I forget who said it, but if AI doesn't literally surpass all current realms of thinking and automate everything, i.e. what they promised, it has failed. To the investors it means it failed. With that, the stock does not continue up exponentially, which to investors also means it failed. Then they demand he resign, and they put someone else in there.
He could have stayed realistic through the whole thing. "Hey everyone, we're learning day by day, and we're proud to be the chipmakers to bring this to you." Modest growth, but sustainable long term growth. Instead they drank the kool-aid full on, and said that it'll cure all disease and wipe out hunger and everything else. Now he's freaking out because all of the latest ideas are duds, people aren't buying the hype anymore, and that means Jensen might be looking at the end of his tenure.

Of course they think the test of general intelligence is the ability to be a profiteering capitalist techbro, and intelligence can be measured in how many billions you can screw other people for. Maybe when the revolution comes it will dawn on them that they were wrong. A person can dream...

I was thinking "Nice, he's doing interesting technical interviews" then gradually it became longer and longer about broader and broader topics to the point I asked myself "So... is it still <>" then shortly after stopped listening entirely.
I think he's deal is networking. He started with his domain of expertise, namely AI, but then (that's just me speculating) he noticed the correlation between audience size and fame of the guest, so he tried to gradually climb the social ladder of guests, pulling bigger and bigger names regardless of the topic. He used fame from his employer, MIT, then of his guests, to keep on doing so, and it worked. I also imagined he noticed that the more controversial the broad topic was, again the bigger the audience.
So it went from technical niche to teach... to generalist discussion podcast trying

So it went from technical niche to teach... to generalist discussion podcast trying to be "open" to the most outlandish views.
TL;DR: it started good IMHO but it slowly yet surely devolved into garbage indeed.
