- 'Terminator' director James Cameron flip-flops on AI, says Hollywood is 'looking at it all wrong'
- Nvidia announces plans to make AI supercomputers in US for first time
- 4-legged hydrogen-powered robot you can actually ride
'I'LL BE BACK': James Cameron's stance on artificial intelligence has evolved over the past few years, and he feels Hollywood needs to embrace it in a few different ways.
MADE IN AMERICA: Nvidia on Monday announced plans to manufacture its artificial intelligence supercomputers entirely in the U.S. for the first time.
RIDEABLE 4-LEGGED ROOT: Kawasaki Heavy Industries has introduced something that feels straight out of a video game: CORLEO, a hydrogen-powered, four-legged robot prototype designed to be ridden by humans. Unveiled at the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025, this futuristic machine is built to handle rugged terrain with ease, combining cutting-edge robotics and sustainable energy.
AI LAB PARTNER: The folks at Hugging Face, the open-source artificial intelligence gurus, just jumped into the world of robotics by acquiring Pollen Robotics. And right out of the gate, they are offering the Reachy 2, a super-interesting humanoid robot designed as a "lab partner for the AI era."
AI MIND READER: Researchers in California have achieved a significant breakthrough with an AI-powered system that restores natural speech to paralyzed individuals in real time, using their own voices, specifically demonstrated in a clinical trial participant who is severely paralyzed and cannot speak.
ROBOT MILKS COWS: In a dairy barn managed by robots, cows can choose to be milked whenever they like, which is often more frequent than the twice-a-day schedule in traditional farms. This increased frequency is more comfortable for the cows and can lead to roughly a 10% increase in milk production.

Vol. 38, No. 5: ‘An Nvidia'
We have a feeling that Nvidia will be in the news for a while, so let's clear up a couple of grammar/Wall Street Journal stylebook points that relate to the chip maker with the supersonic stock. The easy one is its name. Every editor should know by now that the company presents its name in all-caps: NVIDIA. But it's Nvidia to us, under our rule that we allow a maximum of only four capped letters in a pronounceable proper name, to avoid having our articles look like alphabet soup. So, it's Nvidia—but, for example, NAACP since the latter isn't pronounceable. Now, here's the style point that might blow some minds. Do we say a Nvidia executive or an Nvidia executive? Probably many people will say the former, but that is only because many of us mispronounce Nvidia as 'Nah-VID-eeyah.' The article before the name should actually be 'an'—because Nvidia is pronounced en-VID-eeyah (as if the N is pronounced as a letter, then vidia). So as with any vowel sound, that calls for an not a before it. An Nvidia executive. And this all really makes sense when we realize, as noted by WSJ tech writer Asa Fitch, that Nvidia's name was inspired by the Latin word for envy: invidia. Hence the pronunciation. (This also explains why the company's logo is green.) A final point, for now: The stylebook notes that Nvidia is a chip maker or an AI chip company. Avoid calling it a manufacturer. Always be careful if the phrase 'times more than' crops up. It has led to several corrections. One of the WSJ's latest was when we said that U.S. imports from China were three times larger than what was exported to China. But $438.9 billion, the imports-from-China number, is actually only two times larger than the export number of $143.5 billion. It's a common misconception to look at two figures such as those and write that one is 'three times larger.' We meant to say either two times larger, or preferably, three times as much. Here's the math logic: When something doubles, it doesn't become two times larger. That would be a tripling. The phrase we want is twice as much. There's always one degree of difference between 'larger' and 'as much.' The key words to watch out for are 'larger' (or the same problem with 'times more'). We always have to check if the math holds up. It often means that 'as much' is the phrase to use. Meanwhile, watch for any times less likely phrases (mathematically impossible). See the times smaller/times more entry in the stylebook. Send questions or comments to William Power at ISSN 1054-7041

Nvidia (NVDA) Seeks Return to China with New B40 AI Chip
Nvidia (NVDA, Financials) is preparing to reenter China's AI data center market with a custom B40 processor, Shenzhen-based ZJK Industrial said Thursday. ZJK plans to begin mass production of the B40 chip as early as this month, aiming to meet growing demand for Nvidia's B40 project, according to a company news release. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. The B40 accelerator is based on Nvidia's Blackwell architecture and targets mid- to high-end Chinese customers. Nvidia has been unable to ship AI data center products to China since the U.S. government barred its H20 processor in early April. We are still evaluating our limited options. Until we settle on a new product design and receive approval from the U.S. government, we are effectively foreclosed from China's $50 billion data center market, an Nvidia spokesperson said. On Thursday, Nvidia shares fell 1.4 percent to $139.99 in New York trading. Meanwhile, ZJK Industrial stock jumped 12 percent to close at 5.40 in Shenzhen. ZJK, which supplies precision components for electronic and AI systems, said that B40 shipments could exceed one million units by year-end, complementing Nvidia's global RTX Pro 6000 workstation graphics cards. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told analysts on a May 28 conference call that the company is exploring options to serve Chinese customers again. If the B40 design receives U.S. approval, Nvidia could regain access to China's lucrative data center market. For now, Chinese partners such as ZJK are taking the lead in adapting Nvidia's architecture to local regulations and demand. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

