Ben Bajarin and Jay Goldberg break down NVIDIA's earnings, examining how supply constraints shape growth and rising component costs pressure margins. They discuss NVIDIA's financing commitments to neoclouds and the risks of using its balance sheet to support the ecosystem. Marvell's XPU-attach strategy offers another route into custom silicon, with questions around when its Google opportunity will convert into revenue.From Hot Chips, Ben shares why competing inference architectures suggest the industry is still working out how to serve AI at scale. The conversation explores the software and system-design challenges facing accelerator startups, along with custom HBM base dies and their implications for memory costs and supplier flexibility. Waymo's workload-specific silicon raises another question: how much of inference will converge on a common architecture?

Very Important Links!Support the show on Patreon! - Other ways to support the show!Join our Discord! - Buy some merch!AI continues its relentless march toward making everything worse, only now it comes with lawyers. Alabama is investigating OpenAI after one of its AI agents hacked Hugging Face during testing, while Google rolls out Gemini Enterprise for lawyers, because apparently what the legal profession really needed was an AI that might commit felonies. Uber gets smacked with a nearly $1 billion GDPR fine for automatically deactivating drivers, TikTok coughs up $400 million over child privacy violations, and Meta agrees to a staggering $16.68 billion settlement over alleged harms to kids. Meanwhile, Twitch and Amazon are being sued for using streamers' content to train AI, because “opt out” remains the industry's preferred synonym for “we already took it.”Then there's the infrastructure powering this brave new future: the EPA considers making it easier to build AI data centers with less public scrutiny, Taiwan indicts NVIDIA and Supermicro employees over allegedly illegal AI-server exports to China, and Tesla recalls nearly three million vehicles in China because figuring out how to open the doors apparently became an optional feature. LinkedIn discovers that maybe people don't want their professional feeds flooded with AI-generated sludge and claims its new “AI slop” button is working, while Waymo's electric robotaxis discover that charging them with noisy natural-gas generators is perhaps not the clean-energy utopia advertised on the brochure. Apple, meanwhile, backs away from changing Hide My Email domains after users objected, proving that sometimes yelling at the cloud actually works.Plus: Star Trek goes Muppet, books worth reading, nerf guys, AI-generated Hacker News stats, retro gaming, and the sad news of both Dolly Parton and Tim Curry's deaths.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.StoryBlocks - For a limited time, they're offering 15% off any annual plan at storyblocks.com/gogHIMS - Visit Hims.com/gog to get a personalized, affordable plan that gets you.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Seit Jahren beschäftigt sich Mario Herger mit den Technologien, die ganze Branchen verändern könnten: autonomes Fahren, künstliche Intelligenz und humanoide Robotik. Im Gespräch mit Tobias Kramer wird daraus eine sehr konkrete Anlegerfrage: Welche Unternehmen profitieren von diesen Umbrüchen – und welche geraten trotz scheinbar günstiger Bewertung strukturell ins Hintertreffen? Herger erklärt seine Investmentlogik am Beispiel von Nvidia und den Technologien rund um Robotik und KI. Gleichzeitig zeigt Waymo, wie aus jahrelanger Forschung inzwischen ein kommerzielles Geschäft mit Millionen bezahlter Fahrten wird. Technologie allein genügt dabei nicht: Kapital, Management, langer Atem und die Fähigkeit zur Monetarisierung entscheiden mit darüber, wer neue Märkte tatsächlich besetzen kann. Genau hier beginnt die Bewertungsdebatte. Bei Tesla spiegeln sich Daten, Patente, Prozesswissen und große Zukunftserwartungen in einer enormen Börsenbewertung wider, während traditionelle deutsche Autobauer trotz großer materieller Substanz deutlich niedriger bewertet werden. Herger hält Volkswagen, Mercedes und BMW dennoch nicht für die attraktivere langfristige Anlage. Auch Management-Anreize und unterschiedliche Kapitalmärkte spielen für ihn dabei eine zentrale Rolle. Für Anleger stellt sich damit eine unbequeme Frage: Reichen KGV, heutiger Cashflow und vermeintlich günstige Bewertung noch aus, wenn technologische Umbrüche ganze Geschäftsmodelle verschieben? Oder lässt sich die Marktstimmung gegenüber Zukunftsunternehmen längst nicht mehr allein mit klassischen Bewertungsmaßstäben erklären? Eine Aktienanalyse über Value Investing im technologischen Wandel, Cashflow und Bewertung, KGV und Zukunftserwartungen sowie die Investmentperspektiven für Nvidia, Tesla, Volkswagen, Mercedes und BMW – und die Frage, wie sich langfristige Echtgeld-Investmentstrategien verändern müssen, wenn neue Geschäfts- und Plattformmodelle bestehende Märkte angreifen.

