It might not feel all that different from older World Cups--for better or worse. Waymo, the Alphabet subsidiary offering robotaxi rides in 11 US metros right now, says it's ready for the FIFA World Cup . Match attendees can catch driverless rides to six of the 16 North American venues: stadiums in Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, and the San Francisco Bay Area. The sprawling football event, expected to attract some 6.5 million visitors to the continent over more than a month, could prove an exciting close-up for Waymo . The company says it's serving half-a-million paid rides a week--paltry stuff compared to the likes of ride-hail giants Uber and Lyft, but more impressive once you remember that the things don't have drivers.

'It's going much too fast': the inside story of the race to create the ultimate AI On the 8.49am train through Silicon Valley, the tables are packed with young people glued to laptops, earbuds in, rattling out code. As the northern California hills scroll past, instructions flash up on screens from bosses: fix this bug; add new script. There is no time to enjoy the view. These commuters are foot soldiers in the global race towards artificial general intelligence - when AI systems become as or more capable than highly qualified humans. Here in the Bay Area of San Francisco, some of the world's biggest companies are fighting it out to gain some kind of an advantage. And, in turn, they are competing with China. This race to seize control of a technology that could reshape the world is being fuelled by bets in the trillions of dollars by the US's most powerful capitalists. Passengers get off a train at Palo Alto station.

Over 700 people at Apple have recently lost their jobs, according to the latest WARN report posted by the Employment Development Department of California (EDD). Most of the people who were laid off worked at Apple's offices in Santa Clara, with 371 of them coming from the company location that primarily dealt with the company's now-defunct electric vehicle project. Under California law, companies are required to file a report with the EDD for each location affected by layoffs under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) program. Eight Apple locations in Santa Clara were hit by layoffs, including the main car office, though one of them worked on its in-house MicroLED display project that was reportedly scrapped in March due to costs and technical difficulties. The company was hoping to produce its own screens for iPhones, Macs and its smartwatches, but that clearly isn't happening anytime soon.

The unique capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), such as the natural language text generation ability, position them as strong candidates for providing explanation for recommendations. However, despite the size of the LLM, most existing models struggle to produce zero-shot explanations reliably. To address this issue, we propose a framework called Logic-Scaffolding, that combines the ideas of aspect-based explanation and chain-of-thought prompting to generate explanations through intermediate reasoning steps. In this paper, we share our experience in building the framework and present an interactive demonstration for exploring our results.

Colovore, provider of the most efficient and scalable colocation solutions in the Bay Area, announced its second data center location in Santa Clara. Located at 3060 Raymond St. and immediately adjacent to its existing data center at 1101 Space Park Drive, the new facility will deliver another 9MW of liquid-cooled, high-density colocation capacity featuring standard 50 kW per rack capacities for customers deploying modern, high-performance A.I., Machine Learning, and Big Data applications and servers. The first phase of capacity will be delivered in Q1 2024. "Companies of all sizes and across all industry verticals continue to deploy more and more compute-intensive servers and they want to optimize those deployments and IT footprints" Since Colovore's launch in 2013, the growth in data-driven applications and processing-intensive computing platforms has been exponential. The modern servers underlying these applications require 10-20x the amount of power and cooling to operate reliably versus just ten years ago, driven principally by advances at the CPU and GPU processing level.

The road to maturity for any technology in the enterprise is long and arduous. Take data and analytics platforms as an example. Data from 451 Research's Voice of the Enterprise series in March found a third of companies surveyed were still yet to fully embrace a data-driven approach to strategic decision making. If that is the case, whither artificial intelligence? Writing for Enterprise Talk earlier this month, Swapnil Mishra notes of businesses still being in the'AI adolescence' phase, citing research from Accenture which found 63% of 1,200 companies polled were still experimenting with projects.
