       | host here. thanks for sharing Tim. highlights for me: Nvidia
       | founding story, his pov on the durability of transformers, the
       | two ways he runs nvidia (shipping reliable chips and exploring
       | new fringe applications), and the apps he's interested in (eg
       | climate modeling, bio).
       | 
       | feedback and guest suggestions?

       | Interview with Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. Worth the
       | listen. Podcast is "No Priors" with Elad Gil and Sarah Guo.

       | The podcast opened with a completely, utterly false statement,
       | then I closed the tab.

       | Try to stick to the facts, AI VC boosters.

         | One way to listen to a CEO, is to soak in their pitch to see
         | what clues to reality lie within.

           | Not the OP, but the podcast opens with a pull-quote of sorts
           | (spoken by the host) about how LLMs, for the first time,
           | allow people to program via natural language. This is an
           | exaggeration, but not much of one. I've generated usable
           | Python code with ChatGPT, for example.
           | 
           | I think it's important to note that the whole point of having
           | an opening like this is to intrigue you into listening to the
           | podcast. So of course it's going to be a slightly shocking
           | quote.
