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."

...like "Tell me about Tiananmen Square" or "Tell me about Xinjiang".

Is this what you want for the future?

My thoughts back when R1 came out:

...an article worth considering from Princeton University's Zeynep Tufekci:

We Were Badly Misled About the Event That Changed Our Lives

Since scientists began playing around with dangerous pathogens in laboratories, the world has experienced four or five pandemics, depending on how you count. One of them, the 1977 Russian flu, was almost certainly sparked by a research mishap. Some Western scientists quickly suspected the odd virus had resided in a lab freezer for a couple of decades, but they kept mostly quiet for fear of ruffling feathers.

Yet in 2020, when people started speculating that a laboratory accident might have been the spark that started the Covid-19 pandemic, they were treated like kooks and cranks. Many public health officials and prominent scientists dismissed the idea as a conspiracy theory, insisting that the virus had emerged from animals in a seafood market in Wuhan, China. And when a nonprofit called EcoHealth Alliance lost a grant because it was planning to conduct risky research into bat viruses with the Wuhan Institute of Virology â" research that, if conducted with lax safety standards, could have resulted in a dangerous pathogen leaking out into the world â" no fewer than 77 Nobel laureates and 31 scientific societies lined up to defend the organization.

So the Wuhan research was totally safe, and the pandemic was definitely caused by natural transmission â" it certainly seemed like consensus.

We have since learned, however, that to promote the appearance of consensus, some officials and scientists hid or understated crucial facts, misled at least one reporter, orchestrated campaigns of supposedly independent voices and even compared notes about how to hide their communications in order to keep the public from hearing the whole story. And as for that Wuhan laboratoryâ(TM)s research, the details that have since emerged show that safety precautions might have been terrifyingly lax.

Nah. It probably found instances of modern women talking about how their abortion allowed them to secure wealth and a nice career for themselves, and then correlated that with ancient practices of sacrificing children before demon-gods for wealth, power, and a good harvest, and then generated the image.

I wonder if the most influential data sources can be extracted from the system. I'll have to ask later.
Anyway, I recall that research has shown that if you limit AI to giving answers that only confirm with a particular worldview, the quality and accuracy of results goes down dramatically.

Revoking a degree means nothing. Potential employers only care about the fact that you did earn the degree, not that you have some debt issue with your college. Such a move would just be adding another checkbox to your credit report, which potential employers sometimes check as it is.

Brightline is a privately owned company. I think they actually intend for this to be a profitable venture- and hence a profitable investment- based on their experience in Florida. So 'We' who might use that money elsewhere is whoever they find as investors or lenders in this project, not any government.
One would have to do some research to be sure whether or not public funding is involved, but I haven't seen any in the linked article.

Make sure you're actually fixing things. A 'single use' plastic bag is 5 or 6 grams of plastic and is incredibly easy to make. Reusable bags take dozens or hundreds the amount of resources to produce, and must be periodically washed, increasing the environment footprint even further.

Remember back in the 90's when Al Gore said we'd all be dead from global warming in 10 years? Turned out that actually happened. Scientists were able to capture our minds and put them in a complex supercomputer that's solar powered at the last minute, and reset our memories to a few years before.

That's why simulation theory is such a hot topic these days, because the simulation is imperfect and we're beginning to see through the cracks.

But never fear, we're already dead from climate change, just as was predicted decades ago. We can't possibly die a second time. The computers are safely situated.

Happy trails! /end sarcasm.

....and they want to make sure they keep on getting invited to the right cocktail parties. So their first consideration is the acceptability of their review in their social circles, and that often depends on the movie's position on the 'upper crust's' pet social causes. The quality and entertainment value of a movie are less important than 'sending the right message.'

The disproportionate representation of smaller states in the senate and the electoral college is the point of those systems! In a 'pure' democracy, the different needs and character of the smaller population states would be run over roughshod by a handful of cities. The republic & federal form of government ensure that states are largely governed according to the needs and desires of their residents, and that anything done on the national government level is the result of a broad consensus on those issues.

To mourn the system as 'broken' because of the design of the Senate and Electoral college is to say that you don't want those 'country people' to matter; that you just want to rule them from far-off cities.

I don't believe that the studies about 'names' controlled for perceived class; I'm not sure how those 'researchers' selected names for their study and called them 'white' and 'black' (or whatever), but if you don't control for class perception then the researchers might have been revealing their own biases and limited view. Social research is fraught with these kinds of problems and worse (like outright fabrication, or more kindly 'non-reproducibility')

As for blind orchestra auditions, some orchestras are trying to do away with those so they can get the right mixture of skin tones to fit their preferences. The folks who got into the orchestras by benefit of blind auditions are out of favor among the politically active set and must be replaced.

Of the many differences between Jacobs' stunt and this planned stunt, one of the most important parts is that the planes will be going straight down towards a controlled target area, where it will be ensured that no one is in danger should a plane crash. Further, steps will be taken to protect the environment from spilled oil and avgas.

1) Levels of antibodies against COVID fade noticeably over a period of months.

T-cells are the body's mechanism for providing long lasting resistance, and they are significantly more difficulty to test for. Fading antibodies does not mean 'no protection'.
Here's the first article when I searched, but they've been discussed for months and I'm sure you can find plenty.
