Dear Folks,

Has anyone, in recent years, heard or seen such utter Hype-Tripe as Jensen was spouting recently for the SuperBowl Audience?

Has he now become the new Rainmaker?

Has he been watching the great film, Rainmaker, and has he been taking pointers from Burt Lancaster?

And, what is REALLY with that black-leather snakeskin jacket he has been sporting, everywhere he goes?

Snakeskin is expensive, and one must admit he can probably afford it...but...such..

Poor Taste.

It makes him look sort of like and overgrown lizard.

Maybe he should return to Taiwan, to cool off for a year, before returning to the USA?

Just listen to Jensen speak a mile-a-minute in frenzied terms in this CNBC interview, the one with some fellow booster at his side.

Disgusting really, and not something any REAL SCIENTIST might do.

No, he has become more like a used-car salesmen, these days.

Has he not?

Just take a listen to what he says here..."it's incredible", he says:
(Yes, truly, it IS incredible, or not-credible, is more like it.)

But, Jensen is not the first snake-oil salesman.

Burt Lancaster's character exemplified this Jensen-type of character, so well in this great film clip:

Just check out the COSTUMES that both men are wearing...WAY OVER THE TOP....are they not?

Jensen could improve his costume if he would now just choose to wear a RED BANDANNA wtih his shiny snake-skin jacket.

Where does he buy them, anyway, one wonders...

Burt is FAR MORE HANDSOME, though.

And taller, too.

Burt has a great deal more stature and stage presence than Jensen, as well.

Jensen: Well, the least we can say about this is that you just CANNOT TAKE THE TAIWAN out of him. I think he was born in some backwater town, like Tainan, Taiwan. Tainan, back then, had mud streets in the city, which would flood when it rained. What a dump. I was there in 1980, or so, and I do remember that sight.

Will Jensen always tell the truth, when the truth might hurt?

Do you think?

The transparent exaggeration and hyperbole, and lying, is astounding.

Jensen is always trotted out when things look dire for AI, or for his business.

He should run for President of the USA, maybe?

Liars make the best president, as everybody knows.

Also, in case anyone might stop to check the rapid rate of progress of Gemini....

Gemini has already closed the gap with OpenAI, in terms of monthly users.

And, Google has the money to fund what it is investing in capital expenditure, which is ANYTHING BUT the case with Jensen's dark-horse, OpenAI.

Things are bound to get interesting FAST, now that Jensen and Sam are obviously so desperate.

All the data is there for anyone to read.

Gemini is quickly closing the gap.

And, Google's data centers do NOT need NVIDIA GPUs....whatsoever.

Google's chips are better for inference, compared to those of NVIDIA, anyway.

Is it any wonder that Jensen is running scared?

Recently, when Jensen returned to Taiwan, he looked VERY Out of Sorts, to say the least.

He snapped at reporters who asked good questions.

And, his smile was obviously forced.

I know the Taiwan culture, pretty well.

And, it is not too difficult to read Jensen Huang, if you have lived in Taiwan, and know the culture.

There will be more to come from Jensen, soon.

This modern-day Rainmaker drama is riveting, but less likely to have the same happy ending as...

Lancaster's Rainmaker film.

Best regards,

Gamma

Note: If we wait long enough, they are bound to get what they deserve. Won't they?

Wow! That's a lot of talking your book. Jensen ought to listen to that Rema song.

The gold analogy from the sidekick is pure BS. $660 billion in capital outlay is great for the capital goods makers, but it suggests cash flow is going to take a long time to yield any sort of ROI. Yes, they'll buy chips that last 18 months, but use generous GAAP to depreciate it over 10 years. That just creates a false image of earnings.

In this daisy chain that might begin with Nvidia, there has to be an end user. Making better "targeted ads" using AI and algorithms to project customer wishes is useless, if the end user is a guy whose job was replaced by AI. Plus, I have no idea what "better use of social media by META" means. More depression among Millennials and Gen-Z? Gee, that seems like the way to build a vibrant society.

The daisy chain hits a bump at the end user. All the hyperscalers are dressed for a party that may not happen.

AI isn't necessarily tech in search of a use, but it does seem to be tech that destroys the hoped-for end user. Unless economies are going to be just the 3% who are benefiting from the advent of AI, it looks like a bubble. All the obviated workers are not going to have the dosh to be a user of anything that generates a profit. It will be like trying to sell Bugatti Chirons in the tribal areas of Pakistan. Folks may want the thing, but few or none have $3 million to put the thing on a dirt road.

Or maybe everybody will be a crypto trillionaire and we'll all fill our garages with Bugattis and Paganis.

Maybe 1 + 1 = 26, and I'm just stuck on the old math.

