Just a sad state of affairs. Jensen was by far the biggest voice pushing for open weights and keeping the Anthropic / OpenAI doom narrative from getting out of control.
Now without him there will be a vacuum for the ideologies of Dario / Elon / Sam to fill the void.
Open weights might simply be what benefits Nvidia the most. Guess we'll see what his replacement says.
They should be taken down next.
Perspective is a hell of a thing.
I've consistently seen Jensen as a transparently self-interested shovel salesman while we dig our own mass grave.
For a person in his position, he has been exceedingly slow to wake up to the prospect of AGI - he seemed genuinely surprised by arguments from informed layperson Ezra Klein, for example, like he'd never even heard of it before.
Don’t worry. They are next.
This is exactly why he was taken out. They waited until after the midterms and then dropped the news
Only because it benefits NVIDIA to have more potential customers in the shovel market to mine gold individually versus consolidating within a few providers (where the backend tooling becomes irrelevant to the consumers, and OpenAI & Co could freely change GPU manufacturers on a whim or move things in-house).