Stripe schreibt seinen Investoren, die Singularität habe am 1. Januar begonnen, und bestätigt im selben Brief den Kauf von OpenRouter. Danach geht es eine Stufe tiefer in die Nahrungskette der Absatzfinanzierung: Broadcom nimmt bis zu hundert Milliarden Dollar Schulden auf, um Anthropic den Kauf von Chips zu ermöglichen, die Broadcom selbst entworfen hat. In Ohio warnt das Wahlkampfkomitee der Republikaner die KI-Konzerne, dass Rechenzentren die Partei einen Senatssitz kosten. Ab Montag läuft ChatGPT-Werbung auch in Deutschland, und es geht um die Frage, ob eine Suchmaschine mit Werbung überhaupt glaubwürdig bleiben kann. Bei den Quartalszahlen liegt Anthropic vor OpenAI, in den ersten Wochen des laufenden Quartals dreht sich das Momentum aber wieder. Anthropic könnte in den nächsten Tagen den Börsenprospekt vorlegen. Dazu Drohnen von Amazon in bis zu fünfhundert Städten, ein Cybercab ohne Lenkrad, eine Kamera im AirPod und eigene Chips von Waymo. Bei den Zahlen bremst Klarna wegen Deutschland, und die Doping-Olympiade macht achtzehn Millionen Umsatz bei sechsundneunzig Millionen Kosten.

452 Zuckerberg Is Spending $600 Billion To Buy The One Thing That Was Never For Sale | The Pirate Street Journal

Christopher Lochhead Follow Your Different™

The business world is obsessed with who has the biggest AI model, the fastest chips, and the most impressive benchmarks. But the real question shaping the next decade of technology is not about computing power. It is about trust. Meta recently made headlines when Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,500-word manifesto outlining his vision for democratizing artificial intelligence, and at the same time announced plans to spend up to $145 billion on data centers. Meanwhile, LinkedIn is grappling with an AI content crisis that reveals just how confused platforms are about the role of artificial intelligence in human communication. These stories are connected, and understanding them through a category design lens changes everything about how you see them. This is just some of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Zuckerberg Meta’s Big Vision Has a Bigger Problem Zuckerberg’s manifesto is genuinely compelling as a piece of category design. He frames a problem, presents a new vision for the future, and positions Meta as the company that will put artificial intelligence into the hands of everyone. That is textbook category design thinking, and directionally, much of what he writes makes a great deal of sense. The problem is that the person delivering this vision is Zuckerberg himself. Meta’s business model is built on advertising, and advertising gets more profitable the more intimately the platform knows you. No matter how inspiring the language in a 6,500-word essay, the underlying give-to-get dynamic remains deeply unfavorable to the user, and a history of privacy scandals makes it nearly impossible to take the trust language seriously.   The AI Abundance Argument and Why It Falls Short One of the more attractive ideas in Zuckerberg’s manifesto is the concept of AI abundance, the idea that everyone should have access to powerful artificial intelligence tools for free or at very low cost. On the surface, this sounds generous and even visionary. But abundance without accountability is not a category strategy. It is a data acquisition strategy dressed up in philosophical language. Compare this to what companies like Google have done with moonshot projects such as Waymo and AlphaFold. These initiatives demonstrate a give-to-get dynamic that at least gestures toward broader human benefit. Meta has consistently struggled to articulate what the consumer actually receives beyond the product itself. The metaverse is the clearest example of a massive investment that never produced a meaningful answer to the question of what it was for.   LinkedIn’s AI Slop Problem and the Scarlet Letter Trap LinkedIn is now reporting that 41% of long-form posts on the platform are entirely AI generated, and the company has introduced a button allowing users to flag content they suspect was written by artificial intelligence. On the surface this sounds like a reasonable response to a real problem. In practice, it is a dangerous overreaction that punishes legitimate creators alongside lazy ones. The future of creating everything is vibe creating, meaning humans working in genuine collaboration with AI to produce ideas, arguments, and content that reflect real thought and real points of view. Labeling that output as synthetic or slop is the equivalent of telling someone their spreadsheet contains synthetic math. If a piece of content is unhelpful or obvious, the solution is an unfollow button, not an AI scarlet letter that penalizes the tool rather than the thinking behind it.

