Hello and very warm welcome everyone to this Intelligence Squared podcast with me, Carl Miller.
I am delighted to welcome today our guest, Stephen Witt. So Stephen is an author and a journalist. He wrote How Music Got Free, which was a book that became a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize, amongst many other accolades, actually, and he's also the author of a new book, The Thinking Machine, Jensen Huang, Nvidia and the world's most coveted microchip. Stephen, very welcome to you. Thanks so much for joining us today.
Yeah, thank you so much for having me. So an easy question to begin. Why this book and why now? Yeah. Uh well, I was using Chat GPT in 2022.
