Summary: Trump's done something rather unexpected — he's given Nvidia the green light to sell their H200 chips directly to China, which is a massive reversal from the previous export restrictions. This is genuinely surprising because national security concerns were supposedly the entire reason for blocking these sales in the first place. Jensen Huang's been lobbying hard for this, and it looks like it's worked, though Nvidia still has to cough up 15% of Chinese revenues to the US government, which is frankly just a corporate bribe dressed up in policy language. Meanwhile, Singapore's been buying about 30% of all Nvidia's chips for a country that size, which is... suspicious, shall we say.

On the OpenAI front, we're expecting ChatGPT 5.2 (or possibly 5.5) to drop this week — probably Thursday if they stick to form. Sam Altman put the company into code red mode last week after Gemini 3 rattled them, so they've paused everything else to focus entirely on this release. I also spent a good chunk of the show discussing the inevitable reality that ChatGPT will have to introduce advertising at some point because their current financial model is completely unsustainable. They're burning through billions, and whilst nobody wants ads in their AI chat, it's coming. Google's probably thrilled about this because they can sit back and watch OpenAI take all the heat for going first.
