BG251:57 Nvidia demand rests on three segments, not two AI labs
“if you just kind of look at our compute, people see a couple of labs, but I see more than that. I see five, six labs.”
BG21:03:59 Compute demand depends on price, and a glut will come
“It's not a supply issue of chips. It's actually the fact that I don't have warm shells to plug into.”
BG218:36 Orbital compute could cut a gigawatt's cost from $60B to $30B
“the math you get to is it's about $5 billion per gigawatt of CapEx to put these in space.”
BG226:49 Xiaomi built a car factory in three years with 2,000 workers
“The factory makes 1,000 cars a day with 2,000 employees. It was highly automated, like really highly automated.”
