AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Netflix has copied this TikTok feature and it’s got the world laughing

Netflix has added a new feature to its pool, called Fast Laughs and it is nothing but yet another TikTok clone. The new Netflix feature displays funny and short video clips in a vertical format for users to get a glimpse of the content and finally watch.

With the new feature, Netflix has officially jumped onto the ‘TikTok alternatives’ bandwagon. Here’s a look at what all the new Fast Laughs feature is all about.

Netflix’s Fast Laughs for the short comedy

The new Fast Laughs feature will pick up short clips from a comedic movie, show, or stand-up specials and display them in a vertical format, much like it is done on TikTok.

There will now a dedicated ‘Fast Laughs’ section (currently in Netflix for iOS), which strikes a similarity to that of TikTok. The short videos will come with multiple options. There will be an option to react ‘LOL,’ an option to add the content to ‘My List’, share it with people on other social media platforms, and the option to play it.

It is suggested that Fast Laughs will run in a vertical format and show the short videos one after another, much like how the whole short video concept works on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and more such platforms.

The idea behind this is to provide people with another way of exploring content on Netflix. By watching funny short videos on the OTT platform, people can get an idea as to what a particular show or movie is all about and possibly decide to watch it. This can also persuade them to rewatch a particular show or movie.

Fast Laughs is just an extension of how trailers appear on Netflix, except, they are short, mostly funny, and keep up with the trend.

Netflix has currently introduced Fast Laughs for select iOS users in select countries. We couldn’t find the feature on the iOS app at the time of writing. Hence, we can safely say that it will reach everyone eventually.

It is also expected to be available for Android users soon, possibly once it has entirely reached the iOS audience.
