He definitely seems approachable. Someone I knew from school interned at nvidia and supposedly he hosted a party at his house for the interns (possibly just PhD interns) and let people rev one of his fancy cars

Oracle also threw us a party as new hires at Mark Hurd's "house" (party villa) in Atherton. HR and all of the top dogs were there except for Larry and the Board of course. It was a nice gesture but he had a lot of security combing the house at all times and we weren't allowed to bring our phones even.

Definitely a well intentioned gesture but as always in SV corporate world, just becomes weirder by the minute :)

was an intern at nvidia. He's very approachable and all interns are invited to his huge ass california house. I saw came out of a meeting and just said hi to him. He's pretty much an engineer just like everyone except he's a CEO and he doesn't have that douchebag vibe like most tech CEOs are.

As someone trying to start a company of my own, I really enjoyed that talk he gave on the steps, where he talked about how nvidia was born and grew up. Highly motivating. In fact I curate such entrepreneur talks.

Any playlist do you like to share?

Yeah every year he throws a party for the interns. Not a weird sketchy one either, but HR is involved, drinks are limited and that whole thing.

He gives me creepy vibes. But every CEO does that, so I’m not sure it’s a bad thing. At least I actually liked him.
