Brian Barrett: Yeah. Not taking away anything from him. He proactively made that bet and is responsible for Nvidia's success. It is just, I remember lame Nvidia, and to see all of this happening to new Nvidia boggles the mind.
Leah Feiger: We have to talk about ... I know that last week, again, shout out to the politics team. Everyone came on over. We wrenched the episode away from you two and discussed all sorts of midterms results, including how the country has really apparently turned away from Silicon Valley. It's been sort of amazing over the last week to watch everyone fully feel their reactions to all of this. Shout out to Palantir CEO Alex Karp, who is now a Democrat once more. Everyone's feeling things is all I have to say. But I would have to add that one of my favorite storylines that WIRED is staying on top of is white nationalists and extremists seeing this as a massive opportunity. So on election day last week, white nationalist Nick Fuentes, can't believe we're still saying his name in this day and age, he urged his supporters on X to quote, "Get out and vote Democrat." The post racked up over 12 million views and hours later when the Democrats performed so well, Fuentes took credit for the victory writing, "We did it again," on Telegram. And he later called it the groyper effect in reference to the nickname given to his followers. He sees the Democratic Party winning as part of a larger strategy for the far right to take over. He's not the only one that felt this way. David Gilbert, senior politics at WIRED, reviewed a number of comments from white supremacists, Christian nationalists, other far-right groups in the wake of the midterm results that shows much of the same. These groups basically said that Donald Trump did not go far enough. That's why they didn't win. But now that they didn't win, this is a way for them to get back in the saddle. I know that this logic is a little bit weird here, but stay with me. There is part of it that I look at and I go, "Yeah, of course there's an opportunity for them." In the last year and a half of Donald Trump being in office, you didn't really need the Proud Boys terrorizing immigrants on the street. You had ICE. You did not need a variety of rights being taken away from trans people. That was happening in the DOJ. So many different platforms that these groups espouse were being taken over by the Trump administration themselves, which they had promised these groups in effect. So all of these folks have been sort of sitting idly by, hanging out, talking to each other online with not a whole lot to do, which in theory sounds nice except for the fact that all a white supremacist really wants is to be needed, it turns out. And now the call to action is here.
