365: Regular People Hate Tech Billionaires
From Brad & Will Made a Tech Pod. · 00:53:22
Show by Will Smith, Brad Shoemaker
It was hard not to talk about the rapidly ballooning Nvidia scandal this week, involving smuggling advanced AI chips to Chinese cutouts in violation of US law, CEO Jensen Huang's affairs with a Chinese spy and two Nvidia employees, signs of malfeasance in the Trump administration. We try to take stock of where the reporting is at on this growing story, along with what it might mean for the future of Nvidia as a gaming hardware company. Since it's an extra nutty week, we also talk about the Federal Aviation Administration's nationwide grounding of air travel, and the huge Microsoft 365 outage that's plagued the Internet late this week.Some articles referenced in this ep:https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/live/news/nvidia-jen-hsun-scandal/https://www.techpowerup.com/354814/nvidia-allegedly-engineered-scarcity-by-funding-ai-startups-to-buy-its-gpushttps://unemploymentlabs.com/checkpoint-forensicshttps://www.wired.com/story/the-microsoft-outage-is-a-warning-for-the-world/https://gizmodo.com/the-faa-is-rolling-out-its-ai-air-traffic-tool-nationwide-2000839347 Support the Pod!
