Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned from his position at the top of the company on Thursday, closing one chapter of a saga surrounding the most important company in AI. The larger story may only be beginning, with attention turning to Nvidia's dealings in China and the US government's willingness to overlook a great deal to protect a powerful ally. The stability of the AI industry as a whole is also in question.
The Vergecast devoted a segment to unpacking the many parts of the story. The publication said its audience will learn far more about Megaspeed than anyone planned or wanted, and will hear many people, particularly newly elected Democrats, asking who knew what and when.
Attention is also turning to who will replace Huang as the AI industry's front man, and whether everyone involved will survive the scrutiny that is coming.
Separately, the week brought a series of smaller news items from streaming services that together amount to Hollywood's plan to properly take on TikTok. The industry is about to find out whether microdramas, free tiers and a deep obsession with vertical video will save the Netflixes and Paramounts of the world.
The Vergecast also covered other topics in its lightning round, including Brendan Carr, Mark Zuckerberg's AI experiments and the Cybertruck era.
The Verge article also listed several popular stories on its site, including Microsoft Outlook being down, the Jensen Huang scandal being hardly over, Apple's HomeView as a new smart display, a massive Outlook outage and the pricey new Apple TV 4K.