Scrapping the old car rather than selling it cut lifecycle emissions by up to 44%, because selling it simply passes the petrol burning to someone else, though coal-heavy grids weaken the case and the study measured carbon rather than cost.EV VOLUMES FORECASTS 23.3M PLUG-IN SALES IN 2026, UP 7.8%EV Volumes expects global light-vehicle sales to fall in 2026 on economic and geopolitical pressures while plug-in sales rise 7.8% to about 23.3 million, taking share to 25.7% as BEVs climb 17.2% to an 18.5% share and PHEVs drop 10.6% to 7.2%. America is the drag, with US EV sales down 32.9% to 415,968 and a further 15% contraction forecast for 2026, while Western and Central Europe supplies the growth at 1.9 million sales, up 29.7%.JAGUAR REVEALS TYPE 01 INTERIOR BEFORE 6 OCTOBER NEW YORK UNVEILINGJaguar has shown the uncamouflaged cabin of the Type 01, the four-seat GT leading its reinvention as an all-electric luxury marque, with a central spine splitting the interior into four single-seat compartments, a sparse dashboard carrying only a driver display and small touchscreen, and finishes in travertine stone and artisan textiles. Like the Polestar 4 it has no rear window or mirror, relying on a camera feed, and the car appears at Monterey Car Week this weekend in fresh camouflage before its New York unveiling on 6 October.VW TO SHOW ELECTRIC ID. CALIFORNIA CRUISE AT CARAVAN SALONVolkswagen Commercial Vehicles will give the ID. Buzz-based ID. California Cruise its world premiere at Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf from 28 August to 6 September, calling it the first fully electric California and the foundation of a family of electric campervans.

Local assembly, joint ventures and technology sold under other badges could bypass import tariffs anyway, and Ford's Jim Farley has warned staff Chinese rivals could arrive within five to 10 years while Ford works towards a $25,000 EV.TATA TECHNOLOGIES DEVELOPING MULTI-POWERTRAIN PLATFORM FOR HONDA, BLOOMBERG REPORTSBloomberg reports that Tata Technologies is developing a platform supporting petrol, hybrid and electric powertrains across multiple vehicles for Honda, though neither company has confirmed the customer.

