Honestly disappointed with everyone who is writing him off. He's one of our most talented tech visionaries. No reason we should surrender him to the non-tech media / clown op class.

True
"Socialism sucks." - @mlevchin "Take it from somebody who spent his first 16 years under the 'warm embrace of collectivism' as a certain mayor recently put it—socialism sucks." "The only people who do well in redistribution of wealth are the ones doing redistribution." "It's fundamentally corrupt. There's not enough bad things I can say about socialism."

$NVDA $MU $SNDK $LITE Lloyd survived the gauntlet. This is one of his best quotes, and I listen to it all the time.
Sad about Jensen. Shakespearean. But as de Gaulle said, “The graveyards are filled with indispensable men.”

Don't make the mistake of thinking this is about his infidelity. These articles will not stop until he agrees to follow Anthropic's proposal to block inference for unsigned and registered open-models in the firmware of modern GPUs. This is a pretty transparent concerted effort at centralizing control over compute ressources and the ability to execute ever more powerful local models. Jensen is the tip of the spear pushing back at this (in part for his own economic reasons). I'm team Jensen, his affairs are none of my business, not even the alleged support of circumvention of export controls are my business, his position on open-weight models is.
Jensen Huang must go We argue in @TheEconomist that his position is untenable "Like many powerful leaders, he came to believe that he was too important for the normal rules to apply to him." But he is not the only one. Howard Lutnick has failed to stem the flow of chips to China. More heads should roll

My brother’s friend drives a Tesla. This is 3 videos of the same accident. The Tesla, on self drive, sees the approaching car coming from behind at excessive speed and moves out of the way. Driver of speeding car was killed. Amazing technology @elonmusk.

This is the definition of insanity, and it shows how far the @UN has fallen.
SHAME: The U.N. General Assembly just elected the murderous Islamic Republic of Iran to its Committee for Program and Coordination, the main body shaping the world organization’s priorities on Women’s Rights, Human Rights, Disarmament and Counter-Terrorism. 144 voted for Iran. 🧵
