The cost of AI for large companies is soaring. Microsoft reportedly spent $500M on Claude subscriptions, mostly for coding. Even for automation, API processing costs are high. #AIcosts #Tech

The SaaS industry is already transforming. A 'SaaSocalypse' is here, with young innovators leveraging AI to replicate successful SaaS products. Traditional SaaS companies must undergo AI transformation or risk being disrupted by new AI-native companies launching daily.

New York's tech scene has exploded since 2010, surpassing Boston and becoming a major hub. The city's relentless energy and the 'get things done' mentality are key. #NYCTech #StartupScene #SiliconAlley

People see overnight success, but miss the 20 years of sacrifice. Building a company means putting your life on hold, destroying relationships, and sacrificing health. It's a love affair with the company, not a social life. #StartupLife #Entrepreneurship #Hustle

AI entrepreneurs asking about A100s? TechMikeNY.com has thousands. Build custom servers with V100s or A100s, and they'll validate it works. Get the hardware you need. #AI #Tech

AI companies struggle with GPU costs due to high demand and upcoming B200s. Refurbished servers are a smart solution, allowing users to configure custom builds from a vast inventory. #AI #GPUs #Tech

Ever suspect a chip has a backdoor? While software is sanitized, hardware can be a different story. Ombligo heard whispers from trusted sources about components with hidden surprises, making hardware security a critical concern. #HardwareSecurity #Cybersecurity #Tech

Getting old GPUs out of data centers is tricky. It's complex reverse logistics, like deconstructing a whole system without disruption. Ombligo has strict rules and insurance to ensure a smooth, safe decommissioning process. #GPU #DataCenter

New York's political climate is a wild ride. The debate between 'socialism' and capitalism, especially concerning thermostat settings vs. OpenAI stakes, highlights how loosely these terms are thrown around. Do we understand what they mean anymore? #NYPolitics #SocialismDebate

This business model proves doing good and doing well aren't mutually exclusive. Creating shared value, not just philanthropy, is the sustainable path forward, as recognized by Harvard MBA professors. #BusinessStrategy #Sustainability #SharedValue

Technology evolves fast, leading to a constant upgrade cycle. Instead of discarding old devices, this company turns a cost center into a revenue stream by refurbishing and reselling them, sharing profits with businesses. - Harris Edelman #Tech #Sustainability #Business

Boston's great, but here you're never bored. Monday night alone offers Knicks, math lectures, concerts, Broadway, and museum openings. It's overwhelming, but in the best way. #NYC #BigCityLife

The algorithm inside a language model is still key, even with external optimizations. New models are surprising with their speed and inherent optimizations, showing the power of internal design. #AI #LLM

Transitioning from ChatGPT, Claude has impressed with its adoption, especially its Claude Code feature. Many engineers use it for coding tasks and daily workflows, finding it a strong competitor for productivity. #AI #Tech

Be cautious about what you build. AI has immense potential for good, enabling great creation and helping us move forward as a species. Use it as a tool for positive impact. #AIforGood #FutureTech

San Francisco's tech monoculture has its pros and cons. New York thrives on diversity, fostering innovation through varied perspectives. From museums to concerts, NYC offers endless inspiration for systems thinking and broadening your worldview, benefiting both career and life.

Your likeness has value. A platform is emerging for models to license their image for ads, ensuring they're compensated. The contracts are evolving, but the principle remains: people should get paid for their likeness. #AIethics #DigitalRights

Should governments regulate AI? With the internet's reach and global AI development, can they even stop access to advanced models, even if they try? #AIregulation #TechDebate

GenAI demands access to LLMs, but connecting to various providers (GCP, Azure, AWS) outside Bloomberg's secure system poses risks. An AI Gateway centralizes traffic, offering a unified API, managing security, authentication, and observability for efficient, experimentation.
