It isn't your imagination: Google Cloud is flooding the zone
Aside from Alphabet’s own forays into AI, they’re also selling pickaxes to most other AI prospectors.
It’s a story deSouza likes to tell in numbers. In a conversation with this editor, he notes several times that nine out of the top 10 AI labs use Google’s infrastructure. He also says that nearly all generative AI unicorns run on Google Cloud, that 60% of all GenAI startups worldwide have chosen Google as their cloud provider, and that the company has lined up $58 billion in new revenue commitments over the next two years, which represents more than double its current annual run rate.Asked what percentage of Google Cloud’s revenue comes from AI companies, he offers instead that “AI is resetting the cloud market, and Google Cloud is leading the way, especially with startups.”
The strategy extends beyond simple customer acquisition. Google offers AI startups $350,000 in cloud credits, access to its technical teams, and go-to-market support through its marketplace. Google Cloud also provides what deSouza describes as a “no compromise” AI stack — from chips to models to applications — with an “open ethos” that gives customers choice at every layer.
The approach reflects both opportunity and necessity. In a market where companies can go “from being a startup to being a multibillion-dollar company in a very short period of time,” as deSouza puts it, capturing future unicorns before they mature could prove more valuable than fighting over today’s giants.
“Companies love the fact that they can get access to our AI stack, they can get access to our teams to understand where our technologies are going,” deSouza says during our interview. “They also love that they’re getting access to enterprise-grade Google class infrastructure.”
Google’s infrastructure play got even more ambitious recently, with reporting revealing the company’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering to expand its custom AI chip business. According to The Information, Google has struck deals to place its tensor processing units (TPUs) in other cloud providers’ data centers for the first time, including an agreement with London-based Fluidstack that includes up to $3.2 billion in financial backing for a New York facility.
Competing directly with AI companies while simultaneously providing them infrastructure requires … finesse. Google Cloud provides TPU chips to OpenAI and hosts Anthropic’s Claude model through its Vertex AI platform, even as its own Gemini models compete head-to-head with both. (Google Cloud’s parent company, Alphabet, also owns a 14% stake in Anthropic, per New York Times court documents obtained earlier this year, though when asked directly about Google’s financial relationship with Anthropic, deSouza calls the relationship a “multi-layered partnership,” then quickly redirects me to Google Cloud’s model marketplace, noting that customers can access various foundation models.)

Hello everyone.
I've been a BSD user for a long time, even back to the early 2000s when I ran FreeBSD instead of Linux on my Abit BP6.
That was the era I also using NetBSD and OpenBSD on a variety of hardware, some of which I still have.
E.g. a VaxStation, SUN IPX, PA-RISC HP 9000, etc.
In the last year or so I've had FreeBSD with sway on a laptop.
A Midsummer Night's Dream, by Gustave Doré (1870)
This painting feels very mystic, like a glimpse into a secret, magical world that exists just beyond our own. The moonlight filtering through the dark trees gives it a dreamlike and ethereal atmosphere.
The artist did a great job of creating a sense of dynamic energy. You can almost feel the swirl of the dance as the fairies circle the clearing, and the flutter of all the tiny wings in the air and on the ground.

*The consensus is clear: it’s genocide. Now will international law die in Gaza too?* I am sure that is what right-wing dictators hope for. Some don't care particularly about Gaza or Israel, but they want to get rid of anything that might restrain their own violence, regardless of what purpose they do it for.

Trump's attacks on Comey and leadership shifts in prosecutors' office could undermine case, legal experts say
The indictment of former FBI Director James Comey on Thursday marked the culmination of President Trump's yearslong desire to see one of his political foes punished after the bureau's investigation into his 2016 presidential campaign and Russian meddling in that election.
But the president's long-held ire toward Comey, coupled with his latest comments cheering the federal charges brought against the former FBI chief, could aid defense lawyers in a potential bid to have the case against Comey tossed.
"In this case, the facts before the indictment and even comments Trump made after the indictment provide strong factual evidence that Mr. Comey is the victim of either selective or vindictive prosecution," Gene Rossi, a former federal prosecutor who worked at the Justice Department for nearly 30 years, told CBS News.

Clarence Thomas gives bonkers reason for SCOTUS to tear up settled laws
Justice Clarence Thomas is finding increasingly creative ways to justify reshaping long-standing laws.
During a rare appearance at Catholic University’s Columbus School of Law in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, the George H.W. Bush–appointed justice said the Supreme Court should take a more critical approach to settled precedent, arguing that decided cases are not “the gospel,” ABC News reported.
Thomas, 77, compared his Supreme Court colleagues to passengers on a train, and said: ”We never go to the front to see who’s driving the train, where is it going. And you could go up there in the engine room, find it’s an orangutan driving the train, but you want to follow that just because it’s a train.”
He reasoned that some precedents were simply “something somebody dreamt up and others went along with.”

Piccola lezione di educazione civica a proposito dei due adolescenti olandesi arrestati per aver cercato di spiare Europol per conto della Russia utilizzando dispositivi di hacking
Ricordiamo a voi ragazzi in ascolto (se non lo siete, ricondividete ai ragazzi che conoscete) e a tutti gli hacker e agli aspiranti hacker, che un reclutamento di questo genere inizia sempre in modo innocuo, di solito con una chiacchierata sui social su Discord o su Telegram a proposito della vostra opinione politica e la vostra posizione nei confronti del vostro Stato; in seguito viene somministrato un piccolo test per verificare se siete indifferenti verso l'illegalità.
NB: essere indifferenti verso l'illegalità non è necessariamente un male! Si può essere contrari all'illegalità senza dover per forza provare sentimenti contro di essa, ma l'indifferenza verso l'illegalità DEVE SEMPRE essere accompagnata da un solido senso civico e SOPRATTUTTO dalla consapevolezza che ci sono persone malintenzionate che sanno "fiutare" il vostro "distacco morale" per usarlo come un'arma o per farvi diventare un capro espiatorio!
A quel punto può esservi anche offerta una piccola somma di denaro destinata a incoraggiare le attività criminali o a finanziarle: si tratta generalmente di danni alla proprietà o di intercettazioni abusive.
Questi primi "incarichi" in realtà sono spesso gli ultimi, perché chi viene reclutato così è una risorsa "usa e getta", ma possono essere utilizzati per ricattare il reclutato e costringerlo addirittura a svolgere operazioni più gravi.
Ricordiamo tuttavia che, se è un soggetto di uno stato ostile a chiederti di farlo, un atto vandalico è un sabotaggio e un'intercettazione è un'attività di spionaggio!
Qualunque sia la vostra opinione o la vostra etica, prestarsi ai "suggerimenti" di un "agente" di un altro Stato può comportare pene molto gravi!
