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."

Is this what you want for the future?

My thoughts back when R1 came out:

So what are the 500 CVEs?

...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.

"misconfigurations" If you use a trivially guessable root password or install sketchy vulnerable third party software all bets are off regardless of how good Linux is. But I bet that had they had SELinux enforcing or running fapolicyd (standard built in security features) they wouldn't have been hacked.

PHP has been a disaster since the beginning. People start out as novice programmers who don't know about better with PHP and it happily lets them shoot themselves in the foot. It's as if the language was specifically designed to encourage it, even. Also check out https://reddit.com/r/lolphp for a long list of PHP fails. Go update your WordPress and all plugins, too. You know it needs it.

I am founder/mod on 8 subreddits. They are not censored or "managed" in any way other than removing obvious commercial spam and harmful scams solely per my own personal preferences as the moderator. I've never had any communications with reddit corporate.

Also, fuck you /u/spez for turning off the API for third party apps.

I was 100% Linux since before Win 95 came out. Windows 3.1 was the last Windows I ever had installed on any machine I owned.

How does secure boot reduce malware? Boot sector viruses etc have been out of style for decades. All of the malware that I'm familiar with did it's thing after the boot process. It seems like it is protecting against a largely theoretical attack.

The problem is complicated and hard to reduce to a paragraph or two.

My point seems to be missed:

To get to cures, we have to side-step the free market. I'm not criticizing them. They see opportunity and do their jobs. The problem is that there is minimal, if any, opportunity in cures.

The only solution is to make up the profitability shortfall so as to improve citizens' lives.

I don't give a hoot about the political perspective on this. My focus is on getting to cures. End of story.

Why is there no cure for diabetes? Because it doesn't make economic sense. There's an incredible industry around diabetes and a cure would harm it significantly.

Before we go on, it's easy to yell Big Pharma - but they are just doing there jobs and, if they don't want to increase profits, they will get fired and somebody else will step in to fill their shoes.

How do we solve the problem of both Diabetes 1 and 2?

It's going to take governments with guts. The guts to form a Public Private Partnership to really execute on cures.

Every country on the planet should each take on one or more diseases and be the centre of expertise for that disease - with a focus on a cure, NOT on treatments.

If we ranked of the top killers, they would be Coronary Artery Disease, Strokes, Flu, Pneumonia, TB, COPD, Respiratory Cancers, Diabetes, Prostate, Breast, Alzheimers and other Cancers - not to mention Cirrhosis and Diarheal diseases

If each of the G19 took on two each, we'd be done with these scourges in a decade.
