Save Jensen.
It would be a terrible mistake to crucify the man who single-handedly made the AI revolution possible thanks to his incredible foresight with GPGPU & CUDA…
I wish everybody would calm down, wait for further investigation, and separate private damage (his romantic life is none of our business) vs public damage if indeed there were indirect sales to China.
In any case, it has to be salvageable. Even if allegations are proven, it seems like such a minor issue compared to his incredible gift to humanity, to Taiwan & to the West, and in my view he's the most important American asset with Elon.

Ominous. Something about the way this whole decable unfolds doesn't smell accidental.

Preposterous to reduce entrepreneurship to specialization. So many legendary founders entertain passions, and usually turn them into competitive advantage. Their unusual interests are often the very source of their originality.
Steve Jobs called this connecting the dots! His love for arts & calligraphy led to Macintosh's revolutionary typography, and later to help build Pixar.
Wozniak @stevewoz created the Apple I for himself, tinkering with electronics purely out of personal passion.
Luckey @PalmerLuckey collected old VR headsets & tinkered with homemade prototypes in his trailer too before founding Oculus.
Woodman invented the GoPro because he loved surfing & wanted to capture his adventures.
Systrom was obsessed about vintage photography while in Florence, and his Holga camera, with the square format, imperfection & vintage colors became inspiration for Instagram aesthetics at launch.
Walt Disney was passionate about miniature trains, which inspired Disneyland.
Ed Catmull @edcatmull dreamed of becoming an animator, thought he wasn't good enough at drawing to join Disney, so he studied physics, discovered computer graphics, pioneered computer animation and co-founded Pixar.
Miyamoto loved hiking & exploring caves in the Japanese countryside, and that inspired The Legend of Zelda.
Will Wright was fascinated by archiecture, urban planning, cellular automata & system theory. He turned those into the SimCity, The Sims, and Spore.
James Cameron @JimCameron is passionate about deep sea exporation, and personally explored the Titanic. His obsession permeates his work in The Abyss, Titanic & Avatar, creating 3 of the 5 top-grossing movies ever.
Miyazaki is obsessed about aviation, and it's everywhere in his work, from Nausicaa to Porco Rosso to The Wind Rises. Even the "Ghibli" name comes from the an italian reconnaissance aircraft!
Edwin Land was fascinated by optics, kaleidoscopes & the physics of light since childhood. His experiments led to polarizing filters & the founding of Polaroid.
George Eastman was an amateur frustrated by its cumbersome photography equipment, so he began experimenting with photographic chemistry & eventually founded Kodak.
Ray Dolby loved music, played instruments & studied the science of sound. This led to Dolby Laboratories, revolutionizing recorded music and cinema.
And this goes far beyond creative industries.
Soichiro Honda was passionate about mechanical tinkering & motor racing. He raced cars himself, built engines and eventually founded Honda, making motorsport central to its engineering culture.
Boyan Slat @BoyanSlat loved scuba diving, saw plastic pollution in Greece at 16, and became obsessed with solving the problem, founded The Ocean Cleanup.
Knight was a competitive runner, Bowerman his track coach, and their frustration with existing shoes gave birth to Nike.
Tobi Lütke @tobi loved snowboarding and wanted to sell snowboards online. Frustrated by existing e-commerce software, he built his own. That project became Shopify.
Demis Hassabis @demishassabis was a young chess prodigy & video game enjoyer fascinated by how intelligence works, this led to Deepmind (and why deepmind developed AlphaGo and AlphaStar, crucial steps in the history of AI).
Many of the best founders today played Starcraft and other legendary games in their formative years, Elon still play games regularly.
Specialized AIs aren’t the future. Somehow LLMs are taking over specialized models.
Turns out that not knowing Beethoven doesn’t make AI a better mathematician, and not knowing Shakespeare doesn’t make AI better at robotics either.
Generalization wins.
Clearest sign of AGI.
Laziness is good & natural. Every form of life aims to minimize effort & maximize reward.
We're so lazy that we prefer to commit unfathomable cognitive effort inventing contraptions (fun) to save us from another day of repetitive work (boring).
“AI is for lazy people.”
Yes. Exactly.
Lazy people invented almost everything worth having.
Someone was too lazy to carry things, so we got the wheel. Too lazy to wash clothes by hand, so we got the washing machine. Too lazy to do math on paper, so we got the calculator. Too lazy to walk, so we got the car.
Every great invention in history started with someone saying “I really don’t want to do this anymore.”
Hard work was never the goal.
It was the price we paid because we didn’t have anything better.
Now we do.
Call me lazy all you want.
I’m in very good company.
Wonderful.
Built a physical simulation of a record player with WebGL2 and Web Audio. It's *shockingly* accurate: vinyl-gl.vercel.app.
Instead of playing a song, it works by converting it into the physical shape of a groove. Then a simulated stylus rides those walls 384,000 times a second, and you hear the voltage that motion would induce in a cartridge.
So the crackle, the pops, the wow/flutter, the dull inner grooves are natural byproducts of the simulation. You can also "DJ" the record.
(The converted songs are in the public domain or CC-licensed. Code is linked for you to remix and re-deploy.)
Jensen...
You were not supposed to succumb to the honeypot!
Breaking News: Nvidia opened an investigation into Jensen Huang, its CEO, after he acknowledged to the company’s board that he had been intimate with a business executive who U.S. intelligence determined to be a Chinese spy. nyti.ms/3ViPMAt
I also don't think personal mistakes should change anything about his leadership position. Jensen is obviously one of the greatest & smartest entrepreneurs ever, an incredible asset for America.

