Today’s podcast episode was created from the following stories:
“The virtuous cycle of AI has arrived” — NVIDIA’s CEO believes AI can address $100 trillion of the world’s industries as the market accelerates
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang says AI has entered a self-reinforcing “virtuous cycle,” as Big Tech pours more than $300 billion this year into data centers and startups, with NVIDIA alone investing $100 billion in OpenAI. He argues that a shift from general-purpose to accelerated computing is just beginning, potentially touching $100 trillion worth of global industries. While some call it a bubble, Huang frames the surge as a decade-long infrastructure buildout reshaping every layer of computing.
Google’s analytical October Workspace Drop simplifies data in Sheets, bolsters AI security
Google is rolling out Gemini-powered upgrades to Workspace: Sheets now understands multi-step prompts and can pull grounded web research directly into your grids, while Drive adds real-time ransomware detection that halts sync and enables bulk file restoration. Gmail introduces end-to-end encrypted email for Workspace, and Chat gains thread summaries and a “refine me” helper; Meet expands live speech translation. Creative users also get Veo 3.1 for more realistic, controllable AI video generation across Google apps.
I started using NotebookLM with Gemini and it’s a dream combo to work with
This workflow pairs Gemini for fast, sourced summaries and links with NotebookLM for grounded synthesis, querying, and even audio overviews. The result is a personal knowledge hub where videos, notes, and AI-sourced text live together, making high-level Q&A and reusable insights effortless. It’s a practical blueprint for turning scattered research into a trustworthy, always-on reference.
Why I turned off half the Samsung Galaxy S25’s new tricks — and loved it more
After initial wow moments, constant suggestions and auto-magic features began to interrupt focus, so the author disabled many Galaxy AI options and found the phone calmer and the battery better. The key takeaway: keep the quiet, on-demand helpers (like photo edits and Circle to Search) and ditch the intrusive prompts. Curating AI features can turn a flashy phone into a focused daily driver.
I tried Grokipedia and I think it beats Wikipedia — in some cases. (citation needed.)
Elon Musk’s Grokipedia sometimes improves sparse or messy Wikipedia entries by pulling in more sources and organizing information better, though it also shows bias and shaky citations. The experiment hints at how AI could help editors flesh out and polish Wikipedia pages, if guided and verified by humans. For now, it’s an interesting sandbox — not a replacement for Wikipedia’s community standards.
NEC、AIとLLMの導入で30％の人員をリストラへ 希望退職を実施
NEC plans to reduce its workforce by roughly 30% via voluntary retirements as it accelerates AI and large language model deployment to boost efficiency amid weak performance. The move has sparked debate in Japan about disruption risks, worker support, and whether AI-driven reorganizations will deliver promised gains. It’s a sign of how quickly enterprise automation is reshaping employment landscapes.
中国企業がデータセンターを海底へ。冷却と電力を、海と風でまかなうアイディア
A new project near Shanghai is testing underwater data centers powered mostly by offshore wind, aiming to slash water use and emissions while operating at 24MW capacity. Scientists warn that waste heat could alter local marine ecosystems, and global regulatory approaches vary widely between the U.S. and China. As AI demand surges, the experiment raises urgent questions about scaling compute without harming the oceans.
アドビの未来技術「Sneaks」まとめ：模索される“クリエイターのためのAI”
At Adobe MAX, the “Sneaks” showcase highlighted experimental, human-centered AI tools — from instant motion for illustrations and surgical noise removal to surface editing, 2D-to-3D depth, lighting control, intelligent object erasure, and multi-change video edits. Rather than replacing creators, the demos focus on speeding high-quality edits while keeping users in control. It’s a compelling glimpse at AI as a craft amplifier, not an autopilot.
