No surprise that #AI is the hot topic in this Davos roundup from ⁦⁦@danielnewmanUV⁩ but interesting to hear the different takes, including both ⁦@CheckPointSW⁩ and ⁦@infleqtion⁩ touching on the intersection of #quantum and AI. forbes.com/sites/danielnewma…

Welcome to Fab 9, Intel’s newest factory in New Mexico. It will manufacture Intel’s 3D advanced packaging technologies like Foveros, which offers a faster, cost-efficient path to 1 trillion transistors on a chip and extending Moore’s Law beyond 2030. intel.ly/3HxvTv4

Assuming these reports are true, what an own goal for a well known brand. Why not just be up front about the fact they are experimenting with AI generated content?

At SC23, we saw a terrifyingly quick co-packaged optics demo with the Ayar Labs TeraPHY 4Tbps optical tiles and pluggable connectors servethehome.com/ayar-labs-t… @AyarLabs

Fascinating read on Jensen/Nvidia. Resilience, risk taking, some healthy paranoia (“our company is 30 days from going out of business”) and extreme focus.
Nvidia became one of the biggest companies in the world by developing a new kind of chip that’s powering the A.I. revolution. “There’s a war going on out there in A.I., and Nvidia is the only arms dealer,” one Wall Street analyst said. nyer.cm/ljFaKNG

I can already imagine both of my kids trying to use “rapid unscheduled disassembly” as a way to explain they just broke something.
Elon Musk’s Starship has experienced another “rapid unscheduled disassembly.” SpaceX will try again, of course—NASA’s plans for the next moon landing depend on it, @marinakoren writes. theatlantic.com/science/arch…

Looking forward to checking out #SC23 next week. I’ll be there with @AyarLabs and it’s my first event with @VoxusPR. Can’t wait to connect with many new and existing friends. For those I haven’t already tracked down via other channels, DM me if you are going/have time to meet up!

The optical FPGA has the potential to transform the HPC landscape for data-intensive workloads such as generative AI, ML, and support novel new disaggregated compute and memory architectures and more.

One of the coolest demos at the #IntelInnovation keynote with @PGelsinger is on-device generative #AI with @RewindAI. Turning off Wi-Fi to show the query can comb all your local data to brief you on meetings, summarize content, craft an email + more. See: rewind.ai/
