The Hearing Car: #AI and microphones are helping vehicles detect unseen hazards

“A human hears a siren and reacts—even before seeing where the sound is coming from. An autonomous vehicle has to do the same if it’s going to coexist with us.”

To make good on either the AMD deal announced today or a similar one with Nvidia announced earlier, OpenAI will need to expand its Stargate datacenter initiative massively.

Stargate isn’t big enough yet to make OpenAI-AMD-Nvidia work

Comment: Since revealing Stargate in January, Altman and friends have brought about 200 MW online - they'll need at least 16 GW to claim their red and green prize

Data centers aren’t just driving up electric bills.

Insatiable demand from AI is consuming the world's memory and storage supply.

Manufacturers are redirecting production, creating a supply squeeze that is driving up prices for SSDs, DRAM, and HDDs for years to come.

AI data centers are swallowing the world's memory and storage supply, setting the stage for a pricing apocalypse that could last a decade

Once-cheap SSDs, DRAM, and HDD prices are climbing fast as AI demand and constrained supply converge to create the tightest market in years.
