카자흐스탄, 엔비디아와 협력하는 파이어버드와 100억 달러 규모 AI 프로젝트 협약 체결 $NVDA, $DELL, $VRT

카자흐스탄은 엔비디아(Nvidia)가 지원하는 스타트업 파이어버드(Firebird Inc.)와 컴퓨팅 프로젝트 관련 협약을 체결했습니다. 이번 협약으로 최대 100억 달러 규모의 투자가 유치될 전망이며, 중앙아시아의 주요 에너지 생산국인 카자흐스탄은 자국을 인공지능(AI) 허브로 자리매김하기 위한 발판을 마련했습니다.

카자흐스탄 AI 및 디지털 개발부의 발표에 따르면, 이번 협약에는 AI 인프라 개발을 위한 전략적 협력 방안이 담겨 있습니다. 또한, 카자흐스탄 북동부에 건설 예정인 대규모 '데이터 센터 밸리(Data Center Valley)' 프로젝트에 대한 조건들도 포함되었습니다.

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available

And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.

It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.

But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.

I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.

@Jrag0x Was a kid but yes internet wasn’t even recognized as legitimate platform of any relevance and fact, it was much better then btw. And now you google things rather than ask around. And everything is attention bait

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

@rishi_raj_jain_ @johnloeber Really depends on industry and context I think.
Usually some sort intermediaries (outstaff agencies)take risks or it is relatively small projects that contract individually. Otherwise it is a matter of risk appetite and other constraints. From personal experience.

[AK @kochemassov]

@rishi_raj_jain_ @johnloeber Why would you hire someone to develop software from jurisdiction you have no stake in? What would be the point of contract?
