The CEO is very hands-on.

Speed of light

they flirt with chinese models not just american ones

Everyone dates the CEO.

Nobody knows where it's appropriate to put their chip in.

Rare was a legendary game publisher in the UK owned at the time by the Stamper brothers (some of the richest people in the UK). They developed a culture of people working horrendous hours under immense pressure and entire teams quitting after a game release. However despite that they would release game after game that would become cult classic and historic. Furthermore the teams that would quit would often have the skills to develop excellent game studios on their own. Microsoft buys them in 2002, institutes "work life balance" and the historic magic that they were known for completely vanishes to the point where even Microsoft having dumped endless amounts of money loses hope. I don't think they have released a single historic title on Microsoft platforms since they were acquired 24 years ago.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in life. If you want to be top 1% you have to make sacrifices. While I feel for the devs as I am one as well, I must also feel bad for the current people to be in a position where fans once clamored for every new title transitioning to the public accepting the greatness is gone.

If you read into NVIDIA's history you'll know how much Jensen set the culture and enforced it.

Because they replace the CEO? That seems like a bit of an overreaction...

guys in jensen's position tend to live for the work and don't know what to do without it

Most probably, he'd start his own company. We all know he doesn't need a job.

not so sure about the marriage part...

Sounds like a perfect match for SpaceX.

Boeing might take him ...

The idea that everyone having their own personal at-home GPU (which will sit idle 99% of the time) is more efficient than everyone sharing a pool of GPUs in a data center baffles me.

This is…. Massively underselling the actual demand for these GPUs. Even if you only include OpenAI and Anthropic, they would probably buy every single GPU, TPU, and XPU that TSMC, Samsung, and Intel could produce if they had sufficient money, land, and power. They’re all completely convinced by scaling and recursive self improvement (and they seem to be right)

Also, the demands of HPC computing requires these to be collocated and on a high bandwidth low latency network, so saying these DCs are equivalent to sticking a GPU in each house is simply wrong.

I can't believe I am reading this on HN. How about companies are chasing Nvidia for all the GPU they could get?

>There never was any demand for large data centers and they

You are making things up as if Datacenter is only about GPUs. Go and ask Intel and AMD on how they are coping with demands.

You've got it backwards.

NVidia was selling its GPUs at a price well below what the market would bear so that they could pick and choose customers and make demands of them, like insisting that OpenAI not oppose their plans to sell to China.

So I expect that if they get a CEO who is more conventional and stays out of politics prices are going to go up.

those are some wild accusations to throw around without proof

> There never was any demand for large data centers

OK, let's stick to the subject and not engage in absolute delusion.

It worked well for Intel after BK. Strangely, the official reason for him being let go was the same thing.
