Quantum error correction, on GPUs
First he smashes the industry, then he builds them error correction.
What makes NVIDIA different from Intel? Intel was the dominant chip manufacturer before GPUs took over in 2021. Intel didn’t innovate, didn’t explore new technologies. They sat still.
Jensen hedges his bets. He doesn’t want to lose on MAYBE a future relevant chip technology. And NVIDIA’s technology goes far beyond computer chips now.
One evidence:
January 2025: Jensen says useful quantum is 15-30 years away. Stocks crash 40-60%.
March 2025: He hosts “Quantum Day” — opens with: “This is the first event where a CEO invites guests to explain why he was wrong.”
First he smashes the industry, then builds them error-correction.
