  • The biggest company in the world has been making the same product since 1993.

  • GPUs, graphics, processing units, or chips.

  • It was niche at first.

  • If you were a really serious gamer back in like 1998,

  • you'd be buying one of NVIDIA's graphics cards and putting that into your high-powered gaming computer.

  • In 2025, NVIDIA is still making chips,

  • but now those chips are more advanced and they're being sold to people who are training AI models,

  • your clods and your chat GPTs.

  • AI has become such a big part of the American economy that the entire stock market can swing on whether NVIDIA releases a good earnings report or a bad one.

  • Meanwhile, President Trump has developed a work bromance with NVIDIA's co-founder and CEO,

  • Jensen Huang.

  • This is a smart cookie.

  • Coming up on Today, explain what does Jensen Wong really want?

  • Support for the show comes from Odoo.

  • Running a business is hard enough,

  • so why make it harder with a dozen different apps that don't talk to each other?

  • Introducing Odoo.

  • It's the only business software you'll ever need.

  • It's an all-in-one, fully integrated platform that makes your work easier.

  • CRM, accounting, inventory, e-commerce, and more.
