  "account": "Nine days before Jensen Huang resigned as Nvidia CEO, I sat in the front row at a San Francisco conference where he spoke about the future of AI. During his speech, two moments stood out: the first was Huang's absence of his iconic black leather jacket, which I initially found amusing but now seems more meaningful given recent revelations; the second was Huang's description of his management style with 60 executives reporting directly to him. He explained this structure was established over three decades ago when computers and email were revolutionizing business. While Huang wasn't certain about the ideal company structure in the AI age, his words hold significance now. With Huang's resignation, Nvidia faces a significant succession challenge as his 60 direct reports may not have the experience or responsibility to lead the company. However, Huang's emphasis on giving executives considerable freedom to make decisions and work together, rather than following a rigid hierarchy, provides some hope for the company's future adaptability.",
