Intellistake Scales Enterprise AI with Dedicated, Sovereign AI Data-Center Partnership with Singularity Compute

Published

on

Key Highlights:

Intellistake has entered into a strategic partnership services agreement with Singularity Compute, the independent AI infrastructure arm of SingularityNET, for dedicated, ultra-high-performance physical sovereign AI compute capacity, significantly expanding the infrastructure supporting the Company’s growing line of innovative AI solutions.

Hosted in Sweden by a Swiss-incorporated provider, providing European data sovereignty outside the jurisdictional reach of the U.S. CLOUD Act, and powered by 100% renewable energy.

The engagement is intended to support the development, deployment and continued expansion of Intellistake’s enterprise AI products and services.

SingularityNET is a leading organization in artificial general intelligence (“AGI”) research and a founding member of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (“ASI”), the network on which Intellistake also operates validator infrastructure.

Existing leadership alignment includes Singularity Compute CEO Joe Honan on Intellistake’s Advisory Board, and Dr. Ben Goertzel, founder of SingularityNET and widely recognized as the father of AGI, as Special Advisor to Intellistake’s CEO.

VANCOUVER, BC, April 29, 2026 /CNW/ – Intellistake Technologies Corp. (CSE: ISTK) (OTCQB: ISTKF) (FSE: E41) (“Intellistake” or the “Company”), today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership services agreement (the “Agreement”) dated May 28, 2026 with Singularity Compute for dedicated, ultra-high-performance sovereign AI compute capacity, significantly expanding the infrastructure underpinning the Company’s growing line of innovative AI solutions.

Singularity Compute is the independent, for-profit AI infrastructure arm of SingularityNET, one of the most established organizations in AGI research and a founding member of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, a global alliance of AI organizations focused on the development of beneficial AGI. The platform is built and operated by the experts behind SingularityNET, bringing technical depth in AI infrastructure that long predates the current AI cycle. Intellistake already operates validator infrastructure on the ASI / FET network.

Under the Agreement, Intellistake has secured physical ultra-high-performance sovereign AI compute resources, reserved exclusively for the Company’s use, significantly expanding dedicated infrastructure available to support its growing line of innovative AI solutions. The Agreement is structured as a service order under a Master Services Agreement, with an initial term of twelve (12) months.

Why Singularity Compute

Singularity Compute is purpose-built for AI workloads, rather than a general-purpose cloud retrofitted for them. Its full-stack platform unifies enterprise-grade GPU cloud, AI model inference and AI cloud services into a single integrated offering, running on a dedicated NVIDIA GPU cluster engineered for AI from the ground up. A key differentiator is its use of neuro-symbolic reasoning, which combines neural networks with structured knowledge systems and is designed to improve the accuracy and traceability of AI outputs in environments where reliability is critical, such as finance, healthcare and enterprise operations.

Dedicated infrastructure, as opposed to shared cloud capacity, is designed to provide the predictable performance and throughput that enterprise AI workloads require.

The infrastructure also offers two characteristics that are increasingly relevant for enterprise AI buyers:

The first is European data sovereignty: the compute is hosted in Sweden and operated by a Swiss-incorporated provider, placing both the data and the operating entity outside the jurisdictional reach of the U.S. CLOUD Act and within the European data protection framework.The second is sustainability: the Swedish data center operates on 100% renewable energy, supporting the environmental and disclosure standards that institutional customers and investors increasingly expect.

The Agreement is also intended to ensure Intellistake has the dedicated capacity required to support its expanding enterprise AI activities as the Company continues to develop and deploy products and services for enterprise customers.

The Agreement deepens established alignment between the two organizations. Singularity Compute CEO Joe Honan serves on Intellistake’s Advisory Board, and Dr. Ben Goertzel, founder of SingularityNET and widely recognized as the father of AGI,1 acts as Special Advisor to Intellistake’s CEO.

Jason Dussault, Chief Executive Officer of Intellistake, commented:

“I believe there is a clear move towards decentralization, and this milestone sits within that broader shift in how AI infrastructure is being built and deployed. At its core, decentralization gives users more control over their data and assets, rather than relying on centralized systems where risk is concentrated and intermediaries sit between the user and the underlying infrastructure.

For the enterprise solutions we are developing, our clients rely on highly sensitive datasets that have often been built over many years. In centralized environments, that concentration of information increases risk. Having access to sovereign, dedicated infrastructure allows us to introduce an additional layer of protection around that data, which is becoming increasingly important as these systems move into real world use.

Singularity Compute brings together purpose-built AI infrastructure, sovereign data positioning and a team of experts with deep experience in this space. As we continue to scale our enterprise AI capabilities, access to reliable, dedicated compute is a key part of that process, and this agreement is an important step forward for us.”

