An intern in Shanghai who won an RTX 5060 while attending an Nvidia Roadshow event unexpectedly found himself at a crossroads with his own company. Since it was won on a business trip paid for by the company, the firm demanded the 5060 be handed in.

The first is an alleged 10-core Core Ultra 3 SKU from a well-known tipster, while the second sample appears to be an accurate pre-production model, as it lacks LP-E cores, which all Panther Lake silicon is expected to have.

The Information
At Tesla’s annual meeting earlier this month, shareholders showed little enthusiasm for a proposal that the electric vehicle maker invest in one of CEO Elon Musk’s other companies, xAI.

We’re moving off the (unresolved) AI bubble debate to a much more fundamental question about AI. That is whether decisions about an enormously costly technology, which threatens to put many people out of work, should be left to tech leaders or discussed more broadly. It turns out Republicans may have the best handle on this issue, most obviously Florida governor Ron DeSantis. He’s long been vocal about the threat AI... Read more ›

After OpenAI researchers heard that Google had created a new AI that appears to have leapfrogged OpenAI’s in the way it was developed, Altman said in the memo that “we know we have some work to do but...

For 15 years, Goldman Sachs’ private tech conference in Las Vegas has been the event for taking the pulse of startup dealmaking. Years ago, it was possible to run into founders such as Uber’s Travis Kalanick and Instagram’s Kevin Systrom raising money for their then-small startups. The conference is much bigger now (which makes some investors grumble), but it remains a nexus for investors who want to throw money at... Read more ›
