You used to be serving as a Nassau executive and a former assistant director for space policy at the White House. So you are in the know. Just how crucial is this test later this evening.Oh, it's critically important because what we're going to see are thermal tests, some stress tests, some flight maneuvers as they prepare for the next version, as you indicated. And it's going to take them several months because they are going to ensure that Starship version three will go into orbit, conduct some recoveries ...

AI Chip Market & Custom Silicon - Broadcom's AI chip run rate is almost $20 billion, with over half from Google's TPU [1] - OpenAI aims to reduce costs by 30-40% per gigawatt by partnering to ramp up custom silicon like Google's TPU [2] - Broadcom helps lower chip costs, which are the highest component in a gigawatt buildout, by 30-40% [3] - Custom silicon, like Google's TPU, offers performance advantages that merchant silicon cannot match [9][10] Hyperscaler Strategies & Competition - Google's infrastructure costs are the lowest among hyperscalers due to its success with Broadcom's TPUs [4][6] - Amazon is using Marvell for Cranium, and Microsoft is also working with Marvell, but they haven't achieved the same success as Google with Broadcom [5][6] - OpenAI is pursuing custom silicon with Broadcom, similar to Google's approach, to optimize performance and cost [6][10] Data Center Cost & Efficiency - Chips account for 60-70% of data center costs, making cost optimization crucial [6] - Custom silicon allows for optimization of performance per watt, addressing power constraints and minimizing latency [9] - Companies are exploring ways to run large language models more efficiently, including tiny recursive models [8][9]

I interviewed Elon Musk at the height of Doge and it was one of the most intense conversations of my life. It was at an economic event in Doha, a business crowd, a home crowd if you like for him. And it was exciting to be there talking to one of the most powerful people in the world.Things were going reasonably well, I thought. But I must have hit a nerve because then the conversation took a different turn. I mean, I feel you're somewhat trapped in the uh NPC dialogue tree of a traditional virt uh journalis ...

What would you say to those though who would say look the the legacy banks they have the data sets they have the resources and then in fact rather than leveling the playing field with fintech AI is actually going to give a greater advantage to legacy banks because of those factors. Well, look, I've always said that in my opinion, there are three players of companies that can play in the space, right. It's the big tech companies, Google, Amazon, etc. It's fintech or it's banks.There will obviously be incumbe ...

Financing Structure - XAI utilizes a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to finance its GPU acquisition for the Colossus 2 data center [1] - The SPV purchases Nvidia processors and rents them back to XAI [1] - Investors are backing the chips themselves, not necessarily investing directly in XAI [2] - Wall Street funds the GPUs, and XAI rents them for 5 years, with investors being repaid through rental fees [3] - This structure results in less debt on XAI's corporate balance sheet and faster access to compute [3] Investment Details - The financing round totals approximately $20 billion, split between $125 billion (12250%) of debt and $75 billion (7500%) in equity [2] - Nvidia is investing around $2 billion into the equity portion of the deal [2] Strategic Implications - Nvidia's investment is part of its strategy to fuel AI demand and infrastructure buildout [2] - The financing structure could become a template for other major AI players to manage the rapid scaling of AI infrastructure [3]

How do you see financial services, the workforce when it comes to financial services changing in the next say 5 to 10 years. Well, I for one have been trying to be a little bit more honest about this because I feel a lot of my tech bros are being slightly, you know, not to the point on this topic. I think there is a massive shift coming to knowledge work and it's not just in banking, it's in society at large.There are 8,000 people in Brussels that work as translators and I would argue that most of that can ...

Market Volatility & Geopolitical Risk - Market volatility and uncertainty are inherent costs of engaging with totalitarian states like China [2] - Expect continued market posturing and negotiation cycles, particularly around extension deadlines [3] - Long-term market stability hinges on US dominance in next-generation industries, diminishing China's influence [5] US Competitive Strategy - US needs to prioritize speed as a weapon to compete with China's top-down efficiency [12] - Private sector innovation and manufacturing are crucial for achieving American dominance [8][9] - Regaining control over materials and supply chains is essential for US competitiveness [9] Investment & Capital Allocation - Significant capital investment, such as JPMorgan's potential $500 billion to $1.5 trillion allocation, can accelerate growth in key national security industries [9][10] - Capital infusion enables companies to move faster in building, rebuilding, and dominating critical sectors [11][12] Rare Earths & Strategic Independence - China is currently exerting leverage through rare earth elements [6] - The US is recognizing the need for greater independence in rare earth materials [6]

I'm really interested in the fact that your you've got holdings in video. You're clearly a supporter of the AI theory, but are we looking at a bubble and you get these sorts of deals. Well, you can go to look at a choice.One, in terms of timing of the deals, if it if it is a bubble, it's potentially an NPV issue. Is it. Are we going to get all this revenue in ten years time or five years time.And that's what the market is trying to figure out right now. People try to compare this to the dotcom bubble, etc.. ...
