π¨ One of the wildest things Jensen Huang said:
A 4K display contains roughly 8 million pixels
But your brain only pays attention to a small portion.
So why generate all 8 million?
Let AI predict the pixels you aren't looking at.
That's how the next leap in computing happens.
π¨ That's why so many people admire Jensen.
Not just because of what he's built, but because he seems to have stayed humble through it all.
A great reminder that success doesn't have to change who you are. An inspiration for the next generation of builders.
I got to spend all day today with Jensen in Taiwan: talking with thousands of engineers and eating street food at a night market. Jensen is received as a rockstar in Taiwan, like it's Beatles in the 60's. It's mind-blowing and fun to watch. But most importantly, through all the interactions and all my conversations with him, he remained the same humble, kind, thoughtful, funny guy he always was, even as a kid who went to these same night markets many years ago.
Btw, we tried a crazy amount of different street food. It's legit some of the most delicious food I've ever had. I can't wait to share video of it, including a ton of our conversations and hangout. When I can pause for a moment from all the travel to edit the video, I'll post it.
Can't wait to continue talking to Jensen and engineers at Computex this week, and exploring more of Taiwan, and of course roaming the night markets for some more delicious street food.
Days like these, even more than usual, I feel like the luckiest kid in the world.
Love you all! β€οΈ
@gregisenberg Feels a lot like the early mobile era.
People laughed at mobile first startups until the world went mobile-first.
Now we're watching the first signs of agent-first software.
π¨ Sam Altman just admitted something the AI industry doesn't like talking about...
the problem isn't convincing people that AI is useful
everyone can already see that
the problem is explaining what happens when AI can do more and more of the things humans used to do
people aren't scared because AI can write code
they're scared because they don't know if they'll still have leverage, purpose, or control in a world where AI can do the work
that's what Sam means by "agency"
he's basically saying the industry has spent years talking about what AI can do
but not enough time talking about what humans will do
and his warning is that AI shouldn't be built around goals that ignore human interests
society needs to understand what's happening
and push back when necessary
because once a technology becomes powerful enough to reshape civilization
the question is no longer "can we build it?"
it's "who does it serve?"
Sam Altman says the industry has not failed to explain the benefits of AI
But it has failed to explain how people can keep agency, stay in control, and still have a meaningful role in the future
"AI should not be built around non-human goals"
Society needs to understand what is happening and push back where needed

π¨ This is great for productivity.
It's also a reminder that developers are being pushed higher up the value chain.
Knowing how to code won't be enough.
Knowing what to build, why to build it, and how to scale it will matter more.
π¨ Not sure this is entirely a good thing.
A model that learns from experience without careful weight updates could also learn bad habits, incorrect assumptions, and user biases at scale.
DeepMind Oriol Vinyals says one important next step is for models to improve through experience without needing weight updates
The capability exists in early form, but hasn't hit the kind of steep curve where it becomes an obvious, universal feature
"one year seems possible"
π¨ When companies invest tens of billions in compute, they're telling you something about the future.
The question is whether they're right.
Because nobody spends $87 billion preparing for a future they don't believe is coming.
SoftBank has announced plans to invest up to β¬75 billion (around $87 billion) in AI data centers across France, making it the largest AI infrastructure investment ever announced in Europe.
The project will create up to 5 gigawatts of AI computing capacity, with the first phase involving a β¬45 billion investment and several major data center sites in northern France.
If completed as planned, it will be one of the largest AI data center developments in the world
Stories like this are why I don't think AI will completely replace employees.
The goal isn't to fire everyone and let AI run the company.
The goal is to give employees AI tools so they can do more, move faster, and make better decisions.
The companies that get this right will have humans and AI working together, not competing against each other.
