Jensen’s Scandal Tests Nvidia’s Board, AI Trade Roars Back, The Great Hobby Debate | Diet TBPN
John Coogan and Jordi Hays cover the fallout from Jensen's affair with an alleged Chinese spy, the AI stock rebound ahead of Anthropic's IPO, and whether the best founders really have no hobbies.
The gist
-
A Republican senator called for Jensen to resign over national security risks, but prediction markets put his chance of leaving before next July at 38%.
-
The hosts note Anthropic's Mythos took three days to run itself on AMD hardware versus 6 to 12 months, a threat to Nvidia's CUDA advantage.
-
Anthropic's IPO is reportedly seeking around $1.33 trillion, with bankers weighing $1.5 trillion, while CoreWeave's 26.8% jump helped revive the AI trade.
-
They discuss Jeff Yass's argument that bubbles don't exist, since a price is the market's best guess under uncertainty, not a delusion.
-
Debating Masha Bucher's claim that top founders have no hobbies, the hosts settle on a test: it's a hobby if the store clerk knows your name.
