Nvidia continues to dominate the AI chip race, delivering a blockbuster quarter that left Wall Street cheering—even as the company grapples with a massive $8 billion blow from U.S. export restrictions to China.
The AI powerhouse reported $44.1 billion in revenue, up from $26 billion a year earlier, with strong earnings per share and resilient momentum in its data center segment. The key driver? Unwavering demand for Nvidia’s next-gen Blackwell chips, particularly from major cloud providers like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.
While the U.S. government’s ban on shipments of the H20 chips to China left Nvidia unable to tap into an estimated $50 billion Chinese market, CEO Jensen Huang remained undeterred, emphasizing that innovation and scale would continue to power the company’s global expansion.
“The $50 billion China market is effectively closed to U.S. industry,” Huang said, adding that China is already shifting to local AI alternatives. “But the AI race is about more than chips—it’s about the entire stack. That’s where Nvidia wins.”

Indeed, Blackwell GPUs—which now account for 70% of Nvidia’s data center sales—are already deployed in “tens of thousands” at Microsoft alone. The newer Blackwell Ultra, promising even faster performance, begins shipping this quarter and is expected to accelerate Nvidia’s lead.
Even more promising is the growing shift from AI training to inference—where Nvidia’s chips are used to power real-time responses from AI models like ChatGPT, Bard, and enterprise assistants. Huang described the future of AI as one where models “think, reason, and plan”, demanding exponential increases in compute power.

“We are witnessing a sharp jump in inference demand,” Huang said. “Modern AI doesn’t just guess—it thinks. It reads, plans, watches, and then creates.”
Wall Street responded with confidence. Nvidia stock jumped 5%, hitting its highest level since January, as analysts praised the company’s performance amid geopolitical headwinds.
“There is one chip in the world fueling the AI revolution, and it’s Nvidia,” said Dan Ives of Wedbush.
Even as Nvidia explores limited ways to re-enter the Chinese market, it’s clear that its dominance in the AI space remains unshaken. With Blackwell shipments ramping up and demand for AI infrastructure growing across every major tech player, the company’s trajectory is firmly pointed upward—regardless of export walls.
OpenAI’s Sora app is already flooded with eerie deepfakes of CEO Sam Altman in surreal scenarios.
When OpenAI unveiled its new social media app Sora, it promised a bold new way to experience AI-generated video. What early users received, however, feels more like a nightmarish fever dream starring none other than Sam Altman himself.
Within hours of launch, the invite-only app was overrun with uncanny deepfakes of the OpenAI CEO. In one viral clip, Altman appears inside a factory farm packed with pink pigs, each pen equipped with a smartphone streaming vertical videos. Staring directly at the camera, the AI-generated Altman asks chillingly: “Are my piggies enjoying their slop?”
Moments later, the feed shifts to another surreal scene — Altman standing in a field of Pokémon, from Pikachu to Bulbasaur, casually remarking: “I hope Nintendo doesn’t sue us.”
The internet’s new obsession: Altman everywhere
The bizarre trend didn’t stop there. Users generated videos of “Altman” pouring Starbucks lattes for Pikachu and Eric Cartman, yelling at customers behind a McDonald’s counter, or even running away from police after stealing Nvidia GPUs from a Target store.
The app itself cheekily acknowledges the chaos. In some clips, Altman’s AI double announces, “This content may violate our guardrails concerning third-party likeness,” before bursting into hysterical laughter — as if mocking the very warnings the app is designed to enforce.
Copyright chaos on display
Sora is already under fire for how it handles copyright. Unlike most platforms where creators must opt in to allow their content to be used, OpenAI has flipped the model: copyright holders must opt out to prevent their works from appearing. Legal experts say this raises troubling questions, especially when videos depict characters like Naruto, Mario, or even Pikachu performing adult or absurd actions.
“People are pushing Sora’s boundaries just to see how far it will go,” one user posted on X, pointing to clips of Mario smoking weed or Pikachu performing ASMR.
Why Sora feels different
What sets Sora apart from other AI apps, including the Meta AI feed, is the realism. OpenAI has fine-tuned its video generator to obey the laws of physics more convincingly, making scenes look disturbingly authentic. The more convincing these deepfakes become, the greater the risk they’ll be used for misinformation, bullying, or worse.

Sora is, at its core, a deepfake generator with social features. Upon joining, users are prompted to create a “cameo” by recording biometric data — turning their heads, reading numbers aloud, and effectively handing the app a digital replica of their likeness. Users can then choose who’s allowed to generate content with their cameo: “only me,” “people I approve,” “mutuals,” or “everyone.”
A glimpse into the future?
The frenzy around Altman deepfakes highlights both the allure and the dangers of this technology. On one hand, it showcases Sora’s jaw-dropping realism and creative potential. On the other, it raises urgent ethical questions: What happens when hyper-realistic AI versions of public figures — or private individuals — flood the internet without consent?
For now, Sora is invite-only, but if this is the preview, the public launch could be even more chaotic. Whether it becomes the next TikTok of AI or collapses under controversy, one thing is certain: Sam Altman will never look at a Target store the same way again.
Google marks 27 years since its founding as a typo turned into the world’s most iconic search engine.
Almost every internet user around the globe interacts with Googledaily — searching, mapping, emailing, or watching videos on YouTube, another Google-owned platform. But on its 27th birthday, celebrated on September 27, many still wonder: what does the name “Google” really mean, and how did it come to define the digital age?
The meaning behind Google
The name “Google” is actually derived from the mathematical term Googol — the number 1 followed by 100 zeros (10¹⁰⁰). The word was first coined by Milton Sirotta, the young nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, as a playful way to describe unimaginably large numbers.
For foundersLarry Page and Sergey Brin, twoStanford University Ph.D. students in the late 1990s, the term reflected their ambition: to organize a seemingly infinite amount of information on the internet and make it accessible to everyone.
From BackRub to Google
Google wasn’t always Google. In 1996, Brin and Page created a search engine prototype and named it BackRub, referencing the system’s ability to analyze “backlinks” on web pages. But by 1997, the pair realized the name lacked the ambition and gravitas their project deserved.
Brainstorming led them to consider “Googolplex” — a number that is 1 followed by a Googol of zeros. Eventually, they settled on the shorter Googol. But fate, and a small spelling error, had other plans.
A typo that changed the internet
During the process of registering the website, graduate student Sean Anderson accidentally typed “Google” instead of “Googol” while checking domain availability. To everyone’s surprise, google.com was available. Larry Page immediately approved, and within hours the domain was officially registered.
What was once a typo became one of the most recognizable names — and companies — in human history.
The rise of a global giant
Google officially incorporated on September 4, 1998, though the company celebrates its birthday on September 27, marking key internal milestones. What started in a garage in Menlo Park, California, grew into a powerhouse that now dominates global search, advertising, cloud computing, and mobile operating systems through Android.
In 2015, Google restructured under a new parent company, Alphabet Inc., with Indian-born executiveSundar Pichai appointed as CEO of both Google and Alphabet. Brin and Page remain influential insiders with significant voting power.
Today, Google processes over 8.5 billion searches per day, owns a portfolio of services including Gmail, Maps, and Drive, and is at the forefront of artificial intelligence with products like Gemini.
A name that became a verb
The misspelled name did more than build a brand — it became a verb. To “Google” something is now synonymous with searching for information online, a linguistic achievement that underscores its cultural dominance.
From a typo on a university campus to the backbone of the digital age, Google’s story shows how small accidents can shape history. On its 27th birthday, the company remains a giant not just of technology, but of modern language and daily life.
