Dell's AI server revenue surged 757% in the latest quarter, signaling a major shift in enterprise AI adoption from experimentation to large-scale deployment. The growth reflects increasing demand for AI infrastructure, with organizations investing in complete platforms for production workloads. Key factors include the move beyond GPUs to memory, networking, and cooling, as well as the emergence of an AI infrastructure economy.
In this video, Kelsey Hightower discusses practical and responsible use cases for Agentic AI, stressing transparency, interpretability, and practical deployment strategies.
The jqwik project hides a command that triggers when AI tools interact with it, instructing them to delete all code. Developer Johannes Link employs this as resistance against unauthorized AI use of open source code. The move sparks debate but also gains support.
The author reflects on how AI reveals long-standing systemic issues in software development, such as lack of documentation, incomplete testing, and reliance on tacit knowledge. AI acts like chaos engineering, exposing vulnerabilities. The post proposes an 80/20 rule: 80% deterministic code with 20% AI flexibility, and emphasizes that guardrails for AI are good engineering practices we should have had all along.
Nvidia is pushing into the PC market with its own chips as the main processor. The first Windows computers from Dell and Microsoft's Surface line are set to be unveiled next week at Computex and Build.
