alt Hacker News> who I'd previously considered to be an incredibly smart guy
To an extremely ignorant person on the matter like me, and genuinely asking, what has he achieved in terms of engineering and development, that makes you think he's smart? Or do you mean in the sense of knowing its way through business and politics? Idk I always find difficult to believe that people really think that CEOs are smart, when they commonly are not involved what so ever in any scientific leading or research, and just funnel money to a product that make them richer.
But I prefer to believe I'm wrong and would like to hear form the other side.

idk maybe successfully founding & managing (currently) BIGGEST technological company for 3 decades,
that's main driver behind the biggest technological innovation of humankind requires you to be quite smart, don't you think?

If you really believe that picking what to invest is easy, then go ahead to the stock market - you should outperform it easily then.

For real. Without the crypto bubble and then the AI bubble, he would still be a guy selling GPUs to gamers.
NVidia was at the right place at the right time, nothing else.
