as i think about all that has happened in the last few days i can’t help but reflect on my early experiences with nvidia.
my story starts with gaming: my first gpu was a 7600GT which didnt even support cuda but ran crysis (barely). when the troubled fermi generation launched a couple years later i was too young to appreciate what a difficult financial situation the company was at the time—it would have made sense to every financial analyst in the world to drop cuda to focus solely on graphics. in those days, cuda wasn’t even a blip on earnings reports yet jensen never relented and sent gpus to any grad student willing to put one through its paces. and deep learning wasn’t an overnight success. years after alexnet when i was in university we were still jamming geforce cards into workstations. datacenter revenue didn’t eclipse graphics until years later.
when i reflect on jensen’s legacy and that of the company, it’s not just the shrewd businessman that the world has come to know in the last few years but the wonder, intellectual curiosity, and resilience of the path taken. i hope he can return to the industry somehow and someday, as i don’t don’t think he or the world is ready for him to be done just yet.
NVIDIA letting Jensen go is a huge mistake, for America and for humanity. It's Apple firing Steve Jobs all over again, but much bigger, given the role of AI in defining the future of our world.
I've been keeping quiet on this out of respect for Jensen's family and team, who I've met and who are amazing humans, and because I personally hate infidelity. So my heart goes out to them in this difficult personal family moment.
But I can also say that Jensen is human, and makes mistakes like all of us do. Not that I matter at all, but I've known Jensen for a long time and have gotten the chance to spend a lot of time with him, behind the scenes, away from mics and cameras. I have seen him show kindness, humility, care to everyone around him, including strangers, including from the poorest most struggling parts of society, treating all the same with the same thoughtfulness and attention, because they are fellow humans and not because he has something to gain from them. That shows rare character, to maintain humility and humanity through all of it.
Another data point is what people who know him well have said privately to me about Jensen over the years. I've never had anyone tell me anything but how awesome he is or how much they love him. Probably over a thousand people at this point. This includes hundreds of engineers, CEOs, colleagues, friends, etc.
Also, since there was some spy talk. Jensen is as proud an American as it gets. I'm in shock frankly at all of this, including the mass hysteria around it. I love America, and I think NVIDIA letting Jensen go is terrible for America.
I stand with Jensen.
Love you all ❤️
@Xinyu2ML it's actually kinda unbelievable to me (but still true) even such a trillion-dollar mature company still heavily relies on its founder and founder team.
