Jensen Huang to college grads: "Run. Don't walk" toward AI

https://www.axios.com/2026/05/...

Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang told graduates at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh yesterday that demand for AI infrastructure is creating a "once-in-a-generation opportunity to reindustrialize America and restore the nation's capacity to build."

Why it matters: With many college grads fearing AI could obliterate their career dreams, Huang pointed to boundless opportunity as a "new industry is being born. A new era of science and discovery is beginning ... I cannot imagine a more exciting time to begin your life's work."

Nvidia, which makes AI chips, is the world's most valuable company. Huang told 5,800 recipients of undergraduate and graduate degrees that the AI buildout will require plumbers, electricians, ironworkers, and builders for chip factories, data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities.

"No generation has entered the world with more powerful tools â" or greater opportunities â" than you," he said. "We are all standing at the same starting line. This is your moment to help shape what comes next. So run. Don't walk."

"Every major technological revolution in history created fear alongside opportunity," Huang added. "When society engages technology openly, responsibly, and optimistically, we expand human potential far more than we diminish it."

Ah, another nonsense unions-bad "argument" that is factually wrong.

Being a union member is one of the easiest ways to get higher wages:

Nonunion workers had median weekly earnings that were 85 percent of earnings for workers who were union members ($1,138 versus $1,337). (The comparisons of earnings in this news release are on a broad level and do not control for many factors that can be important in explaining earnings differences.) (See table 2.)

Comment Regarding Pakistan's increase of solar panel usage (Score 1) 293

Pakistan "has been spared some of the impact from the war, since it began drastically importing cheap Chinese solar panels a few years ago

The country's official energy production dropped 10% year over year recently (because people install their own, independent solar panels, from China).

This was mentioned by author Bill McKibben in a podcast episode of Why is this happening?

Or 300M plus interest per year over 5 years.

Not including Federal capital gains taxes on sale of any company shares that he liquidates, or California income taxes, likely at the 14.4% tax bracket.

Or he could try and find a bank to lend him 300M in cash every year, secured against his equity stake. Anyone?

Comment Free AWS? (Score 1) 191

So wait... if I migrate my stuff to the ME datacenters, I won't have to pay? I'm aware that service may not be available or intermittent, and that resources may be lost permanently without warning... but if I'm designing for fault tolerant operations, this seems like a perfect proving ground, and not having to pay during the reconstruction period seems like a bonus...
