Microsoft went down. NVIDIA melted down. Duds built an AI company. Bright preloaded GTA VI. And somehow the night ended with a Blues shootout win.
So, yeah. Pretty normal NFNP.
In Episode 2x37, Bright and Duds kick off their second in-person recording by talking through the Microsoft 365 outage that disrupted Outlook, Teams and a whole lot of actual work. From there, the conversation turns to the biggest story of the week: Jensen Huang stepping down at NVIDIA, the scandal surrounding his departure, the massive market reaction, and the bigger question of how much of NVIDIA’s value was tied to one person.
That leads straight into the AI economy, the AI bubble debate, Bitcoin, market volatility and whether investors really treat crypto as independent from the stock market when everything gets sold off at the same time.
Then things get even more NFNP.
Duds explains how he built an entire fake company staffed by AI bots, complete with a CEO, CFO, marketing team, quality manager and engineer. Bright counters with his own increasingly ridiculous AI setup, including a personal styling app, household maintenance tracking, financial monitoring, a cloud-based AI assistant that helped secure Rush tickets at the Sphere, and the realization that AI can now do a lot more than write emails.
The guys also get into:
* Ring’s new moving security cameras, indoor drone cams and robot security systems
* whether AI should ever be allowed to identify and respond to threats on its own
* why a robot passing an “I am not a robot” test feels like a bad sign
* Rush at the Sphere and which bands are worth traveling for
* the economics of concert tickets and destination shows
* GTA VI finally being preloaded
* the absurd 210 GB download
* Wi-Fi vs. wired download speeds
* whether taking two days off work to play GTA VI is reasonable adult behavior
* Napster, Kazaa, Scour and the early days of downloading music
* Halo LAN parties, split-screen gaming and why multiplayer used to be better
* Civilization, board games and how gaming changes as you get older
* Dark Matter, Severance, Silo and other shows worth watching
* St. Louis CITY SC’s playoff setup against LAFC
* and a live Blues game that refuses to end until the podcast does
By the end, the guys are watching the Blues survive a shootout, talking CITY playoffs, and teasing the next AI-driven NFNP episode.
