Episode 162 - Israel's paradox, Nvidia's Intel shock, AI hacks Gmail & big tech shake-ups.
Description
Following an investment from Nvidia, which its CEO described as a "historic event," Intel confirmed that its Arc GPU line will continue to be developed. In other corporate news, Google is expanding its Gemini AI agent within the Chrome browser, and Oracle is replacing CEO Safra Catz with two co-CEOs.
In AI developments, a new attack allows a ChatGPT agent to access Gmail inboxes, while an Israeli startup has raised $80 million to defend against aggressive AI models. A broader analysis suggests AI is currently enhancing the skills of senior professionals more than junior ones. Meanwhile, Israel's high-tech sector saw record investments and exits in 2025, though this did not translate to growth in national product or employment.https://www.calcalist.co.il/calcalistech/article/byampfwslehttps://www.calcalist.co.il/calcalistech/article/hjpv1lujxxhttps://www.calcalist.co.il/calcalistech/article/rjjgq2kjxghttps://www.theverge.com/news/781635/intel-says-arc-gpus-will-live-on-after-nvidia-dealhttps://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2025/09/new-attack-on-chatgpt-research-agent-pilfers-secrets-from-gmail-inboxeshttps://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/781192/chrome-gemini-ai-agentic-update-google-mac-windowshttps://www.theverge.com/news/782585/oracle-ceo-safra-catz-steps-downhttps://elma.dev/notes/ai-makes-seniors-stronger
