It's been overwhelmingly negative recently, but here's some perspective on how supply-constrained demand from $LITE to $MU looks amid possible AI capex slowdowns. As one Korean executive on memory puts it: "Thirty people are already lined up at a restaurant that is full, and five of them leaving does not create a table." The amount of tables might expand, but supply shortages and price hikes in bottlenecks can persist through capex slowdowns or capacity buildout. From AI implications in medicine, physics, materials, robotics, cybersecurity, engineering, energy, to AI itself over the next 5-10 years... We've only reached the precipice of the next technological paradigm shift. The world is going to need a lot more compute.

I wanted to think about it for a bit before responding and time go away from me this week. I think NBCU makes a lot of sense as an acquisition for Netflix $NFLX given its size and the optionality it provides the company. However beyond the tax part, getting this deal through antitrust will not be easy and integration will be even harder given all the moving parts to an organization of NBCU's size and Netflix's current culture as a tech company. $LION is much easier tuck-in acquisition on both those fronts.

Be Jensen: > Asian American Dishwasher at Dennys > Founded $NVDA and pioneered GPU computing > Took an extraordinary gamble in CUDA, despite the company close to bankruptcy risk. > Bet paid off heavily, and Nvidia was there as the infrastructure for deep learning and generative AI. > Spent last 33 years of his life growing $NVDA, and finally saw it become a $5T+ company > Devoted his life to establishing American AI leadership > Started having more influence on policies that Washington conflicted with > Leaks and hit pieces happen all at once around midterms > Washington tries to push out others like Lutnick that shared similar China stances to Jensen. > Forced to resign by Taco Bell and NFL experience board members over unconfirmed Spy accusations + personal relationships. > Huang's leadership then questioned by politicians that ask how $META makes money or how Wifi works. > Slandered by US media that think because Mcdonalds did well under a CEO change, so can American semiconductors like $NVDA. This feels like a horrible joke. Jensen Huang was the pinnacle of visionary tech CEOs and living the American dream. Ousting Jensen Huang will go down as one of most consequential and darkest decisions in recent US history.
