AI Good and Bad

One "win" with AI is that the technological hardware is pushing into new territories of performance. The need for speed in that industry is like to yield advances that will help everyone.

Nvidia is in the news today for buying out a company called Groq (NOT Grok-- the Musk AI). Groq has been working on their OWN chipsets to run AI. They went into a very different direction with that and produced a processor with ONE CORE--- the exact opposite of what AI farms do with rows of GPUs with thousands of cores:

GrokAI is really convincing to the point that doctors trust it without considering the consequences - its beyond shocking

Personally, I'm sick of AI pic's and video.

And there is probably more truth to the 'One guy/gal that gets it' treatment then we actually know....

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.I said we needed "enterprise-grade security.

"He asked what that meant.I said "compliance."He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."He stopped asking questions.

What I like there is that Grok will GIVE you the links to websites/pages with the relevant info the Grok response was generated from. Checking those sources is kind of important-- especially for a doctor.

Amazon Plunges After Forecasting 50% Surge In Capex To $200BN​

Amazon Plunges After Forecasting 50% Surge In Capex To $200BN | ZeroHedge

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

But while revenue guidance was disappointing, if a bit muted, it was the company's capex guidance - a first for AMZN - that stole the show, because with Wall Street estimates of $146.1 billion in 2026 capex, the company went and reported that it expects to invest about $200 billion in capital expenditures in 2026, a 50% increase from 2025 and an openly ridiculous number, one which is more than a quarter higher than the consensus estimate! Needless to say, there is just not enough grid capacity and electrical power to satisfy the $700BN in CapEx guidance among the Mag7s.

The number was so shocking that even though Wall Street may have been ready to give AMZN the benefit of the doubt for its solid AWS performance and impressive margin bounce, the CapEx guidance was just so gargantuan, there was no way the stock would jump especially after yesterday's GOOGL debacle. Putting the updated capex numbers in context, the 5 bighyperscalers now expect to spend over $700BN in capex next year. The only problem: there is nowhere near enough electrical capacity to feed all these brand new data centers.

Ouch

LEVIS .. perhaps one of the top winners of the California 49'ers gold rush ..

I think Grok should have a number of winners in that list, it all though really depends on how the investment backstop will work out

AI is today's Apollo Mission / Federal highway system / Panama Canal Project / ..

There will be losers ..

Right now I feel like a loser when I am looking for an external SSD for backups
 
AI .. the good ..
