Lewis argues that NVIDIA's moat is misunderstood: it is not primarily about making the best chips (competitors can eventually match hardware) but about the CUDA software ecosystem that millions of developers have built their AI infrastructure on. Switching away from NVIDIA means rewriting years of code.

Every transformative technology follows the same pattern: real innovation attracts speculative excess, which creates a bubble, which bursts, but the underlying technology continues to transform the world
Lewis draws the parallel: the internet was genuinely transformative, and the dot-com bubble was real. Both statements were true simultaneously. NVIDIA and AI may follow the same pattern -- the technology is real and the valuations may be excessive at the same time.Was this useful?