So I finally see this scene, and yes as I expected, everything about it is terrible.
Lack of tension, composition, lighting, set design, costumes, editing, it’s completely bland & overrated.
Too many are easily impressionable by anything on the big screen due to sound & scale.
I find myself going back to the past, both in games & movies, when directors knew how to summon in you any emotion on cue like a puppeteer, just with masterful visual storytelling.
Inspiration for my volumetric lighting.
"Kagemusha", by Akira Kurosawa, 1980.
One of the most beautiful shots ever filmed.

Since the Wii, many Nintendo fans declared graphics don’t really matter, or that it wouldn’t work with stylized art direction.
Yet now we finally have a Nintendo first party game with full physically based rendering, lighting, and nice volumetrics, it works & it’s gorgeous.
948 vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel fixed for $1 million. Human code is full of holes.
Our security researchers built an autonomous cyber vulnerability discovery, exploitation, and patching pipeline.
In a single run with an upcoming cyber model, it validated and generated patches for 948 local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel at a total API cost of $1.2 million.
I concur.
We will all be learning in coming weeks & months, that most human-made software:
▫️ Was really slow
▫️ Had many security vulnerabilities
▫️ Was under-specified and incorrect
AI will rewrite it all. Many times. It will make it fast, cost-efficient, and secure. It will think about failure modes we couldn't wrap our heads around.
It will prove, formally verify, load test, harden. It will turn memory-unsafe foundations into robust, optimized ones. If you ask, it'll thoroughly document it, teach you about it, make diagrams, animations, and slide decks.
In many ways, we are witnessing the true birth of software engineering.

People don’t have the correct orders of magnitude in mind. We need to create strong shareable visuals to help everyone understand that value creation is the only way out of struggle.
The average human of 2126 will enjoy unfathomably advanced healthcare compared to today, and that’s not thanks to deterrence, taxation, collectivism & redistribution, but thanks to technological progress.
For this to happen, we need incentives, risk taking, investment, entrepreneurship, research, energy, compute, AI.
In the risk assessment, it’s crucial to take into account the hundreds of millions of preventable deaths that will occur if technological progress is delayed. Unaccounted victims that are never weighted in their moral balance.
Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.
