Educational, News, Talk Show, 11-Nov-2026
Is the AI bubble about to pop because the man in the famous leather jacket couldn't keep a secret?
This week on the Tech Field Day Rundown, Tom Hollingsworth and Jonathan Davis dive into the massive espionage scandal rocking NVIDIA's leadership and erasing hundreds of billions in market cap overnight.
Beyond the boardroom drama, they break down a nasty new OpenSSH vulnerability targeting IoT devices, Microsoft's decision to pull its AI workloads from Oracle's aging GPU cloud, and Anthropic's multi-billion dollar pivot into natural gas power generation.
Plus, hear their takes on IBM’s latest quantum scaling milestone, Red Hat’s AI-managed OS future, and whether Broadcom’s new VMware vSphere Express is a genuine olive branch or a short-term trap for mid-market IT.
This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Tom Hollingsworth and Jonathan Davis.
