Jenson We Knew Ye Too Well

“The Seven Nations fled before him: they became what they beheld.” – William Blake

Was it really Little Marco who took out Jenson Huang? Enquiring minds want to know. One thing for certain, the long knives are out at the White House. Where the blood stops nobody knows. The FT headlines “Bessent blames Lutnick’s commerce department for failure to blacklist Megaspeed.” This will all be half-entertaining, absolutely none of it useful.

A knucklehead on CNBC said, "Nvidia is like a central bank in its support of AI ecosystem." The collective mindset needed to produce that metaphor just shows how fucked things are. Very difficult to see how this doesn’t accelerate the AI reckoning or is it wrecking?

The FT also has a piece titled, “Maga architects blame Big Tech and AI data centres for midterms rout.” How about that? I see there’s some sort of political analysis movement to claim the Dems were out front on the Tech issue, but this just simply wasn't true and remains untrue. The Dems themselves were caught in the wave.

The piece concludes with a Maga-ite stating,

“In 2028, you will not be able to get away from having a clear sense of what do we think the role of technology is when it comes to our economy, when it comes to our society, when it comes to what it means to be human. I think that’s a critical piece of the puzzle.”

Out of the mouths of babes.
