Gamer's Nexus has released a video rundown of Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, presenting a live keynote at Computex in Taiwan. It has little educational value, Nvidia attempts to promote their AI endeavors, but instead is some of the best unintentional hilarity I've ever seen in tech. If you don't want to watch the full video, then just check out the first couple of minutes to get the idea.
Of course, Gamer's Nexus had to title the video "Nvidia is obsessed with Apple", because that gets clicks among the hardcore PC gaming crowd who hate the fruit company. Despite the topographical similarities, the audience for Macs and PCs are substantially bifurcated among traditional desktop computer users.
Apple is only mentioned two times in the entire video where Steve says "Apple has a very closed ecosystem, which is very anti-consumer". What Tech Jesus doesn't seem to understand is the "closed ecosystem" is a substantial factor in why I am a Mac user. Controlling the entire widget is part of the appeal, instead of dealing with driver issues, bloatware, exploding chips, a random hodgepodge of parts, telemetry spyware, questionable service, and the participation trophy that is Microsoft Windows.
The other time is when he says that "Nvidia wants to be Apple". From the keynote, Nvidia are clearly failing. Apple would never do a presentation resembling this dreck. Jensen clearly has no idea how to speak publicly and his dad jokes fall flat. Apple sprinkles in some humor, like Craig Federighi running his hand through his fabulous hair or playing sexy saxophone music while opening a MacBook. Sorry Nvidia, the 2000s called, they want their "can it run Crysis?" jokes back. No amount of leather jackets could save Jensen from this train wreck.
We already have a thread on the future of AI. This video demonstrates the current state of AI, which is a billionaire making a fool of himself onstage.
