One of the biggest stories of the week was the (forced?) resignation of Jensen Huang, a giant of the artificial intelligence industry, based on nothing more than unsubstantiated allegations. This right after Professor David M. Sabatini won his lawsuit proving that his career at MIT was ended by false claims and institutional dastardliness. You’d think that people in positions of corporate leadership would take time to weigh the evidence instead of acting like lynch mobs.
What, in sum, is Nvidia’s product? Why are Huang and Nvidia of national importance? And who and what motivates this mob?
Nvidia
The company supplies graphics processors -- once used to run computer games. Artificial intelligence models process trillions of numbers in simple (especially parallel) calculations, allowing so many to be performed simultaneously. Huang’s genius was turning a company that made chips for computer games and recognizing “they were ideal for the biggest growth engine in the world today.”
It was Huang’s decisions and vision that made this possible.
Jensen believed that parallel computing had structural advantages that would make it preferable to the alternatives, even if the applications were not yet clear. This also led Nvidia to actively push for the development of artificial intelligence using the tools it had made accessible. When the world of artificial intelligence exploded, the other chip companies were caught unprepared, with the necessary infrastructure not yet accessible.
It’s not only his technological vision, it’s his management style -- something he shares with Elon Musk and which runs opposite to the calcified institutional structures we’ve grown accustomed to.
Jensen championed a hierarchy-breaking approach and worked directly with every level of the organization. If you ask junior employees at Nvidia, many will tell you about personal interactions with Jensen on professional and personal matters.

Destroyed by the CCP.

The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman, Ana Swanson, and Stephen Witt, seem to be drum majors for ousting Huang, and in the case of Ana Swanson, her source for much of her past tech articles appears to be Jack Clark, co-founder and head of policy at Anthropic (Nvidia’s chief rival, which it is claimed yearns for a “government-regulated monopoly”).
And of course the ultimate beneficiary is China. It reminds me of the Cold War where the left did everything to undercut the West's advantage against the Soviets, except now it's China.
