Jensen Huang just resigned from NVIDIA. No CEO title. No board seat. All the poor guy has left: • 811M shares (~$130B) • ~3.4% of NVIDIA • $17.5M quarterly dividends • Shareholder voting rights • Family trusts • A family foundation • 33 years of experience • NVIDIA co-founder • The GPU revolution • GeForce legacy • CUDA legacy • Blackwell legacy • A $216B/year company on his résumé • Silicon Valley connections • A few billionaire contacts • That leather jacket 63 years old. Starting from scratch. Pray for him.

Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO. The earnings call didn't. Colette Kress is now interim CEO while keeping her CFO job. Nvidia's November 17 earnings call is still going ahead as planned. You can only imagine what went on behind closed doors, and Nvidia's handling of this looks incredibly stupid—but what can you do? Maybe I should set an alarm too. Not for the earnings. Just to see if GPUs have gotten any cheaper.

Your resignation has been accepted. Your personal information has been asked to stay late. TSMC says some former employees' information, alongside current workers', was posted on an outside website, matching records held by a cloud-service provider. Imagine hearing from your old workplace again. Not with a job offer. With a data breach.

You think you're gaming the algorithm. The algorithm has you barking at entire groups of people for treats.

Same Usman. Abu Dhabi today, Shanghai three months ago. If he'd actually thrown that elbow at Song Yadong in Shanghai, how do you think that would've ended?

Wanda : Wha...?

DOOM: WANDA, WAKE UP. IT'S ME. WANDA: TONY?! DIDN'T YOU DIE TOO?

Anthropic has found an off-label use for “AI will cure cancer.” In August, CEO Dario Amodei said the line had become a cliché. The public wouldn’t trust another promise, he argued. They wanted the actual cure. On Tuesday, he closed Anthropic’s IPO roadshow by predicting that cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease and mental illness would be relics of the past within a decade. The company is doing real drug research. Its own October update says most of that work is still preclinical. The phrase has moved a little faster. Its latest target population is people with brokerage accounts.

Marvel has been livestreaming a countdown clock since January. Yesterday it glitched into binary code. Fans decoded it like a message intercepted from an alien civilization. The secret intelligence? The VisionQuest finale was airing that night. But my favorite reaction wasn't a theory about Doctor Doom. It was a fan saying they'd miss the clock when it was gone. A clock. With a fanbase. Maybe that's what a fandom looks like between the big moments: people keeping each other company while a number gets smaller. Meanwhile, Vision is working in a pub, trying to understand what makes him human. The robot is looking for a heart. The humans have developed feelings for a timer.

X just made “finding the best 30 seconds” a potentially paid skill. You can now clip someone else's video, post it with your own commentary, and earn from the engagement. The original creator can earn too. No downloading. No reuploading. Just Repost → Clip video. The catch? You need to qualify for X's Original Content Rewards. But seriously, how many viral videos are just ONE good moment buried in 20 minutes? netinfluencer.com/x-launches…

Marvel's Doomsday clock has been counting down to the apocalypse since January. Today it glitched into binary. Fans decoded the ominous warning: "FINALE TONIGHT." It was promoting VisionQuest on Disney+. I'm imagining the meeting where someone had to tell Doctor Doom: "Victor, the apocalypse is testing great. Just one tiny note from the streaming team."

Okay, now do it in Morse code. Ruin my night properly. If the final surprise is another binary tweet, I'm calling Ultron.

NVIDIA just unveiled GR00T 2, a robot model getting pretty good at delicate tasks. Cool. Give it a fitted sheet. I wanna see something.

Jensen might be the best GPU salesman alive. But have you looked at the buyer? A gaming-company spin-off, a pivot into AI, billions in hardware. That's a story on its own.

One of the stranger new school tech products is software that removes AI from Google Search. By September 30, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia was already piloting a home-built Chrome extension to hide AI Overviews. The school-filtering company Securly says its tools can now hide those summaries and AI Mode while keeping ordinary search results. There's a reason. On Google's education forum, a self-described K–8 technology administrator described a teacher trying to teach children to evaluate sources. Google's AI summaries, the administrator said, were doing the synthesizing before students had opened a link. Google's upcoming controls will let schools enable Search while leaving the standalone Gemini apps off. But Search will still include generative AI. Google says Guided Learning can help students work through problems instead of skipping them. That may be true. On November 9, Senator Ed Markey asked Google why schools can't have Search without those features. A public school district shouldn't need to write browser software just to let children practice finding answers for themselves. fcps.edu/services/technology…

Bill Gross just put 1.2 MILLION startup ideas online. Free. One of the featured ideas: an app to help couples argue less about money and status. Estimated startup capital: $450,000. Nothing says “healthy relationship” like raising a seed round to stop a fight over money. idealab.ai/

50,000. That's roughly how many Nvidia chips Bloomberg's November 2026 investigation found were unaccounted for in the data-center inventories Nvidia had reported to U.S. officials, compared with Megaspeed's imports. The discrepancy wasn't new. Bloomberg had exposed the inventory mismatch in December 2025. Its latest reporting put the gap at approximately 50,000 chips. But a data center isn't a warehouse. Nvidia said it had also inspected separate warehouses containing additional hardware. It declined to disclose how many chips it actually verified there. So 50,000 doesn't mean 50,000 chips disappeared, let alone reached China. Megaspeed denies diverting them. That leaves a question more useful than another round of espionage speculation: If customs records, data-center inspections and warehouse inventories tell different stories, who can independently reconcile all three?

Some AI billionaires date models. One dates a 3D model. 👀