Joe Honan, CEO of Singularity Compute commented:

“Singularity Compute was built to serve serious enterprise AI workloads. Our infrastructure is purpose-built, sovereign and sustainable. We are thrilled to welcome Intellistake as a customer and strategic partner building next-generation enterprise AI solutions. Their commitment to building AI products on dedicated, sovereign infrastructure aligns directly with what our platform is designed to deliver, and we look forward to supporting the next phase of their growth.”

IMDA and Tencent Debut “Beyond the Screen” to Champion Real-World Connection through Digital Play

Published

on

By

The launch is marked by the signing of an agreement between IMDA and Tencent to advance healthy digital habits and safe, responsible use of digital technologies among youths, parents, and families.

SINGAPORE, May 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and Tencent today jointly launched “Beyond the Screen: Healthy Digital Play”, a new digital wellbeing campaign that encourages healthy digital habits by bringing families into the conversation and strengthening real-world connection through healthy gameplay.

The campaign encourages families to bridge the gap between play and purpose through gaming. It showcases how digital play can foster deeper understanding, facilitate balanced routines, and build stronger connections at home.

“Digital spaces are already a natural part of how young people learn, play, and connect today,” said Mr Murphy Zhao, Country Manager of Tencent Singapore and Head of Tech Group, Tencent Games. “As a company with deep expertise across digital entertainment and communications, we want to play a constructive role by helping families build meaningful digital habits that extend beyond the screen.”

Advancing Family Digital Wellness In Partnership with IMDA

As part of the launch, IMDA and Tencent also signed an agreement to strengthen collaboration on initiatives in digital wellbeing. The agreement was signed by Ms Joanna Lam, Cluster Director for Digital Readiness, IMDA, and Mr Murphy Zhao, Country Manager of Tencent Singapore and Head of Tech Group, Tencent Games. The collaboration builds on Tencent’s ongoing cooperation with IMDA, in support of the national Digital for Life (DfL) movement, focusing on promoting online safety and healthy digital habits among youths, parents, and families.

Tencent will co-develop educational content with IMDA, as well as organise four community outreach activities, reaching out to an estimated 4,000 participants. The company will also commit S$ 25,000, which totals to S$ 50,000 with the government’s dollar-to-dollar matching, to the DfL Fund. The DfL Fund provides support for projects and activities promoting digital inclusion, digital literacy and digital wellness. 

“Ensuring digital wellness is increasingly important, particularly for our children who are digital natives,” said Ms Joanna Lam, Cluster Director for Digital Readiness, IMDA. “Tencent has been a DfL partner since 2022, and I thank them for their continued commitment to the DfL cause. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with Tencent to empower parents and youths with practical guidance to build healthy digital habits and navigate the digital world safely together.”

Leading the Conversation on Healthy Digital Play

The inaugural Singapore launch event was officiated by Ms Jasmin Lau, Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information, and also hosted social service organisations from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. At the event, families participated in gamified quiz experiences and took home educational materials designed to transform gaming into healthier routines at home. 

The programme also featured a parenting talk that shared practical guidance on utilising games as a bridge for conversation at home. The session highlighted how, when guided by constructive routines, gaming can support the development of soft skills such as communication, teamwork, strategic thinking, and persistence.

During the event’s expert insights session, Mr Narasimman S/O Tivasiha Mani, psychotherapist and co-founder of local youth charity Impart, said, “Healthy gaming is not built through one-off rules. It grows through rapport, shared understanding, and everyday conversations. Through a collaborative process between educators, families, and the wider community, it becomes easier to set shared expectations and support balanced habits that carry beyond the screen.”

Building a Scalable Digital Wellbeing Framework for Southeast Asia

While digital habits may look different across the region, the underlying need is the same — helping families build healthier, more confident relationships with the digital world.

“Beyond the Screen” is part of Tencent’s broader commitment to fostering intentional digital play, equipping youths, parents, and educators with practical resources to build balanced routines, encourage respectful interactions, and strengthen open communication at home.

Insights from the Singapore launch will inform the rollout of the campaign across Southeast Asia in 2026, with local adaptations to meet the needs of diverse communities in the region.

Does Your Building Have Fire Sprinklers?

Published

By

Fast Guard Service alerts real estate owners and property managers: 2026 fire code updates to NFPA 25 will significantly affect sprinkler system compliance requirements — and insurance implications could not be more serious.

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fast Guard Service, one of the nation’s leading providers of licensed fire watch and security guard services, is urging commercial and residential property owners to take immediate stock of their fire sprinkler systems as sweeping 2026 updates to NFPA 25 — the national standard governing water-based fire protection system inspection, testing, and maintenance — take effect across the country.

The timing could not be more consequential. Private insurers are exiting fire-risk markets at an accelerating pace, dropping policyholders and limiting coverage in states from California to Florida. In this environment, a sprinkler system that fails a compliance check is no longer a routine maintenance issue. It is a potential grounds for claim denial or policy cancellation.

