Went to upstate NY & wore a bright orange bunny suit for my latest Chip Giants story: GlobalFoundries. It's not doing leading edge or seeing gains like NVIDIA, but it's essential for nearly all connected devices. And it's the only U.S.-based top foundry: youtu.be/wdP_goQU0ZU?si…

Behind the scenes CNBC at 1 Market in San Fran shooting for Katie Tarasov's Chip Giants series. Won't spill which company is coming up next, but as always, I expect it to be a great breakdown for viewers looking to get to know the companies shaping the world.

Making AI chips isn't just for giants like NVIDIA anymore. I got the 1st tour of Amazon's chip lab where it designs Trainium/Inferentia. Google has TPUs. Microsoft's working on Athena. But will Amazon Web Services' millions of existing customers give it an edge?

Nearly a decade after announcing , Amazon told me it's now at 100 drone deliveries.
I went to Lockeford to try and see some (unsuccessfully). So I visited Zipline (600,000 deliveries) and Wing (330,000 deliveries) to see how they got ahead by starting outside the U.S.

For years, Amazon workers have told me they feel unsafe. It's finally time to tell their stories, as OSHA_DOL cites Amazon for 'failing to keep workers safe,' DOJ Civil Division asks if Amazon hid injuries & Strategic Organizing Center says they're injured at twice the rate of others
