Visiting Taiwan w/ Jensen Huang | Lex Fridman
I’ve been traveling the world a bit. One of the most incredible experiences was getting to visit Taiwan with Jensen Huang. It was wild 🤯 Huge crowds, insanely good street food at night markets, and of course a lot of good conversations across many days. I caught some of it on video, this is it.

Shit, Jensen seems so strange and intense. Fine-tuned talkative and outgoing shell around a super-introverted and anxiety ridden core.
And he is really going all in to become your buddy Lex. His nervous eyes and the stuff he says at times gives off the vibe that the guy on the inside is a completely neurotic and hyper-sensitive kid who is constantly on the look out for kindred spirits who burns as strong as himself.. I wonder if all these top tech guys and top powerful people in the world are all like this. Makes me wonder how they talk amongst each other in private and I hope they care at least a bit about the rest of us.
It's gotta be wild for such a guy to become a "rockstar" like this.

Lex said that Taiwan dominates semiconductors because of culture and education. Most important It is the product of investment and planning. They prioritized creating this industry and it is very complicated and not easily replicable. It's not that mysterious.

Jensen walking Taiwan’s night markets with Lex is pure Bourdain. Bourdain made chefs rock stars by showing the human behind the craft. Jensen’s doing it for engineers, and he doesn’t have to try. He’s a natural.
Best AI podcast I have watched in years. Street food, chips, AI, and more across a few nights in Taipei. Nobody else does it like Lex. Best line from Jensen: “I watch geopolitics, and then I gotto watch pandas and otters just to recover.”
