Welcome to globalGlob(**/*) Presents: Log Level Debug a show about news, and stuff, and things, in the technology world Recorded live, May 4th, 2026 Your host, I am. The news, from this last week, we have. All of it, here you go. Today is Star Wars day. *Sees image looks off camera* Toys? We still don't know what images we can use huh? *Pause* Okay. At least the toys have laser swords. Happy Star Wars day everyone. *tosses paper* This week Microsoft and OpenAI published an update to their partnership agreement. OpenAI models will no longer be exclusive to Microsoft, and OpenAI can now sell on other clouds *cough* AWS *cough*. And there was also something about OpenAI paying Microsoft but not vice versa. You know, business stuff. Deals. Contracts. Spreadsheets. Etc. This update made no mention of the AGI terms that used to be in their deal. Huh, kinda, seems like everyone gave up on that. *tosses paper* Moving on.  Or not! Because of the thing we just talked about. AWS announced this week it will be a reseller of OpenAI products. Starting with a new service called: Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents, powered by OpenAI. I guess they licensed Microsoft's naming strategy too. Moving on. ...Not moving on?.. *looks away* Come on, this is a 5 minute show. We can't talk about 2 companies this entire time. Sorry. I guess we'll keep talking about OpenAI. Rumors swirled this week about OpenAI making a phone. The company didn't divulge any information, but one source said Quote: With practically unlimited investor funding, we're throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Chat bots that you talk to, chat bots that make pictures, chat bots that make videos, chat bots that talk to other chat bots. There was a chat bot you could have sex with, but that was cancelled. ...and now phones. Which, might also get cancelled. You never know. At a bare minimum, you won't be able to have sex with the phone. Not in version 1 at least. ...And that's the kind of innovation you get from OpenAI: End Quote Okay, that's enough rumor talk. *tosses paper* Moving on. Finally. Kinda. A GitHub blog post this week detailed just how much the usage of GitHub has exploded in the past year. In October 2025 they planned to increase capacity by 10x, but realized they instead need to increase it 30x. They showed charts and everything...like this one... That's a ton of growth To reduce capacity issues they announced they're...they're doing stuff. Engineering stuff. Listen...I'm not going to read it all off to you. Go read the blog post for details. Link in the summary. *tosses paper* Amazon says they will hire 11,000 software developers This comes after laying off over 30,000 in the past year. When asked why Amazon will be hiring so many developers after all the laying offs, AWS CEO Matt Garman said Quote: That's just what landed on the dartboard. But honestly, it's feeling very lonely in the office and no one wants to join the company baseball league: End Quote The global glob has a story with more details Find the link in the show notes, or use the QR code on the screen right now *tosses paper* And finally, because it's a week that ends in...k. Sorry, the phrase is day that ends in y, but I just...nevermind. *dejected* There's another supply chain campaign affecting certain NPM packages The campaign calls itself 'Mini Shai-Hulud' and affects certain SAP-related NPM packages to harvest any credentials it can get its hands on. So go update your NPM packages. Or don't if the updates still have the worm. Uhh, oh boy. Do...the secure thing. You know what that is. Totally. I believe in you. And that's all the news that happened this week. If we didn't talk about it, it's not in the logs. Join Log Level Debug next week when we'll talk about everything that happened between now and then.
