How about he sacrifices his life/mind for the sake of his beloved AI. Maybe Jensen Huang AI will be more reasonable with market pricing. Just another perspective, poor guy has it hard.
Jensen Huang says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage"

I think, on the contrary, it provided the opportunity to cool down the market. Now the whole bubble concept is priced into the market which is a way healthier financial situation.
The people who don't believe the hype, are out as investors.
As for me, I totally believe Lisa Su estimates when she is talking about the industry.

Jensen really don't care about his income at this point.
He is doing all this because he believes in what he is doing.
I hate the guy with a passion, but nobody can deny the potential of the technology.

AI is here to stay - the problem is that the industry is putting way too much effort and weight behind AI at this point. It's currently not of much use to anyone outside of specific work tasks - Yet it gets -all- the focus.
It's fine, build datacenters..but do it over a period of time that makes sense. Don't crash the consumer market, don't take over half the powergrid, don't shut down game studios to fund an "AI Race" ...The "light in the tunnel" for common use of AI is more than 5 years away...Let research and development actually catch up instead of forcing AI laptops and Cpu's with currently "unknown" benefits.

@ Jensen Huang
Oh no, we're hurting your AI bottom line? What an absolute fricken Greek tragedy... Guess you'll have to go back to making what we consumers actually care about, you know, GPU's.
Put another way, quit being a greedy nitwit and get back to making things that the world wants. We don't want AI, we don't need AI and most of us actively remove it from our PCs/devices.
And by the by, claiming AI is not a bubble will not stop it from being one and not stop that bubble from popping.
Prepare yourself accordingly.

Truly speaks like a billionaire he is. People can't buy RAM, GPUs costs are insane as well.
No negativity.
Not to mention rising costs of electricity.

Speaking as a long-time Nvidia customer: good.

Nah, there's no way that AI is bad, everyone says its bad, but industry billionaire said it's good! So it MUST be good!
Right? There's no way a company leader would lie to our faces and try to gaslight us into believing this unsustainable push is legitimate!
That is exactly what this is. The emperor has no clothes, but he is gonna do his best to convince us how dashing his new wardrobe is.
Sorry Jensen, but you've done it. Literally everybody hates you. Gotta cry yourself to sleep now with your trillions.
AI can be helpful, and that's proven. However, it's also proven that the excessive investment is hurting consumers more. In fact, the excessive AI focus is causing shortages of all kinds. So where does all the AI hate come from? It's obvious isn't it? Conversely, AI now is damaging the society instead. Only very rich people will not feel the impact cause they have the money to cushion themselves.
"Their intentions are clearly deeply conflicted, and their intentions are clearly not completely in the best interest of society,..."
Jeez.......what a bl***y hypocrite.

"There is no ethical consumption under capitalism", is what you're alluding to. Therefore, you have to pick your battles, or the only logical conclusion you can reach is that the truest form of liberation from the system (technological or otherwise) is to ditch everything modern and become a hermit. Or Amish.
It truly is rich that the guy, who sells the shovels to gold diggers, has the audacity to whine about how people are complaining about his shovel-selling. But, I mean, what do you expect? His customers are now almost exclusively companies developing AI products. I bet it doesn't register to him, most of the time, that consumers use his products. Because they have "consumer money", but they don't have "AI money".
Guess which one matters more to the bottom line and the share price...

