    Uhhh dude that “video game hardware” is basically fucking alien technology from the hardware itself, let alone all of firmware / software.

    Although he might’ve just been the poster boy, it is very evident that he has been great for engineering at Nvidia as a CEO, given where they were at before AI was even a thing. Without researching the fuck out of him, I frankly find it impossible to believe that he hasn’t been extremely hands on in many ways with their success, even if it’s been from a very top-down manner.

    It pains me to write all of this as someone who despises most of these tech bro CEO losers.

    Note: this isn’t the compliment it’s possibly gonna sound like: Jensen is the CEO that Musk wishes he was.

      I think the innovation was more CUDA than the hardware. AMD and Intel were never really that far behind them.

        You mean ATI before it was AMD, and Intel…well intel is still trying to find relevance. I agree with ‘dou9m.’ We shouldn’t downplay this dude’s accomplishment. Most gamers only saw their awesome grahics card as that…until crypto and now AI. I remember when RIVA 128 came out and basically mopped every other card on the market off the market? 3DFX, where are you…Matrox, where are you?

        All I’ll say is there’s a very clear reason why China is doing everything possible to try and undermine Taiwan and it does not shock me at all that they honeypotted Jensen.
