Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And so that's a good frame of mind.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

I don't love the other methods, which is continuous improvement.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

The problem with continuous improvement,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

first of all, you should engineer something from first principles at the speed, you know, with speed of light thinking limited only by physical limits and, and physics limits.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And, um, after that, of course you would improve it over time.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

Um,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

But I don't like going into a problem and somebody says, hey, it takes 74 days to do this today, right now, and we can do it for you in 72 days.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

I'd rather strip it all back to zero and say, first of all, explain to me why 74 days in the first place.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

Let's think about what's possible today.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

If I were to build it completely from scratch, how long would it take?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

Oftentimes, you'd be surprised and might come to six days.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

Now the rest of the six days to 74 could be very well reasoned and compromises and cost reductions and all kinds of different things, but at least you know what they are.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And now that you know that six days is possible, then the conversation from 74 to 6 is surprisingly much more effective.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And Lex, we'll probably kind of crank out about 200 of these pods a week, just to put in perspective.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

You know, the phrase that I use most often is we need things to be as complex as necessary, but as simple as possible.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And so the question is, is all that complexity there necessary?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And we ought to test for that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And we ought to challenge that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

And then after that, everything else above it, you know, is gratuitous.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#494 โ€“ Jensen Huang: NVIDIA โ€“ The $4 Trillion Company & the AI Revolution

It is the most complex computer the world has ever made.