The 2026 edition of NFPA 25 introduces several changes property owners must act on now. Fire pump failures are formally classified as system impairments requiring immediate response. Supervisory valve testing moves to a semiannual schedule. Annual internal inspections are now mandatory for all dry, preaction, and deluge valves. And where corrosion-control technology has been used to justify smaller pipe sizes, ongoing maintenance of that equipment is now a codified legal obligation — not a recommendation.

Critically, any sprinkler system impairment — whether triggered by repair, renovation, freeze damage, or a compliance-driven upgrade — legally requires a certified fire watch for the duration of the outage under NFPA 1, NFPA 101, and local fire authority mandates. This is a condition of occupancy, not an option.

“The 2026 code updates will send a wave of sprinkler systems into inspection and repair cycles,” said a spokesperson for Fast Guard Service. “Every one of those impairment windows requires a fire watch on-site. We are prepared to be there.”

Fast Guard Service deploys certified fire watch personnel 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, anywhere in the United States — typically within hours of a client’s call. Guards conduct continuous patrols, maintain documentation accepted by insurers and code enforcement authorities, and coordinate directly with fire departments when needed.

Property owners who are unsure whether their sprinkler systems meet 2026 NFPA 25 requirements are encouraged to contact Fast Guard Service for guidance.

Founded in August 2013 and headquartered in Hollywood, Florida, Fast Guard Service is a fully licensed, bonded, and insured private security company operating in all 50 states. The company specializes in armed and unarmed security guards, fire watch services, executive protection, mobile surveillance, event security, and emergency response. Fast Guard Service is trusted by Fortune 500 companies, government entities, healthcare systems, commercial developers, and private clients nationwide.

All operations are tracked through the proprietary Fast Guard App, providing clients with real-time GPS reporting, live guard location updates, and digital incident documentation.

First Online Conversations Are Changing in 2026, According to New Secretmeet Research

Published

on

By

New research from Secretmeet reveals that the classic “Hey” opener is dying out — and the way people initiate connections online in 2026 looks nothing like it did just three years ago.

GIBRALTAR, May 2, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — People are rethinking the first move. Not just what to say, but when to say it, how long to make it, and what emotional tone to lead with. Across the board, data from Secretmeet’s latest research study shows a clear shift in how online conversations begin in 2026.

The single-word opener? Largely gone. The copy-paste compliment? People spot it instantly. Secretmeet noted that what’s replacing them is more interesting — and more human.

The Death of the One-Word Opener

For years, “Hey,” “Hi,” and “Hello 👋” dominated opening messages on dating platforms. They required no effort and, accordingly, generated little response. According to data published by the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, conversational openers that include a specific reference to the recipient’s profile generate significantly higher response rates than generic greetings.

Secretmeet’s research confirms the trend is accelerating. In 2026, users who open with a question — particularly one tied to something specific in a profile — see measurably stronger engagement in the first exchange. The bar for a “good” first message has risen.

This doesn’t mean people need to write an essay. Short still works. But purposeful short beats lazy short every time.

One of the more striking findings from Secretmeet: wit is winning. Openers with a light, humorous tone — a playful observation, a self-aware joke, a clever hypothetical — are outperforming earnest, serious introductions in early conversation engagement.

The Timing Shift Nobody Expected

When people send that first message matters more than most realize. In a Secretmeet review of activity trends, data points to a notable behavioral change: users in 2026 are increasingly active during morning hours — particularly between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. — a window that was almost entirely quiet just a few years ago.

Evening hours still dominate overall volume. But morning messages show a disproportionately high response rate. The theory? People checking their phones with coffee and no agenda are more present, less distracted, and more open to genuine interaction than those scrolling at midnight.

It’s a small tactical insight with a surprisingly large emotional implication: presence matters more than timing, and mornings are when people show up fully. Secretmeet’s data makes that case clearly.

What This Means for How We Connect

The bigger picture here isn’t about tactics. It’s about expectations. People arriving at online dating platforms in 2026 want something more immediate and more genuine than they did in 2020. The pandemic years accelerated a kind of emotional directness online — and that hasn’t reversed.

People want to feel seen in a first message. They want to laugh. They want a reason to respond. A Secretmeet review of first-message engagement data suggests that users are increasingly capable of signaling — and detecting — authentic intent right from the very first line.

The opening message has always mattered. What’s changed is how clearly people understand that now.

About Secretmeet

Secretmeet is an online dating platform built around one straightforward idea: conversations should feel good. Not stressful, not performative — genuinely enjoyable. The platform is designed for people who want warmth, a little wit, and the kind of back-and-forth that actually goes somewhere. Whether you’re looking for something serious or just a spark of something new, Secretmeet reviews its features continuously to ensure that the first message has a real chance of turning into something worth remembering.
