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.

Twitter testing prompts on Android, iOS to help avoid controversies on the platform

Twitter is testing prompts to help users avoid controversies in the social platform. The micro-blogging site is testing new prompts both on iOS and Android platforms that warn before users jump into a conversation that could get intense.

The Verge reports that there’s a prompt dropped right into a conversation in progress that says “conversations like this can be intense.”
In another, which seems like it appears if users try to reply to one of those intense conversations, is titled “let’s look out for each other” and lays out three bullet points to encourage empathetic and fact-based conversations, it added.

“Ever want to know the vibe of a conversation before you join in? We are testing prompts on Android and iOS that give you a heads up if the convo you’re about to enter could get heated or intense,” the micro-blogging site wrote on its support page. “This is a work in progress as we learn how to better support healthy conversation,” it added.

The prompts are the company’s latest attempt to reduce the persistent harassment and abuse on the platform. One other prompt, for example, warns users before they tweet something that might be offensive.

Twitter also might show a prompt if users try to retweet an article it thinks they haven’t read, which could help decrease the spread of misinformation, the report said.

“While they might help prevent some bad tweets from being shared, the growing list of potential warnings to wade through before you tweet is a worrying indicator of the entire experience,” it added.

Reports cite that Twitter had previously tested other behavior-shaping prompts like pop-ups that discouraged users from sending hate messages in replies.
