> So where is this 10GW electric supply going to come from and who is going to pay for it?
I would also like to know. It's a LOT of power to supply. Nvidia does have a ~3% stake in Applied Digital, a bitcoin miner that pivoted to AI (also a "Preferred NVIDIA Cloud Partner") with facilities in North Dakota. So they might be involved for a fraction of those 10GW, but it seems like it will be a small fraction even with all the planned expansions.

And then and "I'm {thrilled|so excited} to be here today to announce..."
This time there was more thrill... a lot of thrill.

I don't think so. Amazon has always been about being everywhere, no matter what devices you use. So I'd be surprised if Amazon doesn't release a (Prime) Video app soon. And it should be ok for Apple too, since they allow an equivalent app on iOS.

That's not the point, and your example is not very fitting. This is a person that just wanted to keep using current services like YouTube.
If "things [really] progress", they should not leave entire groups of people behind. On the contrary, progress is also about lowering the wall that prevents people to get in to the latest and greatest, no matter what their background is. Not raise it.

Interesting to see that those missives show really good grammar, spelling and formatting for the most part, differently from today's standards where orthography has somehow become optional. Even for educated people in this field.

Nice job! Just shared it with people at my job.
One minor comment: the text in the screenshots is very hard to read without enlarging, and looks blurry at least in iTunes on my mac. I would make the font a little bigger, perhaps like Textastic or even slightly bigger.
Also, the bright green for the comments is a little too... bright.
This is minor stuff but it affects the first impression a perspective customer might have. An easy fix though. =)
