The line to get into the GTC Keynote looks more like a Beyoncé than a line to see a CEO talk about graphic cards.
Wow, this intro video to the presentation looks like every futuristic product company from a James Cameron film before they dominate society (*laughs uncomfortably*)
The intro video is truly made up of inspirational moments that turn a lot of science fiction lore into reality. Whether it be Nvidia powering robots picking tomato plants or devices that can identify diseases early, it is clear that we are in the future and just like the science fiction movies they are accompanied with semi-cheesy/epic John Williams sounding music.
The sheer breadth and depth of the companies that are using Nvidia is staggering – everyone from Blackrock, Airbnb, Tencent, and Walmart, to name a few. No wonder why they’re the most profitable company in the world right now.
Showing the RTX 5090 from 25 years ago in comparison to the one now emphasizes Nvidia’s consistency and longstanding position in the tech industry.
Jensen showed a computer graphic generated church on stage with him and gave this crazy stat regarding it: “for every pixel that we mathematically render, artificial intelligence infers the other 15”.
For there AI automotive halo system, 7 million lines of code have been safety assessed by third parties. 7 million!! *Chris Tucker voice*
I’m thoroughly convinced that the Nvidia Blackwell system will be the product suite that allows us to create Westworld-like virtual universes.
One of the more underrated things from Nvidia is their Omniverse software that allows them to build factories and simulate pretty much any type of actions that will happen in those factories whether it be robot movements or air and liquid cooling systems.
The robot from Disney at the end of the presentation was a great touch that gave the amazement factor of a 2000s Apple keynote. I couldn’t help but think of this as a catalyst moment for the world entering this momentous time in history as we watch the beginning of robots being implemented into mainstream society.
