I love how no one in the comments specifically mentions his name, like he's fucking Voldemort or something.
Jensen Huang!

MODERATORS
Oh, so this is about NVidia and its CEO. Thanks.
Yeah, he has been pissing everybody for quite a long time already. People still buy the things he sells...
How about the majority of comments asking what this means, and nobody answering?
The only Jensen I’m a fan of is Dani.
Don't forget Jensen Ackles!
Avada Raytracing!

Post: 60+ upvotes
User feedback: "What the hell does this meme mean?"
Lemmy users are really weird with their upvotes...
Not as weird as reddit. Go look at the front page these days. There are posts like "what's your name?" With thousands of upvotes. Completely worthless drivel is getting driven to the front page.
On lemmy.world i would fully believe anyone who said there are 60+ bots boosting any given post (obviously not every post). Thats not a lot when you think about it but enough to give certain posts traction and ensure they stay at the top for days.

Who is he what did he do?
CEO of a company that makes the computer part that is most important for gamers. He has a net worth of about 100 billion USD
Their products are currently better than the competition and they make full use of their position.
They are known for very high prices, scummy marketing tricks, and abusing their small business partners.
The company briefly overtook Apple and Microsoft, becoming the most valuable company at around 3 trillion USD.

Because of AI hype
It's not all hype.
nVidia has some SERIOUS R&D in the use of AI for the past 10 years.
But using AI in the graphic space... upscaling, downscaling, faking lighting, faking physics.. This is all very useful in making videogames.
Then there was a leap in the way AI Image generation was done with the above hardware. And that opened up a whole new growing field.
It's just some people took basic language models that have been around for 30 years and scaled them up with their hardware. And it was neat, and surprising some of the stuff a LLM would output. But not reliable.
And then suddenly a lot of layman's got their hand on the LLM's and thought it was the 2nd coming of Jesus, and started throwing big money at it.. it will be surprise to no one who knows how these AI's work that that big money isn't going anywhere.
But those first two, is no hype. It's a real viable use case for the AI, and money will be made there.
Youre missing a lot of events in that timeline tbh :p
Nvidia forcing developers to use cuda enabled hardware, hard locking their tech to their hardware, the crypto boom of 2016 and 2020, ...
Theyve done a lot of stuff to gamers and datacenters over the past years that made them as powerful as they were when gpt3 hit the public eye.
Me? Im stearing far far away from them. I dont support that business at all.
I'm not defending nVidia's business practices at all.
My point is the 'AI' hype isn't hype.
There's real value added AI work being done outside of the ChatGPT LLM thing going on.
Yeah, but a tiny sliver of their valuation is attributable to the durable and real value of "AI" approaches.
That's fine but the money flows almost exclusively to the latter part, thus making it an economical bubble which will break soon

But the insane growth is because of hype. Doesn't mean it's useless or makes it invalid, but they would nowhere be this big if it wasn't for the AI gold rush going on with all of their data centre cards being sold out immediately despite 50x profit margins and such.

Co-founder and CEO of Nvidia.
Okay and for those of us not keeping up with the news, why/how did he insult its own userbase?
Since this is about AI, I asked an AI. Bottom line is.. I have no idea and the AI doesn’t either:
How did the CEO of Nvidia insult gamers, artists, and Linux users?
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has made several statements that have been perceived as dismissive or controversial by gamers, artists, and Linux users:
Gamers:
In January 2019, Huang criticized AMD’s Radeon VII graphics card, calling it “underwhelming” and “lousy.” He stated, “The performance is lousy and there’s nothing new… [There’s] no ray tracing, no AI.” Such remarks were seen by some gamers as dismissive of competing products and their user base.
[okay?]
Artists:
In January 2024, NVIDIA showcased its ACE microservice, an AI suite capable of generating fully voiced AI characters. This demonstration raised concerns among artists about the potential for AI to replace human creativity and jobs in the industry. While Huang did not directly insult artists, the promotion of such technology led to apprehension regarding the future role of human artists.
[I guess he made a demo of technology?]
Linux Users:
In June 2012, Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, publicly criticized NVIDIA for its lack of support for Linux, calling the company “the single worst company we’ve ever dealt with.” He expressed frustration over NVIDIA’s unwillingness to support Linux systems, which was a significant concern for Linux users relying on NVIDIA hardware.
[It seems we are factoring in a lifetime of resentment. (But I agree)]

Who is he what did he do?
I read this in Detective John Kimble's voice.
He Is a tumaaah … on the IT industry
All of which keep buying his products...
People buy Nvidia no matter what. Even when they aren't the best choice. Then those same people complain about Nvidia doing the anticompetitive things they do.
The best is when people cheer for AMD making something great, only so they can buy an Nvidia card cheaper, as if the only reason AMD exists is to subsidise their Nvidia purchase!
Nvidia's greatest asset is the mindshare they have.
Well that and CUDA still means a load of professionals in various fields are stuck using Nvidia whether they like it or not. This means data centers are incentivised to go with Nvidia if they want those customers, which ultimately means if someone gonna work on code/tools that run in those data centers, you want the same architecture on your local machine for development and testing.
It's getting better, but the gap is still real. Hopefully the guys that are working on SCALE can actually get it working on the CDNA GPUs one day, since data centers are where a lot of the CUDA is running or perhaps the UDNA stuff AMD just announced will enable this.
The fact this is all hinging on the third party that develops SCALE, should highlight that AMD still doesn't seem to be playing the same game as Nvidia, which is why we're still in this position.
Definitely. CUDA has had a long headstart, and Nvidia were very clever in getting it entrenched early on, particularly in universities and such. It's also just... generally does the job.
My above comment was purely on the gaming side

The linear algebraic computations performed on their GPU's tensor cores (since the Turing era) combined with their CUDA and cuDNN software stack have the fastest performance in training deep neural network algorithms.
That may not last forever, but it's the best in terms of dollars per FLOPS an average DNN developer like myself has access to currently.
What's nVidia doing now?
What did Jensen Huang do this time?
Still not as bad as Hack Tran (CEO of: Broadcom/Vmware/CA/Symantec/Brocade), but close.
I believe that the shareholders are quite happy?