During that CNBC SuperBowl-time interview...

Jensen was obviously high on "something".

Just a rhetorical question: Why won't these basically-uneducated, superstar-super-billionaire rags-to-riches tech guys speak in considered and logical terms, just presenting the facts in an unemotional way?

Was it Jobs who first started this trend of doing songs-and-dance, on stage at huge IT-Meets?

Ballmer was a nutcase on stage, and everybody in the Valley loved it.

Most of those alive today do not recall the Great-Old IBM days when IT companies actually GAVE respect and RECEIVED respect.

Now, though....the Men of Respect, people such as those that worked for IBM and HP-of-Yore,...

Have been replaced by CLOWNS at a costume party.

They are all show and NO SUBSTANCE, it seems.

And, this show is what the bottom 95% of the population prefers?

Some sort of Roman Coliseum show?

Is NOBODY in control these days?

Or, is EVERYTHING out of control?

Obviously, there is NO self-control.

Jensen is a perfect example of the difference between Science and Technology.

Technology, if done well, and if it is not HYPE, attempts to apply what is learned through Science, and Natural Science.

Sam is a perfect example of the difference between Science-Technology and Used-Car-Salemanship, practiced by someone TOTALLY IGNORANT of the knowledge and limitations of Science.

Sam believes that he will cure cancer, just through his efforts at Hyping OpenAI.

Since Sam never had a college education, much less a university education focused on Science, he is lost in a world of Fantasy, totally separate from the the bounds of reality.

And, since most Americans, also, have a sub-standard education, and very few have taken the time to spend years doing Science at university, they are ignorant of what is possible and what is completely improbably. They fall into the traps set by the likes of Sam and Jensen, and others in the Valley.

Most politicians running the US Gov are also completely ignorant of science, having pursued relatively useless degrees in Law, and Political Science.

They have no idea concerning the differences between Natural Science, Social Science, and Philosophy, and of course...the study of their own Fantasies.

Yes: The study of Artificial Systems in the hands of those who know nothing of Science, or Natural Science, can be a very dangerous thing, if those same imbeciles gain two much power, and control over the vital resources needed by the world.

To my Readership:

The main reason I intentionally make, and randomly insert, idiotic spelling errors, grammar errors, and sometimes facetious thinking, into my Glorious Topics is this:

I do NOT want anyone here to believe that I might have resorted to some AI, like ChatGPT, to write my own text for me.

Every time you come across one of my glaring idiotic errors in spelling, this is sufficient proof which tells you that this Topic was written NOT by a chatbot, but by me.

Also, recently, I have come to fear that there is some force in the universe which perversely changes my proper spelling to improper spelling of words, after I post my Topics, and consequently find it impossible to make further changes, myself.

Unfortunately there just aren't very many decent, level-headed billionaires out there these days, the only ones I can think of off hand are Ted Turner and Mark Cuban who seem to have their feet on the ground, and seem to genuinely care about common folks.

Also Boonchai Bencharongkul, the Thai billionaire who founded DTAC seems willing to give back to society. In 2012, he built the Museum of Contemporary Art in Bangkok to showcase his collection.[3] Personally, he is a follower of the Dhammakaya movement—he found that Buddhism and meditation had helped him through his father's death and the financial crisis.

Jensen seems like a weirdo and that jacket seems to be a kind of a paint by numbers, "I really, really want to look hip" kind of gesture, which reeks of insincerity.

Harder to find than a needle in a haystack.

Jensen's jacket is a scream!

It's like he is stuck in the 50s, and part of a motorcycle gang, or something...

Here is an interesting question, yet unanswered:

When unelected Billionaires and Trillionaires wield 95-percent of power in any society...

Will there be any room left for Democracy?

I think it's called Technocracy.

But they still have to maintain decent standards of living or there will be chaos in the streets.

I plan to join the Chinese Communist Party.

They know how to put these megalomaniacal IT-drop-out-Dim-Wits in their place.

Remember what happened to:

This is how we roll, in China.

This is what is needed in the Valley, too.

Yep, ain't that the truth.

Xi knows how to keep his billionaire dogs on a leash.

And ... did you notice there is less divisiveness in one-party systems?

Until he stops wearing that ridiculous leather jacket ensemble, I cannot take him seriously.

I don't like either.

They are both very calculating, in a bad way.

The dude on the right: "Who IS this clown?" and "How OLD does he think he is?"

"Does he wear Calvin Klein panties?"

Speaking Truth to Power?

Not easy.

Speaking Logic to Jensen?

Impossible.

Linus Torvalds, the Linux Kernel Developer, was right about NVIDIA, from the very beginning.

Jensen HATES the OpenSource movement.

