Nvidia After Jensen Huang, What Huang Meant to the AI Ecosystem, Washington Gets Its Revenge

1h 48m
Hosted byBen Thompson

Ben and Andrew begin with a look back at what Jensen Huang meant to Nvidia, why AI changed the company, what Jensen’s efforts meant to the AI buildout, and what his absence could mean for both the AI ecosystem and the Nvidia F1 car. From there: The corporate red lines Huang crossed at Nvidia, the enemies he made in Washington that may have led to his demise, Alice Huang spy intrigue, a funeral for opposition to chip bans (and more), the hawkish chip policies that loom in the wake of this week’s news, and Jensen’s fearless gambles that were inseparable from his ultimate downfall. At the end: Celebrating 300 episodes of Sharp Tech with a nerdy chronicle of Ben’s journey into 3D printing, related AI show-and-tell adventures, and a Fable 5.2 triumph in Ben’s war with Mac mini permission dialogs.
