Oh, *Great*. Nvidia.

Right, so apparently Nvidia’s market cap hit a trillion dollars. A trillion. Because the world has officially lost its collective mind over AI hype and Jensen Huang is laughing all the way to the bank. The podcast basically breaks down how they went from making graphics cards for gamers (remember those days?) to being the undisputed king of everything AI-related, mostly by locking everyone into their ecosystem and charging exorbitant prices for GPUs that are now essential infrastructure.

They’re not *just* selling chips anymore; it’s data centers, software, platforms…the whole damn shebang. It’s a vertically integrated monopoly in the making, and people are willingly handing over cash like it’s going out of style. The discussion also touches on how this valuation is… optimistic, to put it mildly. It relies heavily on continued AI growth, which, let’s be real, could fizzle faster than a wet firework.

And don’t even get me started on the geopolitical implications. Taiwan manufacturing? Supply chain risks? It’s a house of cards built on sand and wishful thinking, but hey, who am I to question the wisdom of Wall Street?

Basically, it’s a story about how one company managed to exploit a trend perfectly, become ridiculously valuable, and probably create a future where everything costs ten times more than it should. Fantastic.

Look, I once had to debug a system that was 90% Nvidia drivers crashing every five minutes. Five. Minutes. It took me three days, two all-nighters, and an ungodly amount of caffeine just to figure out it was a faulty firmware update. So yeah, I’m predisposed to dislike anything with the Nvidia logo on it. Don’t tell them I said that.
