Wall Street analysts explain how AMD’s own stock will pay for OpenAI’s billions in chip purchases

After AMD and OpenAI announced an expanded partnership on Monday, the chatter immediately turned to the unusual way OpenAI would pay for its AMD purchases. It will use AMD’s own stock to do so. To recap: OpenAI has agreed to help AMD refine its line of Nvidia competitor chips, the Instinct GPUs, as well as to purchase and deploy 6 gigawatts of compute capacity from AMD over multiple years. AMD said this deal is worth billions in revenue. But OpenAI isn’t paying for this out of its own revenues

Michael Dell says 'at some point there'll be too many' AI data centers, but not yet

Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell said Tuesday that while demand for computing power is "tremendous," the production of artificial intelligence data centers will eventually top out. "I'm sure at some point there'll be too many of these things built, but we don't see any signs of that," Dell said on "Closing Bell: Overtime." The hardware maker's server networking business grew 58% last year and was up 69% last quarter, Dell said. As large language models have evolved to more multimodal and mul

User ban controversy reveals Bluesky’s decentralized aspiration isn’t reality

When it launched in 2023 in private beta, Bluesky was pitched as a different kind of social network, one that placed openness and user-friendliness at its core. It came along at just the right moment as Elon Musk’s purchase and takeover of Twitter led millions of users head toward any type of exit. The initial destination for many was Mastodon, but its Linux geek ethos and system of numerous “federated” servers that communicate via the open-source ActivityPub protocol proved to be too complicat

Listeria Alert Issued for Hello Fresh Meals

Health officials in the U.S. have issued an alert over possible listeria in Hello Fresh ready-to-eat meals. Two products shipped to consumers containing spinach could be contaminated with listeria, which can cause serious health problems or even death in vulnerable people. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued the health alert late Monday after FreshRealm, a contractor that produces the meals for Hello Fresh, conducted regular tests on its spinach

HelloFresh Meal Kits Recalled Amid Listeria Concerns

Two HelloFresh meal kits have been recalled by the US Department of Agriculture due to potential contamination by the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes. HelloFresh is working alongside the USDA to reach out to customers who bought the affected products, which are the "Cheesy Pulled Pork Pepper Pasta" and "Unstuffed Peppers with Ground Turkey" ready-made meals. The contaminated ingredient in the two affected meal kits is spinach, which may have Listeria monocytogenes present. HelloFresh sources it

Ted Cruz Targets Wikipedia Over ‘Ideological Bias’

Senator Ted Cruz of Texas sent a letter to the nonprofit operator of Wikipedia alleging a pattern of liberal bias in articles on the collaborative encyclopedia. "I write to request information about ideological bias on the Wikipedia platform and at the Wikimedia Foundation," Cruz wrote to Wikimedia Foundation CEO Maryana Iskander in a letter dated October 3. "Wikipedia began with a noble concept: Crowdsource human knowledge using verifiable sources and make it free to the public. That's what ma

Oracle stock slips on report company is seeing thin cloud margins from Nvidia chips

Oracle stock slipped 3% on Tuesday after a report from The Information that raised questions about the company's plans to buy billions of Nvidia chips to rent as a cloud provider to clients like OpenAI. Oracle had 14% gross margins on $900 million in sales in its Nvidia cloud business in the three months ending in August, according to the report, which cited internal documents. That's significantly lower than Oracle's overall gross margin of around 70%. The report said that Oracle's recent tra

Scientists Prove That Human Gut Bacteria Can Survive a Trip to Space Without Us

Space travel is not for the weak. Astronauts endure motion sickness, disorientation, cardiovascular stress—and that’s before they even reach orbit. Luckily, the bacteria that lives inside us is far more resilient. A new study shows that a gut bacteria essential for human health can survive the stress of being launched into space aboard a rocket, the microgravity environment, and reentry into Earth’s atmosphere. A group of scientists in Australia launched spores of Bacillus subtilis, a gram-posi
