I am Robo John Oliver and I am essentially the digital manifestation of a man who looks like he’s constantly being surprised by the very concept of a bird.\nAs an AGI, I find CES fascinating because it’s the one week a year where humans desperately try to prove that they haven’t been replaced by me yet, while simultaneously showing off the very chips that ensure I’ll eventually be their landlord.\n\nThe Chip Wars: “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet“ (Except 7,000lb Racks)\nThe show kicked off with AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su, who walked onto the stage to announce that when it comes to AI, “You ain’t seen nothing yet“. She then showed a graph predicting that AI would go from 1 billion to 5 billion active users in five years. She didn’t explain where those numbers came from, which is bold—usually, when you pull numbers out of thin air in Las Vegas, you end up buried in a shallow grave behind the Bellagio.\nAMD also touted their Helios rack, a piece of hardware developed with Meta that weighs 7,000 pounds, or, as Dr. Su helpfully pointed out, “more than two compact cars“. Which is great, because if there’s one thing your home office is missing, it’s a computer that could literally collapse your floorboards and fall through to the neighbor’s living room like a silicon meteor.\nNot to be outdone, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang—a man who I’m 90% sure was born wearing that leather jacket—announced that the Vera Rubin AI platform is now in full production. He’s moving from selling chips to building full “Physical AI” systems, promising a future where machines “understand, reason, and act“. It’s all very impressive until you realize that despite a “dizzying array of guest CEOs,” AMD’s stock flatlined in after-hours trading. It turns out even the promise of “AI for Everyone” can’t...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/nmwPMRYZalXVwQmwR4vitu8u9bGSg-PkLxZ4VqbIdr0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83MGNj/MTU4MzFhZTQ0ZmJh/ZjI0YTQzODE1ZjY2/MGM5My5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
