Artificial intelligence only entered the mainstream a year ago. But already, two titans of the industry are prophesying trillions of dollars in opportunity. Nvidia chief Jensen Huang is predicting an additional $1 trillion in data centers in the next few years, while OpenAI's Sam Altman's chip dream is closer to $7 trillion. This week on Tech Check, we take a deep dive into their trillion-dollar AI visions.
In E57, Localogy analysts look at platform paywall abandonment and one-person unicorns. We begin with Mike sharing a brewing trend of content platforms abandoning paywalls as consumers appear to signal a willingness to view ads in exchange for free content. Charles then raises the prospect, citing comments by OpenAI's Sam Altman, that we may not be far away from a one-person startup (leveraging AI) reaching unicorn status before taking on any employees. And finally we wrap up the podcast with each host's nomination for “Who Won the Week” This Week in Local is a Localogy production.

The word on the street is that Sam Altman, the once embattled and now seemingly fine CEO of OpenAI, is currently out in the market trying to raise money for a new microchip-related venture. The amount of money he's raising? Seven trillion dollars, which is about 10% of global GDP. In this episode, we discuss the insane computing requirements of a company like OpenAI, and why Sam might be looking to find a new friend other than Nvidia.

Orchestrate all the Things podcast: Connecting the Dots with George Anadiotis
There's more to AI chips than NVIDIA: AMD, Intel, chiplets, upstarts, analog AI, optical computing, and AI chips designed by AI. The interest and investment in AI is skyrocketing, and generative AI is fueling it. Over one-third of CxOs have reportedly already embraced GenAI in their operations, with nearly half preparing to invest in it. What's powering it all - AI chips - used to receive less attention. Up to the moment OpenAI's Sam Altman claimed he wants to raise up to $7 trillion for a “wildly-ambitious” tech project to boost the world's chip capacity. Geopolitics and sensationalism aside, however, keeping an eye on AI chips means being aware of today's blockers and tomorrow's opportunities. According to a recent study by IMARC, the global AI chip market is expected to reach $89.6 Billion by 2029. The demand for AI chips has increased substantially over time. Growth in AI technology, rising demand for AI chips in consumer electronics and AI chip innovation all contribute to this forecast. Few people have more insights to share on AI hardware than Tony Pialis, CEO and co-founder of Alphawave. In an extensive conversation, Pialis shared his insider's perspective on the AI chip landscape, the transformative rise of chiplets, specialized hardware for training and inference, emerging directions like analog and optical computing, and much more.

With Worldcoin, the idea is to have a digital ID based on your retina. So people are getting their eyes scanned for the new centralized coin. Worldcoin comes out the same week as FedNow, the Federal Reserve's intermediary payment mechanism which will track every payment from every payment app, dictating what can or cannot be sent based on a social credit score. Meanwhile, Russia is unveiling their CBDC at the same time as China brags about their CBDC seeing $250B in transactions in the past 18 months. The new BRICS world reserve currency is set to be a basked of CBDCs but that it'll be based on gold. The problem is, the people don't get to hold the gold and the people will be controlled and corralled into big cities as 15 Minute Cities are deployed. Latin America is jumping on board the CBDC train fast (alongside 96% of countries worldwide). The global financial system is shattering. So is the supply chain, energy grid, housing markets, war and the debauchery of mankind. This creates the perfect storm to get as they say "order out of chaos" in the wake.

The AI Breakdown: Daily Artificial Intelligence News and Discussions
The Fermi Paradox refers to the discrepancy between what seems like the high chance of other intelligent life given billions of planets and our total lack of evidence of that life. Some in the AI community (including OpenAI's Sam Altman) think one answer could be AI killing off all advanced biological civilizations. Before that on the Brief: SEC Chair Gary Gensler worries that artificial intelligence could help cause the next financial crisis; the EU unsuccessfully lobbies Asia for tougher AI regulations; Chinese and Indian AI efforts advance, and the markets love Wix's new AI website creator.

