies, public safety and national security – could be severe," Anthropic said in an early April blog post. Some breathless observers warned that Mythos will soon force you to replace every piece of technology in your life, down to your WiFi-enabled microwave, to protect from the digital madness.

Some security experts doubt these claims, but let's set that aside. This isn't new. Executives at leading AI providers regularly issue warnings about how their industry's products may destroy humanity. Why do AI companies want us to be afraid of them?

It's a strange way for any company to talk about its own work. You don't hear McDonald's announcing that it's created a burger so terrifyingly delicious that it would be unethical to grill it for the public.

Meta Is Preparing to Have to Undo Its Manus Acquisition After China Ban
The ban sends a message that China is intent on keeping its AI knowledge within the country.Meta Platforms META 0.53%increase; green up pointing triangle is preparing to have to unwind its acquisition of the artificial-intelligence startup Manus after China banned the transaction on national-security grounds Monday, according to people familiar with the matter.

Meta bought Manus, a China-linked, Singapore-based startup that specializes in building AI agents, in December for $2.5 billion, and quickly moved to integrate the new technology into its systems. Any attempt to undo the acquisition would mean disentangling the two.

Meta’s compute grab continues with agreement to deploy tens of millions of AWS Graviton coresThe company is assembling a multi-architecture stack spanning AWS, Nvidia, AMD, Arm, and its own silicon. In the agentic era, no single chip wins, so it’s betting on all of them.
Meta is continuing its compute grab as the agentic AI race accelerates to a sprint.

Today, the company announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) that will bring “tens of millions” of AWS Graviton5 cores (one chip contains 192 cores) into its compute portfolio, with the option to expand as its AI capabilities grow. This will make the Llama builder one of the largest Graviton customers in the world.

The move builds on Meta’s expansive partnerships with nearly every chip and compute provider in the business. It’s working with Nvidia, Arm, and AMD, as well as building its own internal training and inference accelerator chip.

“It feels very difficult to keep track of what Meta is doing, with all of these chip deals and announcements around in-house development,” said Matt Kimball, VP and principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. This makes for “exciting times that tell us just how incredibly valuable silicon is right now.”
