The corps aren't coming. They're already in the walls. World events decoded through Night City Lore. The lore called everything. I'm just keeping score.

$NVDA JUST BOUGHT THE COMMONS. ~$13B for @huggingface - 3 Million AI models, 500K datasets, 18 Million developers, 200K companies. The open source AI marketplace. The shared infrastructure everyone agreed was too important to be owned. Now it's owned!
Here's the move chooms. Nvidia makes the chips that run every model on Hugging Face. Nvidia finances the data centers those models live in. Nvidia now owns the platform where those models are found and deployed. From silicon to commons - vertical integration complete. Jensen said: "Nvidia compute will not be required." That's what #Arasaka said about its logistics network. For a while, it was even technically true.
Arasaka didn't control the Net by owning every node. It controlled the Net by owning the standards layer - the shared infrastructure every other entity needed to interoperate. Hugging Face was the standards layer of open-source AI. Was.