Jensen despises Egalitarianism.

Torvalds states that AI will be KEPT OUT of the Linux kernel, thank you!!!

Linux is a HAVEN of SANITY, these days, what with Windows 11, and Jensen nipping at our heels.

So, very worth a watch, for those who don't like their OSes inseparable from AI, and soon Jensen's Vision of GPU-driven computers, instead of traditional CPUs.

And, are RATIONAL PEOPLE, Rational Smart people, insane for criticizing Jensen's Vision and Mania?

Here, below, is a logical video, from one of the few logical YouTubers left, talking about Jensen's belittlement of anyone with a differing opinion about the future of computers, and the future of AI, and what might be a better path than that which Jensen, just one little man, has chosen for NVIDIA, and the world (our world, not Jensen's world).

Why the question?

Are you jealous because you do/don't wear them?

Jetsen Huang seems to have had very odd sartorial preferences, for quite some time.

Obviously, the dude in the image I posted is wondering just how far these strange tastes extend.

By the way, Jetsen, unfortunately for us, seems to have the mind of a true Religious Zealot, as anyone can plainly see.

And thus, Jetsen, in his mind, is the ONLY one able to see...

The Light

The True Path

After so many years of running a large and very powerful company, this experience has clearly reshaped Jetsen's brain.

There is plenty of social science research which explores the dynamics of how this does happen to such people.

With respect Gamma, I think you're not seeing the big picture here.

AI is transformative. Jensen Huang founded and is leading one of the best AI-hardware companies, and has benefitted accordingly. And on a sartorial note, did you despise Steve Jobs for consistently wearing a black turtleneck top?

Unless this is affecting you in a way that hasn't been revealed, it's hard to imagine that you're not motivated by envy.

10 minutes ago, IsaanT said:

Absolutely I did.

I despised Jobs for doing two unconsciounable things:

a. He intentionally led others to consider him a Scientist, when he was anything but a scientist.

b. He began this BLACK FASHION trend among IT Billionaires, and even among people like Elizabeth Holmes.

But, concerning Jensen: His fault is that he is still, culturally speaking, Hakka, and extremely clannish.

Just one example of this: Jetsen's cousin is running AMD...!!!

Also, Jetsen takes a LOT of credit for the work of others at NVIDIA.

And, one other unforgivable offense he has committed continuously is his well-known stance against OPENSOURCE systems.

Why? As the megalomaniac that he is, Jetsen wants to run it ALL.

Concerning your thesis that I might be motivated by envy:

I am NOT envious, in any way, of Jetsen.

However, I am, very much, in awe of my fellow-alum, ELON.

Elon actually IS a scientist, and a genius, without peer among IT-company CEOs.

I DO NOT ENVY Elon, however, whatsoever.

I enjoy, immensely, watching Elon go from success to success on a steady trajectory to Mars.

The idea that I might be, in ANY WAY, envious or jealous of Jetsen is a VERY ABSURD idea.

However, this entire fiasco, meaning having just one IT CEO able to control, personally, so many of the world's scarce resources....

THAT IS ABSURD, for sure.

What IS IT that you believe makes Jetsen so special, and so special that he has the right, or the opportunity, to make world changing decisions?

Does he have the support of the people, as a duly elected representative of the will of the rest of humanity, the remaining 99.9999-percent?

We do NOT need Jetsen as much as he thinks we do.

Jetsen is not that important, from a realistic perspective.

His rise to power is NOT based in his inherent talents, any more than the next dude.

And, he is not as smart as he is especially lucky.

We also do not know his full story, by the way.

Who will be the last man standing after this AI knife-fight is over?

Let us hope it is Google.

Unlike Jetsen, Google lives up to its motto: Do no evil.

By the way: What do the Indians think of Jetsen?

We know that Google is being run by the Indians, in a major way.

This is just one more factor why Google will win.

And, we DO NOT need Jetsen's GPUs.

He thinks we do, but we do not.

Jetsen is over the hill, and holding on, for dear life, at this moment.

IMHO: Any chips which are not on the bleeding-edge of energy-efficiency will become too costly to use, and they will be worthless.

Energy is not free.

So, as you point out: Maybe 18 months, or so?

This is a huge unsolved problem.

One major problem might be:

We now have a case of non-scientists using very powerful technology to dabble in Science.

The CEOs, at least the nitwit CEOs, such as SAM, have no grounding in Science, and no understanding of almost everything of importance.

They are 19-year-old dropouts.

They know nothing.

Yet, they are being given the opportunity to toy with very powerful forces which impact both society and our environment, and even livelihoods of billions of people.

They know nothing.

Yet, for some reason, they are given the unbridled power to toy with the levers.

How crazy is this?
