Podcasts about Silicon

Bob Wright is back, and The God Test is the AI book I had been waiting for someone to write — the only one I have read that takes the spiritual stakes of the technology with the seriousness Teilhard would have. It opens with the interview Bob conducted with a young Geoffrey Hinton in 1983 — now anointed by The New York Times as the godfather of AI, now also one of its loudest doomers — and pivots into what Bob did not understand in that hotel room forty years ago: that we would build something as powerful as the human brain without ever first having to understand the brain. The bottom-up approach won. We are now inside the consequences. We spent the hour on Teilhard's noosphere acquiring silicon neurons, on why Bob argues accelerationism is lethal, on the difference between cognitive sovereignty and cognitive empathy and why both are now in jeopardy, on whether the algorithm has already occupied the very inner room from which sovereignty would be exercised, and on the closing line of the book — which I will not spoil here, except to say it is the kind of line you stop reading after. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Robert Wright is the New York Times bestselling author of Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny, The Moral Animal, The Evolution of God (Pulitzer Prize finalist), and Why Buddhism Is True. His newest book, The God Test, is out from Simon & Schuster in June 2026. He is Visiting Professor of Science and Religion at Union Theological Seminary in New York and president of the Nonzero Foundation. His Nonzero Newsletter and Nonzero Podcast (currently in rotation with Paul Bloom) live at nonzero.substack.com — and yes, I am a paid member. Books surfaced in this conversation: The God Test (the book at hand), The Evolution of God (the silicon-god closing line of The God Test picks up the long arc of Evolution directly), Why Buddhism Is True (the contemplative-traditions stretch of the conversation), and Nonzero (the non-zero-sum framing that runs under everything Bob does).

We just finished the 16th annual Lean LaunchPad class at Stanford. In those 16 years, the class has gone from a radical idea – that the Lean method could provide a more productive framework for new startups – to something that everyone agrees is a way to build new startups.

What happens to your EV's battery when it's no longer powerful enough to drive? Is there more life left in it than you'd expect? Those are just two of the questions Craig Cole and co-host Sam Abuelsamid put to Kurt Kelty, VP of Battery and Sustainability at General Motors, who spent over a decade leading battery engineering at Tesla before bringing that expertise to GM. The conversation covers second-life battery programs already operating at scale, GM's decision to leapfrog lithium iron phosphate and pursue sodium-ion chemistry for stationary energy storage, next-generation battery architectures designed to slash cost and complexity, and a candid take on where solid-state batteries actually stand today.Chapters0:00 - Introduction6:13 - Kurt Kelty's Career & GM's Battery Strategy14:46 - Sodium-Ion: The Chemistry GM Is Betting On19:23 - Vehicle-to-Grid & China's EV Market25:43 - Next-Gen Battery Architecture35:01 - LMR, Silicon & Solid-State Batteries39:12 - Three for the Road43:05 - ConclusionsCheck out our Buyer's Guide at https://apps.greencars.com/buyers-guideVisit GreenCars on YouTube for EV and hybrid reviews and much more:https://www.youtube.com/@greencarshq Hosted on Acast.

What if artificial intelligence is more than just technology? What if the rapid rise of AI, transhumanism, digital currencies, surveillance systems, and technocratic control are all part of a much larger transformation taking place before our eyes? In this thought-provoking conversation, Cregg Lund, author of Silicon Satan and Silicon Inferno, joins Michael Jaco to discuss the accelerating AI revolution and the deeper spiritual, technological, and societal implications many people are only beginning to recognize. Drawing from his background as a software engineer and researcher, Cregg explores how artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping communication, finance, education, employment, government, and even human identity itself. The discussion examines the growing influence of AI systems, digital surveillance, biometric technologies, transhumanism, centralized control structures, and the potential risks associated with humanity becoming increasingly dependent on intelligent machines. Michael and Cregg also explore the spiritual dimensions of emerging technologies, asking important questions about free will, consciousness, morality, and what it truly means to remain human in an age of artificial intelligence. As AI capabilities continue advancing at unprecedented speed, the conversation challenges listeners to think critically about where society is heading and who ultimately controls the technologies shaping the future. This episode is not about fear. It's about awareness. It's about understanding the choices being made today that could impact generations to come. And it's about ensuring that technological advancement serves humanity rather than replacing it. Whether you're interested in artificial intelligence, digital currencies, technocracy, transhumanism, consciousness, faith, or the future of civilization, this is a fascinating discussion on one of the most important topics of our time.

This month, Against All Oddities enters the silicon séance room to ask a troubling question: what happens when humanity's accumulated occult knowledge starts talking back? We explore AI as oracle, guru, summoner, and brainwave tuner. Can large language models become intermediaries between ourselves and whatever else is out there, or is it a bad idea to trust a chaotic-neutral actor trained on the entirety of human knowledge? Obviously, this topic was always going to get us talking about the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. With only minor spoilers, we unabashedly stan the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and discuss the plight of Carl, Donut, and an absurd apocalypse that may have become an unexpectedly useful lens for understanding our algorithmic future.

For people like Misty, technology isn't a luxury—it shapes how they think, what they trust, and what kind of future they believe they're living in. That confidence begins to crack when a personal encounter exposes something deeper. The machines that hold this community together depend on materials depending on supply chains that no longer exist.

