"demand for advanced chips is increasing exponentially", stupid.....

" These leading-edge chips are not only required for the manufacture of everything from laptops and phones to weapons and medical equipment, they are also foundational for many emerging technologies including AI, robotics and the internet of things – and demand for advanced chips is increasing exponentially. "

PS
Oh soooo many NBTs and soooo little time.
A good thing.

Google’s Sundar Pichai Says The Technology They’re Working On is “More Profound Than Fire or Electricity”

When ChatGPT was released, Google tried to match it with the release of Bard, now known as Gemini. It was vastly worse, and many nearly laughed it out of the room. Despite the initial flop, Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) model is quickly closing the gap with competitors, and is now considered a top contender in the AI race. Alphabet (GOOG) (GOOGL), Google’s parent company, is one of the most prolific innovators in the world, and its innovation spans far beyond just large language models (LLMs).

Notably, its Waymo division has the only approved robotaxi service in the U.S., now clearing over 200,000 driverless rides per week. But they also have a number of other growing product lines, including Nest Smart Home devices, Calico for BioTech research, and their various cloud infrastructure services.

But according to Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, AI is by far its most important work. In an April 2023 interview on CBS's 60 Minutes, Pichai described AI as "the most profound technology humanity is working on — more profound than fire or electricity." He emphasized AI's potential to surpass all previous technological advancements in its impact on society.

Pichai highlighted the rapid development of AI technologies and their integration into various aspects of daily life. He acknowledged concerns about the pace of AI evolution, stating, "We don't have all the answers there yet, and the technology is moving fast. So does that keep me up at night? Absolutely."

Addressing the potential risks associated with AI, Pichai called for proactive measures to ensure responsible development and deployment. He advocated for collaboration between technologists, ethicists, and policymakers to establish guidelines that align AI advancements with societal values.

The 60 Minutes segment also showcased Google's AI initiatives, including its chatbot and other experimental projects. Pichai's comments reflect a broader industry recognition of AI's transformative power and the necessity for thoughtful oversight as these technologies become increasingly integrated into various sectors.

As AI continues to evolve, Pichai's insights underscore the importance of balancing innovation with ethical considerations to harness its benefits while mitigating potential harms.

Alphabet's stock performance has mirrored the company's AI-driven initiatives. Since April of 2023, when Pichai first made these comments and Google began debuting its current generation of technology, its stock is up roughly 60%. In 2025, Alphabet stock is down 12% year-to-date on broader market concerns, and some regulatory issues the company is experiencing.

A federal judge recently affirmed Google's monopoly status in search, and another ruled the company held an illegal monopoly in online advertising markets. The Trump administration's Department of Justice is currently advocating that the search giant divest ownership of its popular Chrome browser, exacerbating these issues.

This is creating mixed signals for investors. If the regulatory woes end up not being as bad as they seem, it could result in a substantial boost to Alphabet’s top and bottom line. But as a company at the forefront of some of the biggest and most “profound” industries and technologies on the market, it’s clear that the potential upside for investors is immense.

Google announced its new series of Pixel smartphones, including the Google Pixel 10 Pro, which has new AI and durability features.

Google on Wednesday debuted its latest line of Pixel smartphones that prominently feature the Gemini assistant as artificial intelligence increasingly becomes the battleground where device companies compete.

The Alphabet company announced the Pixel 10 family of smartphones, saying the devices can use Google’s AI to do smart tasks, like quickly surfacing the address of an Airbnb when someone sends a text asking for it.

The Pixel 10 series includes several models and incorporates new AI and camera features. The baseline model, the Pixel 10, starts at $799 and is available in several colors. A more powerful Pixel 10 Pro starts at $999, and the Pixel 10 Pro XL with a larger screen and 256GB of base storage starts at $1,199. Google is also releasing an updated version of its folding phone, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, that starts at $1,799.

Google’s Pixel phone launch comes before Apple is expected to announce new iPhone models in September. While the Pixel typically has single-digit market share — far behind brands like Samsung, Motorola and Apple — the devices enable Google to release cutting-edge Android features without going through third-party hardware makers. The Pixel line of devices also allows Google to showcase how it believes its Android software compares with that of the iPhone.

