On the flip side people who do skillfully contribute to others ability to live should be rewarded for doing so.

In my experience people who have these kinds of takes usually have no ambition and are looking for some kind of systematic explanation for why they’re unemployed

correct, doctors and scientific researchers are very important. billionaires are not.

Eh I don't think that being a billionaire on its own means you aren't very important. A lot are crony capitalists though, but many are doctors and scientific researchers

if any one of 3,428 billionaires didn’t show up to work, the world would continue spinning. even just one average employee being gone can make shifts difficult and cause things not to be done.

I mean just off the top of my head thats not really true for Nvidia and Jensen Huang.

That’s more of an issue with everyone putting their eggs in one basket (needing NVIDIA GPUs and funding). They’re diversifying a bit now though

I would assume Jensen Huang not showing up for a month might not have as much material impact as the lead QA specialist at TSMC though

I mean thats certainly an angle, but the reason that everyone bet on NVDA for so long wasn't just because they were there. Huang has been working on AI implementation since it wasn't a big deal, even countries that are beating us on electronics production like China need high end manufacturing capabilities that Nvidia spearheaded.

I hate to break it, but TSMC is practically made of failsafes. Their main factory has a god damn self destruction button. Production and quality control capabilities aren't going to crumble because one guy misses work.

I agree with NVIDIA’s dominance but I think the same goes for Jensen Huang then. If he misses a month of work, investors will be scared, but I don’t think day to day operations will see an impact. Companies have succession planning

Even the structure of the company would fall without him showing up, they don't have middle management.
