TikTok's Last Stand + Google's Quantum Breakthrough + Cult of Claude

Last Friday, a panel of federal judges denied TikTok’s petition to overturn the law that could force the ban of the app in the United States. We walk through the judges reasoning and explain why TikTok’s First Amendment argument was unsuccessful. Then, Julian Kelly, the director of quantum hardware at Google Quantum AI, explains how close we are to quantum computers that can solve practical problems. Finally, we talk about a new sentiment sweeping Silicon Valley: affection for the chatbot Claude.   Guest: --- [Julian Kelly] (https://research.google/people/105027/) , director of quantum hardware at Google Quantum AI.   Additional Reading:  --- [TikTok Faces U.S. Ban After Losing Bid to Overturn New Law] (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/business/media/tiktok-ban-court-decision.html) --- [Quantum Computing Inches Closer to Reality After Another Google Breakthrough] (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/technology/google-quantum-computing.html) --- [Cult of Claude] (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/technology/claude-ai-anthropic.html) --- [DealBook Summit Podcast: The A.I.

Is Intel Cooked? + What's Your P(Dyson Sphere)? + Hard Fork Gift Guide

This week, Pat Gelsinger stepped down as chief executive of Intel. We talk with The New York Times’s Don Clark about why Gelsinger was ousted, what it means for the chip industry and how his departure could affect national security. Then, Kevin and Casey report back from an artificial intelligence conference, where experts debated how long it would take to build a structure around the sun to capture the star’s energy — also known as a Dyson sphere. And finally, gift guides have taken over the internet. We dig into why, and offer up suggestions for gear dads, home cooks and even tech billionaires in our first ever Hard Fork gift guide.   Guest: --- [Don Clark] (https://www.nytimes.com/by/don-clark) , New York Times contributor covering the chips industry.     Additional Reading:  --- [Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger Steps Down Amid Chipmaker’s Struggles] (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/02/technology/intel-ceo-pat-gelsinger.html) --- [Nvidia Rules A.I.
