Three videos from September you should watch

Welcome to AI Collision 💥,

In today’s collision between AI and our world:

• Jensen Huang, again…
• AI safety but from an angle you might not expect.
• Eric Schmidt goes All-In.

If that’s enough to get the video’s rolling, read on…

AI Collision 💥

Apologies, because I had said I was going to do this at the end of every month, and then I think I did it once, and haven’t since!

My bad.

But the feedback I got when I did do this was great, so I will (try) to keep it as a regular monthly feature.

I watch a lot of things, listen to a lot of things, read a lot of things. And sometimes there are video that I think you should watch too to deepen your understanding of how big and impactful the changing nature of the AI roll out will be.

So here they are…

First off, yes, it’s another Jensen Huang video. But these are important as Nvidia is easily the most influential company in the world, bar none, right now. And they’re at the point end of where AI is heading, how it’s changing and the different waves of innovation and exploration we’ll see.

This video does a good job of deep diving into Nvidia’s latest moves (like the $100 billion OpenAI deal) and where AI is heading next.

I had a conversation with a friend the other day about who are some of the better interviewers out there. I named a few that I thought were pretty good, because they let the interviewee speak freely.

I think Steven Bartlett and the DOAC podcast/videos are very good at that. He can have a view, not always agree with the guest, but still allow them to present their view, and still get challenged on things when necessary.

This is a good, not alternative, but cautious interview about the direction of AI safety.

The All-In podcast guys had an “All-In Summit” the other week and a lot of big, big names from tech were there. There’s a lot of videos on the All-In podcast site, so check out more of them there. But this one with Eric Schmidt I thought was very good.

UK Recession Warning

The media has been wrong at every major turning point…

From Northern Rock… to the housing bubble… to inflation.

Now they’re warning Britain to brace for recession.

But one millionaire investor believes they’re wrong again.

Capital at risk.

Boomers & Busters 💰

AI and AI-related stocks moving and shaking up the markets this week. (All performance data below over the rolling week).

Boom 📈

• Everspin Technologies (NASDAQ:MRAM) up 22%
• Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC) up 19%
• Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) up 15%

Bust 📉

• Allegro Microsystems (NASDAQ:ALGM) down 8%
• Meta (NASDAQ:META) down 5%
• Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) down 4%

From the hive mind 🧠

• Nice to see a small, ambitious UK based AI company getting some healthy funding to develop their technologies. It’s not $200M at a $1 billion+ valuation, but it’s a start.
• I know plenty of doctors and lawyers that regularly use AI in their day-to-day work lives. It’s good, and it’s getting better, and the question is will it replace us, or will it be a colleague?
• I’m still not 100% sure if this is even a story or not. But (apparently) there are multiple Hollywood “talent agencies” that are looking to sign this AI actress for future jobs.
