If America tears down Jensen Huang, it isn't taking down just another billionaire. It is taking a sledgehammer to its own future.

Look at who you are actually targeting: a kid who came to the US at age 9, scrubbed dishes at Denny’s at 15, co-founded Nvidia in a San Jose booth in 1993, and spent 33 straight years surviving near-bankruptcy to build the backbone of modern computing.

In 2006, when Wall Street punished Nvidia’s stock for burning cash on CUDA, Jensen held the line. In 2016, he personally hand-delivered the world's first DGX supercomputer to a tiny nonprofit called OpenAI. Today, Nvidia props up the S&P 500, secures the 401(k) retirement accounts of tens of millions of ordinary Americans, funds hundreds of millions in US university labs, and powers hundreds of thousands of jobs from data center electricians to chip architects.

Take him down, and three things break immediately:

The American Dream dies in broad daylight.Immigrants founded over 55% of America’s billion-dollar startups. From Elon Musk to Jensen Huang, America’s ultimate superpower has always been a simple deal: come here, work harder than anyone alive, and you can build generational wealth for this country. Attacking builders once they reach the summit sends a chilling message to the next generation of founders—don't bother building it here.

You break the hearts of the exact people keeping US tech ahead.Walk into any frontier AI lab in Silicon Valley today. Look at the names on the research papers and the faces writing the kernels and designing the silicon. Asian Americans are pouring 80-hour weeks into making sure the United States wins the AI race. They love this country. When they watch someone like Jensen—after 33 years of spotless execution and loyalty—get treated like an outsider or a suspect, every single one of them feels it. Call it what it is.

America hands away its AI lead overnight.Nobody on Earth can replace 33 years of founder scar tissue. The US AI boom runs through Taiwan’s supply chain—TSMC wafers, CoWoS packaging, server racks—and that entire pipeline moves at warp speed because of decades of personal trust Jensen built from Morris Chang down to the factory floor. No MBA CEO and no committee in Washington can replicate that network.
Great powers don't lose technological dominance to foreign rivals first. They lose it the moment they start eating their own builders.

@DaChi78414 @Kalshi 这是中美竞争的必然结果，中美两方都有很多公司不让对方的投资人参加。

Age 9: Arrives in America as an immigrant kid.
Age 15: Washing dishes at Denny's.
Age 30: Starts Nvidia in a Denny's booth.
Age 63: 33 years as CEO. Bets the company on CUDA when Wall Street laughed. Delivers the first AI supercomputer to OpenAI. Builds a multi-trillion-dollar engine carrying America's 401(k)s, jobs, and global AI lead.

Going after Jensen Huang isn't "holding Big Tech accountable." It's national self-sabotage:

1. It tells immigrant founders like Elon and Jensen that the American Dream comes with a trapdoor at the top.

2. It tells every Asian American engineer grinding 80-hour weeks inside US AI labs that no matter how much value you build for America, you'll still be treated like an outsider.

3. It severs 33 years of irreplaceable personal trust across Taiwan's chip supply chain that keeps the US ahead in AI.

There is no backup Jensen Huang. Break your best builders, and don't act surprised when America stops winning.

If you are a NVIDIA Employee

That's the one opportunity to defend what you believed.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

NVIDIA employees: go on strike. Now.

Not for a raise. Not for more PTO. For your founder.

Jensen Huang was just pushed out in four days, after thirty-three years building the company. The GPU, CUDA, the entire infrastructure the world's AI runs on today. And it ends with a three-line press release on a Thursday morning.

Here are the facts. Sunday, Huang admits to an affair and apologizes to his teams. The board launches an independent investigation, led by Wachtell Lipton and a former federal prosecutor. Thursday, he resigns under pressure. The investigation hasn't reached any conclusion. No technology leak has been established. No misconduct has been announced.

The sentence came before the verdict.

Let me be clear: if the investigation shows that NVIDIA secrets ended up in Beijing, he has to go, and nobody will defend him. But you don't unplug the most important builder of the decade over press reports and a market panic. It's called the presumption of innocence. It applies to founders too.

And it has worked before.

November 2023. OpenAI's board fires Sam Altman on a Friday night. Within days, more than 700 of roughly 770 employees sign a letter: bring Altman back, or we all walk. Five days later, Altman is back, and most of the board that fired him is gone.

Call it the Altman precedent: in a company built on talent, real power doesn't sit with the board. It sits with the people who build.

NVIDIA's engineers hold that power today. They're the ones running the machine. Without them, there is no next generation of chips.

So put down your tools. All of you. And tell the board: no successor until the investigation is done. Facts first, sentence second.

A founder isn't an executive you swap out. A founder is the soul of the company. Apple learned that when it pushed out Steve Jobs in 1985. It took twelve years and a near-bankruptcy to bring him back.

NVIDIA doesn't have twelve years. The AI race won't wait for anyone.

A company's soul isn't something you vote on in a boardroom. It's something you fight for.

@Alpha_Cat @semivision_tw 台湾现任政府和美国民主党走得近，媒体也是美国民主党的打手。 只能说deepstate确实存在，且deepstate的势力基本遍布全球

鉴于现在有很多新的小伙伴开始用 claude code

建议你设置 auto-compact 400k

你的 token 用量会减少，效率会提升

@yihao_wyh 那五年你在做什么？

多带孩子出去玩一玩 就亲切了

@BlakeYueng 哥们你的 AI 出卖了你，你应该是搞本地 AI 和部署的吧

[Cal Li @calliwinwin]

现在在内存和算力在价格高涨的情况下，
不需要花很多钱买装备去追求本地模型。

不管是 mac studio 还是 DGX Spark
我认为只有做视频换脸无审查作用比较大

你现在花着高溢价买的算力。实际的价格是要远多于前沿模型的订阅价格的。

再加上开源模型和前沿模型的差距还是不小，你会浪费很多的精力和机会成本。

我自己一台 24G 内存 macmini ， 一台 mac 完全满足工作需求
