Alan Shimel, Mike Vizard, Garima Bajpai, Jeff Reich, and Stephen Foskett, president of the Tech Field Day arm of the Futurum Group, unpack the implications of the $38 billion alliance between OpenAI and Amazon Web Services (AWS) — a move that could reshape AI infrastructure and raise questions about sustainability and GPU monopolization.
The gang also discusses Tesla’s plan to integrate next-generation GPUs into vehicles, analyzing whether it’s technically feasible or just hype. The episode wraps with a look at the latest ransomware trends, how improved backups and cyber insurance are reducing their impact, and why education remains the most powerful defense against evolving threats.
