Good morning. I asked ChatGPT for a workout plan and it said, “Run from your problems.”

Fair suggestion… lol

Let’s dig in.

🍭 What’s Cookin’:

  • China boxes out Nvidia

  • Ship faster ads with AI

  • How To Turn Prompts into Apps

  • And Everything Else

China <> Nvidia
🎙️ China’s ‘No, No, No’ To Nvidia Could Rattle The GPU Race

The Bite: China’s internet regulator reportedly told businesses in China to stop buying Nvidia’s AI chips and cancel existing orders.

Jensen’s response from London: “disappointed,” with a side of geopolitics-is-bigger-than-us.

If you build outside China, the move won’t break your training run tomorrow but it adds mud to an already muddy supply chain and cloud roadmap.

Snacks:

  • What: China tells firms to stop buying Nvidia AI chips.

  • Who: Companies like Alibaba, ByteDance, others; cancel existing orders.

  • Scope: Reports spotlight RTX Pro 6000D; details still moving.

  • Why: Pivot to domestic silicon; regulatory squeeze.

  • Impact: Supply jitters; geopolitics in your toolchain.

Why it Bites: Geopolitics is now product-ops.

Even if you never ship to China, this kind of policy snap can reshuffle who gets what GPUs and when, and it signals a faster pivot to in-region hardware stacks.

Kind of reminds me of the narrative of a future “compute scarcity”

AI Ad Creative
👨‍🎨 Amazon’s AI Creative Partner

The Bite: Amazon just dropped a chatty “creative partner” inside Creative Studio.

It’s supposed to help you go from
product page → audience research → storyboard → finished video/display assets all in one flow.

It’s in beta and doesn’t cost extra, which is exactly our love language.

Snacks:

  • Chatbot-style “creative partner” in Creative Studio (beta, free).

  • Turns PDP + guardrails into video/display ads.

  • Built on Amazon retail insights + Bedrock models (Nova + Claude).

  • AI-made ads are watermarked + moderated for safety.

  • Cost: $0 add-on. Go ship.

Why it bites: This collapses the “I can’t afford creative” excuse.

One agent, one tab, and you’re testing messages by dinner perfect for validating an idea or getting those first 1,000 users.

And yeah, everyone’s racing here;
Meta wants fully automated ad creation next year.

But Amazon’s shopper data + shoppable surfaces = shorter distance from creative to conversion.
