Usually, we’d be offering to answer your questions about a news event, but honestly we don’t really have any answers about what the hell is going on over at Nvidia. I can’t speak for Nilay but at the rate Jensen Huang’s new mistresses are dropping, I am concerned we are approaching an affair Singularity. If things don’t decelerate soon, we may be looking at existential risk. Maybe the future of AI really does depend on Jensen’s sex life, but not in the way I was thinking!
As much fun (?) as we are having with all the assorted ladies, it’s important to stay focused on what’s really important: Chips and China. President Donald Trump was reportedly warned about Alice “No Relation” Huang’s possible connections to China’s spy apparatus last year, and again before his China trip in May. Nvidia reportedly intervened into a Commerce Department investigation into Alice’s company.
Did Alice girlboss too close to the sun? Have I been wrong all this time about AI being an important productivity tool, freeing everyone up to have multiple affairs at once? What do CEOs do at their jobs anyway? Is Jensen’s leather jacket really an alien symbiote? Can’t I just go for a hike in peace? Let’s discuss. Nilay and I will be joining you at 1PM ET.
