Can Nvidia's Dominance Survive the Sea Change Under Way in AI Computing?

Nvidia's 73% GPU margins are structurally incompatible with an efficiency-first inference economy, but the displacement story isn't "Cerebras replaces Nvidia." Inference is heterogeneous, and Nvidia is racing to sell all three form factors: GPU for training, CPU for orchestration, LPU for inference throughput. The transition from monopolist-margin chipmaker to platform-margin integrator is the real architectural bet at GTC this year.

The AI pension advisers are already here

50%+ of UK adults already use AI for financial guidance, yet the article buries the structural story: the marginal cost of personalized financial advice is collapsing to zero. JPMorgan's Bilton warns "always use a human adviser" — from a firm that killed Nutmeg and has $3T+ AUM to protect. The real question isn't whether AI gives wrong pension advice; it's whether a £15K/year advisory fee can survive a free alternative that improves with every interaction.
