      I love Steve-O’s story of buying a phone with Wozniak.

      They go to the Apple store, Woz walks up to the counter and says “I’d like to use my employee discount to buy a phone.” The employee asks if he has his card, he says “no but I know my employee number.” The employee then asks for the number, expecting to get something with multiple digits, and Wozniak just replies with “One.”

      If that isn’t the biggest dick energy response to a question I’ve ever heard.

    Jensen wasn’t personally responsible for the AI boom. It was a once-in-a-career coincidence. He’s just another corporate tool.

    We need to stop assuming CEOs are geniuses. They are just average at best but with antisocial tendencies.

      They do manage to transfer their antisocial traits to their companies tho, so, as someone who’s been holding a grudge with nVidia for over 20 years, I’m happy to see him go.

      Sweeney is a moron, but I actually hope he is right this time. It would make me very happy to see Nvidia, the mastermind company of the entire AI-bubble we are living in now, crash and burn.

      Sadly, as already stated, Sweeney is a moron, and he is most likely not right.

    People with money are putting a lot of “spin” on this story already. Social media posts like “so what if a CEO has affairs, if he’s doing a good job??” etc.

    They all conveniently ignore the Affair With a Chinese Spy part. That’s the part where he was not doing a good job, and it’s an important part.
