-AI boomHow Nvidia became dominant on the training side
-How inference is becoming the true infrastructure bottleneck
-Why ChatGPT was a consumer inflection point
-How the AI ecosystem is stratifying between foundation-model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google) and an emerging wave of vertical and agentic applications built on top 
-Derrick's belief that infrastructure players will sell “picks and shovels” while domain experts own the higher-order use cases.

We'll have a part 2 with another AI expert in just a couple of weeks.
