Jensen Huang says the first AI supercomputer he ever built had exactly one customer on earth:
Elon Musk.
Back in 2016, he had just created a machine called the DGX1.
It cost $300,000 dollars.
He announced it on stage, and the room went completely silent since nobody understood it, so nobody wanted to buy it.
Since Elon knew him because Nvidia had built the first self-driving computer for the Tesla Model S, Elon bought & tried it.
Elon said he had a small company that could use it.
Jensen boxed one up himself and drove it to San Francisco. He carried it up to a room full of researchers. That tiny company turned out to be OpenAI.
The machine nobody wanted went on to launch the AI revolution.

He says the whole industry is about to learn a hard lesson in hardware.
Chip output is exploding, but electricity is nearly flat everywhere outside China.
So the two lines cross this
