Why did Google rent computing power in Elon Musk's data center?

To slow down the development of xAI AI, the competitor is now spending part of its infrastructure and operational resources on Google tasks.

Google has repeatedly used cooperation with competitors to its advantage. She buys computing power from xAI. The competitor receives money, but at the same time part of his resources is working on the maintenance of Google services, and not solely on the development of his own products. Now the xAI AI will develop more slowly. This will lead to the fact that xAI's AI will be one of the weakest in the market and will not compete with Google's AI. Before her, a similar deal was concluded by Anthropic, leasing the entire Colossus 1 cluster. By that time, xAI had already transferred the training of its models to the newer Colossus 2.

Let's recall Firefox. Google has effectively made Mozilla dependent. While Firefox was losing users in competition with Chrome, Mozilla's revenue was increasingly dependent on Google's multimillion-dollar payments for default search. As a result, the browser, which was supposed to be Chrome's main competitor, turned out to be financially dependent on the company it competes with.

What did Trump and Putin agree on?

We are talking about ending the war on terms unfavorable for Ukraine.

Moscow wants to get 6,000 square kilometers from Kiev, which are not yet under its control. Therefore, Russia is now preparing a massive offensive against Ukraine, deploying marines and equipment, and even replacing the commander-in-chief of the ground forces. Therefore, they put up flags, pretending that they have seized territories. The United States will put pressure on Ukraine to sign a peace agreement, threatening sanctions, etc., because they still need to resolve the issue of Chinese dominance and the problem with Israel, and there is not enough money to resolve several issues. In return, Moscow will not touch the territories with rare earth metals that the United States plans to develop in Ukraine and for which a contract has already been signed.

Russian media reports that Ukraine is allegedly waiting for specific proposals from Russia on the issue of territory exchange.

Will artificial intelligence replace programmers?

No, it will not replace it, but competition for jobs will increase. And there will be a shortage of programmers in the future.

Executives at various IT companies are now publicly declaring that AI will soon replace programmers. Although the CEO of an IT company often understands little about the work of a programmer, for shareholders, the opinion of such people looks authoritative, and they believe him. Laying off programmers without losing profits is nothing more than the wet fantasies of managers and shareholders of companies. If a company cuts its programmers by a factor of five, its competitors will immediately try to overtake it, even if it costs them a couple of years of work without a profit.

What about Google laying off programmers? It lays off expensive American programmers and immediately hires cheap Indian ones. American programmer - 4,000, Indian programmer - 1,500.
