The phone destroyed the encryption key. Craig explains the layer most people miss: every individual file has its own key, so deleting one file destroys that file's key and the contents can never be recovered \u2014 unlike Windows, where a deleted file usually sits there waiting for recovery software. Which raises the obvious question about a phone with very few contacts left on it. The answer is mobile device management, the same category of software Craig runs for his clients. MDM lets a central authority control which apps are allowed, wipe a lost device remotely \u2014 and take continuous rolling backups. Not the occasional iCloud sync, but every text and email backed up the moment it's sent or received. When a federal employee leaves, a forensic copy of the phone gets made. Deleted files are genuinely gone from that copy; the rolling backups are how the Senate got the messages anyway. Then Nvidia's search for $500 billion. Craig lays out the strategy: purpose-built AI chips rather than repurposed gaming GPUs, and now building their own data centers using their own chips at an internal discount \u2014 which means competing directly against Oracle, Microsoft and every other customer. That pushes those companies to accelerate their own chip programs, which eventually brings prices down. A signal already visible: Anthropic just gave pro subscribers 50% more tokens. Also in this segment: Anthropic's pledge to watermark AI-written text to satisfy European regulation. Matt has read the confusion on social media and Craig sorts it out \u2014 watermarking video, images and audio is easy and undetectable; text is much harder. And since rewriting the output likely strips it, Craig's forecast is that someone ships watermark-removal software within a week. He still thinks it's worth doing, with 60-70% of everything online now machine-generated.
