Nvidia names its first-ever board chair the same day its only CEO in 33 years resigns

A Reddit post notes Nvidia named a board chair for the first time in its history on the very day Jensen Huang resigned, with the CFO becoming interim CEO. The board publicly backed him Sunday, then reportedly met Wednesday to discuss removing him. The author frames it as a single point of failure — the company the whole AI industry runs on had one CEO and no chair until after the failure, just as agents need oversight and kill switches that teams usually add only after incidents.
