Ist Philipp Klöckner mit den Microsoft-Earnings zufrieden? Philipp Glöckler hat sich ein Probeabo vom Manager Magazin gegönnt und ist überrascht, wie viel Werbung in dem Leit­medium für Ent­scheider:­innen steckt. In Folge 373 meinte Pip, dass seiner Meinung nach die Nvidia-Ökonomie nicht funktionieren kann. OpenAI zahle das 8-fache und solle daher eigene Chips bauen und selbst betreiben. Wenn das wahr ist, sollte dann die Azure-Mircosoft-Ökonomie bzw. die Hyperscaler-Ökonomie nicht auch Risse haben? Was passiert mit dem Bedarf an Rechenzeit, wenn Chips billiger werden? Würde ein CERN für KI Europa helfen? Wir schauen uns die Zahlen von LVMH und PayPal an. Hat Glöckler Apple-fatigue? Apple lässt sich scheinbar mit Apple Intelligence ein bisschen mehr Zeit. Waymo bekommt 5 Milliarden Dollar von Alphabet. Delta verklagt Microsoft und CrowdStrike.