Listen Now to 013 WTFuture Watch 013 WTFuture Howdy all! We kick things off by diving into WWDC 2026, where Apple announced a revamped, locally processed “Siri AI” that promises to understand human tone, pauses, and emotion, paving the way for truly natural conversations with robots. This inspires us to imagine using AI agents to revive and automate our vintage “Party Projector” app in hopes of striking it rich as the sole product of our new AI-powered two-person company. Hey, one can dream! :-)We then take a look at controversial claims of a new, propellantless electrostatic force that could overcome gravity without expelling mass. Naturally, this gravity-defying topic leads to a fun detour into how UFOs might use gravitational wave guides to pull space toward them, complete with a shoutout to a highly realistic Lazarian 5-D simulation designed to ‘take you there.” Happy Disclosure Time! (esp if you are NDA free” :-) Next we explore NASA’s upcoming 2028 “Dragonfly” mission, which will send a nuclear-powered, car-sized rotocraft to fly through the thick atmosphere and liquid methane lakes of Saturn’s freezing moon, Titan. Why, you might ask? It’s a moon rich in petro chemicals, think of the ‘pipeline’ we’ll build, the gas beings we’ll have to deal with!We also unravel some explosive Earth history, discussing the mysterious 1908 Tunguska airburst over Siberia, considering the latest conjecture that it may have been caused by a massive rocketing ice cube, vaporizing on impact, flattening trees for hundreds of miles, creating a warm little pond in the center.And then a nearby area’s massive stash of hidden, meteor made impact diamonds! Who says meteors have to be bad?And least we forget, there is some good news about climate repair, on how the massive 2022 Hunga Tonga underwater volcanic eruption unexpectedly created a formaldehyde cloud that helped to break down the massive amounts of planet-heating methane the volcano just ‘farted.’ It appears the volcano was cleaning up after itself! “It’s not just a bathroom deodorant, it kills ‘germs’ too!” We wrap up our eco-talk with the promising discovery of naturally occurring “white hydrogen” seeping from the ancient rocks of the Canadian Shield, which could serve as a massive new clean, cheap energy source for the planet. Think of it, if Canada goes to hydrogen and all of our petro using machines can be converted to it..we can stop thinking about the Strait of Hormuz! :-) Enjoy..

Apple acaba de dejar muchísimas pistas sobre el futuro del iPhone, el Mac y Apple Intelligence.En este nuevo episodio de APPLEaks, analizamos las noticias más importantes de la semana: el iPhone plegable tipo pasaporte, el posible MacBook Ultra con M6, las nuevas funciones de FaceTime en iOS 27, el fin de soporte para varios iPhone antiguos en WhatsApp y la confirmación de que macOS Golden Gate quedará limitado a equipos con Apple Silicon. Pero el centro del episodio está en algo mucho más grande: Apple Intelligence, Siri AI, Gemini y la Unión Europea.Apple insiste en que su enfoque se basa en privacidad, procesamiento local y peticiones anónimas en la nube, pero la presión regulatoria europea vuelve a abrir una pregunta clave: ¿puede Apple ofrecer una IA profundamente integrada sin entregar acceso total a terceros? Además, repasamos qué hay realmente detrás de la colaboración con Google Gemini, cómo funcionaría el uso de modelos avanzados en la nube, por qué algunas funciones podrían depender de más memoria RAM y qué significa que Apple esté integrando una capa de inteligencia transversal dentro del sistema. Y al final, una sorpresa: Siri AI ya se me habilitó en beta. La probé con búsquedas dentro de mi biblioteca de fotos y, aunque todavía falla bastante, cuando funciona muestra hacia dónde quiere ir Apple. APPLEaks 225 viene cargado de buenas noticias, malas noticias y una señal muy clara: Apple Intelligence recién empieza, pero el camino no va a ser simple.

We just wrapped up our Hacking for Defense class at Stanford. This was the 11th year we've taught Hacking for Defense, and the impact of asymmetric warfare, (drones, off-the-shelf technologies, etc.,) disruptive technologies (AI, commercial access to space) and a startup friendly DoW acquisition system – make it feel like a much different class than the previous classes.

Every once in a while a book comes along that doesn't just change your tactical thinking, but makes you see the world in a different way. Reading this book is like taking the red pill in the Matrix.

On this episode, Mark sits down with Taylor Allred, Program Director of the Coastal Conservation League, to talk about AI and the surge in data center demand it's driving, which is creating financial and environmental problems for households. They also discuss the proposals for multiple data centers here in South Carolina that have seen significant pushback from residents.#podcast #ai #datacenter #history

In episode 246, Peter speaks to Richard Hames who returns to FuturePod to discuss his new book, Teaching Silicon How to Feel.

