Like, people might be happy, generally, to hear that we aren't going to be replaced en masse.
And I wonder what you make of that tension, the fact that the future that they're building toward here may not actually be a future that all that many people actually want.
Well, Cade, thank you so much.
On Wednesday afternoon, NVIDIA announced that in the most recent quarter, its profit was $31.9 billion, up 65% from a year ago.
And it reported record sales.
The news buoyed its shares in aftermarket trading and was seen as a sign the jitters on Wall Street over AI had been calmed.
At least for now.
We'll be right back.
Here's what else you should know today.
On Wednesday, President Trump announced on social media that he'd signed legislation calling on the Justice Department to release its files on Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days.
But Trump's signature doesn't guarantee the release of all the files.
The bill contains significant exceptions, including a provision that allows records to be withheld if they jeopardize an active federal investigation.
Last week, Trump demanded that the Justice Department launch an investigation into Democrats mentioned in some of the files, and Attorney General Pam Bondi said she'd started one.
That could give the administration another reason to withhold documents.
And in a remarkable hearing on Wednesday, a federal judge grilled government prosecutors pursuing charges against former FBI Director James Comey, revealing serious vulnerabilities in their case.
In response to the judge's questioning, Lindsay Halligan, the U.S.
attorney handpicked by Trump to bring the case, admitted she'd never shown the second and final version of the Comey indictment to the full grand jury before the foreperson signed the charging document.
Comey's lawyers immediately seized on that irregularity, saying it justified dismissing the case entirely.
The judge didn't immediately rule on Comey's claim that the case had been filed as an act of retribution by Trump, but he seemed to be leaning in that direction and in favor of throwing out the charges altogether.
The dismissal would be a humiliation for Trump's Justice Department in a prosecution that's appeared to be slapdash from its very inception.
