This week's Connected newsletter explores the tech world's biggest conversations, including the $500 billion Stargate AI infrastructure initiative, TikTok's potential buyers, and the latest developments from rival AI companies.
This week's Connected newsletter delves into the tech world's biggest conversations, starting with the ambitious $500 billion Stargate AI infrastructure initiative. Led by Softbank, OpenAI, and Oracle, Stargate has sparked both excitement and skepticism. While proponents see its potential to revolutionize AI, Elon Musk , OpenAI's former co-founder, expressed doubts about its funding viability.
The debate has reignited tensions between Musk and OpenAI's leadership, with OpenAI's CFO, Sarah Friar, urging Musk to cease using legal tactics to compete with ChatGPT. Beyond Stargate, the news is abuzz with developments surrounding social media app TikTok. Rumors swirl about potential buyers, including Elon Musk and Oracle chairman Larry Ellison, as part of a US government-backed joint venture. Meanwhile, rival AI companies are making waves. OpenAI competitor Anthropic secured another $1 billion investment from Google, adding to its previous $2 billion funding. Amazon, another prominent backer of Anthropic, is known for its ChatGPT rival Claude. Samsung launched its latest Galaxy smartphone series, featuring AI-powered enhancements to attract consumers. On the infrastructure front, Microsoft is reportedly considering building three subsea cables connecting Ireland to Britain, fostering stronger digital ties between the two countries. The Connected magazine returns this weekend with a jam-packed issue exploring various tech trends, from a potential US-Europe tech showdown to a beginner's guide to AI agents and the prospects of quantum computing. Mark Little, the former founder of Kinzen and Storyful, joins as a columnist, offering insights into Silicon Valley's shift towards an 'America First' approach.
