You do have to strive.

You have to claw your way here.

And the good graces of others.

Yeah.

You and I spoke about two people who are very dear to me, but the list goes on.

The people at NVIDIA who have helped me, many friends that are on the board, the decisions, them giving me the opportunity.

When we were inventing this new computing approach-

I tanked our stock price because we added this thing called CUDA to the chip.

We had this big idea.

We added this thing called CUDA to the chip.

But nobody paid for it, but our cost doubled.

And so we had this graphics chip company, and we invented GPUs.

We invented programmable shaders.

We invented everything modern computer graphics.

We invented real-time ray tracing.

That's why it went from GTX to RTX.

We invented all this stuff, but every time we invented something, the market doesn't know how to appreciate it, but the cost went way up.

And in the case of CUDA that enabled AI, the cost increased a lot.

But we really believed it.

And so if you believe in that future and you don't do anything about it, you're going to regret it for your life.
