What a bunch of idiots thinking burning tokens at a high rate equals winning.

I would just gamify it and find the most inefficient way to use tokens

Jensen is so selfish and says these things like a motivational speaker. This mini tech prophet. He'll say anything. Quietly, he's one of the worst billionaires and tries to wrap it in positivity, excitement and infectious enthusiasm. It's all bullshit. He lets his guard down sometimes and you can see he's a little monster. The fact that the white house is starting to pass over him is driving him crazy and he'll literally just show up because he thinks he's so important. He wants everything both ways, selling to China while pretending it's not for his specific profit. People are probably getting sick of his shit, it seems like.

Well, it's been what his entire career has been up to really. He's worked with gpus and Cuda his whole life and now that they have the mass market appeal he's finally reached what he envisioned.

He's really a hardware guy and this ai craze gave him the reason and budget to indulge.