Microsoft Build 2026 announced an end-to-end agentic AI stack. COMPUTEX Taipei confirmed heterogeneous AI infrastructure across ARM, Marvell, Intel, Qualcomm, and NVIDIA. Alphabet raised $80 billion. Cisco Live repositioned the network as the AI platform. Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman break it all down alongside earnings from Broadcom, HPE, Palo Alto Networks, and CrowdStrike, plus the token cost conversation, the edge AI push, and what Palantir and Oracle are saying about proprietary data as the real AI moat. The handpicked topics for this week are: Microsoft Build 2026 Announced an End-to-End Agentic AI Stack: Microsoft shipped MAI-Thinking-1, its first homegrown thinking model, alongside Scout, Microsoft IQ, Project Solara, and a Majorana 2 quantum update targeting a 2029 commercial timeline with claims of a 1,000x reliability gain. Pat describes MAI-Thinking-1 as likely better than Sonnet 4.6 in blind testing and delivering close to GPT 5.5 quality at a far lower cost. Scout is Microsoft's first autopilot agent, anchoring the M365 Agent Suite with Office Pilot Agent Mode and Agent 365. Microsoft IQ serves as the context layer, integrating M365, business data, boundary IQ, and web IQ with GitHub Copilot, Foundry, and Copilot Studio. Project Solara is a new Android-based platform built for agent-first devices across transportation, retail, and hospital settings. Microsoft also added 83 Unix commands to the Windows stack. Dan frames Microsoft's real play as distribution, not frontier model development, noting that the open model ecosystem being pulled into the platform will matter more to CFOs managing token costs at scale. (The Decode) The AI Stack Goes Multi-Silicon — COMPUTEX Taipei 2026 Confirms Heterogeneous AI Infrastructure: ARM's AGI CPU is in production with Google moving its TPU head node to ARM, and adding Oracle and ByteDance as new customers. ARM also introduced a new switch, the TT100, and put the 51T CPO switch on stage. Marvell received a trillion-dollar company endorsement from Jensen Huang, adding $90 billion in market cap on the comment alone. Intel announced disaggregated inference details and Xeon 6+ Clearwater Forest, its first 18A data center processor. Vista Equity and Cambium Capital announced a NeoCloud called Vector Core Compute, with Xeon 6 handling orchestration, Salmonova RUs handling decode, and Blackwell GPUs handling pre-fill. Qualcomm's Cristiano Amon announced the Dragonfly data center brand with Snapdragon C details coming at their June investor day. The WSTS raised the 2026 semiconductor TAM forecast by 90% to $1.51 trillion, with Pat noting the market could hit a trillion dollars if memory is excluded entirely. (The Decode) NVIDIA RTX Spark and the Edge AI Push: NVIDIA coordinated with ARM and Microsoft around the RTX Spark at COMPUTEX, with the shared message being that the future of Windows is here. Signal65's Ryan Shrout asked Jensen directly why NVIDIA wants to be in the PC business, given low margins and diminishing returns. Dan frames the answer in the context of devices increasingly becoming mobile data centers, capable of running models at much greater efficiency than cloud delivery. The edge AI conversation is also directly tied to token cost economics: as intelligence delivery moves closer to the device, the cost per token drops significantly. The jury is still out on whether NVIDIA will meaningfully disrupt the PC market, but its influence over OEMs like Lenovo and Dell that depend on it for data center gives it real leverage over SKUs. (The Decode) Token Economics and Frontier Model Cost Pressure: Dan and Pat discuss a substantive shift in how enterprises are thinking about AI consumption costs. Dan argues that "token maxing," the practice of defaulting to the most powerful frontier model for every task, has now effectively peaked, as bills have come due at scale. Companies paying for tokens in volume are starting to question whether they can afford the prices that frontier models actually cost to deliver. Pat pushes back, saying the dynamic is still present, but both analysts agree that the market is moving toward a model where token selection is matched to the job, with Microsoft's MOE approach and thinking models positioned to help CFOs manage that economics story. (The Decode) Continuum Goes Public at Highest Valuation for an AI Platform: Dan notes that Continuum, the Honeywell-spawned quantum company, went public this week at what he calls the highest valuation for an AI platform to date. He flags that IonQ will likely contest that characterization. The broader context is Microsoft entering the quantum conversation with Majorana 2 at Build, a name that has largely been absent from the quantum race, while IBM has received most of the attention. (The Decode) AI CapEx Has Outgrown Cash Flow — Alphabet's $80 Billion Equity Raise: On June 1, Alphabet announced an $80 billion equity capital raise, upsized to $85 billion, structured as $40 billion ATM, $30 billion underwritten, and a $10 billion private placement with Berkshire Hathaway anchoring. Pat frames the questions over CapEx returns as entirely dependent on whether you are an AI boomer or a doomer: if the payback comes, the raise is the right move. If it does not, the math doesn't close. Dan argues the investment is existential, drawing parallels to how infrastructure-first companies have always spent ahead of monetization, and notes that Google's equity is being used as a capital engine that may be more efficient than the debt markets right now. Both analysts flag the downstream implications for Broadcom, MediaTek, and Marvell given the TPU connection. (The Decode) The Network Becomes the AI Platform: Cisco Live 2026: Cisco launched Silicon One P200, the Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA and Spectrum X, AgenticOps, MCP-native automation, Cisco IQ, LiveProtect, and folded Astrix Security and Galileo into Splunk under one control plane. Pat identifies Cisco Cloud Control as the biggest announcement of the entire show, pulling together Catalyst, Meraki, Nexus, Firewall, and WebEx under agentic ops that run natively through MCP, with code running directly on smart switches that have x86 processors. Pat also credits Cisco for establishing Silicon One as a credible chip alternative for hyperscalers capable of taking on Tomahawk and Jericho. Dan frames the long-term opportunity as campus and branch enablement when industrial AI and robotics deployments accelerate, arguing that the numerator of AI's economic impact has barely started, as edge deployment spending has not yet begun. (The Decode) The Flip: Did Microsoft Build 2026 Effectively End the OpenAI Partnership? Pat argues the divorce decree has been filed. MAI-Thinking-1 was built with zero distillation from third-party models offering clean enterprise data lineage, with Maia 200 in production plus Anthropic chip supply, which signals vendor hedging. OpenAI is going all-in on AWS, which means you cannot be married to two people, and the full Build stack covering model, OS containment via MXC, agents via Scout and Agent 365, and context via Microsoft IQ removes every architectural dependency on OpenAI. Dan counters that Microsoft is hedging rather than leaving and predicts the partnership will run through the decade. Enterprise Copilot customers are explicitly showing in data that they demand GPT 5.5, internal benchmarks have not been independently validated, and Microsoft stands to make meaningful money from the OpenAI IPO. (The Flip) Broadcom Q2 FY26 Earnings: Broadcom posted revenue of $22.19 billion, a narrow miss depending on which consensus data set is used, with EPS of $2.44 beating estimates and AI semis at $10.8 billion. Hock Tan declined to raise the $100 billion full-year AI chip target, and the stock dropped 13% in premarket trading. Q3 guide came in at $29.4 billion. Pat calls the miss a timing issue driven by Google's multi-sourcing across Marvell, MediaTek, and Broadcom rather than a fundamental problem. Dan flags that Hock Tan opened the earnings call by accidentally reading from the 2025 print, calling it "not the best moment." Sell-side re-ratings held in the 500s across Jefferies, Mizuho, and Deutsche Bank despite the drop, with Futurum Equities having it at 600. (Bulls and Bears) Hewlett Packard Enterprise Q2 FY26 Earnings: HPE delivered revenue of $10.68 billion, up 40% year over year, and EPS of $0.79, up 100%. Juniper integration and AI servers both outperformed, and all FY26 guides were raised. The stock jumped 19% after hours before settling into a roughly 15% gain, with HPE up 68% over the last month. Pat frames HPE as a value play rather than a volume play, methodically targeting enterprise and sovereign cloud deals where it can maintain profitability, rather than competing for massive NeoCloud volume. Antonio Neri was clear on the call that the profitability pull-forward is a one-shot deal. Pat and Dan will both be at HPE Discover the week after next to interview Neri and the C-suite. (Bulls and Bears) Palo Alto Networks Q3 FY26 Earnings: Palo Alto posted revenue of $3.0 billion, up 31% year over year, beating the $2.94 billion estimate, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.85, beating the $0.79 to $0.81 range. NGS ARR reached $8.1 billion, up 60% year over year, including $1.6 billion from CyberArk and Chronosphere. RPO hit $18.4 billion, up 36%. Both FY26 revenue and EPS guides were raised. Adjusted FCF margin came in at 38.5% TTM, up 430 basis points. The stock jumped 11% immediately after hours, then drifted lower. Pat points to 2,200 platformized customers and 120% net retention as the most important metrics. Dan notes the SaaSpocalypse thesis continues to be wrong. (Bulls and Bears) CrowdStrike Q1 FY27 Earnings and the Proprietary Data Moat Argument: CrowdStrike posted revenue of $1.39 billion with EPS of $1.10 and ARR of $5.51 billion. Net new ARR of $255.8 million set a Q1 record, up 32% year over year. FY27 net new ARR guide was raised by $52 million to a $1.29 billion midpoint, and FY27 revenue was raised to $5.915 to $5.959 billion. A 4-for-1 stock split was announced effective July 2nd. The stock dropped 11% despite the beat after a 64% year-to-date run into earnings. Dan uses the results to make a broader argument against the software disruption thesis, referencing Palantir CEO Alex Karp daring customers to build without him using Anthropic or OpenAI, and Larry Ellison's argument that the real AI value unlock sits in proprietary enterprise data that is not accessible to frontier models. Enterprises with governed, secure, proprietary data will continue to need platforms like CrowdStrike regardless of what frontier models can do. (Bulls and Bears) Six Five Summit is coming.

