  1. Part 10 · A model, not a priceOct 1, 2026

    The residual-value numbers on Nvidia's slide are not actual second-hand prices but the present value of current rental income run out over 8 years according to a continuous discounted cash flow model built on assumptions like 75% utilization and a…

  2. Part 10 · A model, not a priceOct 5, 2026

    The creator calculates that Nvidia's plan to ship over 10 million chips of Blackwell and Rubin by the end of 2026 implies a total required power of roughly 17 to 23 GW, averaging around 20 GW, and questions whether enough data centers are under…

  3. Part 10 · Still renting at January pricesOct 2, 2026

    The creator believes that if OpenAI were public, its stock would have gapped up 30% or more on hitting $70 billion in ARR, a blowout versus expectations on the level of Nvidia in May 2023, and that the figure proves his August report that OpenAI's…

  4. Part 10 · Not the customers, yetOct 5, 2026

    There is an AI lab bubble, though not an AI bubble infecting the whole market, as shown by Nvidia's valuation having come down significantly; excessive excitement surrounds Anthropic and OpenAI because they are new and exciting even though they…

  5. Part 10 · Not the customers, yetSep 25, 2026

    The visible, Nvidia-funded circular financing in AI (Nvidia investing in or lending to companies that then buy Nvidia chips) is out in the open and funded from Nvidia's own cash flow, and is not what disturbs the speaker; what disturbs him is the…

  6. Part 10 · Everyone, soonSep 16, 2026

    AWS has had more demand than supply, with customers wanting more AWS capacity for AI than could be served despite large Nvidia orders and Amazon's own Trainium chips, and the creator considers this kind of capacity-constrained spending among the…

  7. Part 10 · A long end nobody capsSep 28, 2026

    Manufacturers such as Nvidia and hyperscalers such as Oracle and Google Cloud are offering residual value guarantees for chips not because they want to but because lenders require them, given that chip depreciation is a very real problem following…

    AWS has had more demand than supply, with customers wanting more AWS capacity for AI than could be served despite large Nvidia orders and Amazon's own Trainium chips, and the creator considers this kind of capacity-constrained spending among the…

  10. Part 08 · Real cash, real useSep 7, 2026

    Current AI demand is highly visible: Microsoft says demand exceeds available capacity, NVIDIA is supply constrained, optical companies are sold out, customers are pulling deliveries forward, signing long-term agreements, and some are prepaying cash…

  11. Part 08 · Guarantees, not faithSep 9, 2026

    NVIDIA has extended payment terms for investment-grade customers from 90 days to a full year, lengthening days sales outstanding by 14 days.

  12. Part 02 · Exit liquidityJun 8, 2026

    The Google SpaceX GPU rental is bullish for Nvidia because there are still not enough GPUs to quench demand; Nvidia ramps production continuously but cannot follow demand.

  13. Part 02 · Exit liquidityAug 6, 2026

    SpaceX's AI segment reveals the industry's bad accounting habits: how AI revenue is counted, what is hidden in construction-in-progress, and where the Nvidia GPUs everyone calls short-supplied actually are.

  14. Part 01 · ManufacturedJul 9, 2026

    NVIDIA's revenue growth is only mostly real because circular financing sustains marginal AI compute demand above market-rate levels, and resolution of the power bottleneck will reduce revenue recurrence and compress the scarcity premium in margins…

  15. Part 01 · InsatiableJun 8, 2026

    The Google SpaceX GPU rental is bullish for Nvidia because there are still not enough GPUs to quench demand; Nvidia ramps production continuously but cannot follow demand.

One line per story, from the story itself.

  2. Part 04Defense has a case

    Quanta 72 compares Cisco, EMC, Oracle and Sun with Nvidia, Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon and points to the difference: the dot-com suppliers depended on customers who could stop buying, while today’s spenders fund the buildout from advertising, cloud, software and e-commerce.

    AI Spending Has Met Its First Real Bill

  3. Part 04Defense has a case

    That is the market’s split in one glance: Nvidia and Micron have been paid for scarcity; Alphabet, Meta and Oracle have been charged for financing.

    AI Spending Has Met Its First Real Bill

  6. Part 03Debt is the product

    His sharpest exhibit is that Nvidia was in talks to guarantee roughly $250 billion of lease and debt financing for an OpenAI data-center campus in Ohio, plus up to $350 billion for OpenAI’s chip purchases.

    The Machines Will Work. The Debt Might Not.

  7. Part 02The meter versus the map

    At a conservative market rental rate, he estimates that selling frontier-model inference on current Nvidia hardware generates over $100 billion per gigawatt-year of revenue against roughly $12 billion of cost.

  8. Part 02The meter versus the map

    He asked what sits inside construction-in-progress, how the AI segment’s revenue is counted and where all the Nvidia GPUs said to be in short supply actually are.
