Huang and Zuckerberg swapped jackets at SIGGRAPH 2024 and things got weird
Jensen Huang and Mark Zuckerberg swapped jackets and shared anecdotes at SIGGRAPH 2024, including Zuckerberg's precise tomato slicing and cheesesteak dinner.
At the SIGGRAPH 2024 conference in Colorado, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg engaged in a lighthearted fireside chat that took several unexpected turns. Huang praised Nvidia GPUs, while Zuckerberg shared his vision for an AI chatbot future. They concluded by swapping custom-made jackets, reminiscent of a viral meme earlier in the year.
Zuckerberg described his jacket for Huang as black, leather, and shearling, joking about adding a chain to complete the look. Huang gifted him a leather jacket his wife Lori had bought to commemorate SIGGRAPH, leading Zuckerberg to comment on its increased value due to prior use. The hour-long conversation also explored topics like the cows on Zuckerberg's Hawaii ranch, style makeovers, and candid moments, including an F-bomb.
Huang humorously recounted Zuckerberg's meticulous tomato slicing habits during a cheesesteak dinner at his home. He noted that none of the slices touched each other, impressively spaced apart. The chat ended on a high note with Huang complimenting Zuckerberg's muscular build, to which Zuckerberg reciprocated, wrapping his arms around Huang.
