I wonder if people haven't seen his interviews or public appearances in the past 1-2 years, especially when anything to do with Trump came up. I don't find CEO interviews particularly interesting to begin with, because they're performing a role and can't give honest answers. Jensen took that dishonesty to a pretty high level.
Ezra Klein interviewed Jensen about 1.5 months ago and I had an off-putting feeling from it, and thought a lot of his answers were laughable. He sounded like he was obviously lying. A few days later, Klein interviewed Bill Gates and sort of anonymously brought up the arguments that Jensen made. You could see a visible disbelief of the arguments in Gates' face and posture, even saying "I almost can't believe you're asking that". (Not that Bill Gates is some paragon, but it wasn't close to a respectful disagreement.)
You could tell Ezra was frustrated in that interview. I thought his first two questions were pushing for a real answer from Jensen and he just sort of let it go because it was clear he wasn't going to get one. The notion that societal shifts were going to be fine and we were just ignoring human ambition, end of answer, was intellectually pretty wild. I also thought the subsequent Bill Gates interview was the perfect follow up.
