Interpretation
Safety in technology requires more than effort; it needs thoughtful design.
Jensen Huang emphasizes that ensuring safety in technology is not solely about being cautious or putting in hard work. Instead, it requires a proactive approach in designing systems and technologies that inherently support safety measures, allowing for reliable and secure interactions with computers.
In practice
This quote can be used in a technology conference to emphasize the importance of safety in software design.
I think that's what's thrilling about leadership - when you're holding onto literally the worst possible hand on the planet and you know you're still going to win. How are you still going to win? Because that's when the character of the company really comes out.
One of the things I'm excited about is the observation that gamers are creators and creators are gamers too. We used to think of creators as workstation customers and think of gamers as consumers.

[The] dynamics of computational artifacts extend beyond the interface narrowly defined, to relations of people with each other and to the place of computing in their ongoing activities. System design, it follows, must include not only the design of innovative technologies, but their artful integration with the rest of the social and material world.
If I had time and a hammer, I'd track down every bootleg copy and smash it.
Avoiding complexity reduces bugs.