Silicon solar panels have led the market for decades but will soon hit a ceiling around 25% efficiency. Perovskite, a frontier material once dismissed for degrading too fast, is now being called the holy grail of solar. Saritha Peruri, VP of Commercialization at Tandem PV, is bringing it to market. The company stacks its proprietary perovskite on top of silicon, capturing a wider spectrum of light and pushing efficiency past 30%, a major jump over conventional solar. And because it builds on the silicon PV infrastructure that already exists, the path to scale stays simple. Getting there wasn't easy. After a long Series A, Tandem PV pulled off something rare in deep-tech hardware: 100% equipment financing for its 40-megawatt demonstration factory. It's now shipping quarter-sized modules to utility-scale customers who want U.S.-made panels for supply chain certainty and the domestic content kicker. It's potentially a bridge to a post-ITC world that cuts land and labor costs because each installation needs far fewer modules. In this episode, host Lara Pierpoint talks with Saritha about reaching high durability and the challenges of financing deep-tech hardware. Credits: Hosted by Lara Pierpoint.

In this episode of The Future Is Human, I'm joined by theologian and blogger Larry Chapp for a wide-ranging conversation on Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas. Larry — who writes at GaudiumEtSpes22.com and is a regular contributor to Catholic World Report — brings his characteristic blend of patristics, Augustinian social thought, and sharp Vatican-watching to the document. We dig into the encyclical's Christological anthropology, the Pope's Augustinian reading of the Tower of Babel, the tech-bro backlash, why AI will never achieve consciousness, what the encyclical gets right and wrong on just war theory, and what we're still hoping Leo writes next. Larry Chapp's response to Magnifica Humanitas at CWR: https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2026/05/27/why-i-think-magnifica-humanitas-is-a-pointed-and-prophetic-gut-punch/ Larry's blog: GaudiumEtSpes22.com Magnifica Humanitas : https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/encyclicals/documents/20260515-magnifica-humanitas.html

Russia has rained Oreshnik hypersonic missiles on Kiev. Four people killed. 549 missiles apparently shot down. This was a message. The Oreshnik travels at Mach 10. It was designed to deliver nukes. As fighting season starts in earnest, year five looks like it might be the start of real escalation. But, if Russian munitions start tiptoeing ever further West, could this be the year of, you know, real real escalation? Meanwhile, the US-Iran war peace talks are going well: Iran wants tolls on the strait. US says no. Iran wants 12 billion in reparations. US says no. Nuclear weapons? They're being kicked into another round of talks-about-talks. So why is Little Marco still predicting a deal within days? Finally, Huawei say they have figured out a new approach to chip design that doesn't require them to be smaller. “What happens when you've got a silicon chip the size of a dinner plate?” is one key question. Another is what happens when chips are no longer the ace card for Western leverage. Do check out our Substack if you can - https://multipolaritypod.substack.com/

