NVDA’s 5.5 trillion market cap is leading from the front and has the CEOs of BlackRock, Blackstone, and Goldman Sachs sitting like schoolchildren. It’s called sitting pretty with All the Money in the World.

By the way, you will get more data centers.

Am I the only one worried about pitchforks?

Other than talking a big game, who is stuck in the mud on AI is corporate- the only place I know you can get stabbed in the back while climbing a ladder- but it wants to keep its cozy C-suite. NFL – not for long.

The AI companies like Anthropic, which is now kicking out free cash flow, are showing us how to design a modern-day company.
