Comparing Claude to a personal trainer is not an adequate comparison.
The personal trainer doesn’t train for you, he or she teaches you movement patterns and educates you on proper form and maybe also on healthy dietary choices.
It’s more like if he was paying for a personal coding tutor, which Claude or ChatGPT can theoretically be as well, but that doesn’t seem to be what he did here.
For anyone reading through the article or watching the YouTube video: The reddit post quoted towards the end is actually a cloaked advertisement for “coderabbit”.
I didn’t notice until someone in the reddit comments pointed it out, when it became obvious.
Not that it changes anything about what the article conveys, but just as a note to give context to that reddit post and what the motiviation behind writing it was.
I think it would be silly to argue that they only figured that out know, or that they genuinely think that his affairs are what make him untrustworthy.
They could easily try to play it off and most people probably wouldn’t give a dime. They’d hear about it in the news, discuss it in social media and with their friends, but would anybody stop using LLMs because of it? Would any significant amount of people sell NVIDIA stock “just” because he had an affair (or two or three or…)?
I am not trying to defend him, but I genuinely do not think that the business side of NVIDIA would actually be affected by this.
However, how else could the NVIDIA board even go about firing Jensen Huang from his own company without a publicly disclosed affair with a Chinese spy or a similar situation? I don’t think they could, even if some people on the board or in the company were unhappy with him.
And to wrap back around to my first point: Maybe this covers up for something else? Why would they want to fire their CEO that has been printing them loads and loads of cash and will probably continue to do so for the next few years? I am not convinced that the board actually cares about him having an affair with that Chinese spy, but I obviously am just talking out of my a** lol
Not that I have an answer to that question, but I suppose one would have to gain a better understanding on just how important Jensen Huang was and is for NVIDIA’s success in terms of the circular financing deals and pushing its products to all kinds of companies.
In my opinion, there is an important difference, though: The software that people “create” with Claude, ChatGPT or whatever could have been created by most competent and skilled software developers, i.e. nothing ground breaking or world changing has been created by people using Claude or ChatGPT (at least not as far as I know, please correct me if I am wrong). However, this is different with regards to the iPhone or the light bulb, they were truly historic and world changing “creations”.
As far as I am concerned, it doesn’t really matter if you were the true “creator” of a certain product, software or invention, as long as you manage to sort of market the product and convince other people of the value of said product or invention (and as long it holds actual value to people).
