Dwarkesh Patel·low signal

In a confrontational 100-minute interview, Dwarkesh Patel pressed Jensen Huang on Nvidia's durability. Key revelations: Nvidia has $100B-$250B in foundry/memory purchase commitments creating a supply-chain moat; GPUs are allocated first-come-first-served, not to highest bidders; Huang admitted he didn't deeply internalize how hard it was to build an AI lab early on, letting AWS and Google capitalize on that need. On China, Huang argued export restrictions redirect $50B/year in Chinese spending to Huawei rather than stopping AI development.
