I was skeptical, but now I’m completely convinced. Fencing will become super popular due to this one very particular improvement to the sport.
“Sword tip visualization” It’s going to debut at the summer olympics.
Every single duel will look like a bloody lightsaber fight
Jensen Huang just gutted the AI job panic with one profession.
Radiology.
The field AI was supposed to kill first.
Jensen Huang: “Computer vision was superhuman in 2019. And yet, the number of radiologists grew.”
Not competitive. Not close. Superhuman.
Every forecast said radiologists were finished.
Every forecast was wrong.
Not slightly wrong. Directionally wrong.
There are now fewer radiologists than the world needs. A global shortage. In the exact specialty AI was supposed to erase.
Why?
Because the task was never the job.
Huang: “The purpose of your job and the tasks and the tools that you use to do your job are related. Not the same.”
Reading a scan is a task.
Diagnosing disease is a purpose.
AI handled the task. The purpose didn’t shrink. It compounded.
Faster reads meant more patients seen. More patients seen meant more disease caught. More disease caught meant more demand for the people who decide what to do about it.
The tool did not kill the job. It fed it.
Then the fear did what the technology never could.
Huang: “The alarmist warning went too far and it scared people from doing this profession that is so important to society. It did harm.”
People heard radiologists were finished and walked away from the field.
Medicine bled talent it could not afford to lose.
Not because the work vanished. Because the panic said it would.
The prediction was wrong. The damage was real.
Huang: “The number of software engineers at Nvidia is going to grow, not decline.”
Not hold steady. Grow.
The company building the infrastructure that automates code is hiring more of the people who write it.
Huang: “I wanted my software engineers to solve problems. I didn’t care how many lines of code they wrote.”
Nobody ever hired an engineer to type. They hired them to think.
When the machine handles syntax, the engineer does not become obsolete. The bottleneck just moves upstream. To architecture. To edge cases. To the kind of reasoning no model handles alone.
The world was never short on unsolved problems.
It was short on people free to chase them.
That is the part the fear narrative misses every single time.
340,000 women once worked as telephone switchboard operators.
That job is gone. Nobody mourns it.
What replaced it created millions of roles that nobody in 1920 had the vocabulary to describe.
The losses are always visible. The gains are always invisible until they arrive.
That pattern has survived every technological shift in history.
It is surviving this one.
The people forecasting mass displacement are making the same mistake as the people who forecasted the end of radiology.
They can see the task being automated.
They cannot see the purpose expanding underneath it.
That blindness is not just wrong.
It is expensive.
Every person scared out of a career that AI will actually make more valuable is a cost the economy absorbs for nothing.
Not because of the technology.
Because of the story told about it.
That awkward moment... we've all been there. Now you can face it with a smile.
Our Vintage "Stink" Lisa Poster is the ultimate icebreaker. This clever take on Da Vinci's classic is the funniest thing you'll ever hang in your home.
slowly but surely, this is going to be the experience and expressed sentiment of virtually every human being with a shred of ambition.
and they’ll all start waking up and we’re all going to be watching with popcorn.

🇫🇷🗣️ Patrick Vieira on Arsenal: "It's not just that they lost the game, it's the way they lost the game. Saka and Trossard didn't produce enough to worry United."
"They need a leader to lift the spirit of the team. They need to understand when they are on the pitch they have to play with more energy and more risks. They have the quality. They didn't play with the freedom to express themselves." (@SkySportsPL)
PAULINHO: “Messi walked up to me. We were playing a friendly against Argentina in Australia. The ref had just called a foul for us, and I was standing next to the ball with Willian."
"Suddenly, Leo comes over, looks me straight in the eyes, and says: ‘So… are we going to Barcelona or not?’ Just like that. No explanation, nothing. He turned around and walked away. I didn’t even have time to think. I just said, ‘If you want to take me, I’m going!’"
"At the time, I was playing in the Chinese Super League for Guangzhou Evergrande, and nobody would believe Barcelona was interested in me. I thought Messi was joking, like he was trying to mess with my head to throw me off during the match. But it was just a friendly, so I started to doubt it."
"After the game I called my agent and said, ‘Boss, for the love of God, I’m going crazy! Tell me if this is real or not!’ I was so desperate I even thought about texting Neymar to see if he knew anything. A month later, my agent called and said, ‘The deal is done. You have to come to Barcelona to sign the papers.’”
