[1/2] Small toy shopping cart is seen in front of displayed Amazon logo in this illustration taken, July 30, 2021. In its filing, Amazon said it "prominently and repeatedly" disclosed key terms — including price and automatic renewal — to Prime customers. Amazon also accused the FTC of seeking to punish the company through "undefined concepts" such as "manipulative" website designs. "In a case supposedly about clarity, the FTC's purported standards are unconstitutionally opaque," Amazon said. The FTC's Prime lawsuit said Amazon "under substantial pressure" from the FTC changed its cancellation process in April, before the agency filed its lawsuit.

The amount of electricity needed to power data centers in the U.S. is expected to more than double by 2030, according to McKinsey.

2023's surge in technology stocks fizzled in September as rising rates put a heavy dent in the artificial intelligence-fueled rally . Over the next few weeks, Deepwater Asset Management's Gene Munster is keeping an eye on September's consumer price index and nonfarm payrolls report ahead of the start of big technology earnings later in the month. "The good news is that this should right itself once the September quarter earnings come up." Sean Sun, a portfolio manager at Thornburg Investment Management, likened the earnings season to a "gut check" on AI beneficiaries. But these drawdowns could offer opportunities for long-term investors to snatch up technology bets at bargain prices, said Nancy Tengler.

Shares in Asia were mostly lower on Monday, with Tokyo the only major regional market to advance, after Wall Street wheezed to more losses with its worst week in six months. Worries over China’s property sector, a U.S. government shutdown and the continued strike by American autoworkers were weighing on investor sentiment. The retreat has deepened with Wall Street’s growing understanding that interest rates likely won’t come down much anytime soon. Pressure has built on Wall Street as yields in the bond market climbed to their highest levels in more than a decade. The Nasdaq composite, which is full of tech and other high-growth stocks, slumped 3.6% for its worst week since March.

The report said Google's deliberations follow a standoff between the company and Broadcom over the price of the TPU chips. Broadcom, Google and Marvell did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Broadcom is seen as the second-biggest winner from the generative AI boom after Nvidia (NVDA.O). Google co-designs its AI chips with Broadcom and tech giant has already lined up the semiconductor firm for its sixth generation processor, the analysts said. That push has accelerated this year after prices surged for Nvidia's H100, the chip that powers most generative AI apps, to nearly double its original cost of $20,000.

Morgan Stanley has revealed a list of global stocks it likes, with four of them providing parts for Tesla 's supercomputer system. Morgan Stanley says its list of tech stocks are "well-positioned for US hyperscalers' acceleration of custom chip design," especially since custom chips are expected to outgrow the AI graphics processing units in the long term. Powering Tesla's Dojo In its research note, Morgan Stanley pointed out that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is the wafer foundry vendor for Tesla's Dojo 1 (D1) and Dojo 2 (D2). Morgan Stanley raised their price target on AIchip to 2,880 Taiwanese dollars, a 14% upside from its Sept. 12 price.

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares were trading mixed Tuesday following a Big Tech rally on Wall Street, as investors awaited an update on U.S. consumer prices set for later in the week.

Shares slipped Thursday in Asia as China reported weaker global demand hit its trade in August, adding to pressures on its economy. Investors have been hoping that the Fed might moderate interest rate increases going forward as inflation has been easing for months. Wall Street expects the Fed to hold its benchmark interest rate steady at its next meeting later in September. Economic updates last week on consumer confidence, jobs and inflation reinforced those hopes. Wall Street will get several more economic updates on inflation and retail sales later in September ahead of the Fed’s next meeting.

AI frenzy’s feedback loop stuffs Nvidia

NEW YORK, Aug 23 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The ducks on Wall Street are quacking for artificial intelligence, and that means Nvidia (NVDA.O) gets fed. Under co-founder Jensen Huang, Nvidia has built a business that dominates the design of specialized chips that are an essential component in training AI systems. Alphabet is already investing $7 billion a quarter, and promised last month it would ramp capital spending further as it beefs up in AI. While companies talk up the potential of AI, it hasn’t yet generated much revenue, even for prime booster Microsoft. Should Wall Street sour on AI, Nvidia’s valuation would look overstuffed.

Microsoft logo is seen on a smartphone placed on displayed Activision Blizzard's games characters in this illustration taken January 18, 2022. The carve-out is designed to not upset a deal with Brussels for Microsoft to license content to rival cloud services. The CMA's block in April drew fury from the merging parties, with Microsoft saying that Britain was closed for business. It said on Tuesday that it had not felt any political pressure over its handling of the deal. The CMA will also avoid having to defend its original block in court, and Microsoft finally looks set to secure its deal.

Since launching Wayve in 2017, CEO Alex Kendall has often felt like the self-driving car industry's mostly ignored little brother. In 2017, Kendall got a Ph.D. in deep learning and computer vision at the University of Cambridge. While there, he helped develop a deep learning algorithm for a computer vision concept called "semantic segregation." A delivery van outfitted with Wayve's autonomous driving software is part of the fleet of vehicles making grocery deliveries across London. When he and Kendall launched Wayve, "many of the big technology giants had just put billions of dollars of funding into building autonomous vehicles," Kendall says.

Amazon does not disclose how many data centers it occupies, where they are located, or how much electricity they consume. Many of Amazon's data centers listed in the permits have been built recently and some may still be under construction. "You cannot run a data center based on the variability of solar and wind," Boston said. Any producer of renewable energy can sell one REC for every megawatt hour of renewable energy it generates. Brady, the Cushman & Wakefield data center executive, said that data centers often match their backup generation to the capacity of a data center's power supply.

Kantrowitz writes that AI is still not good enough to handle most jobs. As soon as artificial intelligence began to read, write, and code, all manner of professions were supposed to automate — fast. AI technology, however impressive, is still not good enough to handle most jobs. Such complexity exists in every field, so anytime you see a company announce that it's replacing workers with AI, read that with some skepticism. To be sure, there will be jobs affected by this wave of AI, as when any new technology arrives.
