Jensen Huang's looming ouster triggers an AI earthquake
Axios | achary Basu | 11/12/26

Jensen Huang's potential ouster from Nvidia has plunged the AI industry into uncharted territory - a corporate earthquake that dwarfs even the chaos unleashed by Sam Altman's temporary firing from OpenAI in 2023.

Why it matters: Nvidia is the backbone of the global AI economy, with its chips, investments and financial guarantees sustaining an entire ecosystem of companies worth trillions of dollars.

At the center of that vast financial flywheel is Huang, who spent 33 years making himself synonymous with Nvidia - and Nvidia synonymous with the AI revolution.
"This is no ordinary CEO. This is no ordinary company. This is no ordinary sector. This is no ordinary time," economist Mohamed El-Erian wrote on X, warning of contagion across the AI industry.
One of Wall Street's most prominent voices on tech, analyst Dan Ives, said Nvidia was worth 25% less without Huang.

Jensen Huang, an architect of the AI boom, resigns as Nvidia CEO
Axios | Madison Mills | 11/12/26

Jensen Huang resigned as CEO of Nvidia after he reportedly had two affairs, including one with a purported Chinese spy.

Why it matters: It's impossible to overstate how critical Huang is to Nvidia, to the AI buildout, to the stock market and economy.

His departure could, per Wall Street sources, be the catalyst that endangers a ballooning AI bubble.

Driving the news: Nvidia's board named longtime CFO Colette Kress interim CEO, while launching a search for a permanent replacement.

Kress, who joined Nvidia in 2013, will continue serving as CFO while overseeing the company.
Harvey C. Jones was appointed Nvidia's first-ever board chair.
The board said it expects Nvidia's operations, customer commitments and product roadmap to continue without interruption.

This will likely go down as one of the biggest executive scandals in history.

Nvidia is also one of the largest holdings in major index funds because of its size, meaning this move has massive implications for every American with a retirement account.

... The uncertainty surrounding Huang's position comes as the AI trade is going through one of the crises of investor confidence that have periodically hammered AI shares in recent years.

The concern this time centers on the ability of the AI build-out to continue, as rising interest rates and a saturated market curtail the sale of bonds to pay for data centers.
Chip makers like Nvidia have been particularly hard hit by this recent AI slump. Its shares were down roughly 30% from their recent high through Wednesday's close, vaporizing nearly $1.59 trillion in shareholder wealth.
There have been market drawdowns around AI before, says Eric Sheridan, a research analyst at Goldman Sachs, in a big new report on the investment cycle.
"The stakes are undoubtedly higher now as we're further along in the cycle and the dollars being spent have grown considerably, which may be adding to investor skittishness."

AI - Artificial Intelligence

AIArtificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, as opposed to the natural intelligence displayed by animals including humans. AI research has been defined as the field of study of intelligent agents, which refers to any system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of achieving its goals.

The term "artificial intelligence" had previously been used to describe machines that mimic and display "human" cognitive skills that are associated with the human mind, such as "learning" and "problem-solving". This definition has since been rejected by major AI researchers who now describe AI in terms of rationality and acting rationally, which does not limit how intelligence can be articulated.

Quantum mechanics | AI - Artificial Intelligence

Quantum mechanics

Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that provides a description of the physical properties of nature at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles. It is the foundation of all quantum physics including quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science.
Classical physics, the collection of theories that existed before the advent of quantum mechanics, describes many aspects of nature at an ordinary (macroscopic) scale, but is not sufficient for describing them at small (atomic and subatomic) scales. Most theories in classical physics can be derived from quantum mechanics as an approximation valid at large (macroscopic) scale.

Wall Street and Banksters

Wall Street is an eight-block-long street running roughly northwest to southeast from Broadway to South Street, at the East River, in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City. Over time, the term has become a metonym for the financial markets of the United States as a whole, the American financial services industry (even if financial firms are not physically located there), or New York-based financial interests.

Nuclear weapons have come a long way and come in all types of different sizes. Some are relatively small while others are enormous, so big they boggle the mind at what they can be capable of, i.e. the Soviet 'Tsar Bomba' is/was 3,000 times greater than the Hiroshima bomb.

China Valley of Tunnels

China Valley of Tunnels

A report written by a Georgetown University team led by Phillip Karber conducted a three-year study to map out China’s complex tunnel system, which stretches 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The report determined that the stated Chinese nuclear arsenal is understated and as many as 3,000 nuclear warheads may be stored in the underground tunnel network.

911

911

On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists attacked the Unites States. They hijacked four airplanes in mid-flight. The terrorists flew two of the planes into two skyscrapers at the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact caused the buildings to catch fire and collapse. Another plane destroyed part of the Pentagon (the U.S. military headquarters) in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Officials believe that the terrorists on that plane intended to destroy either the White House or the U.S. Capitol. Passengers on the plane fought the terrorists and prevented them from reaching their goal. In all, nearly 3,000 people were killed in the 9/11 attacks.
