If Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang ran a food truck: What would he serve other than chips?
Imagine this: Jensen Huang, the leather-jacket-wearing CEO of Nvidia and the man who basically turbocharged the AI boom, decides to take a little detour from chips and GPUs… and opens a food truck. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But not your average street-side taco van—oh no. This would be a full-blown geeky gourmet experience, where tech meets taste in the quirkiest way possible. So, what would Jensen serve? Let's take a hungry stroll through his (totally imaginary but totally awesome) menu. The Byte Burger This burger doesn't just hit your taste buds—it anticipates your hunger before the first bite. Lab-grown meat makes it eco-friendly, and the bun? It changes color based on your mood, thanks to tiny sensors. Want fries with that? Go for the 'Quantum Chips'—crispy little things that somehow know what your next craving will be. GPU Skewers (Grilled Protein Units) Think skewers, but smarter. Each one's been marinated in an AI-crafted spice mix that hits the sweet spot between flavor and fire. Grilled using heat maps that monitor the skewer in real time (because of course they do), these come with 'Cache Sauce' in reusable containers—bring it back next time for a discount. Save the planet, get saucy. Neural Network Nachos Nachos that learn your taste. Seriously. Start eating, and the dish adapts to what you like—more cheese, less spice, maybe a meat swap. Every layer of cheese, beans, and toppings evolves. Topped with 'Deep Learning Salsa,' which gets better (and spicier) over time. Moore's Law Milkshakes Named after the tech law that basically explains why your phone gets better every year, these shakes double in thickness every two years. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now You've got classics like Vanilla 2.0, Chocolate 4.0, and yes, Strawberry Quantum. Each comes with a smart straw that adjusts based on how thick the shake is. Because sucking on a blocked straw is so last decade. The Silicon Sundae Tech nerds meet sweet tooths right here. This sundae features layers of plant-based ice cream, crunchy 'Silicon Chips,' and a scoop of 'Cloud Cream' that literally melts like a dream. Think futuristic dessert meets retro joy. Biryani 4090 A loving shoutout to Jensen's favorite dish, but of course, it's cooked using an RTX 4090-powered rice cooker. Yep, that's a thing—at least in this world. Every grain speaks of perfection. Served warm in a thermally balanced container and comes with 'Latency Raita'—a side dip that cools your palate just right, without delay. Egg Coffee 2.0 If you know, you know—Jensen's been a longtime fan of Hanoi-style egg coffee. This version? AI-enhanced. It figures out how sweet you like your cup and tweaks it accordingly. Served in a mug that changes its design depending on the time of day. Morning? Mountains. Evening? Glitch art. Quantum Quesadilla This one's basically Schrödinger's lunch—it exists in multiple states until you bite it. The filling? Determined by a quantum algorithm. So you never get the same combo twice, but it's always ridiculously good. Dip it in some 'Entanglement Salsa' for a taste explosion. Denny's Diner Delight A nostalgic throwback to Jensen's early days hustling in America. Classic diner breakfast—but smarter. Pancakes that self-adjust their fluffiness based on your altitude (ever had a Denver pancake? Now you will). Eggs cooked with algorithmic precision, plus 'Legacy Syrup' that hits with old-school sweetness. The Startup Special Just like a real startup, this dish pivots daily. One day it's a sushi burrito, the next it's a spaghetti taco. You never know what you're gonna get, but you'll always get a crunchy side of 'Pivot Pickles.' It's chaotic. It's delicious. It's disruptive. If Jensen Huang ever actually launched a food truck, it wouldn't just feed your belly—it would fry your brain (in a good way). Smart food, adaptive menus, flavor calibrated by data… it'd be part tech experiment, part art installation, and part comfort food heaven. So next time you're wandering a street fair and spot a sleek black truck with green neon accents and a leather-clad man at the window, don't be surprised. Order the Byte Burger, sip a Quantum Shake, and know you've just been fed by one of the smartest chefs in Silicon Valley—GPU-style.

