This is exactly why aristocrats opposed marrying lower-class women. Imagine gaining access to the upper echelons of society by doing nothing, able to promote and sell billion-dollar businesses, yet only making headlines for your tits and ass. SMH.
Dear young and budding founders, to avoid Jensen's fate, own the IP of your start-up (key patents) as an individual, which you license back to your company.
Imagine if Jensen was the patent holder of, say, the unified shader; and he told the NVIDIA board: "you kick me out, no more CUDA cores on NVIDIA chips."
Some predictions:
- Expect more "lab leaks" in the near term future engineered by cybersecurity firms
- The EA / safetyist crowd will amplify this to the moon along with the entire Democratic Left
- "Be afraid citizen! Only the government can protect you!" -> Massive crack down on open source models, regulated compute. SB 1047 will look like a hall pass by comparison
Publicly traded AI cos will not have the freedom of movement to withstand public pressure and fear mongering. Govt regulations will shut out any non-compliant actors from the market. Governance boards will instantly cave. Remaining major players are already in consensus.
AI is too powerful for citizens so only those already in power should have access to it. The government and state agencies will have frontier models. You will have whatever they think you can be trusted with.
This is the most powerful technology in history.
Nothing is too much to justify seizing complete control, and people will do so thinking they are being altruistic. The ends justify the means.
I would not be surprised if there are engineered AI false flag attacks on domestic soil blamed on "rogue actors" using "unlicensed open models"
Public will be unanimous. Everyone is getting hacked or knows someone who was hacked.
Digital agent provocateurs.
Hate to say it but this is the world we live in.
We invade countries on false pretenses, "suicide" Boeing whistleblowers, disappear trillions in unaccountable expenses.
All the crimes of western governments against their own citizens will absolutely pale in comparison to what will feel "justified" to control Superintelligence.
Heard from many of my friends many seniors who are post economical are gonna go where Jensen will go next. And many more mid levels will leave after their shares vest.
The New York Times claimed Alice Huang had been recruited by China's Ministry of State Security as a “spy” based off a single little drafted memo from Marco Rubio
then they were also the first to report on the second affair after another "leak" when it seemed like the first one might not be enough to remove Jensen as CEO
Yeah, it was a hit job.
"Jensen as CEO is a risk to US AI Dominance"
How about a completely neutered NVIDIA?how does that sound? How about NVIDIA as run by IBM style bureaucrats?
Meanwhile how many Chinese suppliers are there into the US Defense industry?
Hundreds. Thousands.
Goodbye last leverage
>Jensen Huang gets ousted from Nvidia literally 12 hours ago
>OpenAI and Anthropic immediately form an alliance to back congress to ban AI chip exports to china
This was a targeted takedown.
On rigole de Jensen mais on est morts les gamers.
La seule raison pour laquelle Nvidia continuait à produire des RTX pour les particuliers, c’était grâce à lui qui voulait permettre à tout le monde d’en avoir.
Depuis que l’IA représente quasiment tout son chiffre d’affaires, Nvidia n’a plus de raison d’en produire pour nous et gagnerai bien plus à focus uniquement les pro.
Maintenant qu’il n’est plus là, considérez votre RTX comme de l'or.
The tech elite have devolved into a Game of Thrones-style war for control over a zero-margin, negative-free-cash-flow commodity, where one faction ousts the hardware king, burns the historical archives to protect their IP moat,
so:
- no succession plan.
- 60 reports which means no obvious person with complete understanding of the co operates. or at least it’ll be insanely messy. potential for a lot of infighting.
- a weak board suddenly tasked to manage a crazy crises w/ arguably the most important co of this era.
- possible talent exodus since founder is leaving.
- a ceo search that could take a while with no obvious outsider candidate at the top.
- potentially more revelations.
- jensen will have zero involvement going forward. no chairman role.
- downstream impact on ai ecosystem from funding, support etc.
this is not good. what am i missing?
