Brian, hello. Very exciting to have another way to talk to you when I'm not pinging you on Slack every five seconds.

It's great because, you know, Slack doesn't have the voice part.

It doesn't.

I will say, very sad that Leah won't be a part of that journey today.

I know. It is really sad, but when the Leah is away, the mice will play, we will be talking about topics that Leah hates, so just wait.

And to be clear, she'll be back next week. She's just sick. Yeah. It's allergy season.

Welcome to Wyard's Uncanny Valley. I'm Zoe Schiffer, Wired's director of business and industry.

I'm Brian Barrett, executive editor.

This week on the show, we're diving into

Nvidia's annual developer conference,

why some Tesla influencers are fleeing the brand,

and why meta has finally shut down Horizon Worlds on MetaQuest.

So, to start us off, this week, Nvidia had its annual developer conference in San Jose.

This is like the big event in the AI industry.

Some people even call it the Super Bowl of AI.

Developers go, CEOs, researchers, wired reporters.

And we're all waiting to hear what CEO, Jensen Huang, is going to tell us about the future of the company.

One thing that's interesting about the Nvidia conference, too, is I feel like so much of it is business-facing.

Like, it's not a lot of stuff that you, as an AI consumer or someone who, like, plays around a clawed, wouldn't necessarily connect with.

One thing, with a grain of salt, because this is someone who stands to make this money.

But Jensen did say the revenue opportunity for artificial intelligence ships just at NVIDIA might reach at least a trillion dollars through 2027.

Pocket change.