Didn't his cousin at AMD say the same? they only focus on AI now, gaming is the past for them.
If you boycott every product whose billionaire owners or CEOs are harming society you wouldn't have a phone, a bank account, or pretty much anything.
But yes let's keep the two-minutes fanboy hate.
I've been thinking that ever since appliances started having wifi
The cynicism in this thread is exactly why we’re trending toward a real-life version of Idiocracy. We’ve spent the last century trashing the planet and our health, and now that we finally have a tool that can act as a massive force multiplier to help us fix it, people want to throttle it because their gaming hardware got more expensive.
It’s the ultimate irony: while some of you are so worried about the price of a GPU to build imaginary worlds where you achieve nothing, you’re literally taking yourselves out of the solution for the real world. You’re choosing high-res escapism over actual survival.
AI isn't a replacement for us—it’s an AID that allows us to tackle the damage we were too slow or too selfish to fix on our own. Look at the 'real world' wins that actually matter:
Ending the Energy Crisis: While we argue over frame rates, AI is stabilizing nuclear fusion experiments, predicting plasma instabilities in milliseconds to help us unlock limitless, clean energy.
Cleaning Our Mess: We’ve flooded the earth with waste, but AI is now aiding the creation of plastic-eating enzymes and designing materials that can capture carbon directly from the air—tasks humans couldn't solve alone in 50 years.
Universal Accessibility: AI is acting as a force multiplier for the disabled, translating brain signals into speech for the paralyzed and providing real-time navigation for the blind.
Infrastructure Safety: AI is aiding engineers in detecting structural fatigue in bridges and power grids before they collapse, preventing the kind of 'Idiocracy' infrastructure decay we see starting to happen.
If you're more pissed about the cost of a hobby than you are excited about the chance to reverse ecological collapse or cure paralysis, you’ve proved Huang’s point. We shouldn't slow down the tech that can rebuild society just because it’s making it harder for you to hide in a simulation. Let's start using the tools to be smarter, not just more entertained.

But isn't voting with the wallet what we're expected to do?

"Souless, and the mastermind behind the biggest scam in human history," you mean.
Lol, I have too....
I see all of these people complaining about how rich Jenson is and how much they hate him and his vision...while they update their RTX drivers.

This is a passionate take, but it’s built on a false dichotomy that makes no sense.
Nobody here is arguing that AI has no real world value. Most people agree it’s already helping in medicine, materials science, accessibility, and research. The problem is pretending that consumer concerns are somehow immoral or “anti progress,” as if GPUs for gaming are the reason fusion research lives or dies.
Newsflash....They aren’t.
The GPUs driving fusion simulations, medical research, and infrastructure modeling are not the same products being priced out of the consumer market. H100s, MI300s, and data center accelerators were never destined for someone’s gaming PC. What people are frustrated about is manufacturers deliberately neglecting and inflating the consumer segment while using “AI will save the world” as a shield against criticism.
That isn’t cynicism....it’s called accountability.
Also, calling gaming “imaginary worlds where you achieve nothing” is a cheap shot at it's finest. Entertainment, art, play, and community have always mattered to humans, especially during periods of stress and instability, like the C19 pandemic. By that logic, books, movies, music, and sports are also distractions from “actual survival.” That’s not how societies work.
You can be excited about AI helping cure paralysis and be upset that a midrange GPU now costs rent or mortgage money. Those positions aren’t mutually exclusive unless you deliberately frame them that way.
Progress doesn’t require consumers to shut up and accept worse outcomes “for the greater good,” especially when the burden isn’t being shared equally. Questioning pricing, market priorities, and corporate behavior doesn’t slow innovation.....it keeps it honest.
So no, being annoyed about GPU prices doesn’t prove Huang’s point.
If anything, it proves a different one....that technological progress shouldn’t require gaslighting the people who helped build the industry in the first place.
I agree that markets are complex and companies don’t operate like individual moral actors. That part isn’t controversial. Where I disagree is treating “that’s just how the system works” as a reason to shut down criticism instead of engaging with it.
Economics explains why decisions happen, not why they should be beyond scrutiny. Pointing out harm, hypocrisy, or misaligned incentives isn’t moral theater, it’s how feedback enters a system that otherwise cares only for profit.
Emotional detachment may be necessary in a boardroom, but the public isn’t required to adopt it. When CEOs choose to speak publicly, they’re shaping narratives. If those narratives are self serving or dismissive, criticism is fair.
Yes, Jensen is doing what his role requires. That doesn’t mean his message deserves a free pass. Reputational pressure is one of the few real time corrective mechanisms consumers actually have, since regulation lags reality by many years.
Competitive systems are adversarial, but markets don’t self correct through silence. They correct through friction, and this reaction is earned.....plain and simple!
