You’re not productive if you don’t use a lot of AI, says guy who makes all of his money selling AI hardware

Jensen Huang says Nvidia engineers should use AI tokens worth half their annual salary every year to be fully productive — compares not using AI to using paper and pencil for designing chips

You're not productive if you don't use a lot of AI.

Huang wants employees to pay half of their salary back to the company ? There is no escaping the company store, eh ?

CAD designers didn’t have to pay half of their salary to use the CAD tools the company wanted them to use.

I didn’t read it that way. I think he’s saying “bosses: if you’re paying a $100k salary to a dev and not also paying $50k for tokens, your dev isn’t working hard enough”.
Which is still utterly absurd, because it implies that a harder working dev would be spending more time chatting to a bot.
This is clearly a situation where you are expected to spend 100% of a budget to keep your job.
