    An hour early today?

    META must build its own Cloud with its own AI data centers. Its current method of renting compute from GOOG, AMZN, MSFT, & ORCL won’t work much longer.

    is Meta like xAI… nobody really want to use their AI, so they just sell the computation power to somebody else

      No. Meta’s AI play is about optimizing ad revenue, which is making it the number one ad seller in the world, ahead of Google. Everything else is just finding ways to add to the bottom line. Renting out GPUs will be a significant boost to revenue.

      @QXT-di8wv The cheap AI plan is Meta One Plus: $7.99/month, basically “$8/month.” Maybe they see how much people will pay to use their AI

    Ed is the best, but he’s going to need a better sidekick with Caroline gone. So far their bench looks real weak

    After 18 months of being told ‘we don’t have enough compute’ for ‘AI’, suddenly xAI and Meta don’t know what to do with it.

    Guess we don’t need those orbital data centres anymore? I’m sure the market will figure that out.

    Oh wait SpaceX hasn’t moved on the news. Market so smart.

    This reporting should be illegal 😤

    Anyone that thinks compute constraints have changed in the last 2 months is an absolute moron!
    Nothing has changed along side your standard market manipulation and anonymous voices that have leaked “supposedly new” company information for meta!?… this shit isn’t news 🙄

Crusoe CEO Chase Lochmiller discusses the AI infrastructure company’s nearly $4 billion in fresh funding sending its valuation to almost $31 billion. He also discusses how it will fuel the company’s push to build AI infrastructure spanning data centers, cloud computing and managed AI services. He says Crusoe could eventually enter the public markets and pushes back against growing opposition to data centers, arguing the industry has a “marketing issue” and needs to better communicate its impact on water, jobs and local tax revenue. He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”

Former FTC Technologist Warns Against an AI ‘Cartel’

As frontier AI labs seek greater coordination on safety, Neil Chilson, Head of AI Policy at the Abundance Institute and former FTC Chief Technologist, warns that government-backed antitrust exemptions could create a durable “cartel” that ultimately harms competition. He argues companies can collaborate on safety standards without suspending antitrust rules, and that existing consumer-protection and…

He argues companies can collaborate on safety standards without suspending antitrust rules, and that existing consumer-protection and liability laws already provide tools for addressing harms caused by AI.

Anthropic Investor Franklin: AI Safety Concerns Won’t Slow Spending

Calls to “pace” development at the AI frontier are unlikely to translate into a slowdown in infrastructure spending, according to Sara Araghi, Franklin Templeton Portfolio Manager and Franklin Venture Partner. She argues that even if labs temper some model training, growing inference demand will continue to require enormous amounts of compute. Araghi also discusses why…

She argues that even if labs temper some model training, growing inference demand will continue to require enormous amounts of compute. Araghi also discusses why heightened AI safety concerns could boost demand for cybersecurity and why she doesn’t expect the debate to derail funding or anticipated AI IPOs. She joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”
