Are you trying to understand the geopolitical and technical reality of the AI revolution? You're in the right place. This episode unpacks King Charles's symbolic warning to Nvidia's CEO and explains why Jensen Huang's company is the unrivalled $4 Trillion power behind modern AI.Join Lucian, Emily, and Mark as they dive deep into the hardware dominance of Nvidia's GPUs and the CUDA platform, exploring the ethical and societal risks of concentrated AI control. We discuss the massive computational cost of LLMs and the push for manufacturer guardrails.
