About this listen
In this episode of hashtag Trending, host Jim Love covers several significant tech developments. A new Linux Foundation study has found that 89% of companies using AI are adopting open-source models, with smaller businesses leading the trend due to cost benefits.
Google's recent major outage, caused by an invalid automated quota update, highlights vulnerabilities in cloud concentration risk.
SpaceX's Starlink-to-phone service is set to launch, offering text capabilities in remote areas, though it comes at a premium cost.
Lastly, the transition to renewable energy faces a bottleneck due to a shortage of high-voltage cables required to connect renewable sources to the power grid. These cables are crucial but complex to manufacture, posing a significant challenge to global clean energy goals.
