Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Lex Fridman in a Monday podcast interview that he believed AGI had been achieved, then seemed to slightly walk back the claim.
Oh he’s clearly very desperate for the hype to keep going. His ass is literally on the line. (I mean, golden parachute, but he’ll never work again), so no more infinite money glitch.
I forget who said it, but if AI doesn’t literally surpass all current realms of thinking and automate everything, i.e. what they promised, it has failed. To the investors it means it failed. With that, the stock does not continue up exponentially, which to investors also means it failed. Then they demand he resign, and they put someone else in there.
He could have stayed realistic through the whole thing. “Hey everyone, we’re learning day by day, and we’re proud to be the chipmakers to bring this to you.” Modest growth, but sustainable long term growth. Instead they drank the kool-aid full on, and said that it’ll cure all disease and wipe out hunger and everything else. Now he’s freaking out because all of the latest ideas are duds, people aren’t buying the hype anymore, and that means Jensen might be looking at the end of his tenure.
Fridman, the podcast’s host, defines AGI as an AI system that’s able to “essentially do your job,” as in start, grow, and run a successful tech company worth more than $1 billion. He then asks Huang when he believes AGI will be real — asking if it’s, say, five, 10, 15, or 20 years away — and Huang responds, “I think it’s now. I think we’ve achieved AGI.”
Lex Fridman is a fucking moron and his pretentious podcast is unbearable. These people are so dumb and unimaginative. Of course they think the test of general intelligence is the ability to be a profiteering capitalist techbro, and intelligence can be measured in how many billions you can screw other people for. Maybe when the revolution comes it will dawn on them that they were wrong. A person can dream…

Confession time… just like Elon Musk, initially I though Fridman was good. I even recommended his podcast when he started it around 2018. I was thinking “Nice, he’s doing interesting technical interviews” then gradually it became longer and longer about broader and broader topics to the point I asked myself “So… is it still <<The Artificial Intelligence Podcast>>” then shortly after stopped listening entirely.
I think he’s deal is networking. He started with his domain of expertise, namely AI, but then (that’s just me speculating) he noticed the correlation between audience size and fame of the guest, so he tried to gradually climb the social ladder of guests, pulling bigger and bigger names regardless of the topic. He used fame from his employer, MIT, then of his guests, to keep on doing so, and it worked. I also imagined he noticed that the more controversial the broad topic was, again the bigger the audience.
So it went from technical niche to teach… to generalist discussion podcast trying to be “open” to the most outlandish views.
TL;DR: it started good IMHO but it slowly yet surely devolved into garbage indeed.
Guy who sells AI: This stuff is scary powerful and it keeps me awake at night. Nobody should be allowed to make this ever again. Make it illegal. Also, we can safely control it and use its power. Invest in us to use this useful tool. But nobody else can make a profit- er, I mean, do the dangerous thing.

And DLSS5 wasn’t generative AI… Ok grifter
He literally said it was gen ai during the keynote. The lie was on it not touching geometry
The bubble must be showing signs of weakening.
That’s why he was trying to make “flywheel” the new buzzword during gtc
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahhahahha…
deep breath
Hahahhahahahhahahhahahhaha…
Fuck off you twat. Your chatbots are stupid.
Is there LSD woven into his mid life crisis leather jackets he wears?
God damnit, he’s singlehandedly made them uncool. Now what will I wear when I get a mid-life crisis?
must be tuesday
I can’t keep up with all the acronyms. Does AGI mean ‘Anal Girth Ingestion’?
top signal
I think we have achieved false advertising.
AGI isn’t when you think, it’s when it thinks. If it exists prove it or else you’re just pumping hype into the bubble

Ask it for a picture with no elephants.
I knew it was bad, but not this bad.
To be fair, that’s exactly the kind of picture that would pop into my head given that prompt. Try to imagine that your nose doesn’t itch.
My nose does not itch.
Hey man, fuck you
Thanks, you have a nice day too.
Try not to think of a pink elephant.
Mistral worked:
NVidia’s Jensen Huang has a bag he wants you to hold.
I was going to say I haven’t held any nVidia bags in years, but then I spied my Switch 2.
My fucking car has an Nvidia APU :(
Wow I think I have achieved SOY 😮👉

Capitalism in general, in a nutshell.
Hé may also have started employing someone to do the bookings and they had no domain knowledge?
On this day, AGI was achieved for the 11,927th time.
