Jensen Huang: 'Just because it came from a scientist doesn't make it scientific'
soleio · x · 2026-09-25
- The quoted remark attributed to Jensen Huang: "Just because it came from a scientist, it doesn't make it scientific… Don't think that just because you are an alarmist, you are doing any social good."
- Jason shared it calling Huang "a national treasure," sarthakgh amplified the quote as a jab at alarmist takes delivered under scientific authority, and soleio boosted it further.
The post reflects the ongoing doomer-vs-accelerationist feud in AI circles, with critics arguing scientific credentials shouldn't legitimize doom narratives.
