On the "Decoder" podcast, he estimated that building and outfitting a one-gigawatt AI data center costs $80 billion, with industry plans for 100 gigawatts potentially requiring $8 trillion in capital expenditure. That would demand $800 billion in profits just to cover interest. He pegged the likelihood of achieving artificial general intelligence with current technology at "between zero and one percent."

SAN JOSE Two tech companies, IBM and Infineon, have disclosed new rounds of employment cutbacks that will erase the jobs of more than 100 tech workers in the Bay Area.

I started thinking about a career in tech in middle school. I was born with neurofibromatosis, a condition that causes tumors to grow on nerves.As a preteen, I was introduced by a school nurse to an organization called the Little Baby Face Foundation that helped treat the tumors. I knew then I wasn't going to let my condition affect my career path.

I wanted to help clarify some of the details and address any misconceptions that exist. IBM has been spearheading the development of breakthrough technologies in Silicon Valley for over 60 years and we are very proud of our work across the region and at the Almaden site.

This fragmentation leads to higher costs and limits developers' abilities to effectively collaborate and innovate, which is crucial in today's fast-paced tech landscape.

We're actually quite happy for it, most of us sitting in this room at least.

IBM is facing significant challenges this week with a recent cloud outage disrupting services, alongside the revelation of a critical vulnerability in its QRadar security products.
