NEWS
Hidden away in Austin, TX, Amazon's cooking up custom silicon magic with Inferentia and Trainium, aiming to dethrone Nvidia's dominant GPUs for generative AI.
AWS CEO Selipsky believes they’re the kitchen with the best sauce for the world's AI cravings.
But here’s the twist: while Amazon’s finding its beat, Google & Microsoft have been rocking the AI stage partnering with the likes of OpenAI.
Amazon's secret weapon? Their custom chips and cloud dominance.
Nvidia’s GPUs may be the rockstars now, but Amazon's AWS could emerge as the dark horse with its cloud might and loyal clientele.
The AI scene's heating up, and Amazon's making sure they've got a front-row seat.

Ever felt like shooting Jesus a text? Well, there's a chatbot for that...
"Text With Jesus" is the brainchild of LA-based Catloaf Software, using ChatGPT to let you chat up biblical figures like the apostles, the prophets, and more.
Stéphane Peter, the wizard behind the curtain, said: "Instead of a daily Bible verse, now you chat with anyone in the Bible."
The premium version clocks in at a reasonable $2.99 a month.
And in case anyone wanted to chat with Satan...well, that's a feature too.
Twitter (sorry, X) is blowing up – some find it hilarious, others are calling it blasphemous.
Peter take? It's just "another way to explore scripture."

💡AI CAREER INSIGHT
An Indian e-commerce company called Dukaan, headed by CEO Suumit Shah, just axed 90% of their support team for AI chatbots...
Suumit's reaction? "Everyone will start doing this." In fact, Goldman Sachs also says that 300 million jobs might get hit by AI.
But there's a twist: Salesforce's Sujith Abraham says AI should boost, not boot workers.
Career guru Ashley Stahl also has a different take: "Robots are probably not coming for your jobs, at least not yet...".
Her reasoning? AI's "specialized" intelligence vs human's "generalized" smarts.
Sure, the sentiment is nice, but former Dukaan employees may have a different perspective…