Today, I'm talking to Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind, the newly created division of Google responsible for AI efforts across the company. Google DeepMind is the result of an internal merger: Google acquired Demis' DeepMind startup in 2014 and ran it as a separate company inside its parent company, Alphabet, while Google itself had an AI team called Google Brain. Google has been showing off AI demos for years now, but with the explosion of ChatGPT and a renewed threat from Microsoft in search, Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai made the decision to bring DeepMind into Google itself earlier this year to create… Google DeepMind. What's interesting is that Google Brain and DeepMind were not necessarily compatible or even focused on the same things: DeepMind was famous for applying AI to things like games and protein-folding simulations. The AI that beat world champions at Go, the ancient board game? That was DeepMind's AlphaGo. Meanwhile, Google Brain was more focused on what's come to be the familiar generative AI toolset: large language models for chatbots, and editing features in Google Photos. This was a culture clash and a big structure decision with the goal of being more competitive and faster to market with AI products. And the competition isn't just OpenAI and Microsoft — you might have seen a memo from a Google engineer floating around the web recently claiming that Google has no competitive moat in AI because open-source models running on commodity hardware are rapidly evolving and catching up to the tools run by the giants. Demis confirmed that the memo was real but said it was part of Google's debate culture, and he disagreed with it because he has other ideas about where Google's competitive edge might come into play. We also talked about AI risk and artificial general intelligence. Demis is not shy that his goal is building an AGI, and we talked through what risks and regulations should be in place and on what timeline. Demis recently signed onto a 22-word statement about AI risk with OpenAI's Sam Altman and others that simply reads, “Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.” That's pretty chill, but is that the real risk right now? Or is it just a distraction from other more tangible problems like AI replacing labor in various creative industries? We also talked about the new kinds of labor AI is creating — armies of low-paid taskers classifying data in countries like Kenya and India in order to train AI systems. I wanted to know if Demis thought these jobs were here to stay or just a temporary side effect of the AI boom. This one really hits all the Decoder high points: there's the big idea of AI, a lot of problems that come with it, an infinite array of complicated decisions to be made, and of course, a gigantic org chart decision in the middle of it all. Demis and I got pretty in the weeds, and I still don't think we covered it all, so we'll have to have him back soon.

Technology commentator Mark Pesce joins Kathryn to talk about how OpenAI's Sam Altman tried to water down landmark AI legislation coming out of the EU, the security researchers who worked out how to use fluctuations in lighting to decode secret passkey encryption data, the bluetooth car battery checker sold in NZ that's been found to be siphoning up users' location data to Hong Kong and China and the Elon Musk-Mark Zuckerberg planned MMA-style 'cage match'.
Neil Chilson is a lawyer and computer scientist, he's the former Chief Technologist at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and a current senior research fellow for technology and innovation at the Center for Growth and Opportunity, and the author of “Getting Out of Control: Emergent Leadership in a Complex World”.Neil has decades of first-hand experience in regulatory policy and introduces the distinction between outcome-based, more common law-like legal approaches to regulation vs. the more well-known statutory and preventative approach.This seemingly technical distinction is very relevant. We start by discussing the "Knowledge Problem" that F. A. Hayek raised in one of the most influential economics papers ever written, "The Use of Knowledge in Society" from 1945.Hayek's insight is that central planners cannot know the facts relevant to making their decisions, because knowledge is "tacit" and value is subjective to the individual. The system of free price-setting is necessary to create an "emergent order" that does not come about by conscious design but by adjustment and small improvements through individuals making rational decisions based on their local information. Neil's work is dedicated to applying the insight of emergent order in business, policymaking, and even personal growth - instead of rushing to ask for an authoritative "man in charge", we should instead embrace humility.Rather than making rules for new technology that is rapidly changing, we should focus on liability for bad outcomes after-the-fact. We apply these insights to debates about the existential risk of artificial intelligence (AI) and the regulatory policy of OpenAI's Sam Altman and Microsoft.While we're optimistic that software and AI are "born-free" technologies relatively unencumbered by regulatory overreach, Neil warns that policymakers in Washington and in international governmental organizations have an agenda: they see the internet as a bad thing, and AI risk is a welcome opportunity to further this agenda.Let's not let the internet and AI become stranded technologies. The future is open.Infinita Website: https://infinitavc.com/
