Seinfeld

Seinfeld, which ended three decades ago, has been watched by 72 million Americans so far THIS YEAR. Behind that incredible stat is an equally incredible business story: obsessive creators, perfect market timing, an ownership structure that aligned incentives for the long term…all of which created a sitcom that became number one by breaking all the rules.

Jensen Huang’s Nvidiotic Spy Scandal + Can Dems Pass AI Regulation?

It might be the biggest tech scandal of the year, and possibly the most significant intelligence breach since the Cold War. On Sunday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair, following reports that Alice Huang, the woman involved, is a suspected Chinese intelligence asset. What happens now to Jensen, to the world’s most important AI company (which has no clear succession plan), and to the fight over U.S.-China AI policy and chip export controls? Then, Rep. Greg Casar of Texas, chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and one of the most vocal voices on AI regulation in the House, joins us to talk about how Democrats plan to use their new majority to pass AI policy in the new Congress. He explains why he wants to tax AI companies, why he co-wrote a bill with Sen. Bernie Sanders to ban artificial superintelligence, and why he thinks Congress should move to ban recursive self-improvement.

What the Internet Boom Teaches Us About the AI Buildout | Mike Volpi

The internet boom built bandwidth. The AI boom is building intelligence. Mike Volpi, who helped shape Cisco’s strategy during the internet buildout, asks what that era can teach us about this one. Mike joins a16z’s Raghu Raghuram and Guido Appenzeller to compare today’s investment in GPUs, data centers, and power with the fiber boom of the late 1990s, and explain why the infrastructure could prove valuable even if the market corrects. They also discuss NVIDIA, custom silicon, networking, and the changing economics of GPUs, plus lessons from Cisco’s acquisition machine. And Mike explains why he thinks this technology cycle could be even more consequential than the last.
