This was interesting to write (and hopefully to read). When see how many GPUs it take to train an LLM - 24,000 Nvidia H100s for Llama 3 - then you can understand how AI is driving the chip giant's revenues. How Nvidia took the world by storm by me @ITPro https://t.co/wHYIBkilUM

I took a look at why AI matters so much for where networking Cisco goes next. I think it maybe tells a different story about who is going to really win in the generative AI world. https://t.co/qf46hWSgXs

Most developers will soon use an AI pair programmer — but don’t expect giant leaps in productivity.

Tech isn’t ever going to be a vote winner (unless your platform involves free iPhones or something). But that’s a symptom of a wider problem. The political classes have consistently underestimated the potential impact of technology: that needs to change. https://t.co/bftFKPb5XY