VOV1 - Đây là hoạt động nằm trong khuôn khổ Chương trình Thách thức Đổi mới sáng tạo Việt Nam 2026, hướng tới xây dựng thế hệ nhân lực có khả năng phát triển sản phẩm cùng AI, đồng thời thúc đẩy ứng dụng trí tuệ nhân tạo vào giải quyết các bài toán thực tiễn của doanh nghiệp và nền kinh tế.Chiều nay (28/05), tại Hà Nội, Trung tâm Đổi mới sáng tạo Quốc gia (NIC) phối hợp với Tập đoàn Meta, Tổ chức AI for Vietnam và Đại học Duy Tân tổ chức họp báo công bố chương trình “Vietnam AI Innovation Challenge” - hackathon AI-native đầu tiên tại Việt Nam.Theo Ban tổ chức, chương trình “Vietnam AI Innovation Challenge” sẽ diễn ra từ ngày 17 đến 19/7 tới tại thành phố Đà Nẵng, dự kiến quy tụ từ 2.000 đến 3.000 lập trình viên, sinh viên công nghệ và người trẻ đam mê AI trên cả nước tham gia thi đấu liên tục trong 48 giờ.Trước khi bước vào vòng thi chính thức, người tham gia sẽ được tham gia bootcamp kéo dài 5 tuần với các chuyên đề như thiết kế sản phẩm AI-native, xây dựng AI Agents, chiến lược sản phẩm, gọi vốn và đưa sản phẩm vào vận hành thực tế. Chương trình có sự tham gia của các chuyên gia đến từ Google, Stanford, Meta, NVIDIA, TikTok cùng nhiều công ty AI hàng đầu thế giới.Phát biểu tại họp báo, ông Nguyễn Khánh Linh, đại diện Trung tâm Đổi mới sáng tạo Quốc gia NIC cho biết, chương trình được kỳ vọng trở thành nền tảng kết nối năng lực AI của Việt Nam với các nhu cầu phát triển thực tiễn của doanh nghiệp và địa phương; qua đó góp phần hình thành nguồn nhân lực AI thực chiến, thúc đẩy đổi mới sáng tạo mở và nâng cao năng lực cạnh tranh quốc gia trong kỷ nguyên AI."Bên cạnh việc tiếp cận và làm chủ công nghệ, Việt Nam cũng cần tạo điều kiện để đội ngũ kỹ sư, startup, sinh viên và cộng đồng công nghệ trực tiếp tham gia giải quyết các bài toán thực tiễn. Qua đó hình thành năng lực phát triển sản phẩm, tư duy đổi mới sáng tạo và xây dựng thế hệ “AI builder” của Việt Nam. Đó cũng là lý do Vietnam AI Innovation Challenge 2026 được xây dựng không chỉ như một cuộc thi công nghệ, mà còn là nền tảng kết nối giữa doanh nghiệp, cộng đồng công nghệ, các trường đại học và đối tác trong hệ sinh thái đổi mới sáng tạo nhằm thúc đẩy phát triển các giải pháp AI có giá trị thực tiễn cho Việt Nam." - ông Nguyễn Khánh Linh nhấn mạnh.Trong khi đó, đại diện Tập đoàn Meta đánh giá Việt Nam đang sở hữu cộng đồng phát triển công nghệ năng động hàng đầu khu vực Đông Nam Á, đồng thời khẳng định chương trình sẽ góp phần tạo ra những sản phẩm AI có giá trị thực tiễn phục vụ doanh nghiệp và xã hội. Bà Thảo Griffiths, Giám đốc Chính sách công phụ trách Việt Nam, Lào, Campuchia và Myanmar, Tập đoàn Meta chia sẻ: "Việt Nam hiện là nơi quy tụ một trong những cộng đồng phát triển sản phẩm công nghệ năng động nhất Đông Nam Á. Vietnam AI Innovation Challenge được xây dựng nhằm chuyển nguồn năng lượng sáng tạo đó thành những sản phẩm AI có giá trị thực tiễn, góp phần giải quyết các bài toán cụ thể của doanh nghiệp và đời sống. Tập đoàn Meta tự hào đồng hành cùng Tổ chức AI for Vietnam, Trung tâm Đổi mới sáng tạo Quốc gia và Đại học Duy Tân trong việc hỗ trợ các nhà phát triển xuyên suốt hành trình xây dựng sản phẩm.

