> While the book is certainly a great read, I can't help but think that many people will try to replicate NVIDIA's culture (a la founder mode) when all they will do is replicate the effects/correlations and not the root causes.

That doesn't imply that you cannot get meaning from the story.

This is the naivete of many founders but it extends beyond startups and it is something embedded in human beings. There is no logical reason that you can copy the material and human context where NVIDIA, Apple, etc were born.

I assume you mean can't

Replicating Google/NVDA/etc today is useless.

Building a future Google/NVDA is extremely hard and draws little inspiration from the current Google/NVDA.
