   In this special edition, Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis react to Jensen Huang's resignation as Nvidia CEO, one day after they asked whether he was too big to fire. They cover the reporting on a second affair, the board's swift move, Colette Kress stepping in as interim CEO, and Nvidia shares falling 14% at the open before recovering much of the drop.

   Also in this episode, they look at who could replace a legend, from Ian Buck to Rene Haas to Trump's pitch for Tim Cook, and Jeff argues the whole saga shows too much power sits in too few hands. New episodes every Wednesday at aiinside.show.

   This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis dig into an election where AI data centers became a deciding issue, as Democrats flipped Congress and new governors in Texas, Ohio and Georgia promised to slow the buildout. Jeff argues the real target is AI's oligarchs, OpenAI rebrands data centers as "AI compute campuses," and Anthropic's revised S-1 shows $17 billion in quarterly revenue, nearly $900 billion in commitments and a warning that self-building AI may be imminent.

   Also in this episode: Google tells schools that no AI means no Search, AI users work longer days, Gartner bets on open models, and the security firm behind the AI breakouts blames its own error. New episodes every Wednesday at aiinside.show.

    This week Jason Howell and Jeff Jarvis try to untangle a news cycle where nearly every AI story fed into the next one. Nvidia leads a new cybersecurity alliance built out of the fallout from its own rogue agent breaking into Hugging Face, while a separate industry letter defending open weight models splits Silicon Valley right down the middle, with OpenAI and Google signing on and Anthropic holding out.
