Top takeaways from walking the floors (about 20K steps) at Taipei Tech Week, Computex 2026, and Nvidia GTC is that the tech industry has officially moved past the software hype cycle. We are now in the era of IRL AI. https://t.co/uZBEenngpw @computex_taipei @lexfridman @nvidia

Couldn't agree more, and his signature leather jacket just proves rock stars are in AI now.

I got to spend all day today with Jensen in Taiwan: talking with thousands of engineers and eating street food at a night market. Jensen is received as a rockstar in Taiwan, like it's Beatles in the 60's. It's mind-blowing and fun to watch. But most importantly, through all the interactions and all my conversations with him, he remained the same humble, kind, thoughtful, funny guy he always was, even as a kid who went to these same night markets many years ago.

Btw, we tried a crazy amount of different street food. It's legit some of the most delicious food I've ever had. I can't wait to share video of it, including a ton of our conversations and hangout. When I can pause for a moment from all the travel to edit the video, I'll post it.

Can't wait to continue talking to Jensen and engineers at Computex this week, and exploring more of Taiwan, and of course roaming the night markets for some more delicious street food.

Days like these, even more than usual, I feel like the luckiest kid in the world.

Love you all! ❤️

Why I Still Split My Life Between the U.S. and China
Because I’ve already seen what’s coming
Social commerce started in China in 2016. Today, it’s an $800B+ ecosystem moving toward $1.5T
The reality is simple: it’s still 4–6 years ahead of where we are in the U.S.
