A fireside chat on Monday between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the SIGGRAPH 2024 group discussion in Colorado took a fewunexpected turns .
It started innocently enough , with Huang waxing convinced about the capableness of Nvidia GPUs and Zuckerberg speaking abouthis vision of an AI chatbot future . But by the last , Huang and Zuckerberg were swap custom - made jackets — a throwback to theviral memefrom earlier in the year .
“ It ’s black and leather and shearling , ” Zuckerberg said , identify the coating he brought for Huang . “ It ’s a vibe . I mean , get this bozo a chemical chain . ”
Huang give Zuckerberg a new leather jacket that he said his wife , Lori , buy him to memorialize this year ’s SIGGRAPH . He ’d been wear out it for the past two hours .
“ This is worth more because it ’s used , ” Zuckerberg say .
Other surprise highlights in the hour - retentive interchange included references to the cow Zuckerberg’sraisingon his ranch in Hawaii , an F - turkey free fall and Zuckerberg’sstyle makeover . ( Zuckerberg described it as “ early microscope stage . ” ) Huang did n’t hold back when it came to roasting Zuckerberg — a perquisite of Meta’sdependency on Nvidia for model - breeding computer hardware , perhaps .

At one point Huang gave an anecdote about Zuckerberg ’s tomato fade drug abuse . While cooking cheesesteak sandwiches together at Huang ’s house , Zuckerberg was assigned the job of cut the tomatoes , Huang recounted .
“ And so , Mark , I handed him a tongue , ” Huang said , “ and he cuts the tomato . Every single one of them are perfectly sliced , to the exact millimeter . But the really interesting thing is , I was expect all the tomato to be sliced and kind of stack up , kind of like a deck of menu . But but when I turn around , he said he needed another another plate . And the understanding for that was because all of the tomato he abbreviate , none of them touched each other . Once he split up one slice of tomato from the other tomato plant , they shall not touch again . ”
Huang playfully chasten Zuckerberg about wanting second helpings of cheesesteak at the dinner . “ Make me another cheesesteak , Jensen , ” Zuckerberg retorted .
But the interview envelop up on a more complimentary note . Huang complimented Zuckerberg ’s figure .
“ I think Mark is pretty buff , ” he said . “ bet , the guy ’s pretty jacked . ”
Zuckerberg , wrap his limb around Jensen , returned the praise . “ You too , military man . ”
