Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang — whose work helped propel artificial intelligence — is stressing in an Associated Press interview that society has no choice but to change in the advent of AI.
He also thinks there are one billion people on earth total. So between that and the invention of cars being in his memory, I think we can place him solidly in the mid 1800’s?
I just took that statement to be a mask off moment where he reveals just how little he thinks of most humans. He can’t really be stupid enough to think there are only one billion humans on the planet?
It was tucked into a recent speech. I watched a timestamped link. He really said it and it really sounded like he meant the sum of all people.
Defenders say that he was implicitly referring to people who are “computer users” or would be engaging with his company’s products or whatever. If true, I don’t know if that’s better lol
Huang was born and spent early childhood in the city of Taipei. In 1968, by the time he was five years old, there were 17,000 cars and 75,000 motorcycles† in the city with population of 13,801,200‡, with one car per 812 people.

When cars came along? How old is he?

Fucking vampires
Wait…maybe AI isn’t wrong all the time. Maybe it was just programmed by CEOs that are wrong all the time!
That’s why CEOs think it’s right all the time and so dangerous. Be cause they’re deluded morons who don’t know it’s wrong.

A billion who matter maybe. Then the other 7 are just … there, sort of
Yea. I am inclined to read it as him just seeing people who can afford Nvidia products count towards being human.
Was this in the article or is this something he said elsewhere?

How old was he before cars were invented and playing in the street though
Saburo Arasaka was born in 1919 in Japan… wait, sorry, wrong biography. This corporate villain was born in Taiwan in 1963.