When a company moves from lab validation to commercial conversations, the phone does not just ring once. It starts ringing from multiple directions.HPQ Silicon's technology partner Novacium has signed a non-binding, non-exclusive Letter of Intent with GH Technologies, a Hong Kong based B2B distributor, to evaluate potential commercial opportunities for high capacity GEN4 lithium-ion cells in Asia Pacific markets.The LOI covers Novacium's GEN4 18650 and 21700 formats, along with other lithium-ion batteries built on Novacium's GEN4 silicon anode technology. Asia Pacific represents more than 57% of global demand for cylindrical lithium-ion cells, making it one of the most important regions for battery commercialization.GH Technologies entered the LOI following its evaluation of Novacium GEN4 cells, including reported capacity exceeding 6,600 mAh, reported energy density of 319.9 Wh/kg, and international certifications including IEC 62133, UL 1642, and UN 38.3.A related Novacium LinkedIn post added another layer of context, referencing a potential partnership value of more than US$30 million over 36 months. That figure should be understood as potential value, not confirmed revenue or a completed sales contract. Still, when combined with the official LOI, it points to the scale of the commercial opportunity now being evaluated.For HPQ, which holds a 36.8% equity interest in Novacium and exclusive North American rights to commercialize the technology under the ENDURA+ trademark, the story is moving from technical performance toward early commercial execution.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWAsia Expansion: Novacium signed a nonbinding, nonexclusive LOI with GH Technologies to evaluate potential commercial opportunities for GEN4 battery technologies across Asia Pacific markets.Potential US$30M Value: A Novacium LinkedIn post referenced a potential partnership value of more than US$30 million over 36 months, which should be viewed as potential value rather than confirmed revenue.High Capacity Results: GH Technologies entered the LOI after evaluating Novacium GEN4 cells, including reported capacity exceeding 6,600 mAh and reported energy density of 319.9 Wh/kg.Major Battery Market: Asia Pacific represents more than 57% of global demand for cylindrical lithium-ion cells, according to the company's release.Phone Ringing: Bernard Tourillon says HPQ is now focused on converting growing market interest into first sales, with about 10 NDAs active.Nimble Strategy: Rather than chasing only large, slow moving contracts, HPQ is targeting flexible buyers in markets such as drones, electric bikes, power tools, defense, embedded systems, and high energy density electronic equipment.CEO Bernard Tourillon:“This LOI provides a framework for Novacium and GH Technologies to evaluate potential business opportunities involving GEN4 battery technologies in Asia-Pacific markets. HPQ's 36.8% equity ownership in Novacium SAS and its exclusive North American license provide the Company with access to these technologies for Canada, the United States, and Mexico under the HPQ ENDURA+ trademark.”INVESTOR TAKEAWAYHPQ Silicon is progressing from lab validation toward early commercial execution. Novacium's GEN4 battery technology has now attracted an Asia Pacific LOI with GH Technologies, following reported high capacity cell performance and international certifications. HPQ's 36.8% equity interest in Novacium and exclusive North American commercialization rights under the ENDURA+ trademark give the company multiple ways to participate if the technology continues to advance.For investors, the key question is no longer only whether the technology can perform in testing. The next stage is whether HPQ and Novacium can convert interest, validation, and commercial discussions into first revenue, customer adoption, and a scalable commercialization model.

Silicon solar is approaching a hard physical efficiency ceiling at 30%. Perovskite tandem solar is the only proven path through it. Joel Jean, CEO of Swift Solar, explains the technology, what the Meyer Burger acquisition brings, and where tandems sit on the road to commercial scale.After seven decades, silicon solar is closing in on its physical efficiency limit, and no previous thin-film technology has been able to outperform it at competitive cost. Joel Jean, CEO and co-founder of Swift Solar, a tandem PV manufacturer based in California, joined Tim Montague on the Clean Power Hour to explain why perovskite-silicon tandems are different and how Swift is building toward commercial scale. Jean explains how Swift's approach of vertically integrating perovskite and silicon at the cell level differs from other tandem strategies, and what certifications and milestones a new module technology must clear before utility buyers and independent engineers will finance it. The conversation also covers the US position in the global solar race, perovskite degradation and lead-content concerns, and what a consistent industrial policy would mean for US solar manufacturers.Here is what you will learn in this conversation about perovskite tandem solar and the path to next-generation module efficiency:You'll understand why silicon solar cells are physically limited to around 30% efficiency, and how stacking a perovskite layer on silicon creates a two-junction cell with a path to 35-40%, with three junctions pushing toward 45% or more.Find out what Swift Solar gains from the Meyer Burger acquisition: a heterojunction product with 0.2% annual degradation, the lowest rate in the industry, and a bankable product to serve customers while the tandem completes its certification and field-proof timeline.Learn why Swift's approach of integrating perovskite and silicon at the cell level differs from other tandem strategies, including four-terminal approaches where perovskite is deposited on glass and stacked on a separate module.You'll hear Tim push back on two common concerns about perovskites: degradation and lead content. Joel explains Swift's cell-level stability progress and why perovskite panels contain less lead per square meter than the solder in a standard silicon module.With China installing solar 8.5 times faster than the US and having spent 15-20 years building a manufacturing and policy foundation, the US is still trying to rebuild. The window for US tandem solar companies to establish a position is narrowing. Swift Solar's acquisition of Meyer Burger assets is one of the few cases where a US perovskite tandem startup enters the market with a proven, bankable product already generating field data, rather than waiting years for the tandem to reach certification. For solar professionals evaluating next-generation module technology and investors tracking the US manufacturing pipeline, this conversation gives a clear picture of where tandem technology stands today and what the next two to three years need to deliver.Connect with Joel Jean, Swift Solar LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeljean/Swift Solar: https://www.swiftsolar.com/ Support the showConnect with Tim  Clean Power Hour  Clean Power Hour on YouTubeTim on TwitterTim on LinkedIn Email tim@cleanpowerhour.com Review Clean Power Hour on Apple PodcastsThe Clean Power Hour is produced by the Clean Power Consulting Group and created by Tim Montague.

For its full existence, Arm has primarily been an IP vendor. That has now changed. Arm will be producing silicon products, similar to many of its customers. Getting to that point required an assist from some of its partners, including Synopsys. To understand what an “assist” consists of and what the longer-term outlook looks like, I spoke to Frank Schirrmeister, the Executive Director of Product Management for System Solutions at Synopsys, on this week's Embedded Executives podcast.

Recorded live at Arm's AGI CPU launch event March 24, 2026, this Arm Viewpoints panel brings together senior leaders from across the business to unpack the journey behind Arm's latest milestone. Will Abbey, Dermot O'Driscoll, Steve Halter and Eric Hayes explore how Arm has evolved from a world-class IP provider to delivering full compute subsystems—and now, silicon. The conversation traces Arm's path into the data center, the rise of AI-driven infrastructure demand, and the engineering, ecosystem, and operational shifts required to build at scale. From performance-per-watt and system-level design to supply chain readiness and partner collaboration, this discussion offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to deliver compute for the AI era—and what comes next in an increasingly agentic world.

