Nvidia is not a bellwether of AI. They actually produce something: chips for AI, graphics processors, etc. If their stocks were hit it would be seen in the users of their chips first.

I cannot imagine what a rabble would look like to Littleproud.
"Mr Littleproud – who said the six-month squabble to get to Sunday’s announcement was a “calm, considered process” – also said the Nationals Party “believes in reducing emissions” as a “core principle”."
