This week we're taking pleasure in misfortunes of others; discussing Intel’s technical difficulties, Elon Musk encroaching on our turf, and robot poetry.
We start with Intel, which is having problems with the 7nm process that are causing delays across its lineup and could put an end to a long tradition of self-reliance in silicon printing.
Then Elon Musk we don’t like, for a whole assortment of business-related reasons. Last week, the living legend made some dubious claims about AI – likely intended to drum up interest in his equally dubious startup Neuralink, a developer of brain-machine interfaces which has raised $158 million to date with nothing but a launch video and a white paper to show the public.
Plus, we talk about the story Tesla apparently doesn’t want you to see.
