Happy Monday!
Samsung is having a rough week. From almost selling off their foundry to potentially cancelling the Exynos 2500. OpenAI scams more investors into paying their current bills. California Governor vetoes AI bill. Microsoft maybe wasn’t joking about buying a nuclear plant to power their data centers. Amazon is going to ramp up more ads for Prime Video.
And we should probably chat about more Reddit drama…
Let’s get our tech week started right!
