Since this is about AI, I asked an AI. Bottom line is… I have no idea and the AI doesn’t either:
How did the CEO of Nvidia insult gamers, artists, and Linux users?
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has made several statements that have been perceived as dismissive or controversial by gamers, artists, and Linux users:
Gamers:
In January 2019, Huang criticized AMD’s Radeon VII graphics card, calling it “underwhelming” and “lousy.” He stated, “The performance is lousy and there’s nothing new… [There’s] no ray tracing, no AI.” Such remarks were seen by some gamers as dismissive of competing products and their user base.
[okay?]
Artists:
In January 2024, NVIDIA showcased its ACE microservice, an AI suite capable of generating fully voiced AI characters. This demonstration raised concerns among artists about the potential for AI to replace human creativity and jobs in the industry. While Huang did not directly insult artists, the promotion of such technology led to apprehension regarding the future role of human artists.
[I guess he made a demo of technology?]
Linux Users:
In June 2012, Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, publicly criticized NVIDIA for its lack of support for Linux, calling the company “the single worst company we’ve ever dealt with.” He expressed frustration over NVIDIA’s unwillingness to support Linux systems, which was a significant concern for Linux users relying on NVIDIA hardware.
[It seems we are factoring in a lifetime of resentment. (But I agree)]
Okay and for those of us not keeping up with the news, why/how did he insult its own userbase?

Didn’t this guy made us overpriced GPUs and Linux support was problematic before?
You’re the one who posted the meme, you tell us
