Good thing we now have the technology to spin up arbitrary numbers of additional chatbots for him to have affairs with.

Bro was really throwing his Huang around.

[–] Thor_Whale@lemmus.org 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah I'm sure he slayed a ton of women at his company. But the problem is he's a founder so if they toss him out now what? It's going to go the way of Apple. Once Jobs died Apple became a piece of shit. Oh look we have pretty color cell phones let's charge an extra $100. Is that what nvidia's going to do? Oh look we have server racks that are 13 different colors.

[–] MiguelPablo@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago

Not that I have an answer to that question, but I suppose one would have to gain a better understanding on just how important Jensen Huang was and is for NVIDIA's success in terms of the circular financing deals and pushing its products to all kinds of companies.

[–] NovaVeles@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

One could say that Job's was much more influential in terms of how Apples products were designed and marketed and that was very important in gaining public mind share. Huang seems to just be a general CEO type that is easily replaceable and is only successful due to having the best hardware for a specific job, they literally have products that sell themselves because nobody else has this technology moat.

Nvidia is a $4 trillion + business now but it is pure luck that they feel into that position. Who could have know that introducing CUDA in 2004 would lead to them being a core component in AI in almost 20 years later? Yes, they maximized this position with some very questionable business practices but it is just pure luck they got there. 5 years ago most of the general public had even heard of Nvidia and if they had many of them called it Nevada!

What I am saying is, how much of Nvidia technology success on the back on Huang and how much of it is just that he happened to be the founder of a company that was in the right place at the right time?

It is a shame, I was waiting for the AI bubble to pop/deflate and to see Huang have to get up on stage and present a GPU that is just for gaming. That would have been fun to see.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

How much of the success? Not sure. It seems like he was important to building a large GPU company, but they are where they are because they were making the best video cards when crypto and then AI took off. That doesn't feel like the same thing as really building the future, though I guess it's not nothing.

From what I've read, the issue is that precisely because he wanted to be the Jobs and the Woz of NVidia, he has a good enough technical background that he micromanages the engineering side, but also wants the place to be a reflection of him, so there's no proper succession planning, the company stays flat (60 direct reports?!) specifically so it can pivot to whatever he comes up with, and he lives in an unusually resonant echo chamber because he is the end-all be-all.

[–] NovaVeles@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah those are all very fair point. I didn't want to under play him and his role in the company but also that he is much more replaceable than Jobs was. Jenson is good at what he does but also doesn't appear to be unique other than being in the right place at the right time. He is a brilliant example of survivorship bias, Nvidia could have crumbled many times over but they just managed to hold on by pure luck.

It also cannot be understated the level of mental brain damage Job's did to every other major player in silicon valley. He was a very unique marketing guy that managed to be the CEO in a blossoming field of technology, he had taste that few others in the field had and knew how to cultivate the necessary communication skills to spread it, and every other CEO has been envious of it ever since. The closest we have had since is Elon Musk, and that is just sad.

I think that Steve Jobs is a ghost that has haunted big tech ever since his passing as the rest of the industry has been floating aimless ever since, it is probably good in a weird way that Jobs passed when he did because I don't know what he could have done much different. His legacy would have diminished with time I feel. I suspect this is why as soon as something came a long that looked novel, generative AI, that is why they all jumped on so hard and inorganically. Huang is probably the single person who are benefited the most from this personally, but it wasn't planned it was just being there is the right hardware just as it was needed.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

So, I think he may have made himself irreplaceable, at least in the short term, but I agree it’s not due to something better about him. He’s just always been there, and he’s used that time to make the place so that, in a very banal way, it simply can’t function properly without him. I just don’t know if NVidia’s organization and processes are as mature as they should be, and if they aren’t, then that’s Jensen‘s fault.

I also 100% agree that Steve Jobs poisoned the well. He was never going to be easy to emulate, nor did he present a healthy paradigm for those who’ve tried.
