Nvidia’s AI Shopping Spree: Buying the Future One Startup at a Time

In a move that shocked absolutely no one, Nvidia has been on a startup shopping spree, throwing around its AI-fueled cash like a tech billionaire at a Silicon Valley garage sale. Over the last two years, the semiconductor behemoth has invested in over 80 AI startups, because why not? When you’re sitting on a pile of money that would make Scrooge McDuck jealous, you might as well buy the future.

Here’s a look at Nvidia’s most ‘interesting’ investments:

• The Sentient Toaster Company: Because who doesn’t want their breakfast prepared by a machine that’s smarter than they are?
• AI-Powered Pet Rocks 2.0: Finally, a pet that won’t judge you for binge-watching Netflix all weekend.
• Self-Driving Scooters: For those who thought regular scooters were just too easy to operate.

But it’s not all fun and games. Nvidia’s investments also include some serious players in the AI space, like companies working on climate change and healthcare. Because even in a satirical universe, we have to acknowledge that some things are actually important.

So, what’s next for Nvidia? Rumor has it they’re considering an investment in a startup that uses AI to predict the outcome of their other AI investments. Because if you’re going to bet on the future, you might as well double down.
