Next step is liquid nitrogenInteresting read here about the water consumption required to run the data centres used for ChatGPT:
A.I. tools fueled a 34% spike in Microsoft’s water consumption, and one city with its data centers is concerned about the effect on residential supply
“They were pretty secretive on what they’re doing out there,” says a former mayor about Microsoft’s data center projects.fortune.com
"In its latest environmental report, Microsoft disclosed that its global water consumption spiked 34% from 2021 to 2022 (to nearly 1.7 billion gallons, or more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools), a sharp increase compared to previous years that outside researchers tie to its AI research."
"In a paper due to be published later this year, Ren’s team estimates ChatGPT gulps up 500 milliliters of water (close to what’s in a 16-ounce water bottle) every time you ask it a series of between 5 to 50 prompts or questions. The range varies depending on where its servers are located and the season. The estimate includes indirect water usage that the companies don’t measure — such as to cool power plants that supply the data centers with electricity."
"In July 2022, the month before OpenAI says it completed its training of GPT-4, Microsoft pumped in about 11.5 million gallons of water to its cluster of Iowa data centers, according to the West Des Moines Water Works. That amounted to about 6% of all the water used in the district, which also supplies drinking water to the city’s residents."
Many years ago, at a company where I once worked, I was involved in a conversation with the CEO about tenure. He believed that engineers should spend no more than three years at a company lest they become stale in their skill set, and it was in their best interest to move on.Good morning back in Australia,
Interesting reading comments on the departure of Chris Stevens, it's all speculative.
No one company revolves around one individual, everyone is replaceable, no matter what we may think about ourselves, choices are made
every single second of a day worldwide, we all move on.
Some may attempt to use his departure as a knife to inflict more shareholder pain, but in reality, we are on schedule, have a very stable workforce
whom all have the same drive and determination to see Brainchip succeed.
Nothing to see here, except an opportunity for some new individual (male or female) to take us forward.

Sounds to me like CS has been made redundant - a re-evaluation of the sales function perhaps? I wouldn't be surprised if the sales function will now report directly to Sean.........after all that was his claim to fame coming in....... FWIWLike to know who the named accounts are
