The 10 Biggest Losers from Jensen Huang’s Fall + The METR Report That Scared Us

What an insane news cycle! Jensen Huang has officially resigned as CEO of Nvidia, following a series of scandals including reported affairs with Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese intelligence asset, as well as Kimberly Powell, an Nvidia executive who reported to him. Plus, after we finished taping, we learned of yet another alleged affair, bringing the total now to three. To process it all, we rank the 10 biggest losers from this extraordinary Nvidia shake up. Then, we break down the latest report from METR that concluded that Anthropic’s AI progress has roughly doubled in speed, mostly thanks to AI itself. We talk about why this has us genuinely freaked out and why it might be worth sitting with that feeling. And finally, we answer your questions. Should you vibe code your wedding website? Are AI agents a bust? How much demand is there really for data center compute? For a transcript of this episode, select the episode on npr.org/machinegods.

Why the AI World Will Never Be the Same

Until this week, Jensen Huang was one of the most powerful people in the most powerful industry on earth. Now, after 33 years running Nvidia, he’s out. Ahead of our usual conversation dropping Friday, we’re bringing you a personal essay from Kevin, who has spent years covering the race to AGI and nearly made Huang a main character in his book. He explains the three central roles Huang played in the AI boom, and why he thinks the affairs alone don’t explain why Huang had to go. A note: After we recorded this episode, Reuters reported that Huang allegedly had a third affair, with a second Nvidia employee. That brings the total number of reported affairs to three.
