    Next up, all car manufacturers sticking to ICE vehicles and not investing in electric vehicles ⚡️

    It’s a bit like the horse vs petrol cars, and now EV’s vs ICE cars.

    I remember the attempt at the brand making a comeback but it definitely seemed to fizzle.

    Why such kind of company like Blackberry has made their classic phones linked to their servers? The customer who bought their legacy phones should still use it even though there is no longer software / OS update. Just like my Nokia 6310i which was released in 2002, it can still function as a phone. In addition to that, my iPhone 5 which Apple has stopped software update support is still functional.

    And the employees? Most were dumb as tree stumps. If they knew the business end of a soldering iron you’d be impressed; I should know I fixed a lot of their PC’s

    Blackberry died a long time ago. They just beat a dead horse for over a decade

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.”

He argues companies can collaborate on safety standards without suspending antitrust rules, and that existing consumer-protection and…

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 liability laws already provide tools for addressing harms caused by AI.

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.
