Broadcom Reports $18 Billion in Revenue as AI Chip Sales Climb

Robbie Whelan / wsj - The chip designer posted nearly twice as much net profit in the fourth quarter as it did a year earlier.

Absolutely hilarious earnings call for Broadcom today as CEO Hock Tan gets mad at an analyst for asking for clarity over OpenAI’s supposed 10 gigawatt chips deal, which Tan responded to by saying that “they are on their multi-year journey to their own XP

JUST IN: South Korean crypto entrepreneur and prosecuted fraudster Do Kwon was sentenced to 15 years in prison by a US federal judge Thursday for lying about ‘experimental’ coins called TerraUSD that blew a $40 billion hole in the crypto economy.

2 months / bsky / @wired.com / wired.com

In August, Kwon pleaded guilty to defrauding investors who purchased crypto coins issued by his company, Terraform Labs. “[Kwon’s] rampant lies left a trail of financial destruction in their wake,” US prosecutors wrote in a recent court filing.

2 months / bsky / @wired.com / wired.com

TerraUSD was a stablecoin whose value was supposedly pegged to the US dollar by way of an algorithm. “Many smart people believed it would work,” an analyst who previously worked at the crypto brokerage Genesis told WIRED last year.

2 months / bsky / @wired.com / wired.com

But in May 2022, the price-balancing system belched. When traders sold large quantities of the coin, it slipped from its dollar peg, leading to a panicked sell-off that drove the price practically to zero. Read more: www.wired.com/story/do-kwo...