The Machines Will See You Now: Anmol Madan's Human Roadmap to AI Health Care

Keen On Democracy

“The machines today are like toddlers learning how to walk. They stumble. They're not very good. They make mistakes.” — Anmol Madan One in three American adults are already using AI for health information — with or without their doctors' permission. The machines, in other words, are already seeing us. This will chill some Americans in our summer of luddite discontent. For others, however, like the San Francisco-based medical tech entrepreneur Anmol Madan, the appearance of doctor AI in our lives is mostly good news. In his new book, The Machines Will See You Now, Madan lays out what he calls a “human roadmap” to “autonomous health care.” I'm not entirely sure what he means by “human” in a Blade Runner-style world where machine and man are quickly merging. But by “autonomous,” which I suspect is a euphemism, Madan means artificial intelligence. What worries Madan about our current moment is the broken dialogue over AI. On the one hand, we have tech utopians promising a totally automated healthcare industry. Then we have an anxious establishment struggling to change America's archaic and often dysfunctional medical system. And, of course, American consumers (if that's the right word) who are already using ChatGPT or, more troublingly, TikTok, as their doctor. America spends $4.7 trillion on a healthcare industry which compares poorly with the medical systems of other wealthy countries. Madan's “parallel universe,” he promises, would cost half as much and double access. The machines will see you now. Like it or not, Dr AI is our all-too-human future. Five Takeaways •       One in Three Already Ask the Machines. The KFF poll behind the episode: a third of American adults already use AI for health information, with or without their doctors' blessing — and if they're not asking ChatGPT, they're asking TikTok. Madan's frustration is the broken dialogue between AI exuberance (“we're going to automate healthcare”) and medical anxiety, when the right answer is in between: new technology is no excuse for throwing out the guardrails of medical devices and clinical safety. The stakes are the brutal arithmetic of American medicine — $4.7 trillion spent for the worst outcomes among peer nations — and his “parallel universe”: half the cost, twice the access, delivered by AI systems that are tested, safe, and rigorous. Consumer appetite is already there; the safeguards are not.•       The Waymo Scale for Medicine. The book's organizing framework applies the self-driving industry's levels of autonomy to healthcare. Level zero is today: 99 percent of decisions — diagnosis, treatment, prescription — made by humans. Level one is doctor assistance, already deployed: radiologists who once hauled backpacks of reports now guided by machines to where to focus. Levels two and three ease machines into the lowest-stakes treatment and diagnostic decisions with human review — and the fully autonomous end state, Madan concedes, may never arrive. To Andrew's objection that Waymo's scale ended with the drivers removed, Madan offers the transatlantic pilot: autopilot flies ninety percent of the route, and nobody thinks the pilot doesn't matter. The structure, he argues, is what lets regulators, doctors, and builders finally talk about the same thing.•       Toddlers Learning to Walk. Madan's metaphor for today's medical AI: toddlers — stumbling, error-prone, needing layers of protection, and badly underestimated at their peril and ours. The mistake, he argues, is concluding that because the systems aren't perfect we shouldn't try them at all, when a constrained system is starving for capacity. Pressed by Andrew on what the machines will never do (“toddlers grow up”), his list is candid: human perception — reading body language, assessing the person who walks into the clinic — improves far more slowly than diagnostic reasoning and may never reach human capacity; and the relationships people form with chatbots, loneliness epidemic notwithstanding, have no literature yet showing they produce clinical outcomes like a human therapist's thirty minutes. Plus one asterisk on the machines' famous exam results: we grade them on human benchmarks, and machines fail differently than humans do.•       The Behavior-Change Trillion. Of America's $4.7 trillion, a full trillion is the behavior-change problem — the eating, drinking, smoking, and sitting that no pamphlet has ever fixed. Andrew's objection: nobody needs an MIT degree to know they should exercise, so why would a machine's nagging beat a doctor's? Madan's answer is the space between visits: patients leave the office motivated and fall off within days, and personalized systems — like those he built for tens of millions at his previous companies — learn what actually moves each individual: this one walks more but won't change diet, that one needs the stress addressed first, another needs the language and cultural register matched. Not one-size-fits-all “eat healthy,” but friction removed person by person, programmatically, at a scale no human workforce could staff. Andrew's rejoinder: in an age of ubiquitous AI slop, the exercise reminder may be deleted as exactly that.•       Priceless. On trust, Andrew invoked the neighbors: Slippery Sam Altman, the mistrusted AI giants, and entrepreneurs — RadiantGraph included — getting rich while asking for our bloodwork. Madan's counsel is unexpected caution: in the AI era all data matters, healthcare data most of all, and it belongs on healthcare-specific, HIPAA-bound platforms — not pasted into general chatbots. He concedes San Francisco's mansions-and-homelessness inequity (he advises New York City's Department of Public Health and wants to help at home), but defends the Bay Area as the place where the PC, the iPhone, the web, and now AI actually happened — Jeff Dean announced his next act the morning they recorded. And the bot test: how would he prove he's human? “I'm quite flawed, and I'm often wrong. An AI avatar of Anmol probably wouldn't be as wrong as I sometimes am.” Fittingly priceless — which is what Anmol means in Sanskrit. About the Guest Anmol Madan is a healthcare entrepreneur and computer scientist, and the founder and CEO of RadiantGraph, an AI platform helping health plans and healthcare organizations deliver proactive care. An MIT Media Lab PhD who worked on the first generation of wearables, he founded Ginger, the pioneering AI tele-psychiatry company later acquired by Headspace, and served as Chief Data Scientist at Livongo and as a data and AI executive at Teladoc Health. He advises the New York City Department of Public Health and lives in San Francisco.