The mirror world of retail: Why digital twins are becoming the CFO's best friend and the CEO's newest weapon
The boardroom no longer needs a crystal ball—it needs a digital twin. Once the domain of aerospace engineers and industrial automation purists, digital twin technology has now taken a central seat at the retail and CPG leadership table—and not just as a proof-of-concept for innovation theater. We're talking about real-time, AI-enabled, multi-threaded simulations of products, supply chains, shopper behaviors, stores, and yes, even executive decisions. What we're witnessing is the operationalization of synthetic foresight at scale. In capital markets, we call this 'Monte Carlo simulation meets real-world telemetry.' In retail, we call it a miracle. And unlike your average miracle, this one throws off free cash flow. Digital twins—AI- and IoT-powered virtual replicas of physical assets—are no longer niche. They are becoming enterprise-grade strategy platforms. In their highest form, they operate at four levels of organizational intelligence: Sensing: real-time telemetry and data capture Simulating: AI-trained models predicting future states Orchestrating: dynamic recommendations across workflows Autonomizing: closed-loop feedback systems optimizing operations without human intervention. Think of this as the digital equivalent of Ray Dalio's economic flywheel—except it's running a grocery chain instead of a hedge fund. Walmart and Alibaba are virtualizing everything from last-mile logistics to in-store merchandising. Walmart has created twins for over 1,700 stores using NVIDIA's Omniverse platform. These environments simulate shelf layouts, customer traffic patterns, and even peak-hour checkout chaos with alarming granularity. That's the power of behavioral AI when fused with spatial simulation and historical POS data. Meanwhile, has deployed full-fleet supply chain twins across China that are able to reroute deliveries in sub-seconds based on everything from traffic density to typhoon warnings. Welcome to prescriptive commerce, where algorithms now make decisions logistics managers used to lose sleep over. CAPITAL ALLOCATION IN THE AGE OF SYNTHETIC CONFIDENCE CFOs, pay attention. This is not another tech pitch with fancy UX. Digital twins are the most capital-efficient diagnostic system since GAAP was invented. The ability to simulate ROI on a capital-intensive project before breaking ground isn't innovation—it's discipline. Considering a new $400M automated fulfillment center? Model its 5-year EBITDA impact across 13 demand scenarios before approving the land lease. Debating curbside expansion in tier-2 cities? Simulate customer conversion, labor capacity, weather volatility, and gas price elasticity in three markets overnight. These aren't hypotheticals—they're being executed at the operating committee level by some of the world's largest CPGs. Colgate-Palmolive is now testing product concepts on digital twins of their target consumers—accelerating innovation while compressing failure cycles to near zero. Instead of launching products and praying, they're simulating and scaling with statistical conviction. And let's be honest: A digital twin never calls in sick and never needs lunch. It's the COO you always wanted, only cheaper, faster, and infinitely more polite. With digital twins modeling replenishment across thousands of store locations in real time, inventory buffers can be trimmed, spoilage minimized, and shelf gaps preemptively resolved. This is why Walmart and Alibaba are investing heavily in dynamic twins that interface directly with planogram systems and shelf-edge sensors. Energy And Facility Efficiency Store-level twins integrated with HVAC telemetry and smart lighting systems can simulate energy usage curves based on expected footfall, weather conditions, and promotional calendars. That translates to millions in avoided cost and improved ESG scores. Disruption Readiness Want to know what happens when a port in Vietnam goes offline for two weeks? Or if a weather event shutters 150 stores? Digital twins help simulate multi-nodal disruptions across SKUs, distribution centers, suppliers, and transport lanes—turning chaos into code. In macroeconomic terms, the integration of digital twins across retailers and CPGs represents a structural increase in sectoral productivity. At scale, it reshapes cost curves and elasticity models, making it not just a technology story, but a market-wide efficiency story. THE BEHAVIORAL TWIN: PREDICTIVE COMMERCE GETS PERSONAL The most overlooked (and potentially most explosive) use of digital twins is consumer simulation. Imagine creating AI-powered avatars of your customer segments—trained on real transaction data, mobility trends, social sentiment, and even weather preferences. These behavioral twins let you simulate promotions, store layouts, ad campaigns, and even influencer partnerships—before you spend a single dollar. If it sounds like science fiction, it's not. It's already happening inside Amazon's Just Walk Out architecture, where customer paths are modeled and optimized every day. It's in Walmart's dynamic pricing engine. And it's where AI meets behavioral economics in ways that make Kahneman and Tversky nod from the great sandbox in the sky. The holy grail? Tying the behavioral twin to the operational twin, so that every forecast, layout change, or assortment update is simulated not just for cost, but for human impact. WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE C-SUITE: EMBRACE THE SYNTHETIC, MASTER THE REAL The CEOs and CFOs of tomorrow won't just read dashboards. They'll run multi-threaded scenarios across enterprise twins, co-develop strategic options with AI copilots, and use simulation-based KPIs as a second language. Your board decks? Already being generated, tested, and optimized by AI. So what should the leadership ask right now? Do we have a unified digital thread from store to shelf to consumer? Have we identified which parts of the business should be twin-enabled—and why? Are our analytics teams trained to translate simulations into strategic guidance? Do our investment decisions reflect synthetic foresight or gut instinct? Are we using this tech to augment our people, not replace them? Because, make no mistake—this isn't just digital transformation. This is cognitive augmentation of the enterprise. It's where AI, IoT, behavioral modeling, and scenario economics converge to produce better thinking, faster decisions, and more resilient companies. As one of my peers at a global asset management firm recently quipped, 'Digital twins are the first models that think like CFOs, but run like engineers.'
