🚨 Jensen Huang is a guest on the Joe Rogan Podcast for a
- 5-hour in-depth conversation! From NVIDIA on the verge of bankruptcy to a 3 trillion empire, from sending the first AI supercomputer to Elon Musk to his views on Trump, there is a huge amount of information! 🤯 🔥 Quick overview of core highlights: 1️⃣ The DGX-1 for Elon Musk In 2016, Jen-Hsun Huang personally delivered the world’s first AI supercomputer DGX-1 to the office of OpenAI (which was still a non-profit organization at the time). Famous scene: Elon points to the machine and says "I want that". Rating: This is modern AI's "Big Bang" moment. The OpenAI team at that time was in a small room. Who would have thought that it would later change the world? 2️⃣ Comments on Donald Trump: “Incredible listener” who can remember almost everything you say. Style: Very outspoken, anti-politician and based on common sense. Policy: Huang specifically mentioned "Drill, baby, drill" (energy policy). Without energy growth there is no industrial growth and therefore no AI factories. The reshoring of U.S. manufacturing is critical to national security. 3️⃣ NVIDIA’s darkest moment and Sega’s life-saving money Crisis: In the early days, NVIDIA chose the wrong 3D technology route and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Turning point: Huang Jen-Hsun had to tell Sega CEO that their technology was not good, and suggested that Sega find someone else, but asked Sega if it could invest the remaining $5 million in NVIDIA if it did not terminate the contract. Result: Sega CEO actually agreed! That $5 million saved NVIDIA’s life. If that money hadn't been available, NVIDIA would have evaporated long ago. 4️⃣ CEO’s Anxiety and “Pain Gene” Mentality: Even though he is now one of the most valuable companies in the world, he still wakes up at 6 a.m. every morning worried that the company will collapse. Driving force: "I am driven more by the fear of failure than by the desire for success." Workaholic: Working every day, there is no so-called vacation (as long as I am with my family, it is considered a vacation, but I am still answering emails). 5️⃣ Amazing predictions about AI In the next 2-3 years, 90% of the world’s knowledge may be generated by AI. AI will significantly lower the technical threshold. There is no need to learn C++ or Python. You only need to be able to speak "human language" to program. 6️⃣ Hard-core childhood: He was sent to the United States from Thailand by his parents at the age of 9 and accidentally entered a "Reform School" in Kentucky. The roommate is a 17-year-old “ruthless man” with scars all over his body. All the students in the school smoked, and he tried smoking for a week (in order to be gregarious), and he was also responsible for cleaning the toilets in the entire dormitory. This experience made him extremely resilient. 💡: This is an absolute “American Dream” story. An immigrant kid went from cleaning toilets in the poorest county in Kentucky to running the most important technology company in the world. The secret of Huang Renxun's success is not "I am very smart", but the sense of crisis "I am afraid of screwing up every day". 👇 Full video portal: Joe Rogan Experience #2422 - Jensen Huang via @YouTube
