- 0:00Speaker 1: Well, it used to be diamonds were a girl's best friend,
- 0:04Speaker 1: Marilyn Monroe, but now it's super chips.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Our girl's best friend.
- 0:09Speaker 1: No better expert to comment on this growing soap opera
- 0:13Speaker 1: novella over the super chips than our own Rich DeMuro.
- 0:17Speaker 1: You catch him.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Rich on Tech.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Heard Sunday nights from 8 to 11 p.m. Right here
- 0:23Speaker 1: on the most listened to talk radio station in New
- 0:25Speaker 1: York City, 710WOR. So has this created a crisis in
- 0:32Speaker 1: Silicon Valley about... I have had sex outside of marriage.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I am guilty, God. What is this going to do
- 0:40Speaker 1: to the man who controls all the super chips in
- 0:42Speaker 1: the world?
- 0:44Speaker 3: Oh, I don't even think it's about that at all anymore.
- 0:47Speaker 3: I mean, this is about all these people. Just think
- 0:50Speaker 3: six months ago when every single person you spoke to,
- 0:53Speaker 3: your barber to, you know, every friend you had over
- 0:56Speaker 3: for a beer, they all said, you got to buy
- 0:58Speaker 3: Nvidia stock. You got to buy Nvidia stock. And everyone did.
- 1:02Speaker 3: And now you've got this company at the center of
- 1:04Speaker 3: one of the biggest crises we've seen in a long time,
- 1:08Speaker 3: not only because this guy cheated, but also because it
- 1:11Speaker 3: might have been with a spy. I mean, I'm telling you,
- 1:14Speaker 3: if there's not someone in Hollywood that's writing this movie
- 1:16Speaker 3: right now, they better be. There's just so many great details.
- 1:19Speaker 3: We're still learning about this woman, Alice Wong, no relation
- 1:23Speaker 3: to Jensen Wong, the guy who's in charge of NVIDIA.
- 1:26Speaker 3: Business executive, worked as a TV reporter, moved into banking
- 1:30Speaker 3: and finance. And she kind of loved her relationship with
- 1:33Speaker 3: this guy. There was a report where she was at
- 1:35Speaker 3: a party, and she bragged. She said, look, I can
- 1:38Speaker 3: get NVIDIA's Jensen Wang here. Watch. You want to see?
- 1:41Speaker 3: And sure enough, texted him, came over in a couple minutes.
- 1:45Speaker 3: And the problem here is that the U.S. has very
- 1:49Speaker 3: strong export rules on selling chips to China. And apparently
- 1:53Speaker 3: this company that she worked with, Megaspeed, They got about
- 1:58Speaker 3: $ 4 billion worth of NVIDIA AI chips. Was it because
- 2:01Speaker 3: of their relationship? I guess that'll come out in time. Wow.
- 2:05Speaker 2: You know what? You called my attention to something I
- 2:07Speaker 2: really wasn't looking at. The stock is plummeting. It was
- 2:13Speaker 2: up at $ 230. It's down to $ 168 and still going down.
- 2:19Speaker 2: And when you look at the chart, it looks like,
- 2:21Speaker 2: you know, looking over a cliff at the Grand Canyon,
- 2:24Speaker 2: it just goes straight down. Yeah, I'm glad you called
- 2:29Speaker 2: that to our attention. That's a big, that's a huge story.
- 2:33Speaker 2: All of that money.
- 2:34Speaker 3: It is huge. And it's also just, this guy is
- 2:37Speaker 3: the face of this company. I mean, he started it.