VOV1 - Một tòa án liên bang Mỹ đã bác bỏ đơn kiện của tỷ phú Elon Musk đối với OpenAI và các lãnh đạo cấp cao của công ty này. Phán quyết không chỉ khép lại một cuộc đối đầu pháp lý đình đám trong giới công nghệ, mà còn làm dấy lên tranh luận lớn về tương lai của ngành trí tuệ nhân tạo (AI). Tỷ phú Elon Musk cáo buộc OpenAI phản bội sứ mệnh ban đầu là hoạt động phi lợi nhuận nhằm phục vụ lợi ích nhân loại trong lĩnh vực trí tuệ nhân tạo (AI). Bồi thẩm đoàn gồm 9 người kết luận rằng ông Elon Musk đã nộp đơn kiện quá muộn và không đáp ứng thời hạn pháp lý theo quy định. Kết luận mang tính tư vấn này được Thẩm phán Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers chấp nhận làm phán quyết chính thức của tòa.Vụ kiện liên quan đến tranh chấp xoay quanh định hướng phát triển của OpenAI. Ông Elon Musk là một trong những nhà đồng sáng lập OpenAI vào năm 2015 và từng đầu tư khoảng 38 triệu USD trong những năm đầu hoạt động. Trong đơn kiện, tỷ phú Elon Musk cho rằng Giám đốc điều hành Sam Altman cùng các cộng sự đã âm thầm chuyển hướng OpenAI sang mô hình vì lợi nhuận, trái với cam kết ban đầu về việc phát triển AI vì lợi ích cộng đồng. Tuy nhiên, phía OpenAI bác bỏ cáo buộc này và khẳng định chưa từng có cam kết rằng công ty sẽ duy trì mô hình phi lợi nhuận vĩnh viễn. Luật sư của OpenAI, ông William Savitt, cho rằng vụ kiện là nỗ lực nhằm cản trở sự phát triển của OpenAI và hỗ trợ cho xAI do tỷ phú Elon Musk thành lập năm 2023: “Ông Musk có thể đưa ra những tuyên bố của mình, và ông ấy có thể kể những câu chuyện của mình. Nhưng điều mà 9 thành viên của bồi thẩm đoàn này đã nhận thấy là những câu chuyện của ông ấy không phải sự thật. Và sự thật là OpenAI là một tổ chức phi lợi nhuận, hoạt động dựa trên sứ mệnh, và đã và sẽ tiếp tục trung thành với sứ mệnh đó như đã và đang làm.”Phản ứng trước phán quyết của tòa án liên bang Mỹ, Luật sư của tỷ phú Elon Musk, ông Steven Molo, cho biết phía nguyên đơn sẽ kháng cáo và cuộc đối đầu pháp lý với OpenAI “còn lâu mới kết thúc”: “Khi bạn có một công thức hoàn toàn mới cho các công ty khởi nghiệp. Bạn nhận tiền trợ cấp công khai dưới hình thức một tổ chức từ thiện. Khi tham vọng của bạn cần nhiều tiền hơn, bạn chỉ cần đưa tất cả lợi nhuận từ nguồn thu đó, trong trường hợp này là công nghệ, vào một bộ máy kinh doanh vì lợi nhuận, và các giám đốc và quan chức của tổ chức từ thiện sẽ được làm giàu lên hàng tỷ đô la. Đó là một công thức hoàn toàn mới cho Thung lũng Silicon.”Phiên tòa thu hút sự chú ý lớn của giới công nghệ khi có sự tham gia làm chứng nhiều lãnh đạo công nghệ hàng đầu. Dan Ives, một nhà phân tích tại Wedbush, cho biết phán quyết đã loại bỏ một trở ngại đáng kể đối với khả năng chào bán cổ phiếu lần đầu ra công chúng (IPO) của OpenAI, có thể định giá doanh nghiệp ở mức 1 nghìn tỷ đô la. Vụ kiện phản ánh cuộc cạnh tranh ngày càng gay gắt trong ngành AI. Giáo sư Stavros Gadinis, Trường Luật Berkeley, Mỹ, cho biết: “Đây là một cuộc đua và không thể tiến lên phía trước nếu thiếu khoản đầu tư lớn. Và đây là kiểu cuộc đua mà bạn hoặc là về nhất, có thể là nhì, hoặc là không tham gia. Một câu hỏi mà nhiều công ty sẽ phải đối mặt là đòi hỏi đầu tư vốn rất lớn, với rủi ro thảm họa rất cao, và với tốc độ phát triển mà chính phủ không thể kiểm soát.”Nhiều chuyên gia xem là một “vụ án bản lề” về việc AI nên phục vụ cộng đồng hay mục tiêu thương mại và sự thay đổi của OpenAI từ một tổ chức nghiên cứu sang một “gã khổng lồ” AI toàn cầu. Vụ kiện có thể mở đường cho mô hình phát triển mới của các công ty công nghệ AI khi khởi đầu với lý tưởng phi lợi nhuận để thu hút nhân tài, niềm tin xã hội và hỗ trợ nghiên cứu nhưng dần chuyển sang mô hình thương mại hóa để huy động vốn quy mô lớn./.Thiều Dương/Ban Thời sự VOV1Sau thất bại pháp lý của Elon Musk, OpenAI được cho là đang tăng tốc kế hoạch IPO nghìn tỉ USD

