Nvidia indulged all your artificial intelligence fantasies on Tuesday at what was being called the Super Bowl of AI. The chip giant’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC) was held at the SAP Center in San Jose on Tuesday, and it wasyou guessed itall about AI. Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang made several large announcements during a two-hour keynote, with plenty of meat to keep AI-hungry consumers and businesses happy. That includes partnerships with large automakers to build autonomous vehicles and even personal AI supercomputers that sit right on your desktop. Here are some of the key announcements from Huangs keynote: GM partnership: General Motors selects Nvidia to build out its self-driving vehicle fleet, incorporating the technology in manufacturing and enterprise centers, in addition to in-vehicle features. Nvidia Dynamo: Dynamo is, in essence, the operating system of an AI factory, which will help companies process information to streamline AI capabilities. DGX Spark and DGX Station: New desktop personal AI supercomputers that are powered by Nvidias Grace Blackwell platform. The DGX Spark was announced earlier this year under the name Digits and will retail for $3,000. Robotics: Huang talked at length about the coming iteration of physical AI, which includes robotics, and announced a joint project between DeepMind and Disney Research for a new robotics platform called Newton. Huang was even joined onstage by a Disney-like robot that resembled the titular character from Wall-E. Huang noted that the time has come for robots, as the world is experiencing a shortage of human workers. Were 50 million short, he said, which is what will spur the robotics revolution. With generative AI now in widespread use, and agentic AI becoming ever-more ubiquitous, its only a matter of time before robots and other types of physical AI become commonplace, too. As such, Nvidia is keen on creating the infrastructure and technology to power it all. Investors didnt seem too enthused by the keynote, however. Prior to the keynote, shares of Nvidia Corp (Nasdaq: NVDA) were trading at around $118 per share, down roughly 1.5% during intraday trading. After it concluded around 3:15 p.m. ET, shares continued to sag. The stock was down more than 3.4% as of late-afternoon trading on Tuesday.

Struggling to get enough spinach in your diet? Rather than rustling up a salad or green smoothie, one TikToker has a rather unusual hack to ensure she hits her daily greens goal. I call it dinosaur time, TikTok user @sahmthingsup said in a video posted last month, wherein she stands over the sink and stuffs handfuls of raw spinach into her mouth. @sahmthingsup Ive been going strong on dinosaur time for about a week now as a supplement to my normal lunches and I feel pretty good. So maybe try it out #greens #healthy #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #healthylifestyle #fyp #dinosaur #dinosaurtime #Fitness #fitnesstips #nutrition #nutritiontips #macros original sound – sahmthingsup While it may not be the most appetizing way to consume the leafy greens, the food “hack” has already racked up more than one million views. For added enrichment, put on a dinosaur documentary, one user commented. Another added: My life changed when I realized I could do this with any food I should be getting more of. In an interview with the New York Post, @sahmthingsup explained that she started eating raw greens as a way of managing her macronutrient-rich diet. Assembling salads every day was time-consuming; when she saw a Facebook post that suggested eating handfuls of spinach over the sink, it was a lightbulb moment. I thought it was genius, so I decided to do the same and it worked beautifully, she told the Post. Since it reminded her of a Brachiosaurus eating leaves from the tree in the film Jurassic Park, she decided to call it dinosaur time. And thus a trend was born. Packed with essential vitamins and minerals while being low in calories, spinach is a superfood when it comes to overall health. Rich in vitamin A, C, and K1, as well as iron, calcium, and folate, getting enough spinach in your diet supports immune function, bone health, and red blood cell production. While rawdogging handfuls of spinach may not be everyone’s idea of a fun snack, @sahmthingsup confessed that during dinosaur time, she channels Spike after he hatches out of his egg in the film The Land Before Time. The video somehow found its way onto the radar of Stu Krieger, writer of the 1998 film. He gave the hack his stamp of approval, commenting, This might be the best channeling of Spike Ive ever seen.

On Friday, President Donald Trump issued yet another executive order aimed at gutting our federal agencies in the name of fiscal efficiency, this time slashing much-needed funding for libraries and museums nationwide. His target is the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), a federal agency charged with distributing funds approved by Congress to support libraries, museums, and archives program-grant recipients in all 50 U.S. states and territories. The move has sparked outrage and concern from a number of groups, including the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), which has opposed the IMLS cuts. The AAM argues that the agency is already operating at a minimum level, making up only 0.0046% of the overall federal budget, to support a sector that generates more than $50 billion in economic impact. The funding cuts would effectively dismantle and eliminate the only federal agency dedicated to supporting and funding museums, which goes against public opinion: 96% of Americans support maintaining or increasing federal funding for museums, which are vital anchors of local communities, according to the AAM. If you’re one of the 96%, here are some ways you can help fight back against the funding cuts to museums and libraries. 1) Sign a petition EveryLibrary, a nonprofit group that advocates for public library funding and has fought against book bans, has also come out against the cuts, arguing that the IMLS is required by Congress’s 2018 Museum and Library Services Act to send federal funds to state libraries. (As Fast Company articles have previously noted, only Congress can abolish federal agencies, not the president.) EveryLibrary is calling on all Americans “to join us in telling Congress to hold the line with the Administration and DOGE and keep these core programs, especially the Grants to States funding, intact.” You can sign the group’s petition to stop Trump’s executive order, which at press time already has 25,580 of the 40,000 signatures it needs. 2) Visit your local library Some other ways to support your local library: Check out a book, ebook, magazine, or audiobook. Every time you use your local library, it helps demonstrate demand, and therefore makes the case for funding. Follow your local library on social media, and engage with your librarians in person. Say hello at the front desk, and ask what you can do to help. You can also attend a local town hall meeting or email your local representative to ask about how to help. 3) Join a protest Want to do more? Consider joining one of the ongoing protests taking place almost monthly across the country organized by the 50501 Movement50 protests, 50 states, 1 movementfighting to uphold the Constitution and end executive overreach and protest the antidemocratic and illegal actions of the Trump administration and its plutocratic allies.” The movement, which started on Reddit r/50501, has spread rapidly across social media since Trump took office. Information about where and when the nationwide protests and street marches are planned near your hometown can be found here upon entering your city or state. The next protest is scheduled for April 5.