Trump's AI czar downplays risk AI chip exports could be smuggled
Trump rescinded Biden's executive order aimed at promoting competition, protecting consumers and ensuring AI was not used for misinformation. He also rescinded Biden's so-called AI diffusion rule, which capped the amount of American AI computing capacity that some countries were allowed to obtain via US AI chip imports. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads White House AI czar David Sacks on Tuesday downplayed the risk that coveted American AI chips could be smuggled to bad actors, and expressed concern that regulating U.S. AI too tightly could stifle growth and cede the critical market to China."We talk about these chips like they could be smuggled in the back of a briefcase. That's not what they look like. These are server racks that are eight feet tall and weigh two tons," Sacks said at the AWS summit in Washington."They don't walk out doors. It's very easy to basically verify that they're where they're supposed to be," he comments indicated President Donald Trump 's approach to AI could be centered on expanding markets abroad for U.S. AI chips and models. Former President Joe Biden had emphasized policies that countered risks the chips could be diverted to China and used to bolster Beijing's military."I do worry we're on a trajectory where fear could overtake opportunity and we end up sort of crippling this wonderful progress that we're seeing," Sacks said, citing a raft of bills in state legislatures seeking to regulate AI, as well as permitting challenges facing companies seeking to build the data centers that power rescinded Biden's executive order aimed at promoting competition, protecting consumers and ensuring AI was not used for misinformation. He also rescinded Biden's so-called AI diffusion rule, which capped the amount of American AI computing capacity that some countries were allowed to obtain via US AI chip imports."We rescinded that Biden diffusion rule, diffusion a bad word. Diffusion of our technology should be a good word," Sacks Trump administration and the United Arab Emirates also announced a plan last month for the Gulf country to build the largest artificial intelligence campus outside the U.S. after Biden in 2023 put in place rules that curbed most AI chip shipments to the aim at that regulation, Sacks said, "What play are we giving them? We're basically going to push them into the arms of China."He added that if, in five years, AI chips made by sanctioned Chinese telecoms equipment giant Huawei were everywhere, "that means we can't let that happen."The need to remove hurdles to U.S. AI innovation is urgent as China has made important advances in its AI models, Sacks said. This year, the Chinese AI app DeepSeek shocked the world with its sophisticated, affordably trained model."China is not years and years behind us in AI. Maybe they're three to six months," said Sacks. "It's a very close race." The White House later said he was referring to China's AI models, adding that Chinese AI chips are one to two years behind their U.S. counterparts.

Impact of AI & e-commerce on Australia's fashion sector
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is embedded in every industry and is reshaping business as we know it. AI is transforming Australia's retail and fashion sectors, empowering businessesâ€'big and smallâ€'with smarter marketing, personalised experiences, and efficient operations. As e-commerce growth continues post-pandemic, success now hinges on using AI mindfully to scale, connect authentically with consumers, and stay competitive in a changing landscape. Australia has fast become one of the greatest adopters of AI, ranked 16th out of 36 countries in Stanford's AI Vibrancy Index and accelerated by well-developed cloud infrastructure and a relatively high digital maturity compared to other mid-sized economies. The country's retail and fashion sectors are prime examples of key industries embracing AI in new and transformative ways; from streamlining logistics to personalising customer experiences, AI is fast becoming an indispensable tool in both physical and online retail environments. Jenn Donovan, Director of Social Media & Marketing Australia and speaker at the upcoming Global Sourcing Expo, taking place at the Sydney ICC from 17 – 19 June, believes that - if used correctly - AI can quickly become one of the industry's greatest assets. 'AI is giving marketers in the retail industry a second set of hands – and sometimes even a second brain, ' she shares. ' It ' s helping us work smarter, not harder, by automating the repetitive stuff and giving us powerful insights into our audience ' s behaviour. ' One of its biggest advantages, however, lies in its accessibility, as Jenn explains: 'These tools aren't just for big businesses with big budgets – they're accessible and easy to use for time-poor small business owners.' When it comes to deploying AI, Jenn adds that content creation is the easiest starting point for most small businesses. 'Whether it's blog posts, social media posts, website write ups, magazine write ups or website descriptions, AI is supporting small businesses in their marketing efforts.' She points to tools such as ChatGPT, Canva, Opus Clip and Notion AI as some of the top platforms that should form part of every retailer's arsenal. eCommerce Five Years On The pandemic acted as a powerful accelerator for eCommerce growth. With lockdowns confining people to their homes, online spending surged to an unprecedented $50.46 billion in 2020 - a 57% increase from the previous year. By 2024, that momentum continued to grow, with eCommerce sales reaching AU$56.07 billion . Olivia Carr, Founder and CEO of Shhh Silk and speaker at Global Sourcing Expo has witnessed, and been a part of, the eCommerce evolution. 'The past five years have accelerated a fundamental shift in eCommerce, from transactional to transformational,' she says. 'We've witnessed firsthand how customers no longer just seek products; they seek brands that align with their values, understand their lifestyle and deliver emotionally resonant experiences.' She adds: 'We've responded by moving beyond simply selling silk pillowcases toward creating rituals and experiences that support rest, wellness and emotional reset.' Speaking to AI in small businesses, Olivia notes that AI, when used mindfully, can help us elevate this experience through more intuitive service and storytelling. However, faced with increasing operational costs, global competition and rising customer expectations some small businesses remain behind the curve. Another key challenge lies in balancing growth with integrity. 'To scale social impact authentically, eCommerce brands must define a clear mission, embed it into their product and customer experience and hold themselves accountable.' Looking ahead, as AI continues to evolve and embed itself within the retail and fashion sectors, Australian businesses – both big and small - are poised to benefit from smarter, more personalised and efficient operations. Meanwhile, the sustained growth of eCommerce reflects a permanent shift in consumer behaviour that shows no signs of slowing. Success will depend on how well brands balance innovation with authenticity, embracing technology like AI to enhance customer experience without losing sight of their core values.
