  • Good morning.

  • It's Thursday, November 20th.

  • I'm Shimit Basu.

  • This is Apple News Today.

  • On today's show, people with a direct line to the White House appear to be getting fast-tracked presidential pardons.

  • A surprising side story in last year's Baltimore bridge collapse,

  • and the cattle farmers who want you to cuddle their cows.

  • But first, there was a sigh of relief across the stock market yesterday

  • as the chipmaker Nvidia posted strong sales and profits, beating expectations.

  • On their earnings call, CEO Jensen Huang said demand for their powerful AI chips was off the charts

  • and pointed to the ubiquity of their technology.

  • The reason why developers love us is because we're literally everywhere.

  • We're in every cloud, we're in every computer, we're everywhere,

  • from cloud to robotic systems, edge devices, PCs, you name it, one architecture, things just work.

  • It's incredible.

  • Even if you have zero interest or personal stake in AI,

  • many would argue that everyone's finances are now kind of tied up in the technology one way or another,

  • because of its outsized role in driving American growth.

  • Pensions, house prices, and the job market are now indirectly connected to whether AI can beat the hype.

  • That's what makes yesterday's results so potentially significant.
