AI might be the most important innovation ever. It's storming every industry with literally billions being invested, so buckle up.

The problem is that AI needs the right data and a lot of speed and processing power, so how do you compete without cost spiraling out of control?

Time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or OCI.

OCI is a single platform for your infrastructure, database and application development,

with AI embedded across it all.

And Oracle's offering cloud helps you address your requirements for location, access and data

residency.

OCI provides blazing fast speeds for AI's demanding workloads, and in the cloud when you pay by the minute, speed matters.

And of course, nobody does data better than Oracle.

If you want OCI to help you do more and spend less,

like Uber, the Premier League and Oracle Red Bull Racing,

Hello everyone and welcome to talk nerdy. Today is Monday, November 4th, 2024, and I'm the host of the show, Dr. Kara Santa Maria. Yes, we are on the eve of election day here in the United States, but we are not going to talk about that this week, partially because we have

If you're interested in pledging your support on an episodic basis, all you've got to do is visit

This week's top patrons include Anu Baravage, Daniel Lang, David J.E. Smith, Mary Neva,
