A "bombshell" just dropped as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, backed by leaders like Sam Altman and Elon Musk, called for the deliberate slowdown ("pacing" but not halting) in launching next-generation frontier AI models. This is supposed to give safety testing, evaluation frameworks, and alignment research enough time to keep pace as AI systems move toward autonomous capability thresholds.

As chipmakers serve as the primary proxy bet on AI expansion, the call to "pump the brakes" created an immediate sentiment and valuation shock:

* Sell-Off & Support Levels: $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) shares experienced an immediate pullback of ~3.5% to 8%, testing near-term support levels around $210–$212.

* Capex Growth Expectations: Nvidia’s valuation relies heavily on cloud hyperscalers (Microsoft, Meta, Google, Amazon) making continuous multi-billion-dollar investments in GPU clusters. "Pacing" means slower model iterations, signalling potential delays or moderation in near-term hardware orders.

But I think this is an expectations recalibration rather than a fundamental demand collapse, since enterprise inference workloads and current model deployments should still remain active.

As such, I'm holding on to my $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)shares and will add when it hits by accumulation level.
