Married to a firefighter + evacuated during the 2003 Cedar Fire, when I heard hydrants ran dry in the #PalisadesFire, my heart dropped. So much loss. And finger-pointing. I wanted to find out what really happened, and ways other cities can better prepare https://t.co/EUHaVreWNo

Two decades ago, #Google co-founder Larry Page had an idea that would forever change the way we navigate the world. As Google Maps approaches its 20th anniversary on Feb 8th, we went to the Street View garage for a ride with its mapping fleet https://t.co/ukK4Wyy4hA

What's behind Amazon Haul, where all items are <$20, arriving in 1-2 weeks because they're coming direct from China. It's Amazon's answer to the soaring success of Temu, Shein and TikTok Shop. https://t.co/nVAJVOrzWy Story w @devan_burris @retailgeek @NeilRetail @MarketplacePuls

Three years after my first visit, #TSMC's first Arizona fab is done and #Apple will finally start making advanced chips in the U.S. I got an exclusive first look and asked about China export controls, tariffs under Trump, #CHIPS Act, and all the delays https://t.co/sm66CZhob9

Counterfeits on Amazon got worse after sales from Chinese-based sellers more than doubled in 2015. Brands like #Nike & Birkenstock quit the site. So in 2020, Amazon launched the Counterfeit Crimes Unit. @annierpalmer and I went inside to see how it's going https://t.co/NEdxppkphM

RT @annierpalmer: New w/ @KatieTarasov : Grabango, a competitor to Amazon’s Just Walk Out cashierless tech, is shutting down. The startup,…

Today Amazon cashierless tech competitor @grabango permanently discontinued operations. On Monday, they were pitching us on a CEO interview following the Just Walk Out deep-dive by me and @annierpalmer and today they're gone. Sudden! https://t.co/xEQRS4k2Sp

Amazon ditched its "Just Walk Out" cashierless checkout system at U.S. Fresh grocery stores in April, and fought rumors that 1,000 workers in India watch you shop. @annierpalmer and I dig into what's really going on, w 200+ small stores now using the tech https://t.co/6NIfIExG4j

Sounds wild, but 60% of #Amazon Prime deliveries in March came same or next day. I got an exclusive tour of a warehouse where gen AI predicts what you'll order, optimizes routes, and makes robots smarter. Power draw + ROI remain big questions. https://t.co/P3p1PduGL3 @smulpuru

Google makes custom cloud chips, used to train Gemini & #Apple AI models. We got the 1st ever on-cam tour of the lab where they test the chips + asked its top executive abt all things TPU, #Nvidia, Taiwan, power and water @danielnewmanUV @BernsteinRasgon https://t.co/23UkDo94Mc

Gen AI takes a ton of power & water. One #ChatGPT query takes 10x more energy than a #Google search. I went to a @VantageDC data center to ask if our aging grid can handle it and talk solutions - from nuclear to @Arm enabling more work per watt https://t.co/zaQXZ9Bqt1

Next up in the Transformer 8 interviews, @stevekovach1985 sat down with @aidangomez of @cohere to hear about the ways he's bringing gen AI tools to businesses to improve their bottom line https://t.co/HgkxzWQLg7

For the second Transformer 8 interview, I sat down with Jakob Uszkoreit @kyosu, who left Google in 2021 to co-found biotech AI startup Inceptive. He wants to use gen AI to change the fundamental way drugs work. Here's our conversation: https://t.co/loZEmCf9L2

I'm back from maternity leave, with two babies and two stories to share! We've started a new @CNBC series, AI Insights, starting w interviews of the former @Google Transformer 8. My 1st conversation is with @ilblackdragon, now co-founder of @NEARProtocol https://t.co/fic1bmygzW

Back in the field after having my twins! I’ll be covering AI as well as chips now. Got started w #Apple at #wwdc today

CNBC @CNBC

Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference made a lot of news, the biggest of which was its push into artificial intelligence, called Apple Intelligence. CNBC's @KatieTarasov reports on what this announcement means for Apple in the AI race. https://t.co/KTMyW66CfG https://t.co/TWUj5kcjPk

I’m at Apple’s #WWDC. More power per watt. That’s how Apple software head Craig Federighi says its new AI capabilities will benefit from the fact Apple makes its own chips in house. Look out for my story on the huge energy needs of AI, and my new AI series coming to @CNBC soon. https://t.co/YKtlyibk9c

One of the biggest stories of my career came out two months ago. Two days earlier, I gave birth to bouncy healthy identical twin boys. So here at last is my story on @Apple custom silicon, a first ever on-cam tour at their chip labs + interview w top execs https://t.co/pnVN9SyG6b
