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."

Thanks! I'm a bit curious about the 217m section length ðY"

Years ago I lost quite a bit of money with a so-called meme stock Mind Med. Their idea was that psilocybin could be an important part of therapy, but not to be provided separately from talk-therapy. It was never meant to be over the counter medicine.

As for changing the way you are... trauma does that. wearing glasses does that. exercising does that. Let's not get too defensive.

My fiction story starts with a flashback to the POTUS accusing China of releasing Covid19 as a bio weapon. This time around however, it was exactly what they did.
With many millions of people suspicious of government intervention and big pharma, the body count is horrendous and the USA are firmly in failed State territory.

The same happens in many other developed countries and when the situation is stable again, the population aged 50+ is so scarce that the new Eco fascist regimes are now predominant and decide to commit permanently to that sort of population control.

...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:

I'm wondering if the state of the art is any better than 20 years ago, or whether today I'll read any new well-reasoned arguments for/against nuclear power generation.

Renewables, baby! Renewables!

I'm so impressed that the current POTUS earns millions in support from the oil industry while promoting renewables.

Damn right we were incel before it became fashionable!

There are many possibilities before workers withdraw their labour.
The union should advise their members about what they can aim to achieve and what legal ramifications exist.
They should be easier to deal with compared to 5000 ignorant people, although not as easy as 5000 people who sign any contract without asking questions.
While the employers can pay a retainer to HR experts, 5000 people need to pool their resources to get similar quality of legal advice. This should be the basic understanding, rather than "unions = strikes".

Sort of. It's a diverse crew yes, but the engineering resources, time and consumption of fuel to achieve ?What?????? is not my kind of woke.

Put them in anti truck

They can remove the infinite scrolling feature, replace it with pages.
The recommendations could be turned off by default until someone goes to the settings menu and opts in.

Mine was that OF upheld standards of moderation and censorship that were acceptable enough that mainstream payment providers did not rush to refuse service to OF, their consumers and their creators.
As a consequence they became the legal venue for adult content even if they wanted to be an alternative to YT, Vimeo, etc.

I wonder if the newspaper website has a switch for people to choose between "Basic maths" vs "weird analogies".

You don't borrow but plenty of other people are mortgaged.

In your country it might be different but here in the UK when there were serious market crashes, some people were contacted by their mortgage provider demanding a top up of guarantee.

  Ie: if your loan is against a property evaluated at 300k and right now it's worth 270k, the bank can demand you do something about it.
