2026-01-27 | OpenAI’s Science Push, Pinterest AI Layoffs, TikTok Data Center Failure

Описание: 📅 2026-01-27
Today on BD Daily Tech News Podcast, we break down three big tech stories shaping how you build, browse, and stay online: OpenAI’s “big play for science,” Pinterest cutting staff to redirect resources into AI, and TikTok still working through a “cascading systems failure” after a data-center power outage. We translate the headlines into plain-English tech, then turn them into practical takeaways—how to evaluate AI tools at work, what “AI reallocation” really means for teams and careers, and what outages teach us about resilience (and why your favorite app can still go sideways even with massive infrastructure).

Daily Tech News Highlights:
OpenAI is explicitly targeting scientific workflows—what that likely means for labs, startups, and everyday knowledge work.
Pinterest plans layoffs of “less than 15%” to prioritize AI-powered products—how to read this pattern across the industry.
TikTok reports a data-center power outage led to a “cascading systems failure”—a simple explanation of failure domains and why recovery takes time.
Actionable playbook: how to pressure-test AI features, protect your data habits, and build outage-proof routines.
