Dear Copiers & Followers, August looks set to close slightly in the green again in spite of today's tech stocks and $BTC being down ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ€. Not a blowout, but steady steps forward are always welcome! โšก ๐—ก๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฎ ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—–๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ ๐ŸŽญ $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) is navigating tough geopolitics. After Trumpโ€™s deal to skim 15% of Chinese AI-chip sales, Beijing pushed back by discouraging local firms from buying Nvidiaโ€™s H20 chips. Production was even paused. Still, with demand for AI chips running hotter than ever, analysts expect Nvidiaโ€™s revenue to stay strong, though the China question hangs like a storm cloud. ๐Ÿ’ธ ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—น ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ต ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ณ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป... ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜? ๐Ÿฅ $INTC (Intel) received nearly USD 9B from the U.S. government in exchange for a stake. Great headline, but analysts warn it wonโ€™t solve Intelโ€™s core problem: a lack of big customers for its newest chip-making process. Without them, the foundry business could stay stuck in the slow lane, despite the patriotic PR spin. ๐ŸŒฑ ๐—”๐—œ ๐—ด๐—ผ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ป-๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐Ÿ’ก $GOOG (Alphabet) revealed just how much energy Gemini eats up: one query = nine seconds of TV time, plus a few drops of water. Sounds small, but multiply that by billions of prompts and youโ€™ve got the power use of a city. Google says its models are getting more efficient, yet the environmental footprint of AI is something we all need to watch closely. Wishing you all a great end of summer (for those in Northern Hemisphere), Olena
