Jensen is NVIDIA. Left MSI, took on the #1 competitor in the space (3DFX) and dominated them, responsible for things like CUDA and DLSS, now supplies the hardware for most of high end gaming and ML, has a two year advantage over AMD, appeared in his kitchen for an announcement once then a few months later told everyone that the entire scene was done with high quality physics based rendering and nobody knew.
You would expect that. Except HN isn't very good with Hardware. It might have work with Linus or Carmack. Not so much with Jensen.
