What if a startup with no product and only ten employees could secure $1 billion in funding? Join us as we unpack the jaw-dropping story of SSI, a safety-focused AI startup co-founded by Ilya Sutzgever, which has achieved a staggering $5 billion valuation. We dissect the implications of this massive investment and scrutinize the potential conflicts of interest involving SSI's CEO. Despite a bout of illness slowing us down, our enthusiasm for the latest in AI news remains undiminished, and we offer our spirited take on what this could mean for AI safety regulations.
In our tech news roundup, we explore the key players and challenges in cloud computing. From SIVO's strategies in cloud cost management to Azure's ongoing capacity issues, we've got you covered. We also dig into Broadcom's recent earnings report and the surprising slump in AI chip demand, considering what this signals for the industry. Confused by the term "micro cloud"? So are we! We break down why this buzzword doesn’t quite measure up to traditional edge computing or MSP offerings and wrap things up with some light-hearted commentary on fast food marketing and Chick-fil-A's customer service. Don't miss this episode packed with insights, analysis, and a touch of humor!
