Rafał Trzaskowski, who is expected to participate in the presidential elections on behalf of the Civic Platform, gave a lecture at the University of Warsaw and made a big mistake. The failure is even greater because Trzaskowski commented on a topic that, as a former Digital Minister, he should have known. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Trzaskowski’s mistake
The President of Warsaw, as we can read on his profile on the Europe.” One of the excerpts from his lecture particularly caught the attention of internet users. These are Trzaskowski’s words about the American company known for producing graphics cards: Nvidia. The politician said that no one knew the company four years ago. The problem is that the company was founded in 1993 and has been a leader in its industry for a long time.
Even Nvidia, which (…) no one had heard of four years ago, produced chips that could perform many activities simultaneously. They were primarily intended for optical technology, but then it turned out that artificial intelligence needs exactly this type of integrated circuits and today it is one of the richest in the world.
– said Trzaskowski, who, it should be recalled, was once the Minister of Digital Affairs.
“You have no idea of the basics.”
The words of the President of Warsaw did not escape the attention of Internet users who could not believe that such things could be said.
What a bummer! He wanted to show off his technological knowledge, but he ended up embarrassing himself. According to Rafał Trzaskowski, NVIDIA was an unknown company four years ago
– wrote PiS MP Sebastian Kaleta.
I’m sorry, what is this nonsense from Mr. Trzaskowski? Are there any stories about Nvidia? As far as I remember, Riva 128 was a breakthrough, and GeForce 256 in 1999 was nothing at all. Does this man even know what he’s talking about? what optical solutions, what is this nonsense?
– asked (rhetorically) the head of the National Broadcasting Council, Maciej Świrski.
I think generations of gamers using Nvidia cards might disagree…
– said Radosław Fogiel from PiS.
According to Trzaskowski, four years ago no one had heard of nVidia… This man was the Minister of Digital Affairs… I admire how you can say such nonsense with complete conviction without even blinking your eyes
– we read in another comment.
By @trzaskowski_ 4 years ago NO ONE HAS HEARD what NVIDIA is. Dude, 20-25 years ago everyone wanted to have a computer with a GeForce card produced by Nvidia. And then she was already very famous. You think you are well educated and well read, but you have no idea of the basics.
What a shame for the whole world. The elite, potential candidate for the presidency, FORMER MINISTER OF DIGITALization, Rafał Trzaskowski, has no idea what Nvidia is. He believes that four years ago no one knew what this company was. We now know why they hate PiS investments so much.
23 years ago, NVIDIA was already in the S&P 500 index of the largest listed companies. Somehow that’s when I first heard about her. Trzaskowski became Minister of Digital Affairs in 2013.
This doesn’t happen.
