wmatNvidia's Huang pitches AI tokens on top of salary
Huang is absolutely losing the plot, salary is compensation for work done, for time spent away from other things in life, and to sustain your life outside of work.
Tokens as "compensation" falls into the not-even-wrong bucket, tokens are business expenses as input for work.
Many of Nvidia's employees probably use token outside of work. Just like they just cars, heath insurance, and other benefits that many companies provide on top of salary.
If a company can provide a service or product to employees cheaper than the market can, then it makes sense to provide it as a perk.
