Welcome to episode 314 of The Cloud Pod, where your hosts, Matt and Ryan, are holding down the fort in Justin's absence and bringing what's left of our audience (those of you still here after the last time they were left in charge) the latest and greatest in cloud and tech news. We've got undersea cables, vector storage, and even some hobos – but not the kind on trains. Plus, AWS S3 gets its Vector Victor.

President Trump host a bilateral meeting with the president of the Philippines, touting that a trade deal is close, while also continuing his beratement of Fed Chair Powell. Then the CEO of Suntory, which owns brands like Jim Beam and Makers Mark, lays out how tariffs are impacting the business and the latest on the trade negotiations with Japan. Suntory's CEO also serving as an economic advisor to the Japanese Prime Minister. And Finally reported delays in AI datacenter project ‘Stargate' have OpenAI and Oracle striking some side deals, leaving SoftBank on the sidelines. Carl Quintanilla and Sara Eisen cover it all on Money Movers.

Stargate. Het had hét project van de toekomst moeten zijn. Een AI-project van 500 miljard dollar, van SoftBank, OpenAI en de Amerikaanse regering. Er zou volgens president Trump 'gelijk' 100 miljard worden geïnvesteerd en er zouden 100.000 banen bijkomen.Je raadt het al. Dat is niet gebeurd. Sterker: Volgens The Wall Street Journal is er nog geen enkel datacenter gebouwd. SoftBank en OpenAI zouden ruzie met elkaar maken. Dat is slecht nieuws voor Trump, voor de Amerikaanse economie en voor aandelen. Welke, dat hoor je deze aflevering.Krijg je ook een update over de tarieven van Trump. Zijn onderhandelaar wil meer tijd om er met de Chinezen uit te komen. Ondertussen werken de Europeanen aan een tegenaanval.Deze aflevering stellen we een aantal slachtoffers aan je voor. Slachtoffers van Trump, allemaal op hun eigen manier. Om te beginnen met NXP. De chipmaker ziet al vijf kwartalen de omzet én winst dalen. En het leed is nog niet voorbij, want NXP denkt dat de omzet ook in dit kwartaal (in het derde kwartaal) afneemt.AkzoNobel kampt vooral met de zwakke dollar. Die raakt de winst van Akzo. De omzet die in dollars wordt gehaald, is minder waard in euro’s. General Motors spant echter de kroon. Dat wordt gigantisch geraakt door Trumps tarieven. Het kost ze ruim een miljard dollar, voor heel dit jaar denken ze aan 4 tot 5 miljard dollar. En het meest bizarre: ze gaan het niet doorberekenen aan klanten.

OpenAI en Oracle zijn van plan om 4.5 gigawatt aan datacentercapaciteit toe te voegen aan het Stargate-project in de Verenigde Staten. Dat kondigt OpenAI aan op de eigen website, maar in de aankondiging staat niet toe hoe de ambities gerealiseerd moeten worden. Niels Kooloos vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. De aankondiging van OpenAI en Oracle komt vlak nadat ingewijden tegen The Wall Street Journal vertelden dat het Stargate-project dit jaar juist teruggeschaald gaat worden omdat de samenwerking met geldschieter Softbank moeizaam verloopt. Zo wordt er bijvoorbeeld beweerd dat OpenAI en Softbank het niet eens kunnen worden over de bouwlocaties van datacenters. Ondertussen wordt er in de aankondiging van OpenAI en Oracle juist benadrukt dat het aanwijzen van bouwlocaties heel snel gaat en dat de samenwerking met Softbank goed verloopt. Verder in deze Tech Update: Het Nationaal Cyber Security Centrum roept alle Nederlandse organisaties op om hun IT-systemen te controleren voor dezelfde kwetsbaarheid die in de systemen van het Openbaar Ministerie is ontdekt Secretaris-Generaal António Guterres van de Verenigde Naties wil dat AI-datacenters tegen 2030 alleen nog gebruik maken van hernieuwbare energie See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"WeWork: The Making and Breaking of a $46 Billion Unicorn" We take a trip down memory lane into the overpriced, overhyped fever dream that was WeWork. It's the story of Adam Neumann: part CEO, part cult leader, part megalomaniac who thinks renting desks can heal the world. We cover the delusional business plans of real estate disguised as tech, SoftBank's actions of dumping gasoline on the dumpster fire, and of course, Rebekah Paltrow Neumann's attempts to spiritually rebrand education. Here's the surprising twist: Corey has worked on-site at a WeWork event and he shares firsthand accounts of what it was like. He survived the weird startup vibes and lives to tell the tale of the inflated egos, yucky energy, and overzealous C-suite brainwashing.

John is joined by Spencer Collins, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of Arm Holdings, the UK-based semiconductor design firm known for powering over 99% of smartphones globally with its energy-efficient CPU designs.  They discuss the legal challenges that arise from Arm's unique position in the semiconductor industry. Arm has a unique business model, centered on licensing intellectual property rather than manufacturing processors. This model is evolving as Arm considers moving “up the stack,” potentially entering into processor production to compete more directly in the AI hardware space.  Since its $31 billion acquisition by SoftBank in 2016, Arm has seen tremendous growth, culminating in an IPO in 2023 at a $54 billion valuation and its market value nearly doubling since.AI is a major strategic focus for Arm, as its CPUs are increasingly central to AI processing in cloud and edge environments.  Arm's high-profile AI projects include Nvidia's Grace Hopper superchip and Microsoft's new AI server chips, both of which rely heavily on Arm CPU cores.   Arm is positioned to be a key infrastructure player in AI's future based on its broad customer base, the low power consumption of its semiconductors, and their extensive security features. Nvidia's proposed $40 billion acquisition of ARM collapsed due to regulatory pushback in the U.S., Europe, and China.  This led SoftBank to pivot to taking 10% of Arm public.  Arm is now aggressively strengthening its intellectual property strategy, expanding patent filings, and upgrading legal operations to better protect its innovations in the AI space.Spencer describes his own career path—from law firm M&A work to a leadership role at SoftBank's Vision Fund, where he worked on deals like the $7.7 billion Uber investment—culminating in his current post.   He suggests that general counsel for major tech firms must be intellectually agile, invest in best-in-class advisors, and maintain geopolitical awareness to navigate today's rapidly changing legal and regulatory landscape.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.
