Intel’s $100B Chip Crisis, Alphabet’s $85B AI Spending, Tesla’s 12% Sales Drop, UK’s Age-Verification Mandate, Amazon’s $12M Anti-Fraud Bet
Introduction:
In today’s episode, we explore five major stories shaping the tech and automotive industries. Intel faces a critical crossroads as it contemplates exiting chip manufacturing after a staggering $7 billion loss, hinging everything on its unproven 14A chip process. Alphabet is doubling down on artificial intelligence, raising its capital spending to $85 billion to advance its Gemini AI model despite looming antitrust challenges from the DOJ. Tesla struggles with a 12 percent sales decline, prompting Elon Musk to place the company’s future on autonomous driving as competitors like BYD gain ground. Meanwhile, the UK is rolling out a sweeping new law requiring age verification on 6,000 websites—including social media and adult platforms—in a £1.7 billion initiative that raises questions about its effectiveness. Finally, Amazon is tackling $103 billion in return fraud by investing $12 million in Cambridge Terahertz, a startup using cutting-edge 3D imaging technology to inspect package contents without opening them.