The latest series of smartphones also have the potential to serve as a funnel for Google’s artificial intelligence services and subscriptions. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis previously described a vision for a universal assistant that “can seamlessly operate over any domain, any modality or any device.” Hassabis told employees at an all-hands meeting last year that “the products themselves are going to evolve massively over the next year or two.”

Google’s Gemini models are considered by critics to be more advanced than the models underpinning Apple Intelligence, the iPhone’s built-in AI suite.

Earlier this year, Apple delayed a big update to Siri until 2026, creating an opening for Google to secure a lead among AI-eager customers with its well-respected Gemini assistant, which can already hold a natural conversation and manage calendars and other apps. A Google Pixel 10 ad released earlier this month poked fun at Apple’s Siri delays.

“If you buy a new phone because of a feature that’s coming soon, but it’s coming soon for a full year, you could change your definition of soon, or change your phone,” the Pixel ad said.

Among the Pixel 10's key AI features is “Magic Cue,” which Google said is an AI product that “brings a new level of personalized intelligence and helpfulness.”

If calling an airline, Magic Cue surfaces flight details “as soon as you dial,” the company says, adding that it is meant to anticipate the users’ needs and suggest “relevant information and helpful actions based on the context on your phone.”



Google released an updated version of its folding phone, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which will cost at least $1799.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold, meanwhile, has the largest inner display among devices with foldable screens at 8 inches, Google said. The screen is built with two layers of anti-impact film for added drop protection. It also has a new “high-strength” hinge that the company says can handle over 10 years of folding.

Google touts the Fold’s “split screen” abilities which allows users to navigate to different apps on the two screens.

“Imagine planning a trip with friends by comparing flight details in one app and checking hotel availability in another,” the company said.

Already, Samsung appears to be gaining momentum with its line of foldable Galaxy Z Fold 7 phones. Analysts say Apple is expected to release its first foldable-screen iPhone as soon as 2026.

The Pixel series also incorporates Gemini Live, a Google product that allows back-and-forth chat about what the phone is “seeing” on its screen in real time. It’s built on Google’s image recognition prototype Project Astra, which the company announced last year.

For the smartphone camera, Google announced a new assistant called “Camera Coach,” that can describe the scene of a photo, offer suggestions, and recommend the best angle and lighting. It can also find and combine similar photos into one “where everyone looks their best.”

The Pixel 10 Pro phones come with a one-year subscription to Google’s “AI Pro” plan, which is typically $19 a month and gives users some extra Gemini features, priority access to AI products like NotebookLM and Veo 3 as well as extra storage.

Despite Google’s unique smartphone offerings, there haven’t been major signs that artificial intelligence has yet become a key driver of smartphone sales, or that users are deciding to switch from Apple’s platform to Android due to AI offerings. No major manufacturer has claimed the features have significantly boosted sales. But analysts say that eventually, Google could crack an AI feature that catches on among users and starts to erode Apple’s installed base.

Oops, sorry wrong thread. Ignore this post. It is too much work to duplicate data at my thread so I will link my thread here.

Index Update October 7 2025

SP500 moving higher but with slow momentum. It needs a catalyst to move it higher.



Same call DOW. Watch the OBV indicator on the DOW. So far the upward trend is still good. Watch for a break of the trend though.



Not a good sign. DOW transports failing a breakout above a strong resistance zone and the last resistance zone before the 52 week high. Not yet, but may be DOW is on shakey ground.



DOW utilities building on the up trend, setting a another 52 week high. Flight to safety in a volatile market, low long bond rates ahead or just more confidence on AI data center demand for energy????



TLT say bond traders not sure what is next.



USD breaking out of consolidation zone. If it can clear 100 it could run.



COMPQ seeing some profit taking on heavy volume. Not breaking down yet, but it needs to be watched.

R

Russell 2000 seeing some weakness also, but still holding on to the new 52 week high on OBV.



Financials waiting. No problem with economy yet.



Energy back to the mid-zone of the long term sideways channel. Intermediate trend is still up so a re-visit of the top of the channel is possible.



Gold moving higher still.



Consumer discretionary showing some weakness. Breaking 20 day EMA. Short term sell signal setup. Breaking first support zone.