- 2:39Speaker 3: He's been running it for more than 30 years. So
- 2:42Speaker 3: the problem is investors are sitting there going, okay, we
- 2:44Speaker 3: know they make good chips. We know that maybe this
- 2:47Speaker 3: company is overvalued. We're not sure. But Is there going
- 2:50Speaker 3: to be a leader that can take this company, if necessary,
- 2:53Speaker 3: to the next level if they decide? You know, the
- 2:55Speaker 3: board's doing an investigation. Everyone's investigating right now. But the
- 2:58Speaker 3: problem is you've got this guy who is pretty much
- 3:01Speaker 3: the only guy at the company. Like, he is the
- 3:04Speaker 3: main guy. So can someone else run this company as
- 3:07Speaker 3: successful as he did and keep that stock price up
- 3:09Speaker 3: and keep them as a market leader? I mean, they're
- 3:11Speaker 3: one of the top five most valuable companies in the
- 3:14Speaker 3: world right now.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Well, the stock owners must want him out at this point,
- 3:17Speaker 2: but we'll see what happens. I want to talk about
- 3:20Speaker 2: something else because I am big on, well, everybody is now.
- 3:24Speaker 2: I'm big on Ring. Everybody has a Ring doorbell now,
- 3:27Speaker 2: but they're now stepping up their game, Rich.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit of trivia for you. I tested
- 3:33Speaker 3: the first Ring door. It was called DoorBot back in
- 3:36Speaker 3: the day when it first came out. I was one
- 3:38Speaker 3: of the first people to test it, do a story
- 3:40Speaker 3: with them. Anyway, kind of fun. I've been watching their
- 3:43Speaker 3: journey for many, many years, and now they have launched
- 3:46Speaker 3: the Ring Drone Cam. This is a $ 250 flying security
- 3:51Speaker 3: camera that can patrol inside your house. So it stays docked,
- 3:55Speaker 3: and then if there's trouble, it will fly to that room,
- 3:58Speaker 3: give you a view of what's happening, or it can
- 4:00Speaker 3: do standard patrols. It can apparently go upstairs. Obviously, it's
- 4:04Speaker 3: not walking. It's flying up there. You know, there's some
- 4:07Speaker 3: demos that people got, and, you know, it's not perfect.
- 4:11Speaker 3: It was crashing into a couple things.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Oh, no.
- 4:15Speaker 3: Don't put your glasses anywhere, you know, with this thing.
- 4:20Speaker 2: It's going to cut way down on people cheating on
- 4:22Speaker 2: their spouse, I would think. You know what?
- 4:27Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I'm curious because I know there's like a
- 4:30Speaker 4: $ 5 a month service fee for it, I heard. But
- 4:33Speaker 4: does it detect things? Does it know if the door
- 4:37Speaker 4: opens and it goes to see something? Say if you're
- 4:39Speaker 4: not home, can you set it for something crashes? Will
- 4:43Speaker 4: it know?
- 4:43Speaker 2: Yes.
- 4:44Speaker 3: Yes, those are some of the things that it can do.
- 4:46Speaker 3: So yes, if you have a ring alarm system, the
- 4:49Speaker 3: back door opens, it can fly to that back door. Now,
- 4:52Speaker 3: I did get a demo of this a couple years ago.
- 4:54Speaker 3: They've been talking about this product for years, by the way.
- 4:57Speaker 3: They had a demo of it at CES for a
- 4:58Speaker 3: couple years. Never really came to fruition. I think they
- 5:01Speaker 3: finally got to a place where They figured out how
- 5:04Speaker 3: to do this. It took them longer than they expected.
- 5:07Speaker 3: It's a good idea. Let's be honest. I mean, because
- 5:09Speaker 3: you don't have to have cameras, like you said, in
- 5:11Speaker 3: certain rooms of the house. People don't typically put cameras
- 5:14Speaker 3: in bathrooms and in bedrooms. So this has a way
- 5:17Speaker 3: to fly into those rooms to see what's going on
- 5:20Speaker 3: if someone were to use the window and that to
- 5:22Speaker 3: break in or something. So it's a good idea.
- 5:24Speaker 2: I can think of a million privacy problems off the
- 5:28Speaker 2: top of my head. Oh, yeah.
- 5:31Speaker 3: I mean, it's loud, though. This thing is not sneaking
- 5:34Speaker 3: up on anyone. So if you're, you know, doing something
- 5:37Speaker 3: in that room that no one needs to know about,
- 5:39Speaker 3: you'll know.
- 5:43Speaker 1: Wow, the technology. Incredible. Rich DeMuro. Again, you got to
