He definitely sounds more pragmatic than before, which is, in a sense, more positive.

> This is actually one of the benefits brought by AI; it has made Nvidia a good participant in the Linux kernel space. [...] Now, when Linux is so important for AI clouds, Nvidia suddenly cares very much about Linux.

He has been positive about corporations and mainstream propaganda since his CoC "retreat". He is no rebel anymore.

Now Nvidia is also premium sponsor of the Linux Foundation.
