I was flipping through an article, one of those tech-y news bits—can’t remember why exactly—about NVIDIA and all that’s happening over in the Middle East. You know, it’s like when you hear about an old band you thought broke up but then they’re suddenly on tour again? It’s kinda like that. Anyway, Trump’s buddies—yeah, back then it was all him and Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s big guy, running around places like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE.
So get this: these countries are planning to grab millions of AI chips from NVIDIA. Think about it—AI powered by, what, oil money? Sounds wild, right? Trump apparently signed off on some chunky deals. I was picturing him with a big ol’ pen, and maybe he was, I dunno, imagining dollar signs. But Jensen, he was all in too, revealing some AI firm over there called HUMAIN. Kinda quirky name if you ask me. They’re planning this massive AI setup with NVIDIA’s AI gear, thousands of those Blackwell Ultra GB300 clusters. What does that even look like? Giant computer towers scraping the sky, maybe. Or…maybe I’m just dreaming too big here.
Now the UAE, not just sitting around either, has this AI company, G42, that’s gonna snatch a million of those chips over the next ten years. It’s as if everyone just went, "Hey, let’s get tech-savvy and grab the future by the chips!" Meanwhile, back home, folks were whispering into Trump’s ears, kinda like, “Hey, maybe slow down, champ.” ’Cause it’s all about keeping our AI wizardry under wraps, without other countries magically getting a sneak peek, y’know?
Then there’s the China angle. Always about China, right? Something about them trying to get these AI goodies despite the US doing a “not for you” dance. It’s all political drama, high stakes, and watching where the chips fall—or maybe where they’re shipped. And there I go again, getting sidetracked. But seriously, could this swing the big AI spotlight onto the desert sands instead of Silicon Valley? I mean, could be a thing. Who knew AI would be the new oil rush?