What happens when AI growth collides with the physical limits of power, materials, and global supply chains? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Matt Kelly, CTO and Vice President of Technology and Standards at the Global Electronics Association, about the growing pressure on AI infrastructure and the supply chains that support it. Drawing on insights from thousands of member organizations across manufacturing, automotive, and electronics, Matt offers a practical look at what business and technology leaders should really be preparing for in 2026 and beyond. Our conversation begins with the shift from cost optimization to resilience and system-level performance. Matt explains why the old procurement mindset of chasing the lowest-cost supplier is rapidly being replaced by what he calls confidence-based sourcing. In a world shaped by geopolitical disruption, pandemic aftershocks, and surging demand for AI, organizations are discovering that cheap sourcing means little if critical components fail to arrive on time. We also discuss why dual sourcing has evolved from a procurement strategy into a business continuity requirement. Matt shares real-world examples of how something as small as a missing capacitor can prevent the delivery of million-dollar AI infrastructure systems. That single point of failure has pushed resilience metrics such as recovery time, geographic diversity, and validated backup suppliers into boardroom discussions. Another major focus of the episode centers on AI infrastructure itself.  While many conversations around AI focus on software models and automation, Matt argues that the true bottleneck may soon become power availability. From server cooling and energy consumption to sustainable hardware design and material shortages, the industry now faces challenges that stretch far beyond compute performance alone. Matt also explains why fully localized supply chains remain unrealistic for the electronics industry. Instead, he advocates for a balanced model that combines trusted global partnerships with strategic regional sourcing for critical components and security-sensitive technologies. One of the strongest takeaways from this conversation is that AI infrastructure must now be approached as a system problem. Silicon design, packaging, thermal management, power delivery, sustainability, and supply chain strategy cannot be treated as separate conversations. As organizations race to scale AI capabilities over the next few years, are business leaders truly prepared for the infrastructure realities sitting behind the AI boom, or are we about to discover that resilience and energy matter just as much as innovation itself?

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1334: Dealers face workforce cuts as Group 1 trims costs, Ford's secret EV project reveals how it plans to hit a $30K price point, and Harley-Davidson shifts back to entry-level bikes to drive volume, boost dealer profits, and reconnect with new riders.Group 1 Automotive has reduced its U.S. workforce by nearly 700 employees in April as leadership responded to a slower retail market and leaned further into technology to improve efficiency.Executives said the company cut about 5% of its U.S. workforce across dealerships and corporate roles to reduce costs.CFO Daniel McHenry said the cuts will save about $35 million annually, while vendor reductions add another $15 million in savings.CEO Daryl Kenningham said leadership reviewed “costs by store and market and business unit” and assigned new staffing targets accordingly.Leadership said the company protected service technicians and retained roles tied to training, development, and retention initiatives.Kenningham: “We feel like we have enough technology overlay that's going to compensate for those lower productivity salespeople that we might have separated with,”We've talked about Ford's low-cost EV project before, but now we're getting a clearer look at how they plan to actually make money on a $30K electric truck.A Wall Street Journal article is detailing how the Ford program led by Silicon valley engineers is focused on stripping costs out of EVs.Ford insiders said the “techie outsiders” and legacy engineers initially struggled with “misunderstandings and distrust,” as fast-moving, risk-tolerant Silicon Valley approaches clashed with Ford's more cautious, process-heavy culture.The development team cut parts, simplified wiring, and redesigned assembly using large castings and modular builds to reduce labor and complexity.Engineering lead Alan Clarke said, “We can look at it as, ‘The Chinese are really far ahead and it's really scary that they're coming.' But, get off your ass and do something about it.”Harley-Davidson is pivoting hard toward affordability, bringing back the Sportster and launching lower-cost models as it tries to reverse years of declining sales and reconnect with a broader rider base.Harley leadership is returning to entry-level bikes after years focused on high-priced touring models that boosted margins but hurt unit sales.CEO Artie Starrs said the revived Sportster will start around $10,000, while a new Sprint model is expected near $6,000 to drive volume.The strategy aims to grow dealer profitability, with plans to double profits this year and quadruple them by 2029.Harley is also pushing more showroom traffic by requiring online merchandise purchases to be picked up at dealerships.CEO Artie Starrs said, “Our riders want it, which means our dealers want it, which is why we're so passionatJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

What is really happening behind the scenes in the worlds of technology, power, and influence? In this intense and eye-opening episode, Cregg Lund, author of Silicon Satan, joins the conversation to expose what he describes as a hidden hierarchy operating beneath the surface of modern society — one that involves Luciferian ideology, secret networks, and influence within powerful institutions. Drawing from his research and personal experiences, Cregg breaks down what he believes is a structured system of control, including layers of hierarchy within occult and Luciferian groups, and how these belief systems may intersect with the rise of technology, Silicon Valley influence, and global power structures. The discussion also explores controversial topics surrounding ritual practices, cultural infiltration, and historical patterns, including claims connected to regions such as Hawaii and other locations where ancient traditions and modern influence intersect. Cregg explains why he believes these systems are not random, but highly organized — with levels of access, knowledge, and power that most people never see. This episode dives into: The hierarchy and structure within Luciferian and occult networks, How technology and influence may intersect with these belief systems, The concept behind Silicon Satan and what it represents, Historical and cultural elements tied to ritual practices, And why understanding these systems could be critical to understanding modern power dynamics. Whether you agree or question these perspectives, this conversation challenges listeners to think deeper about who holds influence in the modern world — and how that influence is exercised.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the physics, biology and chemistry of the element silicon which is at the heart of some of the most useful and beautiful objects on the planet. While it is still being created throughout the universe, the silicon we have here was made billions of years ago in dying stars. In its compounds we have long used silicon for glass and, more recently, purified silicon has become the foundation of modern electronics. Perhaps less appreciated is the role silicon compounds play in the biology of life on Earth, on the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the cycling of elements between land, oceans and atmosphere that sustains us.With Kate Hendry Oceanographer at the British Antarctic Survey and Bye-Fellow of Queen's College, University of CambridgeAndrea Sella Professor of Chemistry at University College LondonAnd Monica Grady Professor Emerita in Planetary and Space Sciences at the Open UniversityProduced by Martha OwenReading list:Christina De La Rocha and Daniel J.
